Love is a dangerous emotion
Blinding both rhyme & reason
It causes extreme devotion
Regardless of the season

Love makes the cowardly brave
Love makes the poor very rich
You’ll exchange all the wealth you saved
Or trek through a dangerous ditch

It will turn the wise into fools
And reduce kings into mere mortals
Love will turn you into a tool
Smashing you against the rocks & pebbles

Love is a dangerous emotion
It’s deadly right out of the box
But I will never feel it’s potion
As I have locked it away in a box

…we are all going to be screwed.

The Democrats are promising me more taxes,
While a certain republican is promising me more wars.
If I had to choose between the two…
I’d relocate towards Singapore.

Sigh. I guess I’ll be pulling for Mitt Romney as a first choice, followed by Barack Obama.

If its Hillary and McCain as the party nominees, I might have to actually flip a coin.

Lifter, Lifter, In The Sky

Lifter, lifter, in the sky
How is it you climb so high
Up above the clouds you go
Power beamed up from below
Lifter, lifter, in the sky
How is it you climb so high

Climbing slowly to the stars
Bringing Earthlings from afar
Holding goodies big and small
Opening space for us all
Lifter, lifter, in the sky
How is it you climb so high

Clinging tightly to the ribbon
Made of nanotubes of carbon
On your top is a counterweight
Down below is the LiftPort gate
Lifter, lifter, in the sky
How is it you climb so high

Update: This poem was produced as part of LiftPort’s poetry contest, where contestants can win a free T-shirt from their store. Since poetry is something I randomly enjoy, I thought this would be a nice addition to post to this weblog.
