Family Ties
Brothers should I leave you
And travel life for years without you
And should I never return to our home
Remember it was I who journeyed alone
And should the time in passing
Bring me memories of regret
Should the entire world forget?
To search for you when you are missing
And so ask yourselves why
Why should my brother be leaving?
And why for so long has he wandered solitary
Never returning
Brothers on some momentary day spent wishing
Without recognition
By my side you where resting
And did not speak my name
And in all the land and cities seen
None of your faces have been
While our blood and our brotherhood meandered through foreign streets
Less than a thought away
And should I never greet you again
Before this departure had made its pact
Would you stand by my door?
Lest you be turned away
The cold trap of our families living
And the continuous undiscovered lie
It was
That kept my feet from turning
For so long and farewell you have lost me
And for more than years have you waited
This silent reminder beckoned to me
To remind me of you
“ It was in April of 91 that I first returned, after traveling and working abroad. My
knock on our old blue front door was not greeted with smiles, but with vexed and
unwelcoming eyes. On my back a rucksack, on my feet old worn boots. This was the last time
I saw our Father and these were his only words.”
“You can’t stay here.” He even repeated it to make sure I had heard.
“You can’t stay here.”
“ I did not know it then, as I know now; of the filth he has fated and intended to my
life. Yet ever his fear of discovery built his lies for me. My last words to him were
these……..
“Do you see these boots?” I asked, “they are more than five years old and the most
comfortable boots I have ever worn. That’s a pretty good life for a pair of boots don’t
you think?”
And with those boots and my rucksack on my back I walked away. Not for a moment did he ask
me to stay or offer a moments ease, a cup of tea, or inquire as to where I was heading.
There was no farewell as up the road and into a different life I went walking.
Brothers should I leave you
And travel life for years without you
And should I never return to our home
Remember it was I who journeyed alone
Forever and ever
the boy would live
a ghost who could never
himself forgive,
that day playing by the pool
he drowned
his small pale white body
his sister found.
His mother and father
screamed and cried
for their little angel
had so tragically died,
on his sixteen year old sister
was laid all the blame
now she torments herself
have the parents no shame.
But her pain he couldn’t
take away
and she grew paler
every day,
He tried to reach her
but he couldn’t
she started to do things
he knew she shouldn’t.
He tried to stop
her bleeding wrists
but the blood just flowed
through his small fists,
and every time
she cut herself
the little ghost boy
only blamed him self.
Eight years old
the day he died
his whole life he never
would have made her cry,
its all his fault that
her life was in flames
because no one else
would take the blame.
But he could do nothing
to make her life better
so with her blood
he wrote out a letter,
“I love you,” he wrote
on the wall
“It was never your fault
after all.”
The confused ghost boy
reached her too late
and the little ghost boy
transformed with hate,
around her dying body he flew
a hideous master piece he drew.
A picture of the family
they once were
And one last message,
“Does no one care about her?”
To take her soul
The demons arrived
“Take mine not hers,”
The little boy cried.
With a glint in his eye
The demon agreed,
To the gates of heaven,
The girls soul was freed.
But the boy the demons
Did not take,
He roams the world
Eyes cold with hate.
But sometimes you
might feel his cold hand,
he tells you your pain
he understands.
And every girl
that cuts her wrists,
reminds him painfully
of his older sis.
You taught me the meaning of life. you always stood right by my side. you taught me what
was right and brought me into the light. you did your best for me, now im the person you
hope i'd be, you taught me everything i know. to raise me you were alone, when it was time
to let me go, i knew i'd make it on my own. you told me to live my life and to always take
chances that pass me by. even though we've had rough times, im proud to say that you are
mine.
your the reason why i'm here, the reason my eyes can see, i want none of this to disappear,
i want you here with me, i never want to say goodbye, that would be to hard for me. i will
always be by your side, i'll be there each time you need me, i'll comfort you when you cry,
you can always count on me, your the reason i'm alive, the reason i believe, you made me
feel strong inside, and now i feel ready to take a step outside, live my life and be happy.
you comfort me when i'm sad, you hold me in your arms, you make me laugh when i'm mad,
and tell me life means no harm. you wipe my tears when i cry and do everything to make
me smile. then we start talking about life, we end up staying up all night. your all thats left in
my life, if i loose you i'll die inside. i will always be your little girl, even though i get older.
your the best mother in the world, i'll be there forever.
