Earth is square,
Mars a triangle.

Everything’s a dare,
common sense dangles
from a strained hair.

Love is replaced with Lust,
everyone’s drove not to trust.

Why is the world so strange?

Why does it seem deranged?

Am I as so ugly to
be singled out,
ridiculed and called
fugly?

No, it is the world that is
weird—they are the ones that are
queer.

Silly Beings.

Silly Planet.

The author's comments:
I've been writing "seriously" since April 2007. Since then, I have written three manuscripts for novels, countless short stories, and many, many essays. I enjoy writing and I practice the art every day -- I find it completes my being.
