The System

What really gives me such a red behind
Is fighting the system for something that's mine
They give you a hard time with this unemployment
But it belongs to me I worked for it and earned it
You have to do job searches jump through hoops
Deal with overcrowded offices and hop through loops
You have to file every week and pray nothing's missing
There really need to be a change in this system

I have this friend her kids are rude and out of control
But how do you let your children run your household
I am talking about minors and teenagers
who laugh when she wants to put her life in danger
Scared to take control in fear of going to jail
Here we go again another system that fail
You can't punish your kids like you use to
Because now they will use the system agaibst you
When the system can be taken advantage  of by a child
Thing must change now someway somehow


FOR OUTRAGEOUS RHYME CONTEST

Change, Yes We Can

To life and God, my quest again, I shall bow to thee.
Be not molded the same, nor alike to play the same games.

Tolerance is all we need, for thou art gave all eyes to see.
Thy heart bleed thy river red, as thy knife pain always feel the same.

Our knowledge thirst the same, thy will to succeed and plant thy seeds.
To be home with thou in-kind, not to be judged or cast out for our differences.

Know thy neighbor has their own right to be and shall always be in harmony.
Thou shall bow, respect and give thy space, no need to change thy grace.

Tolerance shall be thy guide, thy inspiration, to lead our given path.
No need to change thee, for thou do this same thing for me.

Together in tolerance we will take thy Earthly stand.
The change shall be thy will, and change will be thy attitude, thy gratitude.

For the safety and the sake of all man, together we must work it out.
To build a more humble society, built in peace and prosperity, yes we can!

In memory of Martin Luther King Jr. and in
Honor of our new President Barrack Obama

Future Declaration

On a mission greater than myself,
Thinking of the greater future an nothing else,
Spending time relinquishing the old system,
For reconstruction,
For the beauty which may stem,
Binding through confusion,
So clarity can be the guide,
Pardon for the declaration,
The declaration of future life,
Of unity and tranquility,
Of community and the decease of hostility,
Through the change we should celebrate,
For saying good bye to history,
And hello to the future the new world will create,
What will lie ahead is mystery,
However the obstacles ahead are fate,
That will lead us to our slate,
Cherish our children for they are blessed,
To see the future at it’s best,
There is no end to the life,
Just a change that will end the scalding knife.


Cold Fray

I'm feeling so cold,
I take it in with each breath I hold.
As I sigh to exhale all this pain,
But my soul has strayed.
Now I walk alone towards brighter skies,
With just these tattoos engraved by my knife,
The same one I used to make myself bleed
Just so I could be free......

I want to change just like the wind,
Blow me in a direction away from my sins.
And I want to change with the seasons beginning with fall.
so I could leave the cold behind me and love a new warmth.

Change

I sit alone infront of the window
I only think about myself
My life, My future, My own
Are like a book on My shelf

The angry winds come by hitting my face on its own
Asking me  to be a brand new
The bird comes whisper in my ear, to change my hair to change my style
Then i think and i want to be a new me, who can see the real view

I need to change, i need to be another person who can say a thing and do
i need to be more confident, i want to be looked at day and night
i want to be arrogant, i want to show the world that there is me
i want be a princess that is not waiting for a prince or a knight

The night comes im still sitting infront my window
The Angry winds calm down and make me smile somehow
The birds are sleeping and everything around is quite and peaceful
But, my mind is busy, still thinking am i going to change now?!

A Powerful Individual.

There is a voice in my head 
That calls from a distance
Be still, listen
Remember tomorrow is another day 

A reason to focus a chance to change the future
A powerful individual has the strength to change all things
Believe in yourself you have the power to reach your alter mate goal.

Get to know yourself accept who you are
Believe you have the ability to achieve
Be brave.


Chances

Its hard to let another in
You are hesistant to be you
You are used to how horrible life has been
The truth is: Even when you think it's going to get bad
and you won't know what to do
things always get better in the end
I hope life doesn't hit me hard
I've been through too much pain emotionally
I want to go far far away
and
prove WHO I'm supposed to really be
I am to change what's bad
Over time I/we will wait and see
I am to change my old ways of accepting
hurt as it happens
No more pushing away those who have been patient with me
No more keeping my heart closed aimlessly
No more...I'm letting go of what the PAST has done
It's NOW that matters and what's to come

"pride"

Pride makes us do crazy things...
We keep thoughts inside and never sing...
A simply word or two could change a day...
But that stupid pride seems to have its way...
If we can change an emotion, that might just be one...
To never walk away angry and carry regret like a ton...
The best we can do is maybe just swallow a little pride..
And maybe next time all those feelings we won't hide...
