They can’t stay in the present.
Because
their eyes are three seconds ahead,
their head is three years behind.
And the light
that shines above the head,
is seven more years
slower than tears.

I get money
I like my Bunches of Oats with Honey
My eggs need ’em runny
The weather, it’s sunny
I drink Dasani and got one knee
Easter time, bunny
I am funny
I like candy, yummy
Dead people, mummy
All y’all my sonny
Poetry, again, again.
I have a dog,
I walk in the fog,
Built like a pig, like a hog
This is a blog,
I have good dialogue,
In the morning I take a jog,
I love cereal, Kellogg
Barbecue, Hotdog
I jump high, names frog
Around the holidays I drink eggnog
Poetry, again
I lift weights
I have mates
My least favorite fruit is dates
I’m currently looking for good insurance rates
I love playing Crazy Eight’s
When my mom gets angry she throws plates
I work at the docs, carrying crates
Our future awaits;
This poem needs someone to narrates.
Girls‘ Last Tour
At that time, the earth’s surface is not suitable for living anymore, so people built new cities on top of old cities and they kept stacking higher and higher. Two girls left their family and started a journey on their German half-track motorcycle, with the goal of survival and trying to reach “the top”. But they travel up to higher levels, they only found war machines and other leftovers of human activities.
Even though their findings were depressing, they did not hold the girls back. They kept looking for resources and moving forward. They even gave up their most valuable things such as the dairy and books to keep themselves alive. The girls’ desire for survival in a world full of despair is admirable.
Lastly, this is a poem by Hermann Hesse that was cited in this manga.
Out Wandering
Don’t be sad, soon comes the night,
When we watch over the faint countryside,
As the cool moon secretly laughs
And we rest hand in hand.
Don’t be sad, soon comes the time,
When we rest. Our small crosses will stand
On the bright roadside together,
And it rains and snows,
And the winds come and go.
Auf Wanderung
Sei nicht traurig, bald ist es Nacht,
Da sehn wir über dem bleichen Land
Den kühlen Mond, wie er heimlich lacht,
Und ruhen Hand in Hand.
Sei night trauig, bald kommt die Zeit,
Da haben wir Ruh. Unsre Kreuzlein stehen
Am hellen Strassenrande zu zweit,
Und es regnet un schneit,
Und die Winde kommen und gehen.
Poem
I’m alone in the dark
Scared of the ocean because of shark(s)
I have a dog, she goes “bark”
I’m walking my dog, gotta embark
In school my friends said I was a narc
Fireworks; spark
Traveling international, Denmark
My teachers yell at me because of my remark(s)
I walk my dog in the park
I know a kid named Mark
After this I’m starting my villain arc
My 3 Favorite Songs Right Now
My music taste fluctuates a lot, and I’m constantly finding new songs to play on repeat until I hate them. Here are the songs I’ve been playing nonstop for the past week or so.
Tend the Garden by Gang of Youths
This song has such beautiful music, and it’s pretty sad. I mean, that’s to be expected from Gang of Youths; they did also make the song Achilles Come Down. Like Achilles Come Down, it’s a narrative, and it’s sang from the perspective of a father who presumably did something horrible and won’t ever forgive himself for having to leave his children. It’s a really poetic song and there’s a good amount of fairly obscure Biblical references, so if you’re into that kind of thing, definitely give it a listen. (Or a million listens, like I’ve done.)
Sanctuary by Joji
This song is so fun to listen to. The music is a perfect blend of upbeat and chill. Joji has such a beautiful voice, too. It’s a really sweet love song and isn’t really sad. Good to listen to if you’re just looking for good vibes.
Black Barbies by Nicki Minaj
This song is totally different from the other two, but it’s so good. It’s basically another version of Black Beatles by Rae Sremmurd. The rhymes in it are super clever. If you like artists like cupcakKe, Megan Thee Stallion, and Cardi B, you’ll probably like this song.
Those are my favorite songs right now. They definitely all have very different vibes, but I listen to all of them all the time. I hope if you check them out, you like them too!
The Lion
How is the lion the king of the jungle?
He his vicious and feared
He’s a killer and a king,
But how?
A lion sleeps for 20 hours day,
Meaning he rules the jungle for only 4 hours a day,
His mentality is different.
He instills fear in others
He kills in his sleep
A lion’s presence alone changes a whole community in the jungle,
Elephants, gazelles, and cheetahs all know who the ruler is
Even humans understand how merciless a lion’s mentality is
In four hours a day the lion is physically running a jungle
But for 24 hours a day the lion is psychologically ruling a jungle.

The Story of a Man Snapping my Neck
For weeks on end all felt in my neck was a strain
My misaligned spine was causing me quite a lot of pain
So after months of waiting I made a chiropractic appointment
Which did much more than a muscle relaxing ointment
CRACK
At first I thought the man had killed me
for his monstrous hands hinted at villainy
I had thought he snapped my neck in half
Or stretched it out like a giraffe
I was vulnerable in this behemoth’s grip
For he could pull my limp head off if his hands were to slip
I was at this mans mercy
pleading he wouldn’t hurt me
But in the end he helped me
And made sure to announce his efficacy

Gobbler
I came home in the early evening to find my stomach hollow
So I put together a dirty dog and placed it in my gullet to swallow,
A hot dog topped with toppings such as cheese, chili, and corn
As I placed it in my mouth I discovered a miracle had been born,
I’m a master of creation
I have the hands of god,
I can change reality like claymation
My life up until now turned to be a facade,
I start to dig in
I’ve become a professional eater,
The food disappears fast
Like I’m accelerating in a two seater,
Seconds have passed
And I’m turning down the heat,
I ate it so fast
I was sure an eating record I had beat.
