The Curse
--By the Cynic (aka Andrew Miller)--
a poem composed at 3AM the night before a big final
I was once thinking
(Back when I got sleep)
Of my days and high school
and it did cause me to weep.
Ahh, those days of youth
When I was never tired.
Now it seems I'm always busy
Within this personal hell I'm mired.
Ethics and Physics
Bible and Sociology,
There are so many classes
Oh poor poor me.
If God is with me,
I might get an "A"
If not, to avoid an "F"
I'm going to really have to pay (money, that is, like
movie stars).
My friends are cranky
and the professors downright mean,
is it because of a lack of sleep?
Or an overdose of caffine?
I'm so tired. . .
I'm sick of all my thoughttage.
I wanna pack up
and move out to the coffee cottage.
So here it sits,
Like the memory of vinyl.
What must I do
To pass my final?
Gardening
In the garden of our lives
We reap from our seeds.
We show off the flowers
but hide the weeds.
We reap what we sow
and we sow what we reap.
But if our weeds were seen
Would it make people weep?
We act and talk sinfully.
Like we live in a sewer.
But my question is:
Are we flower or manure?
