Erase the Scars (Joseph Michael Benoit - Iowa, LA)

A flame cannot burn with no fuel to ignite nor can you read by a candle that has not been set to light and the brightest of flames cannot clear the sight of primitive souls still fearful of Night The Night is not the only fear of those whom drive yet refuse to steer blind to all that they dont want to hear littering the Path that others made Clear Coveting nothing engenders no fear for the only things lost are the one we hold dear through times of disorder famine and war; in his new modern age no one is ever too far for only the Realm of the Dead erases the scar

Drivers and Watchers (Louis Toliver Jr - Swartz, LA)

Like a race car track Drivers drive life to the fullest Their souls speed around Among a coliseum of watchers Lap after lap risking their lives Watchers envy the freedom Safely viewing crashes at a distance They won’t do anything to help

The Story of "You" (Louis Toliver Jr. - Swartz, LA)

  “What about us?” I said as I was leaving I’ve spent all this time right by your side And this is how you repay me? This? Yes, I’m pissed. Yes, I’m fucking pissed. I’m not going to keep saying  I’m sorry Not to a piece of shit like you, no way! You. You. “You” is all I hear out of  you And the thought that I gave so much time… The thought that I built a life around you… What about us? Huh? What about us? Lying, cheating, stealing, hating, fighting, Hugging, kissing, sighing, loving, fucking… Ahhh! I hate you! I hate you! I love you! Was I always in this alone? When did you leave ? Where did your heart go? Mine was here. I’m so embarrassed. I’m so confused. I am… Who I am? Who am I… without you?    I’m lost My life gone down the drain. A black hole. A black hole created by an asshole. That’s you. Yep. The asshole. I don’t know what to say now. I could stand here in silence. Should I? Hell no. Well, I’ll    just stand here and think. Think… About the multiple ways to say “goodbye, jerk”
