Save Net Neutrality
There is a great web
The greatest of them all
Where every spider is welcome
Both big and small
It spans the whole world
and encompasses all
It beckons with freedom
With nary a wall,
It was spun for everyone
by Tim Berners-Lee
So all may enjoy and thrive
and simply be free
And so we did, for a while
for the most quite peacefully
Until the biggest spiders descended
The ISP,
They were hungry and greedy
demanding more and more
Dictating where the smaller spiders
may be granted to explore
For net neutrality was gone
the great equalizer no more
Democracy had failed
lost it's esprit de corps,
But there's always a chance
To fight the good fight

NaPoWriMo 2017 Day 21 - Betrayal
Betrayal,
A shock to the system.
Like ice through the heart,
Fire burns through my mind,
Angry, So angry.
So painful,
So sudden,
So wrong,
All wrong.
Why?
How did this happen?
How could you?
How dare you.
Pretending to be so pious.
So right,
So innocent.
You're not innocent,
Not right,
Not anything.
Not anymore.
Trust, gone.
Love, gone.
All, gone.
Are you happy now?
Now that you're free,
Now that I'm not,
Now that we're broken.
What did you think would happen?
You knew the consequences,
You did it anyway,
Broken trust can rarely be fixed.
Go,
Be free,
Free of my love.
Free of my trust.
Free of my mind.
You're nothing to me.
I won't hate you,

NaPoWriMo 2017 day 4
There once was a pear from Salamanca,
Who longed to be the star of Casablanca,
Alas he was unable,
For he was but a fable,
And so he fled to the land of Sri Lanka.

Short story for SpineBreakers
I draw the veil down low over my eyes, gasping as I run under the cover of night. Nothing matters. Not any more, except the small bundle of warmth in my arms. I have vowed to protect the child, the one who will bring salvation to my kind.
I pity her. It was futile to attempt to salvage such an ancient and corrupt race. This is why I run, blood seeping from my thigh, where an arrow barely missed its mark. I've not long for this world, but my last act will be just and honourable. I must lift the burden from her tiny shoulders and set her free.
She will live and we will die, but the balance of nature shall now maintain its equilibriu

Do you ever look back at a piece of work you did or an old post and just think, "Damn I'm embarrassing". That's me, when ever I look back on ANY of my past works/actions/everything.
*sigh*
I am a pack rat, I like to collect memories and hold on to the past and thus it is inevitable that I often stumble across one of my long forgotten collection and waste hours reminiscing. So I found some of my old poems and though they make me cringe I'd like to know what others think of them. So if anyone is wondering why on earth there are incoherent rambling and senseless sketches filling my gallery that’s why.
