Up beyond the limit
Of the broken atmosphere
Deep dark space. Nothing. Everything.

[center]The search for ultimate meaning.

You will never be happy forever.
Simply give in and become happy now.
If you give up your worldly possessions,
will it lead you to understand tao?[/center]

Scarlet Stars

Earth fires grow dimmer
They seem to disappear
This is only the fact
That the horizion approaches
Or is it that darkness trails
The shuttle engines
And the foot steps of my path
Have i gone so far
Am i so far gone

To rephrase is to rengage
The fact that i cannot accept
The future and its forth comings
And the short comings of my
Rather futile and fruitless efforts
To stop the future and more so
The path of the earths ever change

To change is to forget
To forget is to abandon
In this essance we have
For all purposes unseen
Abandoned our for-fathers
As they could only hope and dream
To look foward and see us
The people who would soon be

To me the shadows arent
Exactly where they should be
I am not where i should be
We are not where we should be
But this is irrelivant to my point

My point as it stands
In alll theorys
Or rather demands
Is simply this:

To forget is to abandon
And if that is true
We have abandoned truth
What was right before
Is no longer right now
And right now is diffrent
From way back when

I fear that this world
Will never be the same again....

Future.




My future is bleak,
I see it now,
it makes me frown.


I die tomorrow,
filled with sorrow,
cuz i knew i would die that day..


I was on a plane,
and soon I knew,
that i was dead.


The plane crashed,
I remembered my past...

It was a snowy day,
the day was gay,
and I was abroad.

Fortune tellers filled the street,
keeping things nice and neat..


I had the money,
so I said "Hey Honey"
tell me my fortune today..

What she said was bleak,
and as I watched her speak,
my life seemed small and meek.

I'm dead right now.
I'm with the devil,
who knows my darkest fears.

He shows me my wrongs,
and burns me with tongs,
as I sing this song.


END END END END END END END

WOW LMAO OMFG i dont like that lol... I was so bored I make it up lol. if I win ill like go into a coma lol

Yourself looking into the Feature

No one can last for ever
some people think alike
others think for might, power

wrong decisions can be made through life
right ones can too
decisions can reflect on your life depending good or bad...

death concerns those who fear it
those who dont fear death live a better life
the feature is something that cannot be seen

live your life like there death doesnt exist
dont let death eat at life
you are immortal inside
be yourself, yourself life will last forever...

Future revealed in my dreams
Like vivid living Hell.
War will replace the Bubonic
And drops of blood will rain.

Creations of Man
Will phase into another.
Inspirations to create
Will carry a body count.

Perhaps come 2024,
The year of my dream,
Will devistation of Man
Again be the Present.

ROFL DAMN YOU BILAL, i saw you as the last reply, thinking there's a good poem to read... BOY WAS I FOOLED O_O (lol)

I dont think as many people want to post because of the judging system... had I minerals (which I gambled all 2k or so away), I'd do my own system of judgement...

[CENTER]Moving Along

I got alot of work to do
But ill wait till it all is through
So I dont got to come back to you

Moving along brushing my trail as I go
I could tell you who I am but who the hell are you to know
Dont try to find me its a waste of time
Cuz I pick up your trail and am gone on a dime

Maybe I didnt know how to tell you it was the end
I practed on myself but that was just pretend
This is where our roads start to bend[/CENTER]

Maybe the reason people dont join this is because Rednara never posts the winner on time

Lol you just read my post... :\ Wow and now you blame it on me. I dont post the winners on time lol... Look at how many people entered. And you didnt in time. Yes I know Im way over the date, but you wearnt in time either.

I donno if this is done, but its more like SEN Poetry contest itself is over, lol a weekly contest in SEN is impossible. Peoples interest is just totally different and we dont have enough member.
