h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I havent been able to write much recently. That which I have written I'm not comfortable other people reading, I dont want you to know thats what I'm thinking. This is the exception, I wrote it this weekend. Its called behind tired eyes. Its one of those poems that would be a song if I knew anything about music, cos I can hear it in my head ok. Its quite a quick one, each line is quite fast, except the last 5 syllables or so which are quite slow.

Behind tired Eyes lives the sould of a boy that I once knew
All it seemed new and the world was so loud and so big
Not did he know that his dreams were too high and they'd all come crashing down
The body moved on and the mind absorbed all that he knew


Behind Tired Eyes lives the soul of a Man who's face I see
when he stares in my eyes his features look much like my own
He blindly believes in the good of mankind and the hope of all to come
the body moved on and the mind it absorbed all he knew

Behind tired Eyes lives the soul of a man that I once were
Assumed all was there for for his eyes to behold and enjoy
not did he know that the price isnt free and that work is what he must
the body moved on and the mind absorbed all that he knew

Behind Tired eyes lives the soul of a man I could have been
thinks that the world that he sees with those eyes is complete
Not could he know its the tip of the berg and theres more he cannot see
The body moved on and the mind absorbed all that he knew

Behind tired eyes lives the sould of a man I "Should" have been
He's what you expect of a typical man of the times
Not could you know that a sheep of his type is a waste of space and time
The body moved on and the mind absorbed all that he knew

Behind tired eyes lives the soul of the man I wish to be
The knowledge he shares is a fraction of all that he knows
The answers he seeks are the questions themselves and to know just why he is
the body will rest and the mind will absorb all that he knows

(okay, it needs a little work. So Sue me.)

I know your going to call me a cheapskate for this, but i mostly post at livejournal now...

Why would I call you a cheapskate?

I dunno.
