I read this topic and then read some of the responses and I must say thanks to those who voted yes, I needed a good laugh. Does NASCAR "g... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dark Poems: 39 of 424
Secrets and silence, hatred and violence, little children running around in circles. And just one more day until I'm dead. Has paradise long committed suicide? And where do all the angels hide? In search of the devil to confide. There's not enough questions asked. And too many checks being cashed. Broken homes, broken bones,... More..

Where is my neutral There are two creatures that sleep under my bed, one is full of life and the other is half dead. There are two clouds that hover over my head,one is bright white and the other reflects sun red. There are two voices repeating all that I've said,one is soft and polite and the other is like lead. There are t... More..
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Life: 11 of 100
I climb the tree, the highest tree , from up here every little speck of you i see. My hands are gripping tight , so tight , i'm looking for a mugging , i'm looking for a fight. I perch like a cat looking to pounce this or perhaps mate that. I carry a stinch of failure and nicotine, i'm ready to break out and make a scene. Yo... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Prisoner of the world: 26 of 134
Cold Case The remote control falls from her hand to land in an ash tray filled with the sands of wasted time. Cold sweat drips from her battered body to soak a couch soiled from all the passers by. Telephone rings and knocks on the door,time passes by and another score will come to get her high. And the television blasts out... More..

Cover Girl Please take off the mask i want to see you! Chip away the mold society has placed upon you! I know underneath,there are tears that fall like rain. I know underneath there are scars from all the pain. I know underneath,there is a mind trying to break out. I know underneath,lye's terror,anxiety and doubt. Speak to m... More..

In a land of fat and waste , it's the vial secretions of you that i taste. Cholesterol milkshakes to wash down your mouthful of hypocrisy. Shoving dollar bills up fat asses while another starves overseas! Who has been thrown under the bus . . . "why it's the man with no dimes." With no ashes to ashes or dust to dust . .."why... More..
Health & Fitness > Medical Ethics Is signing a DNR (do not resuscitate) order passive suicide?: 14 of 30
Signing a DNR is not passive suicide by any means at all! Keeping active brainwaves through a machine is not "being alive", it's just being plugged in... Patients who endure such pain and misery from a chronic and deadly disease should have the right to be able to pass away with their grace and dignity in tact. Why should th... More..
