Pro writing tip:

Be careful not refer to bad people as "viscous."

While it's true that some villains may well resemble walking human syrup, I'm pretty sure that what you actually mean is "vicious."

People often point out various grammatical errors in texts people write. As if having better attention to words makes the argument presented more or less valid. So I suppose I'm gonna rant about this.

If the cry
does not reach
who should

When the suffering
so ominous
knows no end

When life
Even so well lived it was
calls no mercy

When love
though it seemed so hopeful
never stayed long

Then the cry of hope only remained
This is the only thing
what can still help

si_irini

When love goes
only hope remains
for a life
with her again

If love goes
one now asks
when will she come again
Another form
with a different face
but there it shall be
again

For to think
now it's over forever
Heart then cuts itself
into a thousand parts

She must come
she must come again
for only life can live
when love again

'“RePresent,” a video game that walks people through the experience of a pro se litigant, comes out of the close collaboration between Northeastern game designers and the NuLawLab, an innovation-driven legal laboratory in the university’s School of Law. The end result is an interactive experience that allows players to learn the ins and outs of the process in an engaging and authentic way.'

The beauty
it comes from everywhere

Beauty
can be found everywhere

We capture
and see it should

We should pass it on
and feel the beauty

So that all the ugliness of this world
does not gain the upper hand

Innocent times there once were
Untaken by the evil forces

When smiles were not yet put on
When laughter was still so loud

When hearts were not yet heavy
When joy was still unclouded

Innocent times there once were
Back you want them
Nothing else

Wenn Geschichte sich wiederholt
und diejenigen,
die sich der Vergangenheit
sehr wohl bewusst,
die falsche Wahl treffen,
dann haben alle Opfer
der Vergangenheit,
die für das Richtige
ihr Leben ließen
ein nie endendes Martyrium zu ertragen

Da sie ein zweites Mal
einen Kampf verlieren,
der doch schon
vor so langer Zeit gemacht

Rhyme Time: King & Guillotine.

A look in the mirror reveals
what is otherwise so artfully
hidden from all

People should not see
what looking into the truth
so ruthlessly reveals

It wants to come to the surface
But you must prevent it
to appear

All this hatred that is deeply rooted
within you must not reach the light
of beauty

Not give up the fight
that you have fought for so long
with what was once done to you

si_irini

for all fighters
