I wrote this long ago:

With the unquenchable thirst of an ocean
Death drinks of lifetimes in a flinch.
I am but a cups worth of this.
As meaningless as a glass of water.
But as essential as a drop of rain..

My favorite poem is by Anne Sexton it's callled Killing The Love. I'll link it https://allpoetry.com/Killing-The-Love

Is it just me or is this quote often attributed to someone else? Like Orwell or something?

Idk who said it first, quotes get passed on like that, just curious really

Lyrics:

Children are innocent, yeah
Teenagers f***ed up in the head
Adults are even more f***ed up
And elderlies are like children

Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do
Better than we've done

We make great pets
We make great pets
We make great pets
We make great pets

My friend says we're like the dinosaurs
Only we are doing ourselves in
Much faster than they ever did

We make great pets
We make great pets
We make great pets
We make great pets

“I know what I don’t know”

I got a txt from someone while I was tripping, I still think about it.

it was a typo, kinda deep tho.

Once, when I went to the pharmacy to get a prescription filled for some trip I was going on (maybe for malaria prevention, or high altitude sickness), I found a Chinese fortune slipped into the bottle saying " You will tread on the soil of many countries". Some anonymous pharmacist in the back room with a good sense of humor! I still have that little slip of paper

A bell is not a bell until you ring it.

A song is not a song until you sing it.

The love in your heart was not put there to stay.

Love is not love until you give it away.


It really shows.
