&quot;Look down at me you see a fool, look up at me you see a God, look straight at me and you see yourself.&quot;<br /> -Charles Manson


I am the ocean
Wide with lost thoughts
Ever so slowly getting bigger
But to get smaller I will not

Some thoughts are so deep
You will never reach the end
And some thoughts are so shallow
They were well not to comprehend

But I am not just thoughts
I am also tears
And the monsters inside me
Came straight from Man's fears

Beware my depths and forgotten fathoms
Or else they will eat you whole
Feeding to me once more
Another man's soul.

I wrote this when I was on my way to Florida two summers ago, I was inspired by all the pirates that had died on the same ocean we were visiting, of the slave trades and countless fish boats that have gone out and never came back. I was thinking about how in this modern age with all our technology that we have forgotten how dangerous things can be, and the ocean is definitely one of them.