Thanks to you i'm the person ive become, you taught me never to give up, to follow my
dreams and have fun, live life to the fullest until i reach the top. i would never had made it on
my own. you helped me make it throughi couldnt have done it alone....

A MENTALITY HELD CAPTIVE, IGNORANCE EASILY FED UPON, A SENSITIVE LIFE ALTARED AND CONTAMINATED.
BELIEFS CHANGED, MORALS COMPREMISED, VALUES ERASED, MANIPULATION ONE SELF, IDENITY CONFISCATED.
DIGESTING SONTREVERSIAL LIES, FAKE, A SHIELD, ARMOR, TRAPPED WITHIN A HATE FILLED DIABOLICAL
SONFUSION. HIDING BEHIND ANOTHER, SEEKING PROTECTION FROM HUMILIATION, ONLY TO BE FOOLED BY A
MIRAGE A MERE ILLUSION. A FOLLOWER, FOLLOWING A PATH TO DESTRUCTION, WRONGFULLY ACCUSED FOR
ONES SIMPLE NARROWMINDED INTENTIONS. TO FIND ONE SELF BACKED INTO AN ABYESS, WORDS SPOKEN WITH
LIES, LIVING A LIFE FULL OF CONTRIDICTING. A HUNGER FOR THE TRUTH, AN THEATRICAL EQUATION TO WHICH
ONLY DEATH IS DECIDED UPON, SADISTICALLY THE ONLY SOLUTION. DEFENDING THE WRONG FACTS, DENYING
THE INEVITALBLE, SEARCHING TO BREATH CLEAN AIR, FINDING YOURSELF ONLY INHALING POLLUTION. PASSING
JUDGEMENT ON OTHERS, HYPOCRITICAL THOUGHTS, SPEAKING WTH A FORKED TOUNGE, SHELTERED,
CONTIPLATING DIGGING A GRAVE. PRESSURED INTO WRONGFUL SYSTEMATICS, FORCED INTO TRIALS,
TRIBULATIONS BECOME ONES FULL OF ANGER, REGRET AND HATE. AN ALTERED STATE OF MORALS, VALUES AND
BELIEFS, BECOMES IMMORAL BLASFEMY WHICH LEAD SADLY TO YOUR FALL, YOUR FOREVER DEGRADING
CONFRETATIONS. SCARS NOW COVER YOUR HEART, MIND AND SOUL, YOUR SHUNNED, HATED, ALL COULD HAVE
BEEN AVOIDED, THOSE YOU CHOSE TO INHERIT ANOTHERS TESTIMONIAL LACERATIONS.

Through out her life we really weren't there
Not lack of Love or that we just didn't care
So many years now that we've missed
It was out of our hands we would insist
Not even sure how much time has now passed
To late but we've got it together at last
Now we look for the Love that was one there
The kind that only her and daddy could share
There's no excuses or things that we can take back
And against us the odds seem to be stacked
Why is it that it never takes long
Before she is hurt by what we do wrong
Still we remember the day she was born
We ran through town tooting our own horn
That Love how can we ever get back
And is life worth it if that's the Love We lack
We never stop paying for years that we're out of our mind
When even rock bottom we couldn't find
So through out the rest of our years
For her we may shed many tears
There is no one else we can even blame
And no matter what we'll love her just the same
Maybe when a few more years she has lived
We will be someone she can forgive
We now write this with a very shattered heart
Hoping and Praying for a new start
Young lady if this you should read
Please believe it's your Love that we really need!

