Survey

I have a dear friend, who is doing this big project thing, and she needs to collect some survey results. And as she is hoping for 1000 responses (she is very over ambitous), I thought I'd help her out. So if you could do the survey in the link below, it would mean so much to both me and her. It's about the seven deadly sins, and there's only 4 questions. Thank you.

Worlds Apart

I was once lucky enough to go to Hong Kong, it's a wonderful country, it truly is. There was one moment though, that stood out amongst the rest.
I was on a bus, travelling where I can't remember. But on one side, there were, well I couldn't make out what they were at first. It was all this stuff, put together; wood, cardboard, all of that. And then someone announced them as slums. People lived in what I saw as hovels. It was dirty, I wonder how waterproof they were. I couldn't imagine spending a day in them. And then, on the otherside of the road, apartments rising high, neat on the facade. And, as is, McDonalds.
On one side of the road there was poverty, and on the other wealth. Just a road apart, yet so different. Two different worlds. And really, in both of them, is just people.
Until then I didn't realise how close different worlds could be. I always imagined them to be separated, nowhere near each other. But they were, and they still are.

Encompass Now

Slowly the moon rises
And pen to paper is put
A life of a shadow
Unveiled
Borne to all the world
Not to see
To find
Amongst the iridescent stars
And the sun that waits over the pull of gravity
Rests so softly
See it not, but find it aye
A shadow to slip between the worlds
To flit nigh on clouds
Taunting its strings
Slowly the moon rises
You rest
