Sickness MAG

By Anonymous

You wreak black
like nightfall.
You words are
dark and sharp.
You spear hearts
to see them bleed.
You run wild
with the sun
which so willingly
burns you.
Your harsh words
have never echoed
so clear and sound
with the wind.
Your words dug
gashes in the moon
and light the sky.
Dark looms and
has never hesitated.
We wonder why

Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;A hero is someone who rebels or seems to rebel against the facts of existence and seems to conquer them. Obviously that can only work at moments. It can&#039;t be a lasting thing. That&#039;s not saying that people shouldn&#039;t keep trying to rebel against the facts of existence. Someday, who knows, we might conquer death, disease and war.&rdquo; -Jim Morrison

Yesterday is history. Tommorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift that&#039;s why they call it the present.

&quot;My role in society, or any artist&#039;s or poet&#039;s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.&quot;
