Real life BY JAMES A GALGANO
*THE WORLD CRASHED THROUGH MY WINDOW THE OTHER DAY
*LIKE A BRICK WRAPPED TIGHTLY
*IN THE MILLENIUM OLD LAUNDRY OF MY SPECIES
*FILLED WITH THE EXCREMENT
*OF THEIR BANKRUPT PHILOSOPHIESÍ
*RATIONALE FOR DEVASTATING THE PLANET
*OF ITS LOWER FOOD CHAIN EXISTENCE
*EVEN ITS OWN KIND WHO THREATEN THEIR GOAL
*OF DEVELOPING AND/OR PLUNDERING NATIONS
*FOR THE WEALTH AND NOT THE GOOD
*IF ANY IT MIGHT BRING
*MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN
*SHOWED ITS UGLY FACE TO ME
*LIKE A STRIPTEASE HOPING TO DISGUST
*RATHER THAN ALLURE
*UNDISTURBED BY MY PROTESTATIONS
*WHICH WERE SEEN AS ONLY AS A CHALLENGE OR INVITATION TO IMPROVE
*THE DEVIOUSNESS AND EFFECTIVENESS
*OF ITS TORTUOUS METHODS
*ALL IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY,
* DEFENDING THE HOMELAND OR ITS RELIGION
*MADE BY MAN IN THE DISTORTED IMAGE
* OF IMAGINARY DEITIES
*WHO IF TRULY EXISTED WOULD HAVE KILLED THEMSELVES
* OR LEFT LONG AGO IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT,
*HOPING NONE WOULD NOTICE THEIR IMPERFECTIONS
*WHICH NOW WREAK HAVOC ON US ALL IN THEIR NAME
*A CHILD WALKED INTO MY CLASSROOM
*CRYING YESTERDAY
*HER BROTHER HAD BEEN KILLED BY A STRAY BULLET MEANT FOR ANOTHER
*IT PASSED THROUGH HIS HEART
*AND INTO THE BELLY OF A PREGNANT MOTHER
*LEAVING ONE FOR DEAD AND TWO OTHERS
*AT THE MERCY OF UNINSURED HEALTHCARE
*HOW CAN YOU COMFORT THIS SORROW
*HOW CAN YOU DERAIL THESE HORRORS
*AND THEIR INCLEMENT DESPAIR
*MY EMBRACE WAS ONLY TEMPORARY COMFORT
*FOR THIS RANDOM LOSS OF INNOCENCE
*WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THOSE TEARS TURN TO HATRED
*AND STATISTICAL REVENGE ADDING TO THE SORROW
*AS THE DOMINOE FALLS TOWARD ANOTHER TOMORROW WITH AN EVER RIPPLING *EXPANSION OF WOE
*THIS IS THE REALITY WE DON'T SEE
*ON THE COMMERCIAL NEWS
*IN BETWEEN THE PRODUCTS THEY MAKE US CRAVE
*FOR THEIR EXPANDING PROFIT MARGINS
*THESE ARE THE DARKER ANGELS
*WHO NOW ROAM FREELY ACROSS OUR PLANET
*WITH THE BLESSING
*OF QUESTIONABLY CHOSEN LEADERS CONSENT
*WHILE WE SIT COMPLACENTLY
*IN OUR LIVING ROOMS DYING
*FROM THE CHEMICALS WE INGEST
*WHILE TRANSFIXED ON PLASMA SCREENS
*SURFING THE WEBS WE NOW FIND OURSELVES WITHIN
*WHILE A NEWLY EVOLVED SPIDER DESCENDS SLOWLY
* GRINNING IRONYÍS SARCASTIC REFRAIN
*JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DYING SPECIES
*SELF-DESTRUCTING SLOWLY DOWN THE PROVERBIAL FOOD CHAIN

US Tour w/ Between The Buried And Me, Cynic & Devin Townsend! Jan 18th @ Slims in San Francisco! Be there! Pre-sale tickets are also now on sale, if you plan on coming I highly suggest getting them now! Available at ticketmaster. Links on our page!

Hey, I recorded a new song yesterday, it's called Masquerade--based on the ballroom scene of Romeo and Juliet. Just wanted to stop by and give you the free download if you'd like it and haven't picked it up yet:
I hope you enjoy it; if you do, please pass it on to your friends and spread the love :)
Oh that was sooo beautiful! Your poems are amazing! Like I said...Shakespearan! Loved every single one of it! Your poems are so captivating! Hmmmmmm....you sure know how to make a girl feel special! Thanks again...Have a good nite...
Hi, the reverbnation tools are cool, by hitting play you hear the songs right away and with share you can place them on any kind of blog or platform, I like that, it is a big support for musicians, if you are with facebook then let's become friends there, it is much easier to communicate, have a great day.
So I created a page on hubpage.com/profile/thanglynn07. I really think you should create one and share your beautiful poems with other poets and writers. I will definitely be your #1 fan!
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
We are ALL in this Together ~ United as One with Love vibrations ~
