Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, “Wow! What a ride.” – Hunter S. Thompson, Doctor of Gonzo.
Hope rises
and dreams flicker
and die.
Love plans
for tomorrow
and loneliness thinks
of yesterday.
Life is beautiful
and living is pain.
