Run, Rat, Run (Second Version)

Run, rat, run! Run as fast as you can. You must run to earn your bread! If you stop running, You will earn nothing And you won’t be able to get fed. Run, rat, run! Run early in the morning Or run late into the night. Either wake up before Mr. Sun Or wake up with the Man in the Moon For you cannot afford respite. Run, rat, run! You’re the best runner we have! The most successful racer by far! Keep running at this pace And you just might win the race! Thank you for giving us all that you are. Run, rat, run! What’s this? You want extra crumbs? Proposturous! Utterly ridiculous! You’re not even that speedy And you’re already being greedy. You cannot possibly be serious. Run, rat, run! Don’t slow down now Though you puff and you pant for air. If you keep running You will stop foolishly thinking That this life isn’t right or fair. Run rat run! Don’t stop now! You must run all day, all night long! If you really hope to thrive And you really want to survive  You must continue to run strong!...

Blind Flower

Every whispered rumor,

Every little lie,

Is sure to catch up to you.

You cannot run or hide.


It starts out very small,

Seemingly insignificant,

But it grows and it grows

Until the whole world notices. Magnificent.


That little seed you planted,

The one you thought was no big deal,

Becomes a dodder plant that blankets you...

Your fate is sealed.


The dodder drains you, steals your sunlight,

Leaving you weak and in the dark,

A darkness that reflects

The darkness in your heart.


You may cry for help,

But your pleas fall on deaf ears.

The same people who could've been your saviors

Are the ones you gossiped about for years.


The parasite completely suffocates you, 

And what do you become?

A blind, shriveled flower, all alone,

No longer able to greet the sun.
