Red DressDon’t put on your red dress
for he doesn’t know the meaning
he doesn’t want the commitment
he doesn’t care for the color.

The red dress you love to wear
that’s stained from wine and beer
but still carries so much meaning
for who could find a second red dress

Don’t go out on your red dress
for the man who wants nothing more
to screw around and doesn’t understand
the meaning behind a simple red dress.

A red dress for when you dance.
A red dress for when you cry.
A red dress for when you need it.
A red dress for when you care too much.

Don’t put on your red dress for him darling

God called in sick todayGod called in sick today,
and the sky is dancing.
People walked hand in hand
singing in tune with the damned.

Running without stories
‘this is what tragedy feels like’
dead is the new alive
but misery loves company.

Racing with the devil
one doesn't dare stop against
the lord of the damned
he laughs against the concrete.

Can one play with madness
as they dance on clouds of mind?
Heavens a lie when butterflies are flying in hurricanes
And God takes a day off.

Wasted time throwing rocks at stars
souls refuse their eternal rest
they drink a cup of galaxy for breakfast
hymn of the shameless.

Obsession is an ugly word.
When dGod called in sick today by =Oilux
Death Takes Two SugarsDeath knocked on the door
came inside without invitation
poured herself some tea
and asked for a story.

He laughed at all the right parts,
cried when I cried,
asked for more than she received
silently demanding.

It cried with me and laughed with me
sipping their tea and listening
she wondered what I didn’t do
then told me how idiotic I was.

He told me about the children
I could have had but didn’t
and the falls that lifted me up
with the loss of others.

The story of how I almost killed a girl
when she ran into the street
scared her to run into the arms of her father
and never ran into the street again.

Tea with the RabbitTea with the rabbit today
just the same as every day,
every single day and every single night.

And when he danced and sang
I could not join in merriment
for the ropes that bound did not budge

"Merry Unbirthday!"
He would scream and cry while sipping tea,
and I would laugh while hiding tears.

He said he was late,
for what I know naught,
but he did not leave my nightmare.

“The Queen of Hearts is evil!”
And I agreed blindly. Yet I could not help
but wonder if she was really the evil one.

Dormouse, his friend of valiant honor,
rammed his sword into my thigh
and grinned when I wept and bled.

And my one and only friend sat acrossTea with the Rabbit by =Oilux

New contest!!

:iconlawblz2000:

Hello there!

We are going to postpone the deadline! The new deadline is June the 6th!

Check out the theme and the rules. Feel free to contact us if you have any doubts and don't forget to leave a comment (:

Good luck to all of you!!


Theme:
-- Immigrants: Difficult Lives --

"Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state." - Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Freedom of movement is a human right that has caused polemic discussions. What are the Americans if not descendants of immigrants? Then why do so may Americans complain about immigrants? Why are so  many Europeans biased against immigration if that's a way to counterbalance the negative economic effects of the ageing population? Immigrants are people running away from violence, poverty and hunger and seeking a new life. However, they need to deal with many cultural, ethnic, legal and economic problems in order to succeed. Therefore, many of them lead an incredibly tough life and it's our duty to promote their social integration.

Rules:
- Any media is acceptable, such as photography, graphic design, written work, drawing (pencil, colored pencils, pen, digital), painting etc.
- Must be related to the theme
- No Fan Art, can't use licensed characters
- You are allowed to submit more than one entry
  [but only one can make it to the finals]
- Mention it's for our contest

Deadline:
--June 6th--

Submit To:
The "Contest Folder"
(or to universalartists@live.com if you don't have a Deviantart account)

Prizes
- 100 points from ~lawblz2000
- An ice cream-shaped pad [link]
- Featured on our journal, group page, and group site
- Featured on ~lawblz2000 's page and journal
- An official Winner Certificate from #UniversalArtists !

Get featured:

Since some of our main goals are to help artists improve their art, letting them gain more exposure, and to fight against world problems using art, we are going to feature artists who draw for charity or who take part in social projects.

Drawing for charity is a great activity that is very noble; artists who draw for charity are those who take art requests/comissions so that they can send the money they receive (or part of it) to charitable organizations.

If you draw for charity or if you know someone who draws for charity, just comment and tell us about it so that you/the person you know can get featured!

ps.: Another way of helping our causes is to donate us (if you want to donate points, you can donate them to my account ~lawblz2000).

Hi there!

I have recently traveled to South Africa as part of a volunteer trip. This trip changed my life in so many ways. I have come back to Canada more inspired, and with an even greater urge to help make a difference.

I have started a donation pool on my page. My goal is to raise 60 000 points to purchase 50 (based on regular price) "Artist In The Making" children's shirts to donate to children who are in need in South Africa. I will be donating the shirts to Volunteer Eco Students Abroad as this is the organization that I went to South Africa with and I feel that I can trust them with my (and your!) donations. They will be distributing the shirts to children in St Lucia, South Africa and surrounding areas.

I am simply trying to get the word of my project out through posting these messages where I believe deviants who will be willing to help will see it.

If anyone would consider visiting my page and donating (please donate to my pool, not directly to me) even just one point to this cause, it could make a strong impact on a child's life, with very little effort. Every point counts! Thank you in advance :hug:

I am also willing to favorite or watch deviants for points, just let me know what you would like for how many points.

If anyone would like to help spread the word of this, or has any suggestions for me on how to get it out there, it would be greatly appreciated as well <3

Hi, I'm sort of new to this group, and a few weeks ago I submitted some of my drawings, but haven't received anything notification since.
Did I make some mistake while submitting it? Or does it just take a while for the admins to see it and accept or reject them?
