A writer who doesn't write
A dreamer living out a nightmare
An athlete out of shape
A scholar with a useless education.
I am a father
and I care
too much,
I care
way
too
much.
The Pitiful Us
The world has seen you
tie your arms
and bear your soul
for the agony.
You were trapped
and I was fighting
wars in my own mind.
She was there
and so was he
and there will never be
another pitiful us.
Again with the games
again with the blood
again with the sorrow.
So stop then
she said
and so did he.
For all the trouble people have caused over the years. I do not hate people, In fact I remain just as enthralled by them as I was 20 years ago. People are awesome, there is so much love in the world, in the right places. Yup, there are hateful scenes and places as well, but those are easy enough to avoid.
For a long time, I tried to win over the hateful people. I know now that is a fool's errand, those people find other hateful people and I can never be that. As much as they can damper a guy's perspective, usually it doesn't take long to notice something in humanity that snaps me back to the truth that people are awesome.
Just don't go to Swigs pub and grill in Cedarbrae, Calgary. That place is a cesspool of hate if I've ever seen one. Rotten to the core. Took me long enough to realize though, and took me a while to get the stink off me from working and being around it for so long.
They aren't like us though. Thank fuck.
Set aside some time and watch this.
