Your Actions, Their Scars
Don't play the victim, don't wear the frown
You're the one causing harm, spinning others down
Bullying, harassing, spreading fear and pain
You're the problem, not the one to claim
Don't shift the blame, don't point the finger high
You're the one acting out, passing by
Think before you speak, think before you act
Your words and actions leave a lasting fact
You're

The silence of black innocence
What should be an atmosphere of excitement
Becomes something more deadly - more violent
A child's first sound should be heard
Instead silence echoes
Even before life began
A black baby understands
That in order to survive the world outside
Their cries should be kept on the inside
How painfully sad
That before it's existence
It inherited generational silence

Karma Dogma
If intent and actions
are cause and effect
and influence the future
what you give is what you get
and yet
what about children
caught in the crossfire
when very young
murdered in man's mire
they have not yet begun
to live
and love is all they have to give
so much for karma
symbolised by the lotus flower
but whereabouts is it
in their most needed hour
forsaken by fortune
they

UNIVERSE
The universe is a stage and we are the actors, actors that have no idea.
No idea, that we are entertainment, that others watch as we act.
Act like no one is watching, yet they are all laughing and having a good time.
We were created to entertain, the one above loves us to tears,

Volcanic Eruption Of The Soul
Words both good or bad are very powerful,
bad words said are like a volcanic eruption to the soul.
Why do family and friends hurt each other,
do they not understand what it does to the other person ~
volcanic eruption of the soul takes place.
These painful words and actions are like hot lava,
hot lava running out from ones

Present
Was angry at something
Played football
Alone among the hiding birds
The evening sky
Coughing colors
Allergic to the grey forms
the factories cause
My mind lazily
grazing upon the
festicied crops
I guess this is
What present looks like
No one gives a at all
Building skycrapers
Above our heads
One earthquake,
And it all falls....

Do You
Do you ever hold yourself accountable,
or only measure the aftermath, never the cause?
Do you notice when my love fades,
yet stay blind to the weight of my unhappiness?
Do you see my worth in the dreams I build,
or only in the distance I keep?
Do you recognise the effort in the little things,
or do they slip past, unnoticed?
Do

LOSING IT ALL
I'm losing it
All of me is fading away
My good heart
Strong mind
My sense
Because people ain't getting it
People's actions driving me insane.
The world
Making me crazy
Many are so lazy
Hurting another
To be happy
Betraying each other
For temporary substance.
How do you feel?
When it's not you
It amuse you
Making you better
When it's you!
It Breaks you
Leaving you bitter.

Actions Says A Lot
Do you think life as you know it/
Is all that exists/
Wow... you are blind to think that/
When God says no God before him/
Is God admitting there's other Gods/
This life has consequences/
We really are judged/
When we leave this life/
Whatever God you believe in/
You are judged by your actions/
You are judged by your heart/
Your actions says a

Am I Wrong?
I told you how I felt,
but you'd twist it to arguments,
and now I wonder is it
worth speaking at all?
I stand here, weighing it up
respect and distance,
I've been matching what you give,
but when the lines blur,
I begin to pull away.
No one's coming to save me,
I've known that for a

my aliens actions
Mary’s behavior is bizarre to most
not to me, her favorite earthly host
bread on your nose is what aliens do
as is painting dark elm tree limbs light blue
her planet is seen at two a.m.
She likes to watch it from my son’s playpen
her actions might seem odd to little old you
but she does what all good aliens

Calling out your Farce
The Lies you tell me and then tell yourself
the way you act as a victim in your own web of hell
and if I call out your horse- , you will blame and throw a fit
you cut me with your behavior and words and then don't expect me to bleed
you then

Unresolved Echoes
What a surreal feeling, diving into one's murk
never realized that it comes at a cost
'your actions will have consequences'
Heard so often, yet never pondered
these thoughts and feelings ache my heart
that I could feel my mind burn
what a montage I have built
reimbursing the tax on demand
paying my dues for what I have done
Regret, guilt, and
