The Silent Laughter






















When you're the last one to leave the party, and you feel a feeling that feels like you'll never forget, hold on.

When the world turns against you, and it's nothing but liars and thieves, hold on.

When the sky beats you down and there are no arms to lift you up, hold on.

When the phone doesn't ring and letters aren't written, hold on.

When you're alone in the crowd, hold on.

[Editor's note: Until next year. Thank you for reading.]

The Red Sky At Night






















Today, no planes flew into any buildings.

Today, there was no fire falling from the sky.

Today, there were no riots in the streets.

Today, the news was mostly just about famous people.


Today, no shaky footage was recorded of children running from a burning village.

Today, not one person stood in front of a tank.

Today, no one put flowers in the rifle barrels of guns.

Today, you will check your mail.


Today, no shots rang out over a black cavalcade.

Today, there was no negotiated revolution.

Today, no flags were burned.

Today, sport will be played and people will be upset over the outcome.


Tomorrow however, is a new day.

The Place Where Nothing Hurts






















There is no music, just the sound of the wind and the leaves it touches. But hopefully that'll be music enough, for you.

The Gang In Blue









The people who police the paradise you live in, make it hell.
