I Am The Sun

Freedom of speech

is a mere excuse to make a Hitler

sound like Jesus -

everything that in reality

would never be quite real.

 

No one is heard

If they say a word

It disappears within the fog

Along with despair

and little drops of rain 

Right from the eye -

it vanishes with care.

 

Set me free because free will is a lie

Pardon God, pardon me Holy Christ

But I want to be happy

and yet

I'm not.

 

Paint my nails black like a dead

and voluptuous flower

My eyes blink a couple of times

while I look at you

Cat's eyes, they say

They don't trust anyone -

Eyes of the girl afraid.

 

Dye my hair the most vibrant red

I am fire, I want to be the sun

You can look but you can't touch

You can love but you can't reach

It's just another morning star

that some hate

and some fear.

 

You get used to it

Like with the

moon

breeze

water

and fresh air.

 

Beauty for eternity

Sunrise burns your eyes

Eternally beautiful and unseen

Natural elegant death -

 

End of the day

Astonishing sunset

and then

the night eats me out,

Over and over again

I'll be waiting for my

Next decay.

To restrict freedom of speech in fear of another Hitler rising to power would also strip the voices of those who are the opposite. This is the price of freedom that each individual has to be wise enough to discern the good from the bad and chose wisely who to listen too and who to ignore. Every day the world tries to strip more freedoms away rather if it is religion who wants to force us to believe this or that, or force governments to in act laws to remove our choice to live as we want. It's funny but some of the most accepting and diverse people I know don't were their religion on their arm like a badge of power. Humble is the key word and not many people know humility especially the religious. Great write.

So descriptive. I love how the elements played a role in this one! Amazing.

I default to irony. Could you teach me how to improve then? :)

[Detective Watts]

The people who scream loudest about their free speach being stolen are, generally, the only people stealing anyones free speach.

EDIT: Yeah, I got it. Read half your stuff and just assumed you default to irony.

EDIT #2: And I get the "People are small and it's easy for everything you do to just get lost in the world" theme and yes, it's good and very poetic.

EDIT #3: Irony is fine. Dr Strangeglove was 100% irony and it's the greatest movie ever.
