Favorite Quote:
'I'm nothing special, really, just a kid who tried too hard.'


Naught futile words can we recount;
The relic of the past remains-
As we, my dear, go up in flames.
Heed to the prayers of the martyr, but
With selfish pride, cremate the truth;
And burn her righteous guilt of youth.
Useless guardians of our fate-
Wait in vain for her last breath,
Blink of eyes, heave of chest.
Incinerate the damned; condemn the
Cowards to depths of eternal flame,
And annihilate all traces of the blame.

The author's comments:
This was written about a man who set his house on fire and killed his family members deliberately. He shot at all the police, firefighters, and the like. It is a true story.
