I see the cat hides that grin of his.

The babies all gamble, the monie is on the table,

Which little rabbit wins?



Tell me, sweety, are you a part of this bed time tale?

Let me put you to sleep too...

This is what crack does to you.

It'll write all your little ministrel friends off the face of this planet...

Into the inky suffocating space of thier worst dreams,

It's real, no doubt, as real as it seems.. when you're tearing out of your mind,

Bursting at the seems.

To much to play with, here, but you don't seem to mind the danger.

Just thought I should warn, your sanity is on the line

On the edge.. of a cliff, the rocks are below, sure they'll catch you

Though what's left won't be much to keep... just a heep of nothing.

You know who did this, it was you. You put yourself through all this suffering.

I'll be at the wedding tommorow,

I wouldn't miss your marriage to the loss of your health.

I'll be that voice you never listened to.

If it's something from me... then it's obviously not worth respecting...

Because I guess that I was never valueble in that way to you.

But this advice was only meant for you to listen to.

Open your eyes to your eyes to your inside mind.

you dont know how you changed my life...

I just dont want to see you go blind...

Please save your life before I take mine

Wow PHIL - sounds like a letter from the hater to the hated --- Interesting really, as it seems that the tables have turned in some sort of sordid way - Not really sure if sordid is the right word - but the narator of your poem seems to think sordid is correct...

Interesting write - I wonder though - what prompted it?

At anyrate - thanx for the sharing.

Blood...this is an upheaval of the spirit, to be sure...reminds me of another one you did - but this one seems to be directed at the female gender? ...curious...Was it someone specific or are you generalizing?

Hey to both of you.. thankers for stopping by on this one.

to clarify the direction of this poem,

this was written in a sarcastic, bitter manner, because the topic of sanity and health are to be taken seriously.. I was merely expressing the lack of seriousness that the person this is wrote to, took in regards to his life. Yes, it is written for a close male friend of mine. The sweety part's, where written sarcastically... because he seems to think that all of his friend's are supposed to mother him when he fuck's up. He's getting rather up there in age, but he still consider's life as one big party.. in other words he lives for the weekend, so to speak. In this poem, I'm trying to get him to realize that he has made a difference in his friend's life, and we all hate to see him waiste his life away. I wrote this personaaly because He has given me a new appreciation for alot of things in this life, and i just wanted him to know that through these words... after awhile of watching him throw his life down the drain, I began growing bitter and closed off and I begun to lose alot of the new appreciation for life that he gave me.. simply by watching him fuck his life over.

so this is really a simple ode to what he would lose if he continued to go down the road he's going, he will lose all respect for his great love for music and art... and all he'll be remembered by would be how he threw it all away.

Ms. J. This is definitely a classic! Put this up there in the famous quotes! I love it!!! Only YOU would think of this!! haha! I'm definitely getting on that train, though I'd have to jump off to help out the occasional person by the side of the road...and my kids probably...and the people who always call me to fix their computers...and...dangit...would I even make it on the party train?
