more poems and one of the most awesome songs ever written by one of the greatest bands ever....
i wrote two more poems i'd like to share with you guys...hope you like 'em...i like the second one better...here they are...

"Faith"

I can feel my faith
In God
In life
In love
In happiness
It's slipping away
Going to a place I can never find it

and

"Understanding"

I must remain strong
For those who depend on me
And who care for me
I will cling to my broken heart
Until the day I die
And when judgement day comes,
I will ask God...why?

Understanding
That's all I want
To know why
Why did this happen?
I don't understand and probably never will
Because there is no God
Or if there is, he just doesn't care

i've also had this song stuck in my head all day...korn remade it (did an awesome job too....i think it was korn anyway)...but they play it way too much on the radio lately...ah well; without further ado, here it is...

"Another Brick in the Wall - parts 1-3"
and
"Outside the Wall"

Daddy's gone across the ocean,
Leaving just a memory,
A snapshot in the family album.
Daddy, what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, whatcha leave behind for me?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall.
All in all it was just the bricks in the wall.

We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher, leave those kids alone.
Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teachers, leave those kids alone.
Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

I don't need no walls around me.
And I don't need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don't think I need any thing at all.
No. Don't think I need anything at all.
All in all it was all just the bricks in the wall.
All in all it was all just the bricks in the wall.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really know you,
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand,
Some gather together in bands,
The bleeding hearts and artists,
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all,
Some stagger and fall.
After all it's not easy,
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall

-Pink Floyd

i think that song pretty much sums up existance for me...none of us are really all that special on our own, but together, we're part of a bigger whole...we need each other to be worth anything...i mean, sure each of us is unique and special in our own individual ways, but we need to be together...held together by love and friendship to ever really amount to anything...a brick wall is a pretty good analogy of human beings i think...love and friendship are like the mortar that holds us together...by ourselves we're just a weak little rock, but when we're held together, we form something much stronger than any individual can ever hope to become. ok, i'm gonna let you guys ponder this on your own before my over-analytical brain ruins any deepness that may be left in this analogy. good night all.
