Sun Children

dirt gremlins

from far away

life seems precious

like the setting sun

it is beautiful to us

up close life disgusts me  

like the rotting flesh 

into our garbage disposal

it smells like s**t

ain't it wonderful?

Author's Note

I think so

Learning to take the beauty with the ugly. For there can be no sunshine without the nighttime.
Enjoy and embrace, for there are plenty of people who would love to be in your shoes.
Even with rotting fish in the garbage disposal.
I enjoyed it. Your words are so true.

Thanks Alexander. Have you ever smoked a bunch of marijuana and listened to a ben folds song called 'there's always someone cooler than you'? I try and listen that song every time I smoke grass.

Yeah, I just read the lyrics. So true. There's always someone cooler than you.
And now that I've got older. I have come to accept that the moon is not jealous of the sun
because of those lyrics.
They both shine at their appropriate time

Hell yeah brother! More music like that needs to be made in todays format. That song is old as s**t. You really have to look for music that conveys that kind of message. I fear we are in the enshitification stage of music. : (
