Failing to possess
undeviating qualities
Railing as they obsess
retaliating anomalies
Demonstrating abilities
observed, are unlikely
Estimating hostilities
served contritely
Lucidity inconsistent
appearing manic
Clarity nonexistent
fearing similarity
Novelty an avalanche
ideas essential qualities
Solidly indefiniteness
of all meaning modesty
Simplicity, transparency
harmony of variety
Brilliancy of consistency
Illuminates notoriety
Complicity of humanities
with a pure naïveté
You wonder, as I wonder
Where you are, where you are, where are you
You ponder, as I ponder, I slumber
Where You Are, where are you
Seen seeing intervisions fade
Failed religions pray
Prayers to God a man-made cult
Through provocating humanities
Taken they have gone from home
Now they're torn
Gone too far eyes on the Stars
Open eyes carries pearls
...of no regrets ?
Hearts have taken deaths?
I digress!

Life
One day’s light
A teary delight
Love
A warmth embrace
Contains the space
Unity
The souls entwine
Under the divine
Loss
Broken, wasted away
Boundaries don’t stay
Alone
Choices made wrong
You are gone.
Death
Reflect on yesterday
Before passing away

Humanities clock ticks, time moves forward
Man's ego drives him to make foolish decisions
Great wars were fought
Bloody battles raged
Each gave way to a new and more frightening age
With hatred and greed, prejudice the norm
Each one breeding and intense firestorm
As we stand poised on the threshold an uncertain future
We must examine the present and its current direction
As time moves forward we must remember the past
And heed all of it warnings if mankind is to last
HUMANITIES REALITIES
The morality rate is at an all-time low
Disparity runs ramped in the streets
The reality of it all screams out "NO"
While everyone's volcanity seethes in heat
The fatality of decency, the mundanity of life
Lost vitality in heart, mind, body , and soul
The profanity we curse caused by pain and strife
Trying to think with a mentality like a 5 year old
The inanity of our Spirituality is cause for concern
Fearing the brutality of he who holds the keys
The formality in how we all just wait our turn
While people in urbanity walk around on their knees
The insanity of humanity, such a depressive state
Exhausting our veracity beating on one another
The criminality in our belief, the fires burn in hate
Glamourizing the totality of pitting brother against brother

I have yet the words
But I can hear myself nevertheless
Ever so silent but heard
Is mind and body irregardless?
I cannot hear myself say
Not even uttered unless structured carefully
Assuming everyone feels the same way
Can I assume humanities are all living foolishly?
I think... there are too much human beings
We conquer the world but we cannot live in harmony
I think being smart is being more stupid in world's means
Because being human means no humanity
I want to know what it means to be human
And I believe without a doubt... we have no answer
Dying everyday without an actual living reason
We are I who think I should survive better
I have no words
Why do I hear myself nevertheless
And silently... I heard
Human and humanities are irregardless
What does it mean to be human?
Are we just animals or evolving to become something more?
Are we victims to our basic instincts unable to push back and mature?
Do our passions control our minds or can our minds control our passions?
Is our intellect held ransom by our biology, millions of years in the making?
Can the passions of the animal be countered by our intellect and sentience?
Will society devolve back with our passions holding sway?
Can our intellect understand the animal, desire to move on, thus show us the way?
Was religion just a means of holding our passions in check holding the animal at bay?
Will our machines become sentient with no passions involved, with no hormones to befuddle?
Will they see us as flawed with no hope for redemption.
The battle rages on with no end in site.
The fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
Can you hear me reproduce
Good luck finding out the truth
I know you cannot see me
You'll never know where I'll be
You feed me well, so I grow
And in time you'll surely know
Eventually I'll be seen
And you'll try to intervene
By then I've done some traveling
Conquering and ravaging
But there is only one way
To try to keep me at bay
It will harm me this is true
But it also will harm you
I do my job very well
I've hijacked many a cell
I enjoy taking my time
Making what's yours into mine
I will win that's for damn sure
Most people call me

Seventeen cats are what we see.
Each one different to a degree,
Buddy, Mama, Peppy, and Le-Pew,
These are what, we named a few.
Seventeen cats, now what to do.
How to feed them, we had no clue,
They are Ferrell, wild and scared.
Scrapping, for food they appeared.
Six big, seven little, four just born,
Hungry, lost, looking so forlorn,
Feeding them is definitely a chore.
Now, oh so many trips to the store,
We have no choice, we feed them all.
Unfortunately, they are sick, we saw.
One walks away, into the woods, alone.
Never to be seen again, Natures condone.
More and more leave, at different times.
What a shame, they did no crimes.
Animals are our, precious humanities guild.
Without any compassion, humanity cannot build.
Humanities... simply all there is
The grace of us all... the sins we hide
To another we never fail to please
How is it... there be a need to die?
Shall death come ever so eventually
Yet the need for all else ever so necessary
Why have we grown so regardlessly?
Simply for the sake of holy humanity
Enough rules I knew to live by
Yet I barely have enough for myself
Laws in accordance to abide
When... in time of humanities did I fell?
Need not money to matter even
Simply to one another and nevermore
And hell have I my reasons...
Humanity remains... all there is to recall
To grace us with... shall never will
Of sins we need commit shall be forgiven
Grievances from one to another never fails
Simply the need for another be made broken
A lot of the problems we face in our lives
are caused by too many excesses.
The state of things in the world today
cause too much stress and distress us.
Only through Christ and the power of prayer
can we conquer the things that opresses us.
Keep faith in God and trust in His might
to clean up humanities messes.
Stretching, far as my eyes can see in the night sky,
Thousands and thousands of spaceships float by.
Again and again this dream taunts me, with no cry.
I have no delusion; I know this is a dream so dry.
Rolling across, heavens as in motion picture mode.
Was this an omen or just my mind, or some code?
Alien spaceships, different shapes and preparations,
Yes they continually traveled in parade formations.
To the stars I look at in infatuation and dismay.
Our destiny unclear, no aliens exist they say.
The stars have always had amazement and intrigue.
Hear my plea and thoughts without any fatigue.
Each day, discovering other species, beyond our league,
Stars are just another ocean to be examined even more.
Traces of life have already been found on our measly tour.
Arrogance is just a disease to portray, we are alone for sure.
Reality is, the most nearest planets, we should not ignore.
Serve not to abandon our journey, it is humanities door.
