Social-Pity

Social Pity
Upon the land of which we hate others
of a mirror of ourselves
we destroy ourselves
humanity is a mirror of this truth
take a look
beyond the facades
can you see
thats where the truth lies
beneath the surface
people fear
the change they cant handle
so dwell among the surface they will
as others dwell deeper
those are the hope for human kind
my hope for them have not died
but day by day it grows a slimmer chance
the distruction of mankind
will be their own ignorance
and fear
may their minds rest
and be of peace
till the choice is of time
where the scale may tip
of opposing favors
for that is the truth of humanity pitifulness may shine
till then
go of peace

Greed

------------Greed------------------
the lust for more
never truly understanding limits
the feeling of irritation among the time you dont
such has corrupted mankind
controlling them as a puppet
the only way to detach those strings is to give no care
but to do that the bottomless pit of sorrow comes
for this no information can be given
but good luck

Soul Purpose

I believe in none such as that
For your purpose is to live
Not to be that stereotypical heroine 
Many believe in the case we live just to die
If so why even live at all
The challenges we face 
Are all a trial
Not to prove ourselves to a higher power
But to fellow man kind
 Many have given up
Live solely for conformity
For this is not of my truth 
My writings hold what I see as true
I do not need others to conform nor agree to 
Such of which is stated
For this is not of theirs 
This is of my reality’s vision 
The statements if read as condescending 
My deepest sorrow to you
For that is not the intent 
Yet I will not change what is said
For once said before 
I do not lay in the field of flowers 
Just to look for the weed 
As I do not look through life
Just to be upset with one event
You may “break me” 
“tear me down” or upset me 
But my words will sing the same old tune
The need of conformity
Is the tune mankind’s playing 
My deepest sorrow if this brings upon anger
For as I write 
I write solely for the purpose of my perspective
My life will be devoted for others
As my base will stay for me 
Find this condescending as you wish
Love others without you 
Will destroy your life
I’ve seen this
Do as you wish 
For that is your trial
We will meet back once again possibly 
At the light

Life-Of-New

Life of the year ahead
So be it evolve
As such as I will 
Being of truth 
With happiness to embrace
For if it goes worse
Means the tune of 15 years gone wrong
Wipe your troubles of prior years behind
Be of the future and now
The moment is near capture it
Live within this year 
Breath new life 
Understand the old 
Be of peace.

Depression

Depression
seen as a plague
no one understanding
besides the ones who are the ones through it
the suffering
of knowing the truth
the other side
the temporary time
until the time comes
you become one with it
not of anguish
but truth
that will be the peace
i long for
for then ill see them again
the kind hearted
shinto and gorsit
im glad you are safe
others by the name
which rings in my head
to another melody
that drove me to almost insanity
depression
not a plague
do not fear us
we have the eyes of truth
the kind souls
seeing of the dark times
battling it
until they are one of the same
the warriors of hope
that is the battle with the life
i believe in the sight
depression isnt to be scared of
we are all beings
one and the same
as the earth plays its harmonies
to the melody of the universe
depression
its not a plague

Gaia's Gift

A loving mother some state
a barrier of truth lies in these words 
the rest lie in the maintainer of that reality

Earth does not need us to survive 
but the opposing is not true 
as from birth 
we fall on the ground and stare at the stars 
always having a ground to fall upon
making it a bit easier to stand 
delicious foods growed upon the land 
lent to you by the life of the land
gives and gives until the land once given is corrupted 
and the love becomes painful 
answer me who will be blamed 
the other creatures as we build factories
upon the gravesite of earth

What land are we leaving for others 
to fall and entrust to 
Why must we be blinded 
by the need of material damage
listen closely 
will the voices of the trees surround you in time
or will we create a world
of volcano
and deserts 

Tell stories of trees 
instead of climbing them and mountains 
we dodge them
saying they are business's property
the amazon forest
the amazon desert all the same 
as we have amazon prime the only thing we care for
the nile 
the Missouri and all rivers turned to enemy 
as the grounds are polluted to toxicity

You will say you love them
but will you love the world that we left 
if you have to think of something 
think of the future of humanity nonetheless
will you let the world go to shambles
or finally see....

The evolution of humanity lies in mankind's hand

Happiness

Such of the world is of sad 
Alongside grief 
Falling into a hole where there is no escape
The rope of hope diminished by the chaos they internalize 
Such of a world is lead 
By the despair of the people
For the truth is blinded 
Out of sight to them 
By facades and lenses 
That can and will kill them 
Such of a world is in which we live
We haven’t fallen fully to this 
For our hope still lies
But as you see the peace we want 
Is coming from 
Killing our environment and our kind
Of how is peace coming from such of a destructive act
How is the happiness to come from such
The peace we wish comes not from 
Despair 
Nor destruction 
Rather for the love we have for others
The understanding we are all different 
But all are one
That sole belief 
Crumbles facades and breaks down reality 
Into a sole living arena 
Where there is not a battle 
Rather a gathering of truth 
Such of a truth comes a balance 
That balance is connected to us 
As  well as the universe
For eternal greatness is not out of mankinds reach 
Rather is closer than it seems 
Such of peace is of happiness 
All of the power is from self

Societal Terms

Ignorance at work
Such is rumors
I plead as if you rake offense to this
I beg out of sorrow 
For it is not intent to upset 
But state 
What is the typical truth 
As seen through the teenage eyes
My age may be a teen 
But my sight has lasted many life times
Is all I will state
As my words are my symphony
From another realm 
In which you do believe me 
I welcome you to this words of my symphony
Societal has fallen to its need of comformity
Ive seen this tale play out 
I fear it’s the same story 
We destroy what was given to us 
To create a better world 
We destroy what has helped us 
To make it “better”
Yet so blindly 
We don’t see the other side
We destroy
Not only that but a bit of what makes a 
Mortal man
We see the environment  getting destroyed
What do we do about 
Oh 
We tweet about how we are gonna fix it later
But we don’t get it 
The later may not be here 
We are in the moment so much 
We are blind to the rest 
We are faced with 
Survival for now 
Or survival for longer 
The choice will be chosen
By the hand 
Of humanity

Death's Grasp

Seconds before release 
tears shed down peoples heads 
the grief of the world falls upon their shoulders 
distant memories brought forth by the shock
as if the tidal waves bring pain forth
from old joy 
As the reaper knocks upon the door so near 
a sudden darkness grabs hold 
as a flood of tears stains the memory of now 
im not here to say its all going to be alright 
im not here to say that i understand what you all go through 
rather to say that im here 
if you wish to have a shoulder to cry upon 
The seconds before death are filled with despair 
and fear 
of the knowing there is no more 
memories to be builr 
the creation of our own fortresses to be torn down 
smiles are vanquished as fast as the happiness once felt 
The love is so close as it encloses people to see
that their with them in all they do 
the flowers bloom on both sides of the fence 
stating that you may live in honor with them in mind 
or you can dig your own grave by the corpse's side
live in the love that will never vanish 
pass on the peace of mind that you will remember them 
before the seconds of how they died
Some speak of oasis after life 
or a cloud of happiness 
if so im sure they are having their time of peace and release 
times may be hard 
as shock is new 
but remember the ones you have physically 
and the ones who will always be with you spiritually and mentally
love and honor the ones gone 
by living life and smiling 
as you know their peace is to come as they sink into oasis after release 
those tears shed are all good and fair 
but smile because the one that is believed not to be there 
is watching from afar 
Live with the love of that who you did and do 
as release comes to peace for all those 
believe that of 
truth's smile
