Bridge ices before road

The bridge ices before the road. The free freeze before the chained chill.

Masters and slaves

Where are our masters?
who are our slaves?
Lying by the window
waiting for freedom
as the sunshine mixes
with our drool

Looking back
at the times that were,
horrible nightmares,
dreams we wouldn't dare see in the night

skeletons in our closet
never accepted.
Secrets never celebrated
tails between our legs.

never understood
never laughed at
always stabbed
for breathing the air

who dares kill me tonight
who dares touch me
I shall rip out your guts
from your very soul
and feast on them
till I am one with the darkness

A Time to live

Fatalists. People who believe that all events are predetermined, that no outcome can be changed from what it has been set to be. However, if you think about it, fatalist is a mere term, whose meaning says no more than what we already know.
Almost all people agree the predicting the future is next to impossible. But predicting, anticipating, and preparing for events is one of the most necessary skills. When another car on the highway swerves towards me, I forsee that unless I get out of its path, I'm going to be badly mangled, and I yank the wheel of my car to get away. I anticipate that I will not have a severe food shortage tomorrow, so I don't stock up on food or overeat.
Most things we predict are based on prior experience or trust or both. I've seen the sun rise everyday at the exact time that my TV station predicted. I trust that station, so I will believe their prediction for tomorow morning's sunrise time. I do not trust their forecast of summer storms however, and will carry my umbrella every day.
To be a fatalist, a person should believe that all events are predetermined. Does this mean that fatalists believe in the existance of an all-knowing entity?? Dont think so.

Home and Away

There were a bunch of clowns who lived on a small tropical island which was uninhabited, save for them. They had not seen the rest of the world for many years. Some of the clowns thought it was a blessing that they lived that way, while others felt it was a curse. There were, however, a few buffoons who regarded their isolation from mainstream civilization neither as a boon nor as a curse. To them, it just was.

Moral of the story: Some clowns just dont get it; there's nothing to get.
