			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We grow as people, yet in our lives,<br />
we tend to be the tender beings, stuck in time.<br />
Not wanting to grow, nor wanting to change,<br />
just being loved for what we are.<br />
Most of us don&#8217;t know what they want to be,<br />
having been told too many times, what we can and can&#8217;t do.<br />
Yet we just want to be loved, for what we are.<br />
Opened eyes and breathing deeply, nothing more to do,<br />
maybe eat, sleep and shit. Sometimes we move,<br />
othertimes we don&#8217;t, and still, we just want to be loved, for what we are not.</p>

fighting, not for their lifes but for their pride.<br />
choking, coughing, wrestling, sweating, aching, gassing.<br />

positions change, the game stays the same<br />
fighting, not going for the kill, but for the win.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>it&#8217;s not even bloody,<br />
no crimson, no stains,<br />
nothing is torn, or ripped.<br />
yet it&#8217;s tunes turn to horror,<br />
the longer they last.</p>
<p>running for weeks,<br />
more than 6 weeks a year<br />
the suicide rate skyrockets<br />
and families dismantle.</p>
<p>the season of love,<br />
no bitterness allowed.<br />
we all should just cherish<br />
the big ol&#8217;green tree.</p>
<p>traditions rooted<br />
far older than the church<br />
yet claimed to be theirs<br />
only an adopted idea.</p>
<p>after all you can love it<br />
if you stay sane<br />
keep the business out ya mind<br />
and celebrate without fear.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>screw you,<br />
I just placed my order<br />
it&#8217;s time to forget all the nice things<br />
and scream fuck you at the world.</p>
<p>sometimes we are handed a pack of cookies<br />
but more often we have to fight for the sweets.<br />
sometimes we even have to order a pack of fuck you<br />
as you can&#8217;t get any further without offending someone.</p>
<p>living broken dreams and wanting to change<br />
it&#8217;s easier to give up and call it a day. whining. crying.<br />
smiling at the people taking your cookies,<br />
than to face your problems and<br />
give them a pack of<br />
fuck you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>don&#8217;t need a medal,<br />
unless it&#8217;s golden.<br />
can afford to run down the court,<br />
has the money to fix all his stumbles,<br />
paying the drugs,<br />
and feeding the cat.<br />
all the pain in his back, knees, joints, bones and muscles,<br />
he will suffer them all,<br />
playing a game meant<br />
for pleasure.</p>
<p>making more money with blood,<br />
sweat<br />
and entertainment,<br />
than joe at his job.</p>
<p>he&#8217;s not more than a tool,<br />
like the hammer on joe&#8217;s belt,<br />
for others to make more,<br />
than he will ever earn.</p>
<p>he might have some bucks,<br />
yet his due date is punched,<br />
will expire soon.<br />
ready to be thrown away,<br />
commenting on a game, where he was the best,<br />
now there are new cats on the block.<br />
fading away,<br />
remembered by the old bellies of the fat fan,<br />
paid to do the expert talk,<br />
on mainstream TV.</p>
<p>thinks he&#8217;s a millionaire.<br />
taxes and luxury are reality.<br />
thinning his pocket,<br />
cause a few million ain&#8217;t enough,<br />
with a life full of private jets,<br />
filled with fast and easy sex.</p>
<p>he&#8217;s shining bright,<br />
in the media light,<br />
married with children,<br />
ready to file the divorce.<br />
no problem to feed three families at once,<br />
easy for him to get back on the horse.</p>
<p>a life free of sin,<br />
going to church,<br />
wearing a cross on his arm,<br />
and around his neck.<br />
thanking the lord,<br />
that playing a sport,<br />
sweet and soft like the girlfriends peck,<br />
keeps him cozy and warm<br />
and delivers his fat paycheck.</p>
<p>building a franchise of his own breed,<br />
that&#8217;s why they call him,<br />
a professional athlete.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>we are all so overrated<br />
simple beings walkin earth.<br />
the bad things we do will ruin it all. destroy the world.<br />
now how pathetic can we be?</p>
<p>was rexs death his fault?<br />
he might have been the biggest badass hunter on earth.<br />
yet he&#8217;s dead.<br />
farting ruined his atmosphere?</p>
<p>or how else did those huge fellas<br />
cause their cosmic misfortune,<br />
walking through the world and one day<br />
bang. you have been extinct.<br />
come again in a few billion years. or maybe<br />
never.</p>
<p>time to change the stage,<br />
and let the humans play.<br />
talkin, prayin, beggin,<br />
to the lords to not make us disappear like all the others before us.<br />
the sissy&#8217;s of evolution, whinin and bitchin,<br />
havin to many minds to waste.</p>
<p>we are, simple, maybe even a bit retarded, standing and wading,<br />
having the power to fear imagination.<br />
bad things we create, stuff we should not make,<br />
and yet were are simple pawns in a game called<br />
life.</p>
<p>one small, for us big change,<br />
and it&#8217;s all about to turn,<br />
back from the green round globe<br />
to a scorching burning ball.<br />
just waiting to let our farting resources return.<br />
fossil energy problems solved, we simply need more dinosaurs<br />
to rot beneath our feet.</p>
<p>sure, we are too wasteful,<br />
and stupid when we act,<br />
yet doing good, can be the most evil thing<br />
we do.</p>
<p>living life, as simple as it sounds,<br />
is the only thing to do.<br />
yet we are not alone, million species extincted before us,<br />
let&#8217;s ask them how they failed.</p>
