Freakshow

You look up at that flag
Your heart brimming with patriotism
You could've been born elsewhere
Dancing to a different rhetoric,
Revelling in another anthem.

You're happy with your life
Insurance paid for that vacation
You could've been there around 1929
And have massacred your way,
Through the Great Depression.

You love your parents
And they love you back
You could've been an orphan,
Knocking on doors at Thanksgiving;
Felt up by paedophiles otherwise.

She's the love of your life
You can't imagine away
The very thought makes you cry
You could've missed that bus,
And picked up amorous flesh the rest of your life.

All life's a freakshow
Could've turned out so different
Death - now THAT, is certain.
How do you manage to live,
When you know .... it's coming?

Que tal

Took my spanish level 1 exam today.
El clase de nivel dos empieza proxma semana.

Have lost about 2-3 kgs after 12 days of fasting.
Un poco mas de dos semanas queda.

Never to rise

When the stars fall
Constellations explode
The sunshine never finds you
Hope, with all your faith

When today's all you have
Yesterday's a blur
Tomorrow may never come
Live, with all you have

When everything's yours
Every roll is 7 or 11
And she's finally in your arms
Fear, the coming that is death

When you know it's about to end;
Your life as you know it
When the sun's about to set,
Never to rise
What do you do then?

Pick of the week

The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be!
