See, today we were talking about current events, and mostly, the Kosovo issue. I am one to stand up and say war is pointless, to get rid of guns completely, and make friends with all these countries, because what right do we have to take this land and call it ours? We are all creatures of this planet and a war is pointless. I don't want to get into that issue though, so I'll shut up. Anyway, I was totally freaking out, because i hate anything violent, so I wrote this.... not the best, but o well. I take shelter in my basement And listen to the rumble. In the distance it cries. My mother weeps, my father holds her hand As we prepare for the worst. My hands are dirty, from the soot that falls from the broken walls We sit and listen for the sound of footsteps Footsteps that will save our lives Or take them away I place my life In the palm of those who argue with missels and make peace with war. And some others, just because I have them with me. You place your hand On my hair And stroke softly Causing ripples in the waves Cascading down Like a waterfall, it flows to past my chin to meet your hand in unity - --------------- I deal with life's injustices Just as we all do By banishing it to the far end of my mind Forgetting it ever happened - ------------- I remember the song that played On the day that we danced And how the whole world seemed to stop And we were turning, turning around In our own universe And how the piano kept on playing And the music drifted in And we kept moving, moving slowly And it's days like these That I remember that dance And remember how you walked away It's days like these That I yearn for the sound of that piano - ------------------ you called me thoughtful and asked for my insite i said leave me and let your mind wander aimlessly - --------------- I am amazed By the flesh of your hand that binds together With the movement of Muscle How you speak, the movement of your lips and your smile Bringing laughter I am amazed By the creature that is you - ---------------- If your eyes Don't look in my direction My heart won't break and if your smile wasn't meant for my My heart won't break If we were not meant To be together My heart won't break It will shatter (I wrote that one after I read someone else's poem.... inspiration) That's all..... tell me what you think (: <3 Rachel <3 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 22:12:14 -0500 From: Courtney M Gordon Subject: ET: poem (untitled, of course) I re-enter that ever familiar but still very strange world I've come to know all too well. Where going too far, farther than we knew was right, was just the beginning of everything good. Where grunge was still it, and Dazed and Confused was our life story on video. Where gazing at nothing and talking to the faries that hide in the flowers was our definition of normal. the other world. Check ya later, man. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ love and junk Courtney "Do fire trucks come out at night? What do horses eat for lunch? The little people have a hunch!
