Run Away

I want to run away, run from all that i know.
I want to find a place, crawl in there and hide
While the world falls apart, run away and be myself
No worries, no cares

And I feel so alone, its like I'm hiding the pain, while growing more scars
Can you feel the war that was my life?
Can you walk a mile in my place without breaking a sweat?

Could I run so far away that no one hears me
Escape from myself for just a while longer

Tear me apart, rip me to shreds
This life hasn't been the best

And if I left you all alone
Would you still remember
All the times we laughed?
All the times we cried?

Can you run away from all that you know?
Could you hide under the tree?
Or go in the fort like back in yesteryear?

Hide the shame, hide the pain
Hide the gleam, in your eyes

Hide the pain that i see in your eyes
There is no more shame here,
Only regret, remorse for the time that we lost

And I hear your funeral pyre is going
Where you planning on leaving?
Or just a motto,
A memoir from a time long ago?

The one that showed someone was there
Someone that helped,
Someone to lean on
But, alas to no avail... nothing to do

Sit and relax...
Take up a chair
I shall tell you the motto
From a time that was long ago
It gave hope to the hopeless
And the motto said:

Amidst the blue skies
A link from past to future
The sheltering wings, of the protector

It used to give us hope
Made us realize that there was more to this life
Gave us hope that we would get out of this

But alas, we return
Back underground
to rest for another thousand years

Untill the ground quakes
and we are released
Released from our pain...
Untill then,
We shall suffer here in out tombs
for a thousand years more

Death Came Swiftly Knocking

Here is a preview of a novel that is in the works, from your friendly twisted soul, the demon lion
Let me know if it is worth continuing, or if I should stop writing, or where it could use improvements.

A word of caution, this preview contains mild language.



1 violent attack

I look around; I've been walking this deserted road for miles. This is an unusual occurrence. Usually when I walk, this road is always full of cars going past, going god knows where. Ah, but it is such a peaceful night, perhaps being alone isn't such a bad thing, after all, we all need to be alone at times, am I right?

And then I see it, the glint of headlights in the distance, urgh, this means I'll have to get over to the side of the road, dammit. Well would they survive if I stayed in the road? I wonder to myself as I clutch my scythe and hold on to it for dear life. Damn they're quick, they're about 100 feet away now. Guess it's all or nothing.

I hold my ground and as the gleam of headlights approaches, my eyes light up and I jump on top of the van, holding tight I make my way to the front, I glance into the windshield and I see a whole family in there. Then they notice me, as their faces light up with fright I see the driver start to veer of the road. Ah well, this one was easy enough…

2 Its in the news

“Hey brad, did you see the paper?” that's Jeff, my best friend since we were kids.

“No, I'm afraid I haven't.”

“Well it says a family was on their way home after a long vacation, and some creature jumped on top of their car and scared the bejesus outta the driver, he says it was some kind of demon.”

“Did they all get out ok?”

“It says here that they were all shook up and are spending a good amount of time healing in the hospital.”

“Where did this happen?”

“Just outside of town on old route 34.”

“Sounds like we have some kind of a psycho on the loose.”

“Seems true.”

“Do the police have any leads on who the psycho could be?”

“It doesn't say.”

“Well, I'm gonna go grab some lunch, you wanna come?”

“Na, I have some shit I gotta finish here first.”

“All right, well I'm not gonna take any calls while I'm out.”

“All right, I'll let your secretary know.”

Now this was very unusual, I wondered to myself as I headed to my car. that's five people claiming to have seen the same thing this month, and it was only the 7th of October. This town was supposed to be a secure town after the outbreak of the war, what with all the security checkpoints set up around our town. Such a curious thing war is even with all the turmoil going on down south people still have time to go on vacation.

3 Explanation of the countries situation

Fort Granite had become a safe haven for those who lived north of Chicago, when the war started, people were leaving the big cities by the train load. Damn anarchists hope they're satisfied now that they have one of the greatest countries thrown into chaos. The war is being fed by those who have what they call a violence fetish, not that having a fetish is wrong, but still.

The war started as a simple dispute between the democrats and the aurocrats who called themselves “Liberators for the people's republic” what a crock of shit that was. It first started down in Florida, when a government official started a brawl with a member of the aurocrat party. The economy was on the brink of collapse anyway, what with gas prices reaching an all time high of $20 a gallon.

The aurocrats had a simple idea, show the auto makers how to make alternative fueled vehicles, that emit no harmful pollutants. A few scientists and researchers got together and found what they called a miracle fuel, they found out how to change fossil fueled engines into vehicles powered only on powdered granite, their first prototype was a success but then they started having trouble with the way the engine converted it into usable energy, which started a fight between the democrats and aurocrats, which eventually led to this miserable war.

