It blanketed deserted streets
 that longed for the busy life 
they had been built...

And I despise the flowers as a gift
it's wrong to condemn something to death
by giving it
now 
your soul is patched for my heart
(as a protest badge)
and that heart was holding the walls of my being

I...

I know exactly what you're saying..."It ain't right!"
But how many do you know as sincere? One who will put up a fight!
One as determine...Knowing despite,
Despite such obstacles we'll face, i'll California Roll right through that...

World watches Humanity Fall;
Indifferences felt by All.
Few moments in History can compare;
Shockwaves rippled everywhere.
   Each land of a different name;
Every Indifference is the same.
    Suffering, Despair;
Proof that Nobody Cares.

Lack of communication leads to 
misinterpretation.
That's something this present 
generation deems to adjust to, 
because based on observation a 
lot of us tend to strive with 
limitations.

We want new ideas to serve as 
motivation,
We want...

Grabbing my attention…something is grabbing my attention…my cat is my best friend that always hang around me in my bedroom in Lake Arrowhead…doused in dread once upon a time, but now I am feeling good...

years seem like months and weeks a day.
And though the stars still shine each night
in this world of hyperbole
and alternate reality,
I had to learn what's wrong from right
and lost...

While novel revelations come and go,
discoveries that shed uncharted light,
the more we know the more there is to know.

We seek to see into the heavens’ show
with telescopes that stretch our earthly sight

"The body, like the oak, is bent and gnarled,
The shallow-rooted mind is overthrown,
When we are near the evening of the world."

the sounds of the night desert me
my mind seized by ill-fates once more
as ripples dispatched by the ferry
lick down this plutonian shore

dark deeds in my lifetime like flotsam
sailing passed in the after-light gloom

All those before me
I only care if you loved them more
All those coming after me
I only care if you'll love them more

Oh the things how we used to do
How we were, so happy, full of feelings
Just me and you

Look up to the stars 
They will keep you company
You may not see them every night
But they will soon reunite
And they will never abandon you whenever you see moonlight
It may even...
