Writing on the Wall

I saw the writing on the wall. She is yours it said. It was written in fire. It burned so bright. The heat was immense, yet I did not burn to a cinder. I turned to my left and there you sat radiant as the light played about you. I haven't seen your face for a thousand years. But I see you now as if I've seen you yesterday and every day prior to that.

Assignement 1-Sketch- A LightHouse in the Sea of Sludge

An assignment for my writing class. Write a short sketch of 400-500 words about an unusual place from your imagination or real life.                  In every city around the world, there is always one place amidst the grunge and decay of societies more immoral tendencies that stands like a lighthouse, whose illumination for all who witness it, is seen in the place's potential for the resurrection of decency and fellowship of the human spirit.  In the city of Edmonton, the place that I call home, I have found my own lighthouse in the sea of sludge.  The place that I am referring to is called Habesha Cuisine.  Located on an avenue made infamous for being a daily haunt of prostitutes looking to scratch a living off the services of their worn out bodies, a place where drugs are exchanged openly in various bars and alley ways as if they were food, bought and bartered for in a local bazaar of old...

The Greed Machine

A growing boy with a tortured soul, As he gets older the nights get cold, What made no sense as a child rings as truth as man, Human greed is responsible for suffering, Crack, heroine, ecstasy and alcohol has the people rolling in the gutter, Greed and the endless struggle for means has the people born to die. Barley living, from 2-10, a life of innocence,  Everything that comes after, all the suffering as the child grows, is the man's means to an end.  Welfare, dead end jobs, long days of labour as you grow sap the life from your soul,  watch your petals drop from the flower you were, stunting your growth and stealing your soul. Humanity withers under the glare of the corporate sun. Compassion for a fellow human being dies with the endless money dreams, addicted to your Benz, trips, fueling on artificial gasoline. A product of the machine,  a cycle of endless schemes to acquire monetary means,  chasing the cash and wealth,  never realizing you're chasing the wrong green. ...

Cold Carbon 4: Prince Charming is Dead.

I'm not your angel. I ain't no saint. I'll never be your prince charming, frankly I fuck up and make a lot of mistakes. I can't take you shopping in  Milan and we can't ride a boat in Venice. I ain't really good, and I can sometimes be a menace.  If you could change one thing about me, I wish you'd keep that information to yourself.  I am who I am, and will discover it all by myself. I need to be the nerd, the science- fiction geek. I need to be the bad bad boy that crushes your heart and makes you weep. I need to be elusive and constant in one breath. I need to live my passions and do what I enjoy even if it leads to my death. I can love you and yet not be with you. Call me an asshole for it, and here is a tissue. I shall smoke my shisha and have my Hennessey and Coke. I shall poke fun of anyone in my sights for the sake of a good joke. If you can't get down with all my contradictions and the way I am, then you're just another  piece of cold carbon,...
