Journey mankind walks similar steps they breath
among their own soul a conviction to dignity
Priority of being as if there was purpose with
resolution to life intended be their destiny
An obedience to standard of representation we're
lead to believe in God of good
Where we find kindness, love abound emotions,
you can't kill it; through hate we love again
Intensions, to progress in all that we can be
Those who hate love's something they desire,
though evil rules consequences of their actions
Cause we fail to perfect beauty of opportunity,
if we can't be true than to whom we follow
Our instincts abandon birth survival for society,
falling wave side like erosion over time
We let people dictate influence to our existence,
darkness hides depths with vengeance to destroy
Do we want be others or be one who's portrait does not
fade ever lasting sketch weathering storms
Man can't destroy temple we build inside, only body's
material possession does he find weakness
Obedience, one nation under God for truth,
justice and liberty with interpretation
Wealth immunity is a material possession
of the physical body,
happiness is a mentality
of the conscious
put in place by the soul that delivers the deed,
there is no weakness where there is need,
and there is no status to the man with greed,
power is gifted until the powerful fall
when judgement is placed upon us all.
Fame is a game of the mortal
abuse is a game for the awful
when the power is yours
to abuse above law
will the morals restore you
or will damnation enthrall
when you’re someone
remember
you’re no one at all
You will always have a piece of my heart fighting for you,
Through the good and bad I'll help see you through,
I've learned from much loss and being torn apart,
That distance has no bearing when your close at heart,
The soul has much more to give,
Than any material possession I could offer you to live,
With nothing of material value we give everything,
Because love is neverending, its the freedom to sing.
As fiery flames pierced the ebony sky
I watched my home engulf in burning sty
My family huddled, disbelief in each tear
The Lord had saved us from this inferno of fear
Then allowed me to save one material possession
The last chance I had, this is my confession
My grandma's doll I could not leave behind
Sweet fruit of life, my home only the rind
For the memories she holds I could not replace
Fair, kindred thoughts clad in sheer lace
Lost childhood secrets of yesteryear
Eyes that do stare mottled and clear
Aging beauty, statuesque grace
Ruby lips on a smooth bisque face
Ebony locks, I gripped time by and by
As fiery flames pierced the ebony sky

Lets Runaway
detach ourselves from all material possession
we'll bring only Your will and memories
leaving nothing but our mistakes and regrets
So we'll run away
from life, from pain, from fear, hate, and sin
escaping the bonds of society
And as we run
we will dream
we will build
we will grow
and we will love,
The life of a Runaway
Written: 7/23/10
Trees and dirt I sleep on the earth, the dust the sand, longing to birth.
Oil on skin, bare,
sweat on your back,
feels amazing.
Yes! Im back on track.
Sleeping cosy as a worm,
unencumbered by any material possession or fixed term.
Free to explore, a magical universe,
I must implore.
No home, no chores, no bills to pay.
Just water, food gathered and warmth today.
A dusty cave, cute as a button, no slamming door,
just love in your belly, to the very core.
I love this realm,
just need more time,
time to explore.
Trees and dirt I sleep on the earth, the dust, the sand, longing to birth.
And return once again to mother earth.
Material possession just cant buy you love

Material possessions just cant buy you
love
even if you have everything in the world
What were you thinking of
Because it is just not the true key to happiness
And its not the gate way to getting love
Sure it might make things better for awhile
But honestly it wont change who you really are
And even when you think you may have everything
You can still be the unhappiest person in the world
Because material possessions just cant buy you love
I have something to say, a special gift to pass on
I am poor in material possession but i will still honour this bond.
All i do have i offer to you
I cannot buy you diamonds so i hope my heart will do
so with this i vow, my heart and soul
To give you all i possess you may take all
I own, as i offer to you all that i have
I want to tell you i love but am afraid you will laugh
I wish to say again in a manner so truly
That you may take my heart and soul that exist for you purely
I give you my words and a smile though i know its not alot
But in truth i have given you all i have got
I give you promise to love you for as long as i live
I know its not much but its all i can give
