Do You See What I See

When life gives you lemons you can make lemonade
You seem pretty happy with the choices you've made
You think that life is a simple cup of tea?
Well tell me this, do you see what I see?

I see a world full of death and destruction
A world that prefers war over construction
Countries run by corrupt dictators
Websites just crawling with haters

At this time human interaction is rough
With kids strutting around, thinking they are tough
Now all the victims days aren't very sunny
Tell me, do you still think bullying is funny?

I see individuals who hate
Because of the gender that people date
And people, with their reasoning thin
Judge others based on the color of their skin

I see pollution, confusion, and people who starve
I see the downfall of humanity, due to the society we've carved
I see secrets being kept by the people who rule
I see people being mugged, now that's not very cool

The people we fear are the ones who're supposed to protect
Society is blind due to the secrets that are kept
In order to progress we will have to fix ourselves, yes, both you and me
Don't you see? This world needs equality

Yes I know "look on the bright side of things"
Be grateful for the good, and toast with a cling
Yes, optimism is a trait in which I wish I had more
But unfortunately, these topics are too big to ignore

Do you still think that life is a pot of honey?
Tell me now, do you see what I see?


Because You Only Can Give That Feeling

When darkness envelopes 
my destiny
and all doors of hopes seem closed
still I feel some courage to breathe
because only you can give me that feeling
when all of a sudden
I find myself alone in this world
and accompanied by loneliness only
then I feel someone around me
that shows me 
the meaning of being lonely
because only you can give me that feeling
when my heart is broken
and I feel that no one else like you
offer encouragement to my broken heart
then my heart starts beating for you
because only you can give me that feeling
when I stumble and fall on the ground
I feel that you appear as a savior 
you lift me up, hug and kiss
and inspire me to look at the twinkling stars
that are shining for me only
because only you can give me that feeling
when life hits me hard
I feel that your sweet smile
becomes paradise for me
and help me overcome fear of failure
showing the path of success
because only you can give me that feeling
when I become a hopeless wanderer
in search of incredible adventures
I feel some invisible touch on my back
that boosts up my energy
to continue my journey
because only you can give me that feeling
now I feel that
when life gives you lemons 
make lemonade 
I feel that you only fail 
when you stop trying
nothing great is ever achieved 
nothing ventured nothing gained
without your enthusiasm 
because only you can give me that feeling

Banana Bread

When life gives you lemons

You make lemonade

I am a banana

A beaten and bruised banana

Too ugly to sit on the marble countertop in the kitchen

Wouldn’t want the house to look poor and unkept, right?

The good news is that there are layers to the banana

The bad news is that when you peel the unappealing-looking exterior, a mushy interior meets your eye

Too soft to enjoy without leaving a bad taste in your mouth

When life gives you a banana like this

You make banana bread

I am a banana

I can’t make banana bread because I am a mere ingredient in the delicious pastry

I am the unwanted ingredient that can magically turn useful by the powers of others

I need flour to hold me together and keep me from going all over the place

I need sugar to make my softness appear sweet to others

I need baking soda to help me rise and grow out of my imperfections

And I need someone willing to put in the effort to make me into tasty banana bread

Damn, I want some banana bread right now

Who’s cookin’?

Dont Give Up

Don’t give up for your life is still here, if their is a spark of light, your ways will be clear. Don’t give up because Jesus is God, he never left you nor will he ever fall. Don’t give up because love is in your heart, if it’s still beating, you still have a fresh start. Don’t give up when things makes a drastic turn, don’t give in to satan’s burn. Don’t give up because hope still abounds, when life gives you lemons, your lemonade will be found. I backslide from the truth of the lord but when I prayed and asked for forgiveness my voice was gracefully heard. Keep on fighting for a new day and when you come face to face with Jesus he will welcome you into his kingdom because you had a little faith. God Bless everyone and I pray for everybody who is backsliding and for all people. Hope is where your heart is! Jesus loves you! God Bless!

