Guilt


There is no greater motivator than guilt.  Guilt is greater than love, duty, honour, etc. put together. There is no act too great nor deed too base, that will be performed to eradicate this greatest of motivators. Ironically, it takes the smallest of transgressions from the aggrieved party for guilt to be released - one word in anger, one unfounded accusation, one perceived insult, one suicidal night of agony...anything!


Then, guilt is replaced by a moral high ground, indifference and a holier than thou attitude, and the aggrieved is now the guilty. The same people, the same situation, only their roles are swapped. C'est la vie.

Six Feet Under

Look for me
I'm six feet under
Look for me
I surrender

I cried for help
You turned a blind eye
Just looked away
And watched me die


Since that day
I'm six feet under
Soul in tatters
Heart rent asunder

Look for me
I'm six feet under
Look for me
I surrender

You shout my name
Straying behind me
You scream aloud
But you'll never find me


Look at me
I'm six feet under
Look at me
I surrender
