OK...



I'll start...



There once was a lad called Keeper

Who was known as a very poor sleeper

When asked why that was

He replied, "Its because

she keeps wanting it harder and deeper".

The once was a yank named Renee

Who oft let her mouth run away

Like a typical yank

She was the size of a tank

And rumours abound that she's gay...

There once was a lass named RW

Who did all she could not to trouble you

But if you got on the wrong side

She'd bullwhip your hide

And afterwards try to cuddle you...

There once lived a lass named Annie

Who was concerned at the size of her fanny

She tried to lose weight

But it didn't go great

Now she looks like her nanny...

Young Romero was a fine socialist

Using his words, rather than fist

To argue the case

Til blue in the face

But it was fun to watch him get pissed...

OK, something more serious...



The Electronic Truth...



I am the electric truth; pure data unsullied by emotion

I flow through your wires like blood through your veins

Transporting the necessities of your mind's survival

Impelled by current and amp; the life force of all future knowledge

and the custodian of the past, in words, images and sound

Fact and fantasy all fused into a single thoroughfare of thought

My pixels hold your lascivious lust and secret sins of the flesh

Your vile crimes and carnage dispersed in wicked triumph

I share your shame for the world to see and lament in its demise

I am your reality bytes, inescapable and addictive, untenable memories

You can neither ignore or turn away from facts, cold and hard

Stored within my neurones, servers, nodes and hardhearted drives

I dispense your lies, preying with pretty words on the disheartened

I show them love, formed by electrons and shown as text on screens

I can taunt, soothe, succour, humiliate, betray, and deceive

With the ease of water coursing from high impenetrable mountains

I am electric. I do not exist, yet you cannot rid me from your hollow lives

I connect and tear apart, join and destroy, link and disperse

everything you ever believed, within you and without you

I own the infinite human mind, its frailties, its hopes and dreams

All passed willingly to me by the worshippers at my digital altar

Fear me, despise me, curse with vile invectives and despair

For you can never disempower me. The switch now lays beyond your reach.

There once was an old geezer named Specter

Who thought himself RW's protector

He was convinced of his sass

But he was long out of gas

When his limpness failed to become erector...

Don't feel the need to explain yourself. Your actions were justified.

A few weeks ago, I suffered what is somewhat modestly called Serotonin Syndrome. It is the mind and body's response to the withdrawal of serotonin influencing anti depressant. It is similar in principle to going "cold turkey" from narcotics. It lasted about 3 to 4 weeks, rather than the hoped-for 1 to 2 that is more common. But it can go up to 6 weeks. During that time, your body and mind go into a form of shock, and you become highly psychotic, depressed and dysfunctional. I wrote this during that period. It reflects that state of mind and being. It has passed now, and I am much improved...in case you were wondering or worried.



"Pharmacology"



I stand, dead from the ground up,

In melancholy darkness

Absolute and merciless, an assassin of the mind

Only a pallid light shines from my weary heart

Pushing against the Stygian aspect

Filled with strange and mutant shapes

Is that a tree

or an impaled cadaver

A small boulder

or a dead, unwanted child



I repose on a bed of enmity

Surrounded still by mournful murk

Fear courses through my soul

As the fell creatures, born from my mind,

Encircle my ebbing spirit

Their sinister shambling of iniquity permeates

Low moans seeking prey

My time is short

Within life's embrace

A fading radiance of love



I float. Motionless. Face down.

Face down in the dead black water

No more light, no more life

Banshee wails gouge the gloaming

Like the howl of dying dogs

Or the triumph of twisted hellions

I feel my death

More than the loss of my life

It ends thus, face down

Face down in dead black depths

I'm glad to hear you are getting over your pharmacological crisis but in regard to your withdrawal making you "highly psychotic"...... sad to say, no one noticed. I mean I honestly don't think the casual observer of your antics saw or sees a change in your demeanor or persona from then to now. And believe me, I'm not trying to be mean here. It just is what it is, you're a crazy obnoxious old buzzard but I guess we're stuck with you.



So let me be among the first here to welcome you back to the land of the living and thanks for having the courage to share.

Loved ones, close friends and family sure as shit noticed. I was in a dark world, full of anger and vehemence. In fact, my only contact with the outside world for around a week was this forum.



I would not wish that experience on anyone.

I'm sure they did and I feel for them. But with the limited exposure we have to you here it wasn't really noticed, at least not by me and I tend to get hit with the worst of you. But then again I have to assume your problem was the reason that RW asked you to leave the forum for a time. I suppose we all have her to thank for sparing us the worst of the worst.  ac_smile
