Me: I can’t have children
friend: you mean because…..
me: no. Because I cant put things out of reach
friend : erm….
me: you know like, keeping bleach out of reach?
Friend: what do women do then? They’re normally the shorter ones
me: they get a tall man in. But I am the man….
hate often arises from taking love too seriously.
I am going to keep this short. Because i’m feeling like a lazy gorilla.
We’re getting it wrong. It shows itself all the time. We’re getting it fucking wrong.
We continue to make the same mistakes.
The mistake in HOW we talk mens issues.
I hear the same shit everytime. Wanting to allow men to ‘open’ up and show their ‘weaknesses’ We have been saying it for years now.
Do you know what the real problem is? Are you really ready to hear it?
You want weakness to always look the same. So you only look for those signs. You miss the rest.
On a carousel
go round and round
There is a silence beneath the melody
where ghosts lurk
Trying to run free

We fear just being
We have been told it’d make us lazy.
But it is in the trying
The attempt to climb mountains (metaphorical)
that pain comes.
It is in the trying that we grow to love or hate
We can’t have love without hate. Once you see that, you see that love is perhaps a conqueror, as the saying goes “Love conquers all” oh it certainly conquers, but not how you think.
It doesn’t conquer hate, for hate needs love and love needs hate.
It is with this in mind that I say that love is a childish notion, it is not some great devine, it is not some fantastic cure all. We can’t end hate till we transcend love.
If you’re interested in more posts like this, of a philosophical meandering nature then like this post. I may open another blog just for my thoughts on life, like I had previously.
“Matt, are you okay you seem quiet?”
I simply have nothing to say
I’ve learnt something and no one will hear it. Because no one wants to.
Peace and love are not the same thing.
If we wish to transcend hate, we must transcend love. That is to say, realise the childish notion of both. It is a myth that love conquers all.
Peace conquers all.
But peace shall not come through the blessings of ‘god’ or any other worshipping. To worship is to quash peace. Peace is the antidote to worship.
When there is nothing to worship, there is nothing to hate.
Whatever comes will come. I have no malice or excitement. No hate, not even love. Just…..peaceful.
I have no thoughts to add to political discussions
no thoughts to add to scientific discussions
nothing I wish to claim as my own
no dreams or nightmares
no wellwishes or Ill wishes
everything just is
Out on the moon
A cowboy rides a unicorn tonight
He won’t be home soon
He’s out for the long ride
He smells of whiskey and wine
Has a beard marking days gone by
But he doesn’t mind
Because he got to where he set his sights
No mountain was too high
And he takes a light
Smokes his cigarettes
And breathes in his dreams through the hazy night

Comment, I might bite.

Everything is changing
And I’m twice removed
I want to be a pillar of strength
It’s not my turn to break
I’ve been the broken one too many times
Now it’s my turn to climb
I took to the mountains
On my pursuit
Seeking the truth
Exhausted is an understatement
Now that the abhorrent reality
Has shown to me its true faces
Monstrous, grotesque
An understatement
To the devastation
I must withstand
Without protest
