To all the haters..try
and be complicated
and hold to opposing views
while expounding love as the cure
only to find that the answer lies somewhere in between
that rocks.
To all the lovers…try
to expound on the fact that you are vulnerable
but that your weakness is your strength
a call to action of shoring up the withering tide
that rocks.you from side to side
incessantly and rocks.
To all the others…try
and see light in the darkness, goodness where there is none
and sit around and sing a song of hope where it has gone
and the dog that has fled and left you seeking comfort elsewhere
that rocks you from side to side.
Poem or is it a song? by Andrew Watkins

I'm bilaterally deaf, schizophrenic, autistic, talented individual. I can see you thinking...What was his day job? Well, I am a qualified systems engineer and i worked in computers. To be honest I can't remember what I wrote in my bio which I deleted. I write I draw, It is my goal in life to be anything but facsimilia. I believe life is duodecimal, you live you die, dark. Some call this depression and indeed I am a depressive schizophrenic. To be something is a great thing-some call it drosophilae syndrome(to be studied), a term I coined myself. As I appreciate in words as I get older sometimes it helps to remember what it was like being a child with drosophilae syndrome where the other is to be seen. This is why I draw and write.