When Life Gives You Lemons

A neighbor got a lovely gift
Of lemons, but too much
For her to use so, neighborly,
She chose to get in touch.

She emailed with an offer 
That her bounty she would share
Since even after using some,
She still had lots to spare.

I told her I would take a few
And thanked her, just to find
She’d left an overflowing bag,
By my front door, behind.

With way too many, I did try
To send a big bunch back 
But she declined, quite sure I’d use
Each lemon in the sack.

A recipe for lemon cookies,
Using juice and zest,
Appealed to me; I made a batch
But, truth be told, at best

They were so mediocre 
They were barely fit to eat,
Not lemony enough and yet
Too far from being sweet.

You might suspect this failure
Left me saddened and dismayed,
But I’ll follow that old saying
And just make some lemonade!

Lemons

When life gives you lemons, you never give up, keep on believing, and don’t self destruct, a minute in time, is all it could take, doing the right thing, or make a mistake, your heart could be breaking, your worlds at an end, remember these words, stay strong my friend, this is just a second, this time will pass, take just a moment, that’s all I’ll ask, think of the what’s, think of the if’s, think life’s worth living, the greatest of gifts, this may feel like, the end of the world, your life’s in your hands, it’s not meant to be hurled, what I’m trying to say, what I need to make clear, it’s ok to be down, it’s ok to have fear, it’s ok to be sad, it’s ok to shout, it’s ok to scream, and let it all out, pain will soon go, and then there is light, never stop fighting, the invisible fight.

Lemons

when life give you lemons you make lemonade
when life gives you a job its time to get paid
when life gives you women you'll surely get laid
but obsess over all this you'll end up a slave

see no evil hear no evil speak no evil please 
just because I'm Satanist people think that I'm diseased
but I assure you all that I'm the cleanliest you'll ever see
cuz one of the things that separate is the fact I'm still me

I don't really care for the opinions of what you think
cut you, you cut me we bleed red and both show pink 
inside were the same its our tones that are both distinct
if we keep fighting this war its all who will be extinct 

when life gives you lemons 
you can try to paint them gold 
but you'll always be reminded
cuz inside still turns to mould

Travelling At the Speed of Light Pink

i buy only gold glitter so that all that glitters is gold
===================================    =
-------------------------read------    --------------------------
===================================    =
if opposites attract then would opposite not attract the same
Als well has dried up but it it lasted a while
unfortunately he fell in it and died didn't end well
not in love but my head is still over my heels
when life gives you lemons squirt them in its eye who wants lemons
always get out of my bed at the bottom
so i can punch anybody that says i got out the wrong side
see if you count in half seconds is that a waste of time
if all the worlds a stage
wheres the exit
i don't seem myself
then why the  are you telling me

Lemons Get a Bum Rap

The poor lovely lemon,
     It’s really so unfair
An arbitrary choice?
    Then why not choose a pear?

Why pick on little lemons
     A bit sour to the taste?
An unfair connotation
     Common sense has been displaced

My car is such a lemon,
    Is said to mean, its junk!
And that ‘When life gives you lemons”…
     Is just a lot of bunk

Why lemons are delicious
     In their bright and cheery hue
There seems to be no end to just what
     They can do for you

Now, they can bleach your elbows
    And can even lighten hair
Try sitting in the sun
     With your hair that’s full of pear

And maybe most important,
     At least it is for me!
I need them for my cocktails
     Well, I need a lemon tree!

Lemonade

They say when life gives you lemons you make lemonade
That's the saying, right?
But what about all the other parts we need
Like water to give it life
To make it more that just lemon juice
And sugar to give it sweetness
Making it worth the wait
But making lemonade isn't much diferent from creating a nice life
The lemons symbolize our sour terrible lives
The water symbolizes how much it can purify and keep our lives flowing
But we all need that sugar to make life sweet and memorable
But most of us lack the sugar
When life gives us lemons
Isn't it just showing us that making lemonade is some what like creating a good life
