Virginia Tech Massacre

Bodies hit the floor like raindrops,

Drops not numbered just seen,

Falling one after the other,

Falling down,

They hit the ground and dissipate,

Not there for long,

Why is not known,

But the bodies hit the floor one after the other,

Like rain in a storm,

Not numbered just seen.

Then gone.

If We Only Knew

If we only knew!

We are on the other side,
From when you lied,

If we only knew

That you were there to hide,
All the way on the other side,

If we only knew

When you’re going to make the big stride
To be my bride,

If we only knew

That you would leave me untied,
And untried,

If we only knew

That your pride would decied,
With the reside,

If we only knew

Pretty soon the reside would divide and collide,
Far out the wind would ride aside your pride with sounds of great divide?

If we only knew

To be careful when we misguide far and wide with just one direct tide

Along the world side, 

If we only knew

What to do when we are all through with nothing true,
Listening to all the dried up and fried minds of life died,
Alongside me and you,

If we only knew

Why we are eyed and spied, why they hide beside the relied and take pride in 
everything implied
Westside,

If we only knew

Why they only come around with high tide and subside the untied,

If we only knew

Why they hide the replied and rely on the untried for a wave guide,

If we only knew

Who was supplied with misguide to follow the flood tide and provide the war 
bride pool side
With everything lied.


Thanks for the ride 
Ill be seeing you on the other side...

Proud

One day a time ago,

There were the friend and foe,

This flew a plain in sight,

It broke the apprehension of light,

Then the skies flickered indigo,

On that September morning in the snow,


And as we listened on the radio,

Our hearts filled with vertigo,

Should we contest or should we fight,

It just does’t seem quiet right,

Now we sing our calypso,

On that September morning in the glow,


Now we all are anticipating the go,

Fly those birds row on row,

In the midst at night,

Our annihilation machines bomb till daylight,

Now we are all in gusto,

On that September morning in manifesto.

On a Life For Obvious Reasons

My heart sunk to the bottom
When I read all the comments you made to the other one,
You’re not over him,
And you won’t ever be,
I just wish I would have found this out earlier
That you give him the benefit of the doubt,
When all is lost and your heart plummets to the bottom,

Y are you so quite and indecisive of him,
You’re the one stuck with him for the next 4 years,
So open up,
Open me up to the final destination,
I want know about him and why you divide all of your attention on him,
I asked for all of you,
Not broken pieces here and there,
My question to you is, who are you to put me in this position of unhappiness?

Three words will just never be enough to undo all you said to me,
those little words are just words to me and they just blow away in the wind,
I’m stranded now and no ones going to ever be there to help me,
You said you’d be there forever but you had other plans,
Lusting the other one,
For things he doesn’t have and things he never will,
Things that me and you have but are going to be lost with the same three words.

When you have read to about here you’ll of see what truth is worth and forget in 
me,
But all was never here and you’ve been planning upon the request,
Homecoming is in five days and I think that’s enough time for you to really make 
the decision the next 4 years with him or forever with me,
Your only problem is 4years will seem an eternity to you.
You chose on a life for obvious reasons.

When!

when is there goin to be peace.

when is there goin to be love.

when is the world goin to stop fighting.



when is the air goin to be clean.

when will the water shimer.

when will the stars shine.

when are we goin to stop polluting.



when will poverty end.

when will we love eachother.

when will we share our money.

when will this end.



why do we stare.

why do we hate. 

why does our money disapere.

why wont anyone answer any of my questions.

when will i here from you....

when will this end.



why dont we do anything.

you can hate.

you can love.

you can help the world.


It only takes one to spread the virus.

lets infect this planet with the virus of love

the love to walk outside and just breath.

the love to look at what you helped to heal.

its rite there in front of you.

you just have to walk down the stairs and save it.



someone else is living cause you helped.

cause you joined the sick.

and you became healthy.



it takes one to spread the virus and thats what you did.

now is the time.

now the world is sick.

and when it heals it will never be the same.

so help spread the virus of love.

and SAVE our world!
