Humanity's Poison

Sacred words etched in stone
These holy carvings engraved upon humanity
The burning belief leaves its mark
Division is born to bring about unity

A Dystopia disguised as an Ethiopia arises
Empty promises made
Retribution demanded 
Damaged lives fallen in the name of "God"

Freedom shackled by the belief of hope;
To not feel alone, nations crumble
To not feel lost, millions slaughtered
To not feel weak, power is corrupted 

Demons disguised as angels preach 
An evil so ignorant it's innocent
A belief so strong it becomes reality
A hate so strong, that love fades away

Alas, this is the tale of a terrible poison
A poison that was once a sacred elixir
A poison that has engulfed the world
A poison so potent that not even death can cure it;
This is the poison of Religion

Holy Tyrants

They look down from their holy thrones
They pass judgement onto those that stray from the pack
To be different is to be unique
To be unique is to be a sin
And to sin is to burn

With venom filled words they whip our backs,
They strip us of our humanity
They toss us onto the wildlands 
Just for being who we are, 
We're nothing more than scum to them

The sacred boundaries they claim,
Have been defiled with our very existence
To love is to bring about hate
To hate is to commit suicide
And to die by our own hand,
Is just another proof of our sin of life

The robed men preach their indignity
Scream their hate
March their ignorance

Banned from a hypocritical dystopian 
We're scared and traumatized
Divided and hunted down
Hurt and dying

To be a loving God, you must be Perfect
To be a holy angel, you must be free of all sins
To be human, however, you must learn to love

So now we ask you, the "holy" tyrants
If to be human, you must learn to love,
What is it that you truly are?
Perhaps, just maybe, you're the blasphemous sinners you claim us to be

Favortism

Favoritism, what a great way to treat kids
Pick your favorite, forget the others
Make them hate themselves
Let them cry alone in the night

The twinkle in the eyes, 
The twinkle that shows pride
How that mere thing can be something for which a man yearns the most
He'll never have that twinkle
He'll never make anyone proud

Pretend they don't exist
They start to believe it
They begin to bleed just for someone to notice
No one loves enough to stop the bleeding

Insult after insult
They hide the bruises
The cracks it makes on the soul
No one sees them drown in their depression

Parents leaving when children start to die
Returning to find the undead
The gods of the past
The protectors of the young
They are not God
So ask Him for forgiveness

Notice who they've become
See their marks
See that fire that makes them fight
The pain didn't shatter them
Just left them forever scarred

A Day For Hypocrisy

One day a year, we decide to be kind
To show our love for one another, to be pure of mind.

We laugh and smile, a day to rejoice;
Though is one day a year the only choice?

Why not be kind all year long,
Show your love and bliss to those you're among?
Can't we retain the better half of our humanity within our hearts?
If humanity consists only of this hypocrisy, I want no parts!

One day to show your love, one day to be pure;
Tis the truth, there is no cure.
We're destined to live in shambles,
Never experience any true gambols.
It's sad to say, we're nothing but lies;
So I have one thing left to say: my final goodbyes.
Learn from humanity's mistakes;
Do not let your heart be filled with petty aches.
Love your life, so when you die
You may leave in peace, with a blissful goodbye.

The Meaning of Life

The meaning to life is simply to reproduce our own species and ensure our survival. But as human beings, we are intelligent enough to see this and this depresses us so we search for a deeper meaning, a meaning that only those with thoughts could understand, aka humans. And some believe that the meaning of life is to find happiness, to live it to the fullest, to find love. They do this just to not accept the depressing reality. Life is depressing, there's no doubt about it but my view on it is that we cling to life a little while longer, searching for that something that makes life worth it, that something that interests us and makes us wanna be alive. Whether that be money, love, sex or Peace, we search for it to bring some meaning into our lives. Because without that something, we'd realize how tedious our lives truly are. I live not because I want to, but because I'm waiting for that something special to catch my eyes

The Waltz of Hate

Are we once more reigniting this old dance mother dear?
Will we dance amongst the lies,
Try to strike the other first with venom field whips?

Once more to the rhythm of things I see,
The old Waltz of the minds has began
Will this slow battle turn into a furious Tango?

