#Don'tJudgeABookByItsCover

You know when it comes to books I'm a hardcore advocate. Reading them, giving them to friends, family, kissing cousins, hell even random strangers. The point is these days it's really hard to find people reading $#!7. They're busy taking pictures of their new doggy door or the last molar they have removed.

Why Ben, whyyyyyyyyy?!

Dictionaries define pop culture as ''culture based on the tastes of ordinary people rather than an educated elite.'' Ugh, seems like I'm delivering a eulogy.

Anyhoo, I stumbled across a guy incorporating pop culture into his works. ''My style is dark, humorous and full of imagination,'' says Ben Chen.  

P.S. MARY! If you're reading this post, brace yourself; some of these are brutal. They messed me up.

I'll start with my favorite:

Changes to come and wash the old days away, 
Changes; like sun! Always the same!
Letting go people, letting go things,
Time is flying away as if it had wings. 


The sunset is cleaning my messy thoughts 
Somewhere there r new suns of new hopes 
New dreams 
New wishes
Old times are lost forever
I am not saying good bye Not now ... Not ever.

 

Timeless,

They say life is a big school

Never ever break a rule !
