What I want and what I have,
both mock themselves before me.
Choose the truth or take a lie,
forging or conforming.
Strike the air and grasp the life,
or wait in halls of stone.
whisk away the bitter cries,
and mend your broken bones.
As light appears, don't take a bow,
don't even think its fair.
but walk a mile, breathing slow,
I'll try and meet you there.
Bright eyed kid: "Wow Typo Man, you're the best!"
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"

    These are all old mind you...


    Speck of the sky falls into a circle of white,
    trace the cries of today and laugh at the result.
    Away lies fear and anguish follows soon after,
    and innocence is a coward only to those who don't know.
    Droplets of simplicity sparkle in the sun,
    the advanced signs of weariness heed the way,
    risen from the ashes are remnants of synergy,
    and the eagle of time has flown its last dance.


    Innocence turns to consequence,
    begging lasts no more,
    and all that ever was to me,
    is nothing anymore.
    In fabricated truths of life,
    and decadence unmasked,
    there stands before me doors to choose
    unlocked, its still a task.
    Though bitterness has fallen,
    given way to thought and chance
    I raise my fist,
    I shake it loud,
    for this is my finest hour.


    I used to have one (still do?) on the "Poetry & Prose" section of Synergy from my old email address, slingfrog@aol.com

    I agree. Good work Binfrog.

    how old were you when these were written? they're quite good!
    There have been shows where maybe the whole first half of the show my eyes have been closed. and then you'll look out in the crowd and there'll be somebody totally lost in their head, in exactly the same place you're in. That, to me, is the essence of music
