The Teams

by Henry Lawson

A cloud of dust on the long white road,
And the teams go creeping on
Inch by inch with the weary load;
And by the power of the green-hide goad
The distant goal is won.

With eyes half-shut to the blinding dust,
And necks to the yokes bent low,
The beasts are pulling as bullocks must;
And the shining tires might almost rust

Hymn To Pan

by Aleister Crowley

Thrill with lissome lust of the light,
O man ! My man !
Come careering out of the night
Of Pan ! Io Pan .
Io Pan ! Io Pan ! Come over the sea
From Sicily and from Arcady !
Roaming as Bacchus, with fauns and pards
And nymphs and styrs for thy guards,
On a milk-white ass, come over the sea
To me, to me,

Rags, This Is A Letter To You

by Charles Manson

It is my hope and dream
To hook up through the satellites
With everyone that's in the Family
Red and Blue, Green, Gold and Yellow
All the girls that are in jail with me
That gave their lives, took their lives
Gave their lives again

This is on the other side of the noose
That hangs in the sky

Count-Time

by Jimmy Santiago Baca

Everybody to sleep the guard symbolizes
on his late night tour of the tombs.
When he leaves, after counting still bodies
wrapped in white sheets, when he goes,

the bodies slowly move, in solitary ritual,
counting lost days, mounting memories,
numbering like sand grains
the winds drag over high mountains
to their lonely deaths; like elephants

The Creation

by James Weldon Johnson

And God stepped out on space,
And he looked around and said:
I'm lonely--
I'll make me a world.

And far as the eye of God could see
Darkness covered everything,
Blacker than a hundred midnights
Down in a cypress swamp.

Another day passes by

by Mayank Nirala

Still waiting
It feels forever, Since you crossed by me;

My heart longs, to be altered in a way
You made me skip a beat;

I sit aside, eyes waiting
but i procure none i crave;

Each second feels protracted

Stranger

by Samel Yugalin Emrys

Who is he, sitting alone and lost in thought,
Wandering all around, with no one in sight,
No shelter, no food, yet he stands tall,
Wearing clothes I've never seen before.

Every afternoon, I see him searching for food,
I wonder, was he born into this life,
Or was he made to be this way?
But surely, he must have been well before.

Isolation in a crowd

by Corben Bruce

Isolation in a crowd

We laugh, we smile, we joke
We weep and hug and cry
Jokes and joy,laughter and love
And still alone I feel all night

I know that together we all are
But still as one I feel at heart
Unsure of myself, unsure of my place

Whisperer of Love

by Samel Yugalin Emrys

Don’t know about your smile,
but it is draining me to death like raining with lightning.
First, you spoke; it broke my heart,
never had a feeling of walking on a ceiling.
Will make brittle clouds rain, even if you have a little pain,
Will leave everything to make you believe, My Love.
I wanna share my life; will you be my wife?
May I be too strong to be wrong, but
don’t go away, making my heart sway to death,
rest the love I had, forever in my tomb.
