[109 words] Dead Designers (Poetry) It was when Versace died and there was huge news coverage, I just thought how shallow it all was. Ok, a man died.

[28 words] Sunburn (Poetry) After seeing people lying in the sun and turning into cancer-potential lobsters I just couldn't help but think how stupid some people really are! [37 words] The End Of The World (Poetry) Fairly self-explanitory title really! [80 words] The Show (Poetry) I found myself sitting in a huge, but empty auditorium.

[107 words] Up To Speed (Poetry) I always knew what I wanted to do with my life, but was afraid to take the plunge. I kept saying, 'next week' or 'tomorrow', but kept wimping out. This was a kick up my own backside! [200 words] Weighing It Up (Poetry) About realising you need someone who sometimes seems too much effort. [48 words]
Someone We Do Not Know Peter Halpin
We like to think there's someone watching over us,
someone we do not know.
We hate to think there's someone watching us,
someone we might know.
Losing our privacy, our self-trust
makes us quiver, sends a shiver through us.
We hope things will all be fine,
we think we'll be all right.
We're sent up the river that leads to the sea
which leads us to the ends of the world
where we meet our angels and our spirits;
we never think the devil is going to stay on our shoulder.
While we get older we say we get wiser
whereas we really go deaf, blind and weak.
If there's someone watching over us
what do they do when we die?
Do they turn away and face the facts
or is that the reason we ended?
There are so many questions we ask
but who are we really asking?
And why do we keep on asking?
Is there anyone there for answers?
Or do they just look at us for laughs?
I think we'll be all right.
I hope things will all be fine.
Whoever you are, keep an eye on me
I want to know I won't die alone
even if you're not looking when I leave you.

"I personally believe in one God before any humans."Or do they look at us for laughs". Makes me believe you do believe in something as they is more than the one. I don't think that God laughs at anyone. I have read about people who do not believe in God, but due to some near death experiences they some how came back to realize that they were give a second change to do good. They also realize that there is Heaven and Hell. On another occasion l have read about a youngester who was on drugs who was dying - that the doctors said that he would not survive. He father called in the Preist and by the morning he suprisingly survivies to tell them that he have seen a light - that he suddenly believed that God had saved him. - I do hope you will soon believe in him to spread the word of the Lord yourselve. Whether you beleive in God or not. God Bless you anyway. " -- Amy, Amsterdam, Holland.
