The morning light, dappled by closed eyes, spoke of another day. Eyelids cracked open to allow the dreams of night to fly away into the cloudy air, leaving us sad and unfulfilled.  Why do we dream? Why is there never an end we can understand?

As the world wakes all those dream-ends gather like flocks of birds and fly to the sun to be burnt to extinction, while we cry tears for those lost moments of understanding.

This is me, not you

I am me Not you or your friends Nor your Mom I am me Accept that and we agree Ignore that and we fight I am me I will be me until I die I will never be what you want I am me Just me Nothing else

Frozen??

Based on "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Anderson…...who must be spinning like a power drill at this quite appalling waste of pixels. The story bears little resemblance to its heritage save for a frigid (or is that gelid?) Queen.
Disney must have been having a really bad day when this was proposed. We have re-imagined characters from other recent animations...Eddie Murphy’s Donkey from Shrek turns up with a hatrack and fur coat as the cute Reindeer….Mr Stay Puft returns as a Transformer-like Snow Mega Troll (with attitude and frosty halitosis)...the Minions from Despicable me turn up in smart green coats with a sort of concrete complexion. Then we have the "new" characters, just there for the laughs (?) ...the totally creepy Scandinavian Store owner, who seems to enjoy mass mixed 'family saunas….the weird mentally challenged fall-apart comedy snowman (who seems to be played by Goofy) and a Dick Dastardly type of villain. Have these story writers got zero imagination or do they not care to look after their pixels?
Add in a story line that includes parental death, sibling rivalry, deceit and a complete disregard for Health and Safety Risk Assessments (particularly when climbing) then you begin to understand the complete awfulness of this film.
The ending is pure kitsch with the whole thing put right by "LOVE" Awwww…. Then the dumbass Queen, who has just released her Queendom from eternal winter goes and creates a freakin' ice rink in the city!!!
Dumb, disastrous, diabolical.

Rot

A black shadow sits before me Gutteral growls reach my ears Fine pointed teeth drip menace Warm breath washes my face But it sits And waits
I move The shadow moves I run The shadow runs I feel the breath of redemption Let those teeth release me Forgive my sins So I may sleep
There is no sleep For tainted souls An endless path just followed To places we should forget No joy, no smiles A mire of endless misery
Weep not for me Weep only for those left To rot in foreign fields To never be returned Mourned but never given rites Alone they lie forever
The black dogs howl and bark At every rising sun Reminding all of horrors done Never ceasing Never silent Always present Always judging
