A thousand cuts
Severing of ties with our allies.
Court orders blatantly defied.
Plans to privatize, those federal
agencies now downsized..
Green card holders traumatized..
A thousand cuts.
A thousand bleeds.
Our wounded democracy falls
to it's knees,,
Lawyers and judges receive death threats.
Freedom of speech being suppressed.
Deportation with out due process.
Defunding colleges and PBS..
A thousand cuts.
A thousand bleeds.
Our democracy hemorrhages.
Our rights recede, as we
sleep walk into

ACHE OF A THOUSAND SUNS
A thing that yearns in constant devour,
And finds itself to be a constant sour,
Totally dissolute… and an accumulation of none,
Is the thing that burns, at a constant run.
For the thing is… in all its effortless glory,
The ache of a thousand suns.

A Thousand Words
I could sit here and take up your time.
Fill your mind with a thousand words.
I could breathe the life and pain that I have witnessed into you.
I could stare you in the eyes and ask for help…
But when you ask, people don't believe it.
When you reach out people don't understand.
So instead today I will sit

Eyes Speak A Thousand Words
It's all in the eyes
You will know the truth
Tears cannot lie how much
Pain the heart express inside
How deep is the longing
You see how weary the eyes is
The response of the opposite
Meet the eyes that speak sympathy
Sparkling eyes speaks ecstasy
A joy unspeakable, an embrace lock
A lonely eyes suggest kindness
Need tight embrace for empathy
An angry eyes ignite

A thousand thanks
Though spring has come, my heart still feels the way,
We still struggle, but we are unable to do anything.
Let me say a thousand thanks on the "Gratitude Day,"
To the creator who created us from nothing today!
Through frost and storms, we'll endure the strife.
For bringing light into this world, my life,
Spring won’t last forever; winter will

Let a thousand flowers bloom
‘Pon taxpayers a tad more trust,
On tax kitty a tad less lust,
Tax that dulls no young dream,
Gathers cream just from brim,
Tax too shy to assume,
Lets thousand flowers bloom,
A tax is no broom to clean dust.

A Thousand-Year Longing
Crunching the frozen ground beneath my feet,
I wade through snow, soft and white, endlessly deep.
The golden sun reflects on this snowy embrace,
And armfuls of joy fill my gaze with grace.
The blue sky, the sun's light, so clear and bright,
Where have the dark clouds vanished from sight?
My eyes cannot hold the brilliance, they shy away,
As the

The Power of a Thousand Rising Suns
The Power of a thousand rising suns
Do I feel the power of a thousand rising suns
Over a blazing sky when the day has just begun
Do I touch the sky on a blue never ending
As I chase the sun wanting a day unending
I wonder if my dreams are still flying free
Whilst others feast on things

A Thousand Cuts
Like ancient rivers carved in stone,
These marks tell tales of storms now flown,
Of battles fought when night was long,
Of learning, slowly, to belong.
These faded paths upon my skin
Speak not of where I've fallen, but where I've been—
Each one a chapter, not an end,
A reminder of my power to mend.
They whisper now of distant days,
Of how

A Thousand Miles To Go
A thousand miles to go and a dollar to my name.
A chip upon my shoulder right next to all the blame.
I’m running from the future, I’m running from the past.
I may be going nowhere but I’m going to get there fast.
Heading toward the mountains, find a cave where I can hide.
I told her I’d be

can't lie - died a THOUSAND times
Her and I, can’t lie, felt good inside
She and I, can’t deny, felt something died
It was like it was meant to be and I see us together clearly
Hopefully, we would all be set free before life’s catastrophe
Eventually, you and I will see each other and who knew…
I messed it up and think of you still

Guess who just received a thousand text messages
Guess who just received a thousand text messages
Saying how they are sorry for cheating
And want to get back together
How they’re sorry for the side chicks
How they’re sorry for hitting the brick
How they were in a relationship with 3
How they slept with 3 times 3
Guess who received a thousand texts messages
….
…My ex
