Just Me Myself and Mrs
by Captain Meatsack
Just me and the mrs
Just me and the mrs
And the talking mouse
Mr Kind was left behind
He agrees its fixin needin
Fixin needin
Half my soul done up and gone
Done up and gone
Done up and gone
Rhombus Emmit Epglone
Hai to Terra flown
TC he did die to swell
Gone and flown
Long time gone
Fae of stories wind done shone
Sky done shone
Through all the things that carry you
Woman I love
Still here is here
Still is here
Hope we all dont disappear
With the brownshirts knockin
Somewhere there's a me that fights
Me that fights
Me that fights
But he aint here in my old flesh
No tights No cape
No chainmail mesh
No hero here in Real Town
Redwin here was splattered on a city bus
Painful was it done
Redwin splattered on a city bus
Redwin dere splattered
Amigos silent as the wind
As the wind
In the hole the spider crawls
Pulling in his web
Silent goes the mighty horns
And who is left but Meatsack?
Can't just leave it there
Leave it there
In despair
Some kind of positive spin
Something uplifting
Something hope
But the best of me has gone and flown
Gone and glown
Out there in the universe
They fight the fight
Where folks is worth it
Me I am just a meatsack here
Meatsack hear?
I aint no more special than none
And so the simple truth is this
Truth is this
Hope and pray we make it through
Make it through
Same as you
Meatsack stuck is all I is
And this sand cuts like glass
This will pass
Is what they say
What they say
What the heavens tell me
Passing like a kidney stone
Kidney stone
It will hurt
before its done
So the heavens tell me
Just me and the mrs
Just me and the mrs
And the talking mouse
Mr Kind was left behind
He agrees its fixin needin
Fixin needin
Half my soul done up and gone
Done up and gone
Done up and gone
Rhombus Emmit Epglone

Two Poems and Change
I find myself wondering what has become of TC.....in days such as this, he would frequently make status updates here, but TC is gone. That is not to say gone forever or dead physically, but this has entirely been left to me. From hence forth, I shall be speaking as Rhombus unless I identify myself as someone else. I have been asked to warn you.
I must say...I can't. You have the internet. You have your history books. You have the news.
The humans of Terra are not perfect....but Jesus Christ...we wouldn't do what you have. America is the worst but its happening all over your world....and you let it. Your petty lies, your petty divisions. We look so alike, but we fictionals at least have some honor humility and unity. There is more sanctimony between EP Blingermeyer and me than there is between members of your your own families and political tribes. You are not ALL scum of course, but really? I sit in judgement and by your perspective I am not a real person. We all do. TC is in no position to judge, even though he has been repeatedly right.
And the destruction of poor Thom's facebook account shows the popularity of someone from Potatostan. Personallly, I am done with Zuckerberg's folly but EP Blingermeyer has ideas.
Well, you are primarily of interest to provide stories, but seriously, no one on Terra would BELIEVE you people...even now, its unbelievable. I can use your stories of other worlds but your world is a mess. Its a complete mess.
Anyway, enough lecturing.
Here are two poems Emmit made. He has lived among you longer and has more patience though he too is leaving. Even EP Blinger plans to stop visiting. "There are other worlds than these." he said. I only astrally project so I don't need to visit there.
Scorpion Gonna Be
Won't You Feel For Methland?

So disgusted with humanity
I have deleted my facebook account and may delete my twitter. Human interaction seems to be largely pointless. Creative endeavors are pointless. All life on earth is likely to cease within the next year.
I have preprogrammed the script into the blog.
I will not be writing for a while

[Script] Sentinel Chronicles - November Project - Act 2 - Scene 4

Scene: Captain Andrew continues moving across the Tundra. The sun has advanced in the sky and the wind died down. Now it is getting unbearably hot and he is sweating.
Andrew: God Damn it mother nature! Make up your mind!
He takes out the radio and listens. Weird clicks and alien howls move in the bioground as he hears bioroid transmissions and dives to the ground, looking around in fear.
Scene: More time passes. He is crawling at this point. The sun is setting and the wind has already started up again. Frost is starting to collect and as he looks around he sees no sign of shelter. He checks the radio.
Commander Ogone (From the Radio): Responding to the Order 37. Over. We have a lock on the pilot and the cargo.
Scene: Andrew gets a lock on the tank with his radio and is pleased. He finds the energy to get up and slowly run toward the Tank.
