As I laid sprawled out on the park bench one summers afternoon
She sat there pleased to be away from the human bustle
I knew her, not for long but i knew her
Through the slats of the park bench her little boy showed me the clover flower
he had picked from the lawn
He hung it over one of the slats to show me it in wonder
I saw what he saw and through his eyes I became a born again child.

Importance of all lives should be the same
it never becoming reality is a shame
Integrity in every sport long ago died
denying it suggest you just lied

The mentally distraught are unjustly deemed crazy
procrastinate a euphemism for 'too damn lazy'
The facts expressed are hardly ever that
what's lost is always wear it was last at

Politicians could care less about society
self-serving is their ONLY priority
The United States is foreigners dream place
humans have fallen short of a humane race

Media is a sinister conduit inducing unhealthy stress
political correctness birthed an irreparable mess

To steal a kiss is really sweet.
To be given one free is twice the treat.

Without doubt "self-serving" defines The Powers That Be
suffering is prevalent because it's of no concern to thee
They have the means to save many lives but don't
much of what is very wrong they could 'right' but won't

Our laws don't permit authorities to aggressively rid menacing scum
fears the uncivilized bring about day after day leaves us numb
Humanities descent towards darkness accelerates without genuine care
reversing our fall entails revamping morals that have reached rare

The fact many die everyday from starvation and disease is deplorable
inhumane is another way to describe those indubitably culpable
It's said "No One Is Perfect" but man has perfected dispensing vile
the most gruesome savages assure peace doesn't last for even a while

Words cannot justly convey the unimaginable trauma humans endure
unconscionable evil doings man obviously has no desire to cure
Sinister are those who's focus is wealth rather than humans being
that's a positive change in our reality we will never be seeing

An alleged Almighty is father to us all according to the Good Book
a real father would protect his children no matter what it took
His reason to sit idle as mass sorrow persist he didn't want known
the faithful cry out for loving mercy but true response isn't shown

Americas' West is inundated with landscape I've long wanted to see
I would definitely like to visit but making it home could never be
Viewing The Northern Lights in Alaska is another vacation dream
witnessing the phenomenon is most likely to induce a joyous scream

Watching animals in their natural habitat of The Serengeti defines intense
being surrounded by killer predators pushes adrenaline rush to immense
I'd become overwhelmed during my soaking in of Ancient Roman Land
totally paralyzed by awe as I absorb the magnificent history firsthand

Those resplendent Islands of Hawaii are indubitably a desirable place
on that paradise in the Pacific I badly want my own personal space
Two other must see destinations are Australia and The Paris France
Switzerland, South Africa and Ireland too if ever I had the chance

A venture to Costa Rica and Venice are among my Dream Wish List
If I had ONE wish I'd choose going where that alleged heaven exist
To be perfectly honest most aren't even feasible considering I hate to fly
my Philosophy is 'no airplanes negates crashing down being how you die'

There is no greater story that has existed in history than that of our species.
We have always been an inquisitive series of creatures,
Ever since our ancestors took their first steps out of the primordial lakes
And observed the beautiful world around them.
They were primitive, yet had a yearning for knowledge through exploration and experimentation.
As our species has advanced throughout the last 200,000 years,
We have made fascinating discoveries about ourselves, the world around us, and beyond,
Yet our ancestors’ primitive and infantile behaviors have continued to remain in existence,
Even after all of these years of evolution.

It is surprising how our species has always been riddled with contradictions and irony.
We have an understanding of how to care for one another,
Yet some of us have been abused through egotistical desires and manipulation.
We want to share this beautiful planet and it’s bountifuls,
While some of us horde it for ourselves.
We want to live in peace and co-existence,
Yet some of us attack one another over frivolous quarrels,
Which results in verbal disputes or bloodshed.
We have created several inventions and concepts during our time on this planet,
Yet we have designed them to purposely help or hurt one another.

These contradictions often come from the worst of human errors, such as money and power,
two of which have vastly poisoned the minds of both the controllers and the controlled.
The belief that money is somehow legitimate is only a mere superstition, which has been enforced by the historical tyrants who claim they rightfully own this world.
This superstition is why many people impulsively ignore the injustices happening right in front of them,
and shows that money itself is a false reward compared to a love of this planet and it’s inhabitants.
Believing one has a supposed devine power over others is detrimental,
And shows how foolish and egotistical they can become.
A prime example of this is getting other people to do their bidding.
A religious parent isn’t proud their child made their first communion,
Instead the parent only concerned about getting a positive review from those in their congregation.
If a student doesn’t do as their told,
Their teacher believes they can rightfully-so restrict them of their human rights and freedoms.
If a person refuses to participate legalized theft (commonly called taxes),
The politicians and their enforcers believe they can legally kidnap and cage that person.
Despite these two human errors,
We are continuously pushing to become a race of free, open-minded individuals,
Instead of shackled slaves.

Our ancestors were shackle-less when they began their lives,
Yet some of us insanely believing we need to be shackled
Has led to the most inhumane injustices waged upon us.
Due to our natural sense of intuition,
We universally agree that those actions have always been wrong,
But we have sadly become so accustomed to them,
We have become lost and unaware of a way out,
Even when carrying a torch through the dark canals of our situations.

Becoming a race of natural, and intelligence-embracing, human beings isn’t impossible,
It simply requires learning from the mountain of mistakes we’ve made in the past,
And continuing to persist forward.
However, nothing is as clearly evident as our immaturity and ignorance causing nothing but backfire.
We have good faith that our descendants will live in the world we dreamed of,
Yet it is important and imperative that we push the boulder into motion
For a beautiful world to exist in the future.
Us doing so in one way or another shows we are capable of gradually acquiring maturity and wisdom,
And in a world of mature and wise people,
The power structure our corrupted brothers and sisters created will be overthrown,
And the dream world we hold dear will finally become a reality one day.

I am wondering where is true love..
Once I lost love.. And it was painful..
I was thinking of that..was it true love
Might be not
If you love somebody seriously, you need to be patient sometime
That is also from love.
And you can try to make good relationship with that
Love is patient from kindness
Kindness is from love
Understanding also from love
Being helpful also from love
And forgiveness
It is not easy to find these..
We need to be seeker if you want
But if you deserve to get true love,
God will give us
Trust it
Pray for it
For our true happiness
And polish your heart
Our happiness is from only true love
But I still do not know where is my true love
I’ll pray quietly..

He took a puff
Turned his head to me
Leaned in and
Exhaled into my mouth
He said “give me your tongue “. I did

when heart is shattered
eyes are moist
words beings to fall
silence reigns

when hands are cold
feets are frozen
fear takes over
fate stops me

When the sky is gloom
wind is howling
way is unclear

when whimper is loud
dreams are dry
hopes are faded
laughter is faint

All I need is you
I need your shoulder
your spark
your voice
your peace
All I need is you

I remember long ago when worries were few
Everyday was brand new
I was happy as could be
When I knew me

And the world kept lying
And the world kept trying
Telling me I had to be
Someone else

And how strange now it seems
I forgotten so many things
Like the feeling of being free
When I knew me

You didn't know me back then
And that was when
I could have made your heart skip from California to Tennessee
When I knew me
