#ohsnowyoudidnt

Eyes to the sky, frozen lashes protecting and denying
The beauty that harasses the landscape, crying ice.
Waiting for the break in the clouds
That allows for us to take in the wake
Of an apathetic Mothers blanket.

Four wheeled ignorance careens across the distance,
Tyre-peeled pavement revealed in checkered grayscale.
Her gifts and burns are hard to discern;
Natures frosty bard wants us to learn
That humankind will be left behind.

Laugh and play, complain away the day;
It doesn't matter to that bitch.
Enjoy it or annoyed by it;
She doesn't care either way.

Protected from the elements, bundled in metaphors,
Our mother wont acknowledge us, we're considered mere sediment
At the bottom of a barrel called Earth.
The forgotten apparel that saw no worth
From a woman who gave us birth.

SNOW!! 'n shit.

Other Love Songs #1

For when 33 "Bay-beh"s in some tweeny bopping auto-tuned mess aren't quite enough to get it off your chest, whatever It may be. Here's the first in an ill conceived and indefinite series of Valentine Day related posts exemplifying what I consider Alternative Love Songs.

Ida Maria, from Norway, is reported to have the neurological phenomenon of synesthesia which, in her case, means she envisions colours when she hears music. Take from that what you will whilst this song tugs on your situational, metaphorical, and/or theological heart strings.
