			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> <a href="http://www.martinstranka.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1763" title="On The Edge  by Martin Stranka" src="http://www.kimnelsonwrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/On-The-Edge-by-Martin-Stranka.jpg" alt="" width="382" height="334" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>As he teetered on the brink</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Of this existence</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Did he quantify success</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Based on</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Fast cars and hot women?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>~</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Any regrets?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>~</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Did the futile search</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>For his ideal</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Cause concern?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>~</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Did he measure his own value</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>In the manner of the world:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Dollars</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Cents</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Titles</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Rents,</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>And feel remorse?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>~</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Or did he say,</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>“Hot Damn!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>This was one wild ride!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I’m so flippin’ glad</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I lived large &#8217;til I died!”</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>She had to go.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Her presence, mere existence, was a risk.</strong></p>
<p><strong>We could</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Dress her up,</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Change her look,</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><strong>Modify her body,</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 120px;"><strong>Dye her hair.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;"><strong>To No Avail.</strong></p>
<p><strong>She was</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Traceable,</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Trackable,</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><strong>Hackable.</strong></p>
<p><strong>So now she&#8217;s gone.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">What appears to be success is not success.&#8221;</span> <span style="color: #ffcc00;">he </span>said.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8230;<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s never really that simple.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
