BREAKING NEWS.....

It happened then,
without a warning
all of a sudden
out of the blue

When things hit you,
asking for evidence
of your existence

Claustrophobic this
very being,
inside me, deep within
scars piled up,
scathing, unseeing

Who would want to know?
Who would want to know?
This breaking news?
Any takers??

No sunshine
No drops of dew
A crack enveloped
in the fourth chamber

Complicated, Confused
wanting to reveal
the purpose of survival
in every new reel

But...
who would want to know?
who would want to know?
This breaking news?
Any takers??

Any takers??

so u realise just what i did.
congrats, join the club...suddenly those bylines do not matter.

it was fun being a freelance...journalism killed a lot more than just time

no takers, honey, no takers...an intelligent man who is a regular reader spends not over 15 minutes on an average on a paper, they told us at work...who cares a f*&^ for the name that wrote...who cares a f*&^ when the day has passed...

but we do it nevertheless, honey, we do. the world must go on. the play must go on. climax and otherwise, are necessary.

gosh, i wrote all dat...shows how much i have missed writing in this no-frills world of mine...havent i? havent u?

hehe, sadie...arent u?
