Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pain and it's joys

Pain, it hurts us most of all,
but without it we would fall
into a pit of endless fear,
without that which we hold so dear.

So, come now you weary fool,
who says that pain is a useless tool
and I will show you the folly of joy,
and free your mind of it's loathsome ploy.

Joy tells you everything will be alright,
but then you two get in a fight,
and they take away their wondrous bliss,
and fill your heart with emptiness.

You cry and sob with much remorse,
for you are under their evil curse.
No matter how much you beg or how much you plea,
joy will never return to thee.

And so now you see how joy traps all,
and plunges them into a desperate fall,
until they discover the pleasure of pain,
and how it never leaves you again.

Pain, oh that emotional dive,
that reminds us once again we are alive.
That reminds once again...we. are. alive.

commentary on recent extremes in weather

Captain Planet, he was a hero
He fought the bad guys and stopped pollution
But now he shows he’s more like Nero
For he has found the ultimate solution

He sees the problem plaguing his world
To save it all his fist has unfurled
And come against man that wicked creature
Who takes what she wants and subdues all to her

His anger aroused at the pain man inflicted
He summons the forces of nature to strike
At the heart of man, the deprived social call
To kill every man, woman, and child alike

He attacks the homes of all he depicted
To be the cause of natures strife
He destroys all man and causes the fall
Of humankind and snuffs out their life
