A child’s heart is innocent
Sweet, simple and pure

The Luckiest Man
They call me —
The luckiest man on the planet
Because I was struck by lightning
Twice
And survived each time
While I consider them luckier
To have never been struck by lightning at all

To help me fly away

A Poem Is Not A Reflection

Unsame
For every man who pleasures
There is a man who pains
For every man who loses
There is a man who gains

Pray in the good Lord’s name

Sealed with Vengeance’s lips
Demonstrate to the world

Why does it pain when I bleed?
Why can’t it just tickle?
Who, the laws of nature, agreed
To let them be unfickle?
Did a mighty, and just being
Create pain, unhappiness
Sat forth in the skies then seeing
The laws’s steadiness?
