Make Me A Machine

Fuck this stupid heart
This psycho body part
Make me a machine
On oil or on steam

Take this useless piece of flesh
And give me something new
This things that led to all this mess
Are connected to you

I will think of you no more
I'll get this stupid thing replaced
Get a heart-engine installed for sure
That won't lead to a waste

-------------

I can't add a fourth para, so there is a story instead. The First, on my story blog.

I Don't Know Why I am Losing Myself

No one has tried to wake me
Slept somewhere back in time
Now i sleep walk like a zombie
And everything is fine, so fine.

Oblivious to world falling apart
The words of critics don't matter
This sick rhythm is of my heart
While my body gets fatter

Sometimes i'm nudged from my dreams
I grasp and flounder in the dark
But the thread is loose in the seams
The arrow always misses the mark

So I fall back in blissful ignorance
Like a dead fish, go with the flow
Is there a chance of happiness?
I don't know, I don't know

-----------
I fall down 7 times, i bounce back 8.

There was a quote i read a long time ago, "If you can write a poem about it, you can defeat it"

I am fighting.

Kieran : (Dark and Melancholic Poetry) by Nickolai Kinny :: A Review

(This is the first time I'm doing this, so all errors and opinions are mine, except where indicated)

Nickolai contacted me through twitter to write a review post about her book, Kieran : Dark and Melancholic Poetry. She sent me a PDF file of the book. I read it. There were things I liked in the book, specially the typography, the design and the black smudge thingie in between the poems. The poems are good. They show that she listens to a lot of rock music. I'd say Metallica, Megadeth, Radiohead, Linkin Park, The Killers, Evanescence, and some Opeth maybe. It's good to know where a poet is coming from and its fun to spot the influences. It's teenage poetry, sometimes desirous, sometimes angry, sometimes confused, but it's poetry.

The poems: The poems in the book are a mix and match of various forms. The poetess doesn't stick to a format, which is good in some poems, but sometimes jarrs the reading experience. While the title says Dark and Melancholic, the poems go pretty positive as they go. And, there are no monkeys in the poems, which is ok, but its nice to have some monkeys in poems. Here's a lil sample from "Live On"

Our spirits murdered brutally by life's barbarism
 Yet we live on to see the light of another day
             Are we not immortal?

Cool!

Right. That's about it. If this kind of stuff rocks your boat and you feel inclined to buy the book, you can do it here.

 

Death and Poetry

http://www.gotpoetry.com/News/article/sid=54038.html

Zardasht Osman, an Iraqi college student who recently wrote a satirical poem decrying Iraq's ruling party led by President Massoud Barzani, was abducted. His body was found handcuffed on a roadside four days later, after he had been shot to death.

This is just sad.

Poetry has caused revolution, i hope Osman's death sparks a revolution too. RIP.

Wanted To Rule The World

When I was 13
I had a solid ambition
I could feel it in my bones
Whenever I was alone

It burned my soul like a fire
I believed I could rule the world
And see my enemies driven before me
Their women raped and children slaved

But I had to get a job
Now I only have Monday blues
Still I have a plan
Always been that kinda man

Once I get my head in order
Which might be soon or never
I will unleash terror upon this planet
And rule the world till forever

--------
Late at night. Been more than a day since I spoke to a human being. Silence makes me want to rule the world.

Truer words...
