If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

21 poems·Since July 2014

Humanity must unify by looking past, and accepting each other's differences. I am the writer for the people. I want to help people not because I expect something in return, well in theory I do, but I require nothing but people's passion to help shape this world in a positive way, so that all might have a chance and to end unnecessary suffering. There's so much work to be done and so much has been done, but the fight will never be over. Art has ended civilizations and it's time for us to unite as humans of one species, for one cause, and that is for peace.

Days Like This

July 17, 2014

Days like this, I look up in amazement

We are the shadows in the light just playing

Wandering around aimless, with the perceptions

We are creating; we are the figment of our imagination

We are all human

We are all different

Our differences bring us together as humans

Wielding blades and shields, clashing with opinions

Creating alibis just to condition the children

Others speaking in tongues trying to mold the system

Politicians accepting corporate donations

To push absurdities through legislation

The system will never die, society is insane

Cut the head off the chicken; let him run in pain

Wherever the blood spills, that is where

We will go to get our oil filled

Once we run the planet dry, then what?

Throughout history people only care

When it comes to blood

And I refuse to sit stagnant, while this planet burns like Rome

And we are all Nero watching it

The influence of an action depends on the intention

Once lies leak into the truth, we’re faced with corruption
