If...

If you can keep your head when all about you ...

The Man with the Beautiful Eyes - Charles Bukowski

from the poem of the same name by Charles Bukowski

...and
we were afraid
then
that
all through our lives
things like that
would
happen,
that nobody
wanted
anybody
to be
strong and
beautiful
like that,
that
others would never
allow it,
and that
many people
would have to
die.

Bump

Things that go 'bump' in the night

Should not really give one a fright.

It's the hole in each ear

That lets in the fear,

That, and the absence of light! 

Spike Milligan
