The View

The View

A steady cold rain beat against the rusted windows. These buildings are very overgrown with vines - this is a fourth floor window.

"know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
She said a good day
Ain't got no rain
She said a bad day's when I lie in bed
And think of things that might have been"

This is what Tim Burton and Michelle Lynn Edwards (my favorite artist) see through their closed eyelids.

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
with an aching in my heart and a pocketfull of sand
Im' a long way from home and I miss my loved one so
In the early morning rain with no place to go

I wish they would let the remains stand and not tear them down for redevelopment. They should declare this a historical landmark.

My thoughts exactly, but with all the graffiti, abestos, fires, etc, how could they?

Im going to use this picture in my scapbook i hope you dont mind. It's different to the windows we had, i think i like this one better, our windows were double locking. Meaning you had to ask a nurse to unlock the flirst grate like window which made it hard to see out and allowed very little light to shine through to open the big glass (barred from the inside) window. Often the nights would become cold but no one would come to your aid, when you got cold, to close the window.

This is one of the most horrific pictures I've seen. It just looks dreary and haunting.

Dont you people believe in God,Sigmund Freud was a freaking nut himself.Psycology is legalized torture and branding.everybody has issues,problems,anger,different moods,Everybody talks to themselves once in awile.Psycology is the devil,a complete brainwashing of somebody in a weak mindframe,dont you get the song by pink floyd another brick in the wall.another way to make a human money sign,
