Life was never meant to beA competitionA battle for positionA fight for recognition But instead of working side by sideWe’re locked in oppositionOnly ever focused onAchieving our own ambitions Completing our own missionTo the detriment of the widerHuman condition Remember greater power comesFrom fusion not fissionSo why is our societySo hell-bent on division What we [...]
Author: Matt
Yo, hi, hello. I'm just your standard sarcastic, cynical, satirical guy who doesn't care much for acting in an 'age appropriate' manner, whatever that means. I write poetry and short stories. Want to know anything else? -> https://mspoetry.com/whos-matt

Defenceless
I amDefenceless UnableTo repel Your perpetualInvasion Of my thoughts I amPowerless IncapableOf halting Your eternalOccupation Of my heart
Every Time I Close My Eyes

History Repeats

Another 100 words in 100 seconds
Another writing exercise where I gave myself 100 seconds to write a story, before editing down to 100 words. It seemed too good to be true. Not only had this muppet dropped his keys, but posted online whereabouts he’d lost them, even adding his address, requesting whoever finds them pop them through his letterbox as [...]

Ramblings: Sex Ed
It was announced recently that, for the first time in twenty years, the Sex Education syllabus in England is set to be rewritten. About damn time. I say that, but I didn’t even realise it was an official thing. My high school certainly never followed it. Yes, they taught the basics of reproduction. Yes, they [...]
100 words in 100 seconds
I gave myself 100 seconds to write 100 words (initial word count was 117, so I had to edit slightly to bring it down to 100). This is the result: The night was dark, as night tends to be. Through the quiet streets hurried a young woman. As she passed by an ale house, a [...]
