If it's true -
Is it true that
Even the greatest sinner of them all
The devil ?
Can anyone, no matter how -
Can someone like me?
If they can yet become
Like that
If that's so -
Then is it true
Possibly truly know
Is it feasible.
Well if anyone wants to know if you can help me out ~with~ the flow
Then yes I want to go.
Even if it hurts to see.
I want to miss my kids
I want to see my hair no crumbs or cheese whiz
I want to enjoy healthy friendships
outings like camping and family things
me plus one for a change
I’m so tired of doing everything on my own
I’m always that single mom who’s alone
no partner, no man, just me,
Here I am
no other family, just a loner.
the judge me like a park perv with a *****
the way they look at me, like they pity me,
It was healthier than living with his violent mistakes
No sorry is good enough
When a man treats you worse than his stuff
Society sees a woman that can’t keep a man
They don’t see a woman strong enough to stand
Alone without allowing the disrespect to go on
Every carnival, every movie, every oil change, every bill I pay
Every flat tire every mile
every family photo a forced smile
the biggest lie ever sold
is too tell a woman she can have it all alone
she’s ripped apart shredded at each end
not knowing where she ends and the kids begin
night from day’
far from child's play
but something like a living nightmare
every lonely not long enough exhausted no rest day
The years have gone by
The scars never healed,
You still think you won
The fight on the field
Laughing and smiling
As I hit the ground,
With your fist in the air
I will not forget that sound
You beat me, bruised me
Hit my every nerve,
Now I hear you have gotten
Just what you deserve
To this day, I am grateful
To have ever known you,
Otherwise I might have been
The greatest bully, too.
Absolute
by Frank Daub
I have always dealt -- in absolutes.
I was educated in this way.
The greatest Man who ever lived
knew NIGHTIME -- from the day.
An absolute stands timelessly
above the doubt –
and tall.
Yet those who will not understand
Reject truth as a wall.
This is the greatest poem ever written
I am
You are
I am you
You are me
I want you
You want me
I am you
You are me
I am you
You aren,t me
I am not you
We are one
We are human
You are human
I am human
I am
You are
I
You
We are one
Can we still be recognized
Who would give a damn
We are documents, comprised
Nowhere woman, nowhere man
It turns out to be the same
About other people
Some of whom are quite insane
Voices loud, minds feeble
They can’t speak for me, I bet
But they do, regardless
It’s the greatest plan been set
To eliminate us.
No greater love than a mother’s
for her children
‘til the world saw a father’s for his son
the greatest lesson
the one we are here to learn
the only reason we are here
living this life
is love
love,
love,
love,
love,
love
love
love everyone you meet
whether they deserve it
whether they have earned it
because it is the only reason we are here.
Love sweet love
I’m getting a new computer tomorrow
I love my tech about as much as I love my boyfriend
It’s M5 chip, 10 CPUs, neural processors and GPUs
will mostly idle away as I grope for the right words
but they won’t show their impatience - no -
they won’t sigh and tap their shoes like a boyfriend.
I’m getting a new computer tomorrow
I’ll love it’s bright, starlight, smooth and flawless skin
maybe not quite as much as I do when I’m groping him
but I’ll sigh with delight as I run my fingers over its form
few things in life completely delight and please me
I know one or two - and one of them will be brand new.

A song for this:
Joburg jam by Pogo
Nobody by Kate Earl

*every year I trade in my Macbook Air for a new one, it only costs ~$250 so why not? That way I have the latest, greatest tech.
greatest gift of all
is the one that you give
from your heart *love*
He was the world's greatest poet
But you honestly wouldn't know it
He had the gift of the gab
But his works were dour and drab
He had an ego and would freely show it.
See the tent in Egypt and the refugees -
the carpenter, his wife and his son -
gathered in a peaceful moment,
though hunted and on the run.
A joyful scene one evening:
held up by the man’s gentle hands,
the toddler took his first stand
on the soil of the slave-maker’s lands.
One small step for a human,
more profound than Armstrong’s deed.
A giant leap for all mankind
made to fulfil our greatest need.
For that boy just kept on walking
all the way to the cross and His doom.
So much greater that God stepped on earth
than ever man walked on the moon.
The universe's greatest mistake
It knoweth not how to replicate
It marvels at man in his wake
The beauty he sees
Peering o'er the glimmering lake
How his mind moves from state to state
Love, hate, dream, and curiosities that consume.
His dispairs and glooming
Far seer of chances looming
On horizons his mind's eye perceives
Supplanting there his own destinies
At play in a sandbox given thee
From, and of his own mind,
He creates reality
Where most do stumble, blind
-What marvel, humankind
Who truly knows, the heart of God I ask,
for in knowing so, you took on quite a task.
All the things that’s been spoken, discerning the truth, from a lie,
to know what brings forth life, or causes us to die.
To live in this world, knowing Him, you see,
who are the children of God, who could they truly be.
The one’s who truly know God, took on the greatest task,
the most simplest, powerful questions, one could ever ask.
And God just wants us to know, just who we really be,
after all, we were created in His likeness, you see.
Those who will truly seek Him, He will found,
as they base their lives, upon that solid ground!
They will go through the battles, with a different sight,
knowing that inside them, is a spiritual fight.
They put their trust in Him daily, as they seek His face,
filled with tender mercy, walking in His Grace.
Shivering in the moonlight
I still stand ready to fight
They called it my greatest fail
But to me it was my holy grail
Demons dance in your eyes
Whispering familiar sweet lies
Regardless of how hard
I've come this far
Devious intentions made you feel over powered
But the truth is you're just a coward
Serenading parades like charades
While in your sleeves you hid your blades
How much blood has been lost
Because you didn't recognize the cost
Once star crossed lovers fate made us enemies
But it is only my heart that feels the freeze
The worst part is after all I've been through
I still shudder at the idea of what I have to do
So here I am ready to let it all go
There's just one thing I want you to know
They called it my greatest fail
But your love was my holy grail
But piercing the clouds is the moonlight
Because it's finally over...this fight
