If you are ever given a choice as to being an epileptic or no, I recommend choosing, “no”.

Owen "Beleaguered" Servant (a/k/a Sibelius Russell) writes poetry mostly, with an occasional pause to have a seizure.
The Underlying Logic of Certain Popular Movements
I am so great, and live so well,
That I can pretty safely tell
All people how to live their lives,
And how the world should be.
Without the weight of irony,
Not burdened by humility,
I’ll tell you all, with certainty,
What you should get for free.
I know so much, so perfectly;
I understand life’s tragedy.
And without precedent, am wise –
So – just listen to me.
To share is human:
Single Thought #4
I had a thought, or, well, sort of –
I hope you won’t find it a downer:
That hate is not stronger than love
But it is most certainly louder
To share is human:
Single Thought #2
We waste a thing, and it is gone,
Forever it’s dispersed:
And of the many things we waste
A heartbeat is the worst
To share is human:
Single Thought #1
I’ll just say this, and nothing more:
Our lives are defined by what we ignore
To share is human:
Shades Of Gravy
What is wrong? What is right?
Should I have dessert tonight?
Is it wrong to super size
Or put more gravy on my fries?
Should I, possibly, eschew
Having a pretzel dog or two?
I such questions can’t escape
So maybe I’ll have a crepe
To share is human:
A Last Time For Everything
There’s a last time for everything
But we don’t know just when
The day comes when we do a thing
We will not do again
We’ll eat somewhere that will not be
Around in times ahead
A person’s face one day we’ll see
The next, they might be dead
The last time at a family meal
The last at Mother’s Day
The last time that we ever feel
A certain special way
We know it’s true, and yet we won’t
Prepare against the blast
We just live blithely, for we don’t
Live each day as our last
