Truth v Lies. (Yankee Challenge)
We see the lies in smoke filled skies
That fall down on Ukrain,
In frightened youth we see the truth,
They're tears are molten pain.
How deep the lies in Soviet eyes,
They know not truth or peace
For power and greed they pay no heed,
To cries of war to cease,
But in that zone they're not alone,
We've seen it all before,
The Nazies and the Serbs still have,
A lot to answer for.
How many more must die in war,
And rot in unmarked mud,
Before the warlords realise,
The cost is paid in blood.
As Shakespeare said from his death bed,
"To thine own self be true,"
You won't be false to any man,
Nor they be false to you."

So, imagination IS creation, I imagined you, you imagined me and that is what we see,
Simple at first, but complex over eternity!, constant imagination creates complication,
And now, we find ourselves HERE, in constant fear, of life and new creation, we probably should start anew, new me, new you, NEW what we imagine is true.

Why
Why...?
Why am I going to go to a place everyday...?
Smiling and acting like I want to be there...?
Because that is what is expected of me?
A cog?, A wheel in the machine?
I'll make this b*tch spin.
For what...?
So I can help the rich get further ahead...?
Others who don't give a damn about me personally?
Wouldn't sit across the table from me and break bread?
Silver Spoon Mother f**kers who are already well off ?
Really...?
Tell me why should I sweat for you?
Why should I help you to my detriment?
How is it that I became your slave?
Tell me again why I need you.
A virus..., Plague..., Nasty sickness.
Sucking my f*cking life away.
Never again...Never...,
I will die first...

About this poem:
Got tired of being overworked, underpaid, underappreciated everyday...online today!Tomorrow!
I think I have lost tomorrow, it was here yesterday, I have searched in everyway, it wont reappear come what may, So, I must adhere to what is here, so tomorrow is now, and this is what I see, what tomorrow will be, a new future for you and for me!

Post Commentonline today!Onward we go.
The art of communication has changed, rearranged, instead of "I said", its now, "I was like" instead of " I said back" it's "I turned around and said", so they are constantly turning around (for no reason) being like something (for no reason) and THEY are going to be the leaders of our world? No rhyme, no time, its all gonna be over soon.

After the Party
It's getting late, I must go
I had a beer where did it go
I had to pee. I know it's here.
Can't find my keys, where's my shoes.
I gotta go take another pee.
telephone rings, where's my phone!
under the cushions, I find a dime
I know this don't rhyme.
I found a beer is this mine?
taste like lipstick, can't throw it out.
Where's my keys, I gotta take a pee.
Found a pair of shoes they're bigger then me.
It's getting late, I can't escape.
I want my coat, In case I croak
I had a beer where did it go
I had to pee. I know it's here.
Can't find my keys, where's my shoes.
I gotta go take another pee.
telephone rings, where's my phone!
under the cushions, I find a dime
I know this don't rhyme.

Found a pair of shoes they're bigger then me.
It's getting late, I can't escape.
I want my coat, In case I croak

About this poem:
wanted to repost this after i pulled it.online today!Game On
Well, I've read the papers and I've watched the news, decided this is all a ruse, we're in
constant motion, nothing we can change, or rearrange, what's going to be is what's going to be, But we still think that we can change the you and the me, and the new generations cannot see, that they're not new, that they're not you and they're not me, just a younger creation, with a different imagination, and they feel unique, searching and striving for what they seek, But they KNOW they are different, and they KNOW they can be a better version of you and me, UNTIL they find they are just the same, lost forever in this never ending game.

Post Commentonline today!I know?
I know there's something more, I know that we go on, perchance in a different form,
I know there's those that trust, in a God, and they feel they must,
I know that their belief, helps them in their life, brings them relief,
I know that some don't know, don't care, where they are or where they go,
I know that some believe, that we are nothing and then we leave,
I know I will never know, who we are or where we go, until it ends,
and then hopefully, we will still be friends!

Post Commentonline today!One and only one
A strange light enveloped me, mystically, whimsically, suddenly,
and all that was and all that could be, was there for me, for
me to see,
But it was not just for me, and not just personally, it was the whole world laid
bare, and it was in my care,
I could feel the suffering, I could feel the pain, from everyone
that had come and gone,
Every thought and every lie, and every mournful tearful
cry,
I knew it all was a part of me, and everything was reality,
And when I awoke, it was crystal clear, that we are all one with nothing
to fear.
