Greed

Greed

We have war
and much death.
What is being
taken in a battle.
Means little.

How did we
get to this point.
Or maybe why
have we not grown
beyond this level.

More people
yearly come
out of poverty.
But why is anyone
really in poverty.

I cannot believe
with all that the have, have,
that the have nots
cannot be brought,
to the point of having??

Food would be nice,
and some water too.
And to not be killed
over a piece
of dirt.

But there we have
the root of it all
when you have
you want more,
at the cost of human life!

GREED!!

More social commentary today and with sadness of those killed on their journey to Mecca. RIP

when you left

when you left

the world is dull
the colors less vibrant
until all i can see is gray
and black and white;
i'm struggling to hold onto
the last bit of blue
because i know i won't see
it again for months;
my skin is red everywhere
except the faint pink lines
that are scattered on my body
but please don't try to help me
i like it this way.
the only yellow i see is
the dead flowers next to where
the two halves of my heart lay;
i know i shouldn't cry
but i'm scared of the dark
i just want to be where you are
where all the colors are

nice way of saying i wanna dieeee

Risks

Risks

have you ever danced with the devil
in the pale moonlight?
just to prove that they're wrong and you're right

have you ever smiled so hard
just to hide your pain inside?
cause you know nobody cares
and you don't want to lose your pride

have you ever felt the warm touch
of a person's sincere care?
or being swallowed by other emotions
other than your fear

jealously, greed and curiosity
there's a lot more to it
but it all leads to insanity

all these questions are left unanswered
it might not hurt you
but still you're left battered
bothering you everyday
but still you say you're okay

is this all for happiness?
should i endure it and keep hoping
or should i ask myself
what's my purpose of living

reunion day

reunion day

it's nice how we all came together
to have this reunion day
a lot has changed since we've seen each other
but some things never go away

eyes look toward the lesser blessed
without understanding of their soul
we think we know a lot about each other
but some things we will never know

disgust on faces and ***** looks
she will never be our kind
voices mutter words of judgment
from behind the defining line

a woman walks off into the rain
as a Cadillac pulls away
they will never know her pain
at least not on this reunion day

#sadness #judgment #poor #alienation

Lush

She will smash
every wine glass,
they are broken
but not her heart.

She will walk barefoot
from room to room
while her feet are bleeding,
but not her heart.

She will drink him up
until her body aches
and her head hurts,
but not her heart.
