At first we hid in our human shells,
Frail lanterns flickering in the dark,
A few still slipped through unseen doors,
Wings beating toward a brighter mark.
But soon the skies were sealed with stone,
The stars withdrew their silver keys,
We found ourselves confined to earth,
Like birds in branches without leaves.
Mars once bloomed with rivers clear,
Venus sang in a golden air,
Yet both were broken, hushed by fire,
By hands too old, too proud to care.
So here we dwell on soil and sea,
Prisoners bound by time’s command,
Dreaming of worlds that slipped away,
Ruins buried beneath the sand.
Yet still the blossoms burn with light,
And rain restores the weary ground,
The wind is free though we are not,
It lifts our hearts with airy sound.
For though the stars are far above,
And chains of history bind us fast,
The earth is more than bars and walls—
It offers beauty that can last.
If we must stay, then let us sing,
And love the hour before it dies,
For even prisons hold their grace,
And earth still mirrors paradise.
Things Evolve
Miracle Man

All that mankind can do to slow change
Is a mere inconvenience to God?
Though we may dig our heels in and resist it,
change began with life itself.
Some change evolves from God,
While the remainder is man induced.
Within this, I see two types of change,
meaningful change (which I embrace)
and change just for the sake of changing.
(This where my heels dig ruts.)
Change in my / wife’s lives, four things are considered.
Does it make our lives better / easier?
Is it cost effective?
How many will benefit?
Is something else neglected?
We don’t buy new Tech every year
just to keep up with latest fad.
I suppose that is what age does to a person.
Have a great day!
Jesus loves you.
I am Human
I am complex in my nature,
And unmethodical.
I can appear aimless, but eventually suprise you when I reach mountain tops.
And the sweetness you see can be decieving
Rest assured bitterness may be hiding
In secret places within me.
I may be friendly today, then arrogant in a decade
And that will still be me.
I constantly grow,
I constantly evolve,
Like a chameleon I instantly change with my environment.
Just a warning, Never say you know me.
I may allow you to know,
what I want you to know.
And unfold only what gives me peace,
I may deny you the satisfaction to see what eats down my spine.
I roll like seasons,
perhaps with treasons.
However, never lie to yourself
and Say "you know the other"
For, reality is "the only person you can dare to entirely circumscribe
or rather cognize is yourself"
Not me, Not another
For I am human,
and as humans we are all unpredictable.
we are extraordinary living beings
And involuted
I try and try to do my best,
Focus on my faults,
To change the way I walk this quest,
The way I do this waltz,
I watch my step, try to perfect,
I slip, I trip, I fall,
Stand back up, stay erect,
I flip, no grip, I stall,
Every moment a new obstacle,
Have to learn the steps,
Practice, be methodical,
Working on the reps,
Eventually I can change my habits,
Keep my flaws in view,
Polish, cut, and shine my facets,
Pressure bleeding through,
I have to leave this chrysalis,
Emerge a brand new man,
Destroy my inner incubus,
Transform my entire plan,
I can stand above my past,
Leave it all behind,
Molten metal, new future cast,
Time does not rewind.
Embrace the strife,
Reinforce the life,
Remove the knife,
Love my wife.
Be a better man.
Once alive physical comprehended
Hurt sorely missed not understanding this
No longer submission physically
Available miss you ever-so, bye
-beloved you've evolve

