the man in the oval office

How can your campaign promises cause so much hope, how can u watch the silence by the way u so preside, how can u watch the misery the police hide, can u even grab a hold of the bipartisan hand, when the fast and furious weapons disappeared. Finding the truth was of no use, leave your thoughtlessness behind u. Then u will begin to understand Begazi was never explained,your image saved even with the death of our countrymen. Time for u to move your ego out so u can begin to understand these problems didnt go away with the waving of your hand,that was a wonderful remark. I listened to it,keeping us in the dark,leave your agenda behind,then u will begin to understand, u where suppose to be so much better than previous. Man

Home for Lost Souls

(Verse 1)
Look around you, what do you see?
mothers crying for their sons and daughters
so that the rich can fill their greed with more currency
destroying our bodies with poison in our food and waters
and we just sit back and relax with no complacency
judging others just to heighten our pride and fame
creating a world full of pain and shameful legacies
always pointing fingers, and never taking the blame
how can we be so content with how we became to be?

(Chorus)
This place has turned into a home for lost souls
always searching for the answers outside to fill our holes
why cant we see? are we too afraid?
too look within and confront our demons that took hold
seeing how we let ourselves become so cold
why cant we see?, are we too afraid?
to apologize for the wrongs we inflicted on others
cause deep down we know they’re our sisters and brothers

(Verse 2)
Look around you, what do you hear?
people of nations fighting for wealth and control
not realizing we are one nation no matter how different we appear
one nation of a beautiful earth, one human race as a whole
we have music that teaches us the royalties of the career
but most of this doesn’t come from the heart and soul
this music, only showing us to hate and fear
to disregard morals and destroy the true human role
can’t you see for us to change is so severe?

(Chorus)
This place has turned into a home for lost souls
always searching for the answers outside to fill our holes
why cant we see? are we too afraid?
too look within and confront our demons that took hold
seeing how we let ourselves become so cold
why cant we see?, are we too afraid?
to apologize for the wrongs we inflicted on others
cause deep down we know they’re our sisters and brothers

Campaign Speech

Since I'm going to say anything to get elected
And I'm hoping you'll believe my lies
Here's a few other things I want you to swallow
Smoking three packs a day is good for you
Chimpanzees make good house pets
Gambling is a great investment and will get you rich
Eating donuts will make you lose weight
Dinosaurs were made extinct by cave men
Barack Obama is a great president
So was George
Hitler is in heaven
Drones are here to protect you
Cook you turkey for 350 minutes at 180 degrees
The Cubs will win the World Series next year
The Bears will win the Super Bowl too
Bigfoot lives twenty miles northeast of Seattle
The Loch Ness Monster isn't seen much because he's really shy
Aliens would reveal themselves, but they like playing head games
So when you go to the voting booth, vote for me
Not that other jerk!

About this poem:
Some of the lies are really pretty funny, if you look at it like a standup routine, and not the truth.

Guilt

thank you everyone!

About this poem:
Witnessed this incident yesterday where guilt was written all over a girl's
face as she was confronted of something wrong she's done. Made me think why humans tend to find it easier to justify the action or become defensive instead of accepting and apologising. The good thing is in this case the young girl has a healthy conscience, guilt made her do the right thing in the end...adults are not that much different.

Senator Please!

Dear Senator,

Why do you continue to lie on tv and get paid millions to do it?
Why do you say one thing and then in reality say screw it?
Here we are spending 20 percent of our incomes on health care
When it seems you don't really care
Just lining your pockets with wheelbarrels full of cash
While you make it to your fancy cars with a dash

The Jordan River

Embedded image from another site



Eastern world constantly exploding
a holy war
AK's a loading
the Jordan River
red with the enemies of God...

Hard to tell what is the truth
nod of no life
land of no feel
Muslims, Christians and the Jew
If you don't support the Jihad
like the Mafia they will kill you...

River of often cruelty and pain
running with crimson blood
river that flows in vain
where the flowers are red
the sky is blue
that is what my God tells me
cause I am blind....

ISIS

ISIS
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
Cutting off heads
Killing men
Raping women
What is Islamic about that?
Why do people use religion as an excuse to be cruel to others?
Why are they here?
I think that it is a result of our cruelty to the Iraqis
Stealing their oil
Taking their incomes from 7000 to 700
Leaving many dead or dead broke
1 trillion dollars stolen for what?
So a peace we supposedly paid for could be stolen in days?
We seem to be in the business of creating terrorists
Terrorism is what we do to other countries and to our own people
Is ISIS bad?
Yes!
But so are we

About this poem:
I have been celebrating Halloween since September 15. I used to celebrate Halloween with ghosts, goblins, and werewolves. Now it seems I celebrate it with ISIS, politicans, and the police state.

Bombs blow up children
rendering our futures grim.
Love-grown peace yields hope.

Language

Language is a wrecking ball
undoing silence, sweetness and song
blasting out peaceful ancient cities living
along nature's hillside

Language is a hold-up
a stop in your face
violating your contentment
and sneering on your race

Language is a possession of
the once well tongue
that becomes sick with lust

Roaring out through the eyes
of its holder's soul
language is ego
hanging out of unzipped pant
growing like a weed
in a bed of down

Just a passing thought....Sometimes people forget that action speaks louder than words....and it hurts.... a lot more in fact.
