Free Fall

I don't remember the last time I wrote. I don't remember the last time I needed to so bad. This house feels empty. I could literally feel the connection between us disappear as you walked out the door. You know how you can feel the person you love, even when they're far away? They're still with you. It's gone. Like all the wind comes out of you at once and you just feel everything you had slip away. Like you can't breathe and you don't remember how to rewind time or how it all came to this. And you just want to shut your eyes so it all disappears. Maybe you can wake up and it'll all be a dream. A really bad nightmare. But days go on. And the minutes seem like hours. And you just can't figure out how to turn off and go to sleep. It's that nauseous feeling of free fall. 

The Problem

Criminals.

Making money off education is a crime. The education system is a mindless factory. Our defense expenses are a crime. Our government is criminal and irresponsible. Interest is an abomination. Health insurance rapes it's customers and corrupts health care. Our minimum wage and debt reinforce slavery. Taxes and tolls towards empirical abominations overseas. And at home. Twenty five cents in sales tax from this coffee went where? Who's in jail? And what's this about marijuana curing epilepsy and cancer, while pills kill us? And what about addiction, depression, and anxiety? What about complacency? And humans on auto-pilot drifting through their lives? The ice caps are melting. The storms are getting stronger. Does that make you feel anything? 

Leaves

Sometimes I get so caught up in the dark I can't even see the light. But then I remember looking at you and just being stuck on how beautiful it was. It glows when I see it like that. It also reminds me how you wrap up around me. I get it then. I think about all the seasons now that I'm back, incase you can't remember the constant flux. Well I'll remind you. Nothing will stay the same, and isn't that funny? The leaves are floating as I drive through their atmosphere and I remember that it can all be beautiful.
