The Harsh Reality of Truth

(“Eye of God”, 2018, original encaustic mixed media)

The Harsh Reality of Truth

The harsh reality 
Is people get what they deserve,
But it can be confusing
‘Cause you don’t always know
If it was for something you know you’ve done
Of something you did long ago
In a different life, body, time and place.

In the end
Sooner or later
The equation of Life
Works

More I try, more I cry

In just a day,
I lost my father, my mum,
and my only two siblings,
I became the only member of my family:
  my own father,
    my own mother,
     my own siblings.
I was left to s~w~i~m the ocean a l o n e...
I was like the only spared t^r^e^e of

The Crushing Crash

I got crashed; I became crashed;
There must be some reason;
I endured when I was lashed;
Still, all slandered me of treason.

I get flown by the Pilot,
Who, too, succumbed with me;
Tooth and nail he had fought,
But who won was destiny.

It’s a world that’s too strange,
Of course, in the negative way;
Slaughter is beyond my range;
I can’t even think

Beauty And Wealth

They call it a win
when a wealthy man pushing thirty
wants a pretty girl who's barely eighteen.
A girl still learning the shade of her own skin
still waking up from childhood dreams
But it doesn't matter,
what matters is
she looks good beside him.

They tell her she's lucky
Because he chose her
and he'll provide
Because she's young
and that's Currency
Because her skin is

Life's Harsh Truth

Speed's blur, spotted grace,
Eyes locked, a chase begins now,
Swift kill by Cheetah.

Harsh Winter Shows No Mercy

All empty streets are paved with sleet,
it's not cold enough for a snowfall;
the cheek-boned guy is seeking a place to sleep,
he has found shelter in a warm corner down the hall!

We expect some heavy snow, don't be caught cold; 
power outrage is a possibility, buy candles
and stack up on food and check on friends;
mental health

Who am I?

No one waits for me outside patiently,                                                

Harsh Cold Winter

It’s a harsh cold winter
You’re gone and I’m so bitter
I sat front-row seat
As I watched our love wither

Heart gouged by the splinters
You’ve silenced your ringer
And my feelings for you
Oh, they still linger…

It’s a harsh cold winter
Choked sobs and silent whimpers
Sparks of love burned out
Leaving ashes and cinder

Sleepless nights
Bottles of whiskey 
Skipped meals 
My love, do

Harsh truth

I don't like people saying they wouldn't really spin the time from,
..
..
I realized something.
I always want to spin the time from where I was in 8th grade,
Not to change how I was behaving,
Because this is what made me happy and brought me joy,
I was so innocent that I didn't notice, I want to be like

A harsh lesson to learn concerning others

No matter how much time you have to help others,
No matter how many resources you have to help others,
No matter how many favors you call in to help others,
No matter how many ideas you can come up with to help others,
There is a harsh lesson we must all learn about others,
It is not often you

Desert Thorns

Desert thorns that sting.
Careful desert animals. 
Both have great instinct,
Finding safety together.
Not permanent for either.

The Measureless Motion

The river flows on,
Though there are murky forests
On its either side.

Harsh Habit

Harsh habit, too hard to break 
Judging raw is a big mistake 
Always finding lice on people's head 
Live a life of your own instead

Harsh Storm

Harsh storm / great floods blow
Crashed hill / drenched fields flow
Blocked light / dark town prays
Faith cheered / peace* brings glow

*John 16:33 These things I (Jesus Christ) have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Sacred

Harsh area to grow up
     charming views for waking up
along sacred land.

               Exposed to chances
         fed by honorable pride
