The Girl She was born late in the year on a night where the moon and stars could not be seen. No one was sure how she came to be at all, as her mother was shunned from the town as a witch. She practiced ancient ways that scared the townspeople, and refused to accept any of the modern rites, as her mother had done before, and her mother before. When her mother was found to be pregnant, the townspeople dreaded what she held inside her. They thought that it would have to be pure evil, and couldn’t possibly be human. They would jeer at the woman, and throw rotten fruit at her when she went to market, but she would just turn to the person and smile sThe Girl by ~fearlady
The Turd? Walking into class last Wednesday,The Turd? by ~fearlady
I found something on the floor.
It was brown and oozing, squished,
Half of it sticking to the chair.
The other half was ingrained in the carpet,
The brown blending with the green
In a wet, grotesque manner.
Why is this turd on the classroom floor?
Should it not be in a toilet?
I asked this to all of my colleagues,
But all looked puzzled
Until one brave soul walked over
To get a better look.
It’s not a turd Sam, he informed me with a smile,
It’s a doughnut.
Oh.
Sleepwalkers Wake up!Sleepwalkers by ~fearlady
Everyone walks by in a fog,
Sleepwalking through life,
Complacently accepting everything.
Everything.
How can they?
When will they spit up
From all the shit they swallow?
One would think that they would notice
That it tastes bad.
I almost want to Baaahhhh at them,
Those poor sheep
Being led to slaughter.
Wake up, darlings, wake up.
Sleepwalking will get you nowhere
But lost
Sylvania It is a travesty when a piece of technologySylvania by ~fearlady
Is named after a wooded area.
It is like naming high schools after Indian tribes
that once lived where the foundation of the school
Now stands.
What is the fascination of naming destructive forces
After what was destroyed?
Technology destroys nature.
What right does it have to bear its name?
This fact is made even worse
Because the average American
Does not even know what sylvania means.
Maybe if we were more interested in learning,
Technology wouldn’t infringe so much
On the names of the natural world,
And we could keep the barrier firmly in place,
Right where it belongs.
