Creating the Opportunity for Chances...
By Ron Emolo

The world is getting too guttural and too ghetto-eral.
Too many overachieving-underachievers.
Will you allow us to make our breaks?!

Too many numbers and letters look too alike.

Are we gonna fight world war 3 in order to prevent world war 3?!

We saved the universe.
I just hope we did the right thing?

If you create more swords, create even more pens...

Stringy Crimson Cotton
By Paul Ceriani

Running my hands through a sunset

A milestone of miracles only a dream away

Bordering on Darkness, light still trying to stay alive

Stringy crimson cotton touching the fallen sun.

And I stood there alone, with her on my mind dreaming

of flying with her hand in hand

 

The dark seems imminent as the sun disappears.

I think of her face as we lay side by side

Eyes like the sun, hair like cotton, and a face as beautiful

as life itself

Feeling so small, watching the mighty sun fall away

I wait for the moon to take it's place

She enters my soul and waits with me

And the cotton darkens as the sky starts to sparkle

I think of her smile and I smile myself.

Prologue (from a theatrical production) by C.A. Conforti

It is not necessary for us to understand where we came from, in order to live a good life once we exist. It is not for us to impose our opinion of how and why we exist, but to share our thoughts and remain open-minded. No man can truly define anything. And yet it is our nature to try to do just that.