All it took was for one loose tempered John Hockley (“vote for me and I'll show you a future without war.” was his campaign slogan) And it was because of him we were in this war. Well that is just my opinion, I'm not much for politics, in fact the last time I voted was back in the year 2000, a fresh millennium, and a fresh president, sure enough I voted for bush, lil' did I know he would lead us into a war.

Anyway lets get back to the present, it is the year, 2021 and the country is at war. Some have called it the second civil war, blasphemy is what I call it. The government, in my opinion, was just looking for a reason to go to war since the end of desert storm II. Ah well who cares about this cruddy war anyway?

Something to thing about

Funny how something as simple as a song can determine the mood that you are in for the rest of the day. To start with, if you listen to a depressing song, the rest of the day you will feel depressed, if you listen to a happy song, you will be in an up-beat mood for the rest of the day, and if you listen to an angry song... well we have all been there, I am sure of that.

Just thought that I would bring this up for todays update. It is something to think about for the rest of the week tho, something as simple as a song. Different songs can inspire one to be productive, or lazy. Some songs inspire hope, others inspire hate and depression. Something to think about...

Well here is yet another poem that has been in the works... let me know what you guys think, comments are welcome, but lets keep them appropriate, shall we? Kids read this blog... simply saying that rude comments will be removed.

It was something small
It stayed in the back of his head
It crawled under his nails
It poisoned his mind
It made him fall behind

Forced him to crave hate,
For hate pulled him out pain
And love dragged him in

That small item eventually led to his demise
Forced him into a dark depression
The best days of his life were behind him

All he craved was for someone to carry him to heavens arms
But the angel never came
So, tired of waiting he runs
to the top of the mountain, looks down and sees the earth below
He looks up and sees heaven above

With a running start,
takes a leap... but misses
So he falls now
Happy that the pain will no longer come
Pleased that he will finally have peace

As he nears the bottom,
He hits the ground
Not as a broken man
But as a man who had found peace

And he walks into the gates,
Only to be met with disappointment
For it isn't his time to go

He falls again, but this time towards earth
He reunites with his body
And cries out in pain
For now he will take the time to heal
To cover old scars
And push out the venom

Hollywood

So.. here's what I have been pondering over for the last week... In my opinion it seems like Hollywood is running out of ideas for movies... it just seems that way, because they have created every movie imaginable, they have made just about every superhero movie, just about every alien visit imaginable, pretty much every horror movie out there, and it just seems that Hollywood is running on empty.

I might be wrong about this, but you never know... it seems like every "new" horror movie has the same plot, and tons of gore, with little to no story line behind it.  They are also running out of ideas for christmas movies as well, as they seem to be remaking the same movies, A christmas story has been remade so many times, it was even made into a romance movie, called: "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past." Maybe Hollywood needs some fresh writers who have fresh ideas. Suspense, thrillers, comedy's, and action flicks are also running on empty.

On the other hand, they have been working on some very good and fairly interesting TV shows, which are starting to be on the rise, plenty of ideas for them to work with, and with the conclusion of the much anticipated "CSI Trilogy" it brought CSI to the top of the ratings. There are quite a good amount of fairly interesting TV shows that are always brimming with ideas. Take the "new" series "V" this is promising to be an interesting series, with the premier of Their pilot show, it made being visited by aliens that much more interesting. The plot line of the series was revealed early on in the show... and by the end had me begging for more.  To add another note, NCIS is promising to keep getting better, with their new addition to the series, NCIS, LA... it is showing much more promise of being that much more interesting.  A few other TV shows that I feel the need to bring to attention are the new hit show "The Mentalist" and another brand new show, "Blue Collar" they both are showing plenty of promise, and whether these shows will be around in another 5 years is yet to be seen.

In hindsight, maybe we will see the fall of Hollywood, but we will never know, unless they get some fresher writers, we might just see the end of Hollywood in the near future... But that is only my opinion...

So, I daresay in conclusion: While Hollywood movies are on the decline, Hollywood TV shows are on the rise.

Well, I hope that you enjoyed this update, feel free to stay tuned for more updates in the future, including a few new reviews on some of the new movies that are yet to be released.
Until the next update:
Peace.

There is nothing left

As I sit here
I am suffocating
The stench of yesterday breaks me
It leaves me feeling hopeless
I watch as everyone else passes me by
To lead their happy lives
As I am condemned to lie here
And suffer
So I break
But do not bow
There is nothing left of me
Except for a hopeless shell of a man
Broken by the burden of society
No one knows what it is like
To lay your head down every night
A broken soul
To be nothing but a sorry excuse of a man

I crawl forward
Broken on the floor
Watching my shadow laugh
And I pour my soul out into the night
Helpless as the dark ferries my soul away
But there is nothing left

A hopeless shell
A wounded soul
A broken man

Death never comes for those who do not wish to suffer
But I have nothing left to give
I have found the perfect end
And I will stay here, alone until the dawn takes me
Under the ground
So I shall not suffer anymore
