Mania and Dilutions...

I climbed a mountain
That walking on water feeling
The power
The strength
The mania

I made the river red
I parted the sea
The power
The strength
The mania

I cured cancer
I won the Nobel Prize
The power
The strength
The mania

I pressed the button
I dropped the bomb
The power
The strength
The mania

I created the Earth, light, everything
On the 7th day I rested
The power
The strength
The mania

At either end...

As a child I crawled into a culvert
I went into the tunnel
After a while it grew dark
The stones bruised my hands and knees
The water chilled me
It wasn't until then that I realized
What it was like to be alone
That I was alone
The day still sticks with me
When I have time to think
I am in that tunnel again
Alone
A small spot of light at either end
It's impossible to turn around
So I go forward
And hope that when this ends
I won't be alone

Memorial...

in the park stands a memorial
not proud, not meager, but forgotten
sheltered from the world
a figure rides astride a horse
rearing
fallen in battle and misunderstood
the orders given to protect
were warped before they reached the ears of the followers
prejudiced, they destroy
fallen but they fight in the name
but they forget
the memorial is forgotten
on it is a plaque and there it is written
here lies God

The Library...

All the world is a library

And we are all books

Or so you seem to think

You walk around to the places that interest you

Home improvement

Philosophy

Fantasy

You look at the books as you pass by

And sometimes one grabs you eye

The title

The look

Pick it up

Read the dust cover

Find out what it is about

After a bit you might even open it up 

See what's under the cover

In the pages here and there

And when you find one that suits 

You take it home

But not for long

When you are done you take it back

You keep looking

For another book

Life..

The Great Hill

When you start the view is amazing

And the world seems so big

As you begin to go down the hill 

You encounter bumps and small stones

They throw you off

But the wind on your face lets you know you're alive

After a bit you get use to the speed

And you want more

You peddle faster

Look at you go

But take care

Not too fast or you will miss it

You go off jumps

Tricks that once seemed difficult

Are now performed with ease

Too busy with what you are doing

Don't forget about the world

Too late

Too fast

Half way down already

You don't notice the view

The road is your focus

The rut you are in

The home stretch

It seemed so smooth from the top

It seemed so easy

But you notice every bump

You are sore

Near the end

The hill seemed so big

But it's gone now

And you just taste the ground

A key...

Just because I can come and go

Doesn't mean I am free to leave

A prison without bars they say

You are on the other side

But I am the one who counts the days

You have distractions

And I have these walls

There are windows though from which I can see the world

But it doesn't pass me by

There are things to do here but I can't

Waiting to see what you are doing

Plan my life around your day

And you seem to sense it

When I stop thinking and start doing

You call

God damn them all...

I was told
Opposing views
Opinions biased
Advice turning me astray
Guidance leading to disaster

You deceitful bastards
Betray my faith
But deceive me no longer

Grit my teeth
Bite the lip
Blood drips as I
Take responsibility

Mislaid
I have made mistakes
But I am lost no longer