To bear a name and no nothing of its source
Is to follow a path and know nothing of its course
Always half empty wherever you are
Half a soul chasing a falling star
Sometimes in life we turn over a stone
Underneath is a map leading to home
The fear it wells so deep inside
Everything to gain from the tears we have cried
I think back to all I have been through
How bad I have longed to know all of you
For to know all of you is to better know myself
Opening a vault of true inner-wealth
Sometimes it’s hard to express what we feel
As the layers of our heart continues to peel
To finally look into a picture of my fathers face
Is to finally get to feel his loving embrace
This may sound funny but not if you start
To see life through the eyes of a poets heart
So many things running through my mind
So many memories I have yet to find
I have finally faced one of my greatest regrets
And talked with half of myself I had never met
After 47 years of not knowing my dad or his family
I located and wrote them. Just a little over a month
ago I met my brother, sister and their mother.
They came to visit right before my operation. Some
of the blessings in life are full of Love. Such was
the case in our meeting. Thank You
I call my life a blessing
Not because of what I am facing
But coz of the people I'm having
Especially Mom my Queen
She is my Everything
Alone she tried to raise me
My sisters and my brother
Without complaining
At times life failed her
But she was always on her knee
Our big family without him
Seem a bit like nothing
But thats how it is
We need to pray we manage
Because God is with us
Sometimes we cry
Untill tears dry
Yet we pray
2 reach the next day
Oh,Mom I know it's tough
One person carrying us four
Trying so hard not 2 fall
Climbing the mountains
With us on her back
Falling, but yet she embarks
Sacrificing all the goods in life
For us to get all we want
Even when it's tough
She fights hard so hard
Making sure she provides
What a gift from God?
Mom,my everything
Without u I'm nothing
Please keep supporting
For forever I'll keep u with me
U always understand me
Even when I act mean and annoying
U truly are my Everything
My love, trust and happiness
Forever I shall keep u
Growing up with just u
And grandma who loves us
Taught me 2 be there 4 others
As the two of u did 2 me
My Mom, My Grany is who I wana be
I’m not gonna pretend, I know what life is?
I won’t stand and pretend, the almighty god, saved me!
I’ll never walk a marathon, for petty crime,
Or kill an enemy, because I can.
I won’t enforce, the court of law,
Or pretend the bible, is Christ to the core.
Never would I doubt, my faith,
Or boast to others, their faiths a waist.
No I won’t lose hope, in strength within,
Or condemn those, who have given in.
I won’t condemn, a suicidal man,
I'll applaud his might, for what he’s endured.
I can’t escape, my violent thoughts
But I can resist, knowing it won’t resolve, the life that I’m in!!!
I will allow them to listen, and repeat all their lies,
Knowing in myself, the truth will lye.
I’ll let them listen, and call it neglect,
But I'll stand in court, for the lives I protect.
We may part, with a tear in our stride,
But I'll show the power, of mothers own will.
I'll prove to the world, I'll never give in,
Knowing their hearts, waiting on me.
I'll promise a power, that can never broke,
A bond so fierce, it will leave us to be, the family, the love, my kids and me.
Thrown away
Thrown away
To have your love and trust
Just thrown away
Is what its like to be betrayed
Children lost
But the childhood remains
Thrown away
Is all that remains
To eat at your own heart
Everyday
To swallow all the times
You could not say
Not describe in anyway
How
I love you
Thrown away
Children last so it seems
To escape at last
From the haunted dreams
Of thrown away
To wake up and not believe in anything
Unable to touch
A single thing
To open your eyes each and every day
Is what its like to be
To be thrown away
Children smile or so it seems
An innocent mask to drown out screams
A confusion of stabs to hide behind
A quiet curtain
In the mind
And there is no confidence
Not in anything
There is no love or trust
No not even in the crouching corner
Or the cowering cringe
Of self protecting arms and hands
There only one safety
The safety within
The blank and awful darkness
Sucking you in
And throwing your life away
Every door in your soul is closed
Every smile a moment of betrayal
One life to believe
One life to become
Someone
Who
Wasn’t
Isn’t
Thrown away
