Saved by Zero.
Maybe, someday
Saved by zero
I'll be more together
stretched by fewer
Thoughts that leave me
Chasing after
My dreams disown me
Loaded with danger
Maybe I'll win
Saved by Zero
Holding onto
Words that teach me
I will conquer
Space around me

Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero

Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero

1. I think my arms are going to be sore as hell tomorrow
from the new weight lifting regimen I started. What do you suggest I do to combat the pain and tightness? I can already feel the hint of soreness.

4. Zero's my hero!
My hero, Zero, such a funny little hero,
But till you came along,
We counted on our fingers and toes.
Now you're here to stay
And nobody really knows
How wonderful you are.
Why we could never reach a star,
Without you, Zero, my hero,
How wonderful you are.

17. Zero the Hero:
Accept the fact that you're second rate, life is easy for you
It's all served up on a gold plated plate
and we don't even have to talk to you
Your face is normal, that's the way you're bred
and that's the way you're going to stay
Your head is firmly nailed to your TV channel
But someone else's finger's on the control panel

What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother
Zero the Hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Impossibility impissibolity mother
Really a Hero

You sit there watch it all burn down
it's easy and breezy for you
You play your life to a different sound
No edge no edge you got no knife have you
Your life is a six-lane highway to nowhere
You're going so fast you're never ever gonna get down there
Where the heroes sit by the river
with a magic in their music as they eat raw liver

What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother
Zero the Hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Impossibility impissibolity mother
Really a Hero

You stand there captain and we all look, you really are mediocre
You are the champion in the Acme form book
But I think you're just a joker
Your facedown life ain't so much of a pity
But the luv-a-duckin' way you're walkin' around the city
with your balls and your head full of nothing
it's easy for you sucker but you really need stuffing

What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother
Zero the Hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Impossibility impissibolity mother
Really a Hero

5. Nice! Now I'm betting, my dear Crazy Guggenheim,
that THIS one is one that you wrote..

Is it? I like it...and I liked it more the second time I read it...

I always try to get the cadence down as I read...and these free verse types of poetry are a bit harder to get than the traditional...

:hug:

11. I really don't care which topic you write about...
Whatever pleases you is fine with me...It just has to be by you!

But if you really need a topic....then let it be about romantic love...

But we don't want to get the thread locked! Just a thought....

:pals:

Oh, and BTW....thank you...for offering to write some...

Great poetry needs time to percolate, IMHO....

8. I remember that song
It seems like forever since I've heard it.

10. countdown to zero
The night is cold, the sun is down
I see faces through the wire
No chance for them
No shoulder left to cry on

It's 4 am out on the street
Through the smoke I see the fire
It's a funeral pyre
For them to die on

Countdown to zero
Just begun
Countdown to zero
It's time to start the run

The city lights are fading now
As I climb into the plane
To shield me from
The stinging acid rain

And this is it, it's over now
As we taxi down Runway One
Tell me please
You'll wake me when it's over

Countdown to zero
Just begun
Countdown to zero
It's time to start the run

Do you realize what's happening in Western Europe?
Norway, Finland, Scotland, England
We'll be the first to go
Don't do it

Countdown to zero
Just begun
Countdown to zero
It's time to start the run

Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't start the countdown to zero
We want to live
We want to live
We will live
You've got your finger on the trigger
Take it off
Let it go
Let it pass
Let it go