You twirl your power over me with a wicked smirk
You believe me to be submissive, to follow your lead, to relinquish my will to live

I laugh at your ignorance, oh don't you know that I burn with a passion too?
That a poison courses through my veins
That a deep hate is imbedded into my soul?
With this rotting pain will I break free

Free of your chastising chains
Free of your hateful home
Free of your sinister smile
Free of your lie filled love

You think you're taking the lead
That I follow your steps
That to your rythm my heart beats

But you're wrong,
I plot and plan
Wait and lie
For the day which by law I'll be free
That by choice I'll leave
That by my own free will,
Do I leave this tiresome dance of hate

School Sanctuary

I hide my soul in these crowded hallways
I smile and wear my mask.
You see me smiling and laughing
A result of the suppressed hurt inside.

I bury my heart in these heavy textbooks
Forget my scars as the bell rings;
Forget the self-loathing that still burns my wrists.

I escape reality with each friend I greet
But the solitude returns when the door closes as the final bell rings.

I leave myself locked in classrooms
Throw the key under essays and calculus assignments
Smile as my final tears of the day shimmer unseen by those who pass.

Heartless

He said to me once
"Why does no one love me?"
Then be cried upon my shoulder
Begging to know why no one wanted his broken heart

I stitched it back
Kept it from falling apart
He never knew the nights I wasted away
Mending his shattered heart

Then one day he said with joy
"I'm in love! I'm in love! I'll give her my heart! I'll give her my love!"

I smiled for my friend
Helped him woo his lady friend 
He gave her his heart on a silver platter
But she threw it away
Far far away
And then it shattered

He came to me once more
He sobbed his eyes to oblivion
Asking why she did it

All I could do was hold him tighter as his cries shook us both

His cries pierced my ears till they bled
So much pain and suffering
The agony, oh how it brought tears to my eyes
So I took my own heart out
Gave it to him

It filled the black hole nicely
Beated strong and loud
He never realized that it was mine
When he cried out to me once more
"My friend! My friend! I'm in love once again! And this time, she's brought to life my dead heart!"

I gave him a sad smile
My oblivious friend never knew that the heart he has
Was always mine

Tis true, tis sad
He loves her with heart that's not even his
I gave up my love
To see him smile

I'm now dead inside
Without a pulse I'm the walking dead
I feel nothing
Can't feel love anymore
But my heart still beats
Inside my best friend who never knew he was loved all along

Empty Page

This empty page has potential like me,
To write the lines that tell a horrible tale
Or to depict the dark scene of the graphite terror

This empty page has no emotion
Which will I give it?
Which will show?

I'm no artist nor poet,
But a simple being who brings life onto this lonely page

This empty page is transparent as can be
The secrets I'll hide within the words and ink
The words I'll never speak, but cloak beneath the veil of lines and charcoal

This empty page is a fresh start,
Not yet stained with the mistakes of life,
No smudges nor failed words scar the white

I'm no wiseman, just a simple boy
Yet the dark on the page shock those around;
Makes then question what could've brought the black

This empty page is nothing but a story
With each one completed, another chapter is written
It's a story of the past frozen in the present

This empty page will be my legacy,
The greatness that it can be, awaits its creator to pour his soul
To fill the void with his damaged heart
And to show the scars he tries to hide

Best Friends

We will part
We will move on
She's off to college
He's off to the Army 
And here left behind I stand

We shared many laughs
We shared many tears
She held me as I wept 
He fought for me when I bled
But alone now I stand 

We were the bestest of friends 
We loved each other greatly 
She never betrayed me
He never left me
But now I stand alone holding broken promises

She's a mother and a wife 
She works for her family
Fights for her life 
Doesn't remember the broken friend she once said she loved 

He's proud and a loyal soldier 
He works hard for his country, works hard for his people
Fights to defend the nation be calls his home
Doesn't remember the lost soul he vowed to protect 

I stand tall and angry with the promises I'm burdened with 
I promised to never give in, promised to never give up
I fought for the “family” who I thought loved me;
Don't remember those unfaithful lies 
Don't remember the day I chose to die
