High above, in the tallest building

They plotted their evil victories

Who next, would be theirs to claim?

By the gods and goddesses of history

Greed and lust, ambition and death

Each one of them, human proprieties

Playing, with the minds of the weak

Toying, with their human dubieties

No care did they show for any being

They, were the grandest of them all

Crazed in their power, never seeing

How quickly their rise was sure to fall

 

May Writing Prompts – The Sugar Frosted Nutsack – Day 29/31 – This was the only title Michelle left as is.  You might want to check out the book by Mark Leyner.

As I grow older, I find silence is my best friend

It’s quiet, like the flowers I pick, along my walk

It’s a joy I find rewarding, a spark, a godsend

My peace of mind, when I do not wish to talk

Life moves by so fast

We quickly lose perspective

Veering from our lane

Our lives

Constant battles

In states of confusion

Much ado about everything

For naught

Yes, I am common, and blend in with the crowd

Though at times, I can really dominate the scene

Sometimes I am quiet, and sometimes I am loud

But most times, I am somewhere, in between
