It's all
Equally nothing
The appearances of
Somethings may bring
Stories of inequality..
But the somethings
Are nothing
It is all
Equally nothing..
A sigh of freedom
May arise...
Many can smile
But not all smiles are created equally
A smile
A shadow of the soul
In reality some smiles are cold!
Smiling depression is something
We need to break free of because
Too often we keep our depression private!
A smile can cover up the shame
A smile can lift up your name
A smile can brighten up the day
A smile can hide away the pain
Many can smile
But not all smiles are created equally

Poetry is so distant thus
to be so close,
so close to be distant
equal fire and ice
both burn...
one hot,the other cold... !
If only everyone were treated equally. If we all saw the same color, no one would b profiled racially. No one would die for looking differently. If only everyone were treated equally, men and women with the same degree would b making the same financially. More men and women would get promotions and have a better salary so they can be able to support their family.If we were treated equally the ghetto wouldn't be deadly and there would b more friends than enemies, More celebrations than deaths in the community. If we were treated equally there wouldn't be so many fatalities or broken families. We would help each other, instead of judge and belittle one another.If we were treated equally the innocent wouldn't b guilty, and the rich wouldn't be greedy. Everyone would have a heart and help the needy. The world is not perfect but if we were treated equally it would be a place where every color is beautiful on a face no matter the race. A place where only love exist and hate is erased.

Why life has to suffer these innumerable pain to Herculean death, the
Market of souls prestigious concise with crystal cry, ambiances where
People glorify which guarantee not any soul to solve it galaxies of answers.
The sweetness of life is light flash with strong pulses not to be trusted
to truth of defiant men and women in this skeletal world the denial of love
Among families shaded ink drop.
Dozens of lives have been drank like imagination in these senseless wars
Engulf the world, the shape of the night with sleepless mums wallowing in
Their worlds full of imagination and despicable memories to the loss of their beloved heroes.
The alphabetical they taught their kids full of funneled despotic hands
Suggesting who will stretch through the night for answers that haven't
Colored it base of realization, since nails are the only options they have
And will have all the time to the time being.
There will always be another sequel
Remember the wheels, spoken by Ezekiel
Its spinning around in your head
Make peace and love instead
I am not talking about Barney and Fred
Nor am I talking about Wilma in bed
Um, speaking about that Yin and that Yang
You see it’s a spiritual thang
In Eyes of God Equally Seen
I am sure there are pages after pages
Of names of those being so courageous;
A mixture of many women and men
Who off to serve country we did send.
Some alive will never return back
When we do see dawn's early crack
We had longed for all their presence
Of those that were loved in every sense.
Goose bumps appeared and heart throbs
For safe return of soldiers and also gobs
Who had nobly served American country
To make much safer for you and me.
So what more should I have to say
Except now as I will humbly pray
God, bring them back safe and sound
Home again on this hallowed ground.
Around countryside each soul do scatter
Color, race and creed make no matter
We now know what God does mean
In His eyes we all are equally seen.
James Serious Mysterious Horn
Marriage is a momentous prospect
for two people bound up in love
being united together feeling aglow
leaning on each other as well as above
Well how deep is both your love?
deep enough to want each other
so much to live together all of life
this proves if one’s right for one another
My marriage is one of joy and love
sharing with each other what inspires most
they are ups and downs along the way
whatever happens always have tea and toast
This love of ours changed since we wed
it’s matured to a deeper level so very real
now we understand each other so intimately
having so many memories to cherish and seal
God provides in His authorative word
lessons and instructions to do His will
learn faithfulness loving each other
glorify Him together hands held still
Think of it this way
All illnesses make our body sick
Some can kill you others just make you just miserable for a while
All need healing
The same can be a state of sins
Some sins can cause us to lose our eternal lives
Others just delay our entry to Heaven
The makes a distinction between mortal and venial sins
The same can be a state of sins
Some sins can cause us to lose our eternal lives
Others just delay our entry to Heaven
The makes a distinction between mortal and venial sins
Mortal sin is a deliberate
Intentional
Or on purpose turning away from God
His laws
Mortal sin is to must be a grave
Or serious choice against God
Sinner must be aware of how bad it is but choose to do it anyway
On the other hand
venial sin is falling short of our obligations to God
Others without completely turning from God
It is like loitering
wait
Or hang about the road to heaven versus taking one that leads away from it
The good news is that no matter how lost we get
God will always take us back through the Sacrament of Reconciliation orunderstanding (Confession).
I put everything out on the table to see,
To be honest, that doesn't matter to me,
I've been through worse than a dent in the fender,
My hearts crashed and burned but God put me back together,
I don't give credit to anyone but him,
And I look at everyone equally who's inspired from within,
The man on the street corner, or the man at the pulpit,
God placed in my life at the moment on purpose,
We are all unique and special in his eyes,
Because it is in his eyes where the inspiration lies,
He brings us together through his loving hands,
You do not need stature to love and understand,
Your ears to listen, your eyes to see,
Your heart open to love unconditionally.
This is happiness on a new level, I never thought I would see it but threw faith I always believed that it wasn't some fictitious dream, and here I am getting exactly what I prayed for, you're the very reason I'm glad no one I was getting to know ever worked out, and why it never really hurt me to turn my back on them with no regrets but when I think about you, my best friend, the one who God predestined me to be with I feel blessed, because even when I turned my back and didn't think it was possible, you kept pushing even though you were dealing with the most you didn't let those obstacles blind you from what you seen in me. I find myself just looking at you sometimes and I think, God got it right, if I had a wish list of the perfect lady for me you are it, happily ever after is all I see in our future it would do something to me emotionally if I was to ever lose you, q we been threw these last three years were just preparing us for the moment we're both loving right now, so I want to let you know how much I appreciate you and how I would love for us to be husband & wife under God's law both equally bound.
this passage contains coverage
for the purpose of survival
where to turn next is not known
this sewer contains drainage
for the purpose of pure release
what to burn next is not yet determined
this heart contains usage
for the purpose of nothing
how to fix what is left is still pending
I'm torn between two
By night I'm in love with the Moon
Morning beckons my other lover to come
By day I'm in love with the Sun
My heart can't decide
For it's equally torn
I can promise to give each a half
But i can't give one a whole
By night I'm in love with the Moon
By day I'm in love with the Sun
One is gentle and patient
His love for me is like the tides, always constant
The other is strong and passionate
His love burns like fire and i can't come too close to it
I'm torn between two and i can't decide
By night I'm in love with the Moon
By day I'm in love with the Sun
Blood stains on my hand
though I never touched a gun,
every bullet fired
splashes blood on both our hands,
each death leaves a scar in heart!
'Dedicated to those deaths which can be avoided,which make us feel sinner'
