MY GOD 2
It concerns the juxtaposition between science and religion with the emphasis on a purely Nature driven creator rather than a God-like all-knowing entity.

REPTILE
Death in an almost lifeless desert is not the end

In our rooms it sounded like...

STRANGE
The circle of life and death
STRANGE
Now strange as strange seems to fly
Living life may be defined as just a lie
Depressed in a deep dungeon sorrow
Waiting for the faded light of tomorrow
Long dark cold days in your future past

DAWN TRAVEL
The everyday commute to work, and the seeming dreariness, endlessness, and pointlessness of it all!
DAWN TRAVEL
early dawn drawn and dragged sitting wilting and wearied in the station watching all the gaggling gabbling gargoyle commotion groaning and moaning into daytime lifetime.

The men of today
real experience
The Men of Today
The men who grow their beards upside down
The men who watch the paint dry in their spare time
The men who hatch their egos whilst on gardening leave
The men who were born...