*Today, 28th your birthday arrived*.
Wearing a bathrobe and my hair wrapped around standing infront of the bathroom door and waiting during the time Ticks.
Tick, Tack, Tick, Tick, 0:00o'clock
My hand shaking and refusing me to, clicked quick on the "send".
Sitting at my table during homework and realizing: ,,isn't today his birthday?", my hands stopped me to continue putting my handohones on.
Looking at the wall, the clock hanging and me whispering.
Tick, Tack, Tick, ,,two minutes", tick, tack, tick, ,, one minute" , tick, tack, tic- ,,0:00 o'clock".
Qucikly I putted my headphones on and went ahead with my homework.
Today was a good day I thought, I was really excited to go to training today but well, first ofcourse school.
Packed my stuff and went in the classroom.
,,Yooo, isn't your birthday today? Happy Birthday bro!",
Oh, I forgot
I finally forgot.
Think,
Evolve
when walking,
take the right way,
You have the chance once,
one way ticket,
buy the best
for you,
One
I have B negative blood
If my blood type is unknown of where it started from and it doesn't match monkeys as a positive blood type which is 85% of the whole world, then this proves we did not evolve from monkeys well I didn't, lol monkeys do not have negative types of blood they are all positive blood types. A negative mother cannot give birth from a farther who has a positive blood type unless a doctor gives her treatments.
What's left?
God
''Hello, Goodbye''
More to come
Less Imma take
Sure to go
Sure to go
Away from the life of limp
Taking off, won’t hesitate
Quick you know
Quick you know
Don’t take the mind of me
I’m no longer meant to wait
Going on now
Going on now
You slow, move to the side
I got moves to make
Don’t slow me down
Don’t slow me down
We ain’t friends we ain’t foes
Passabyers in the mist
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
If you can’t give what I give;
denying reciprocity, then I insist
Fly right on by
Fly right on by

He tried to be good,
Equally to everyone.
“How foolish he is!”,
The comment came in return.
Has man evolved fully yet?

So, man evolved from an ape
Then took over Earth’s landscape.
Soon was head of the food chain
All others treated with distain
Man went on to rule the Earth
But soon became more than his worth
So was destroyed by floods and war
And forgot all that went before
Mankind re-started with blank pages
And so, began the real Dark Ages
Only now re-learning the old ways
But will mankind see better days?
Nothing new is invented now
We just re-discover the old know-how
All inventions for the good of war
Yes, I know, we’ve been here before
History just seems to keep revolving
There is no chance of man evolving
For it seems mankind’s intention
Is to be imprisoned in this dimension
I want my children to forever be
Living in peace and harmony
I want down below to be as above
A land of eternal light and love
Alas, we seem to be making the same mistakes
If extinction again, is what it takes
I think that it would much better be
If man did not evolve beyond the chimpanzee
As it stands, it is hard to deny
There is not much future for you and I
Unless mankind can be awoken
And get this vicious cycle broken

I am the son of man
DAMN!
This cruel cruel and virulent race
I am the son of man
DAMN!
Destroying this beautiful place
I am the son of man
DAMN!
Waging war and killing the innocent
I am the son of man
DAMN!
We need to change and go into recovery
To be a race we can be proud of
That lives in harmony and peace
We need to transcend and to evolve
So our spirits can finally be released
From this self created suffering.
Celestial synchronicity,
Experiencing its prodigy,
Whatever is happening to me?
Shifting my phychology,
Portal between two worlds,
Reconnecting with astrology,
Other worldly beings,
Within a multidimensional curiosity,
It's all rising above as so,
Caverns of treasures paving a way to the unknown,
Testimonies of cities and vast oceans miles below,
Heavenly frequencies drossing out artificial negativity,
Recycling the divinity of 11:11 infinity.

I selected silence
I was elected for solace
I learned a word
I moved towards a deed
I found a path
I reached out to a destination
I absorbed patience
I received promotion
I observed understanding
I achieved friendship
I applied commonsense
I earned solutions
I adopted trueness
I viewed peace
I prayed
I acquired power
I imbibed righteousness
I emerged as a person
I perceived kindness
I evolved as a true human
People, we are, and people evolve
Yet another mystery, overdue to be solved
If our views are predestined to, one day, change
Then proving our point, well it seems rather vain
I like to keep things, under my thumb
A predictable existence, nice and numb
I struggle to vouch for my current convictions
Knowing one day, I’ll coherently ditch them
If you don’t stand for something, for anything, you’ll fall
Tattooed by a sharpie in the handicap stall
and elsewhere, too, this quote, I’ve saw
But, people, we are, and people evolve
