A fine green oak soaks in the heat
Surrounded by life, the tree is king
His minions feed on what he does not eat
His army of blades grow in the spring
They get cut down, but forever return
True loyal subjects to his royal heiness
They stand up straight when the sun starts to burn
The Oak knows his army is the finest
He, himself, provides shelter to homeless creatures
His arms protect the young he holds
Extraordinary are his features
His trunk so distinguished and bold
A sight very few have ever seen
Certainly, he is a story to be told
But now, his crown glows a goldish green
The oak is now very old
The minions who loved him so
I see my reflection in a puddle on the road
As I walk down the street, carrying a load
The air feels cold with noone around
It feels like everyone has left this town
I look for miles but there is noone in sight
Every house is dark with absolutely no light
Thirteen blocks and I am losing all hope
This nightmare has me at the end of my rope
Morning comes, but the city is dead
There is no school, no children to be fed
The shopping malls are empty, the stores are closed
The city was empty like a ordinence was imposed
How long did I sleep? How long was I in bed?
Is it all just a trick? Could I be misled?
It seems to me that everyone
There once was a kid by the name of Joe
His father was a drunk and his mother was a hoe
He tried to fit in, but he just wasn't cool
And got beat up by the other kids at school
All that he wanted was just a little respect
Instead he was treated like a little reject
Then one day he formulated a plot
And ended it all with just one shot
Click Click Boom, took one to the head
There he lies dead in a puddle of red
Goodbye Joe, we will never see you again
Because Joe has committed the ultimate sin
Next is the story about a girl named Sue
She was a dumb blonde without a clue
She tried her hardest to be thin
But it was a battle she coul
A problem I faced in my past before
Left me with mental and physical scars
I had no reason to live anymore
Locking logical reason behind bars
Hiding it for months, this secret I kept
When I was distraught, my problem returned
It was an idea no one could accept
The problem was real, for it deeply burned
I would close my eyes and would clinch my fist
The pain was too much for me to take in
Regret of crimson tears ran down my wrist
My problem showed itself under my skin
Until the day when my soul became numb
And I realized what I had become
