Anger and Fury

Anger and fury,

Stubborn and unseeing

Mind closed, eyes closed

Towards all thoughts

Not their own

Bigoted and self-centered,

Blinded unknowingly,

Restricted by ignorance

And refusal,

Refusal to end ignorance

Paranoid and untrusting,

Never believing

Enclosed within

One’s own mind and body

The downfall of man

Bickering and madness

Unable to harmonize

Along with others

Fear the different

Scared to be unique

Afraid to stand out

Hiding from shun

Never wishing

To be in the place

Of the pariah

The outcast

The one who stays true

To themselves,

Their thoughts,

Their beliefs,

Their actions

Thinking they are the ones

Hurt and confused,

Wrong and shunned away

Reality is,

They stand tall,

Believe and aspire,

Living life to its fullest,

Positively and content,

Open to all,

And to self

Anger and fury,

Irrational and abrupt,

Sudden changes,

Multiple sides in one

Personalities alter,

Characteristics shift,

Traits transform

And one who we knew,

A complete stranger

Uncertain and unsure

Of identity within,

Metamorphosed outer appearance,

No longer the same

The bickering begins

And arguing pursues

Anxious arguments,

Debates, disagreements,

Whatever the name

Tears down friends and family,

Strangers you become,

And man himself destroyed

Self-Destruct (song in progess)

this is going to probably be turned into a song in some time...

From my own single spot upon this earth

I watch and cringe at what has come to be

Flinch at the animosity and mirth

Wept for past love despite adversity

I wish that I could save you from yourself

But the world tumbles to a rapid end

Nobody cares, nobody notices

Nobody gives a damn about others

Slipping into darkness of ashen hearts

Falling deeper to lands of no return

Unable to make your way towards the light

Unable to distinguish wrong and right

Staring, gawking at those less fortunate

Simply entertainment, nothing real

Sure and certain that it is all for show

Shows the extent of what you really know

Ignorant and defiant bigotry

All eyes sealed shut and refusal to see

Wide open yet nothing gets to the brain

Wondering if we’re all really still sane

When we turn our backs, turn the other cheek

On our brothers, sisters, family, friends

Where we have no one left when help we seek

The world known swiftly rushes to its ends

Time runs out, time flies past, but no one looks

Too absorbed in themselves to open eyes

Too engrossed to notice the endless lies

Time ticks by, a bomb on humanity

I wish that I could save you from yourself

But the world tumbles to a rapid end

Nobody cares, nobody notices

Nobody gives a damn about others

Through the eyes of our ancestors deceased

Looking on the havoc and apathy

Feeling shame and so unrelatable

Have times truly changed, so noticeable?

When back then, nation would bind together

Through war, hate, slavery, and better times

Stuck with each other, each brother, sister

All were unified under one nation

Standing in unities unbreakable

Stronger in numbers immeasurable

Striking for the rights of our fellow friends

Sticking by each ‘til the ultimate end

I wish that I could save you from yourself

But the world tumbles to a rapid end

Nobody cares, nobody notices

Nobody gives a damn about others

Watching closely as society dies

It swiftly, painfully, streams down the drain

Rapidly, hastily, dripping away

Unlikely noticed and unlikely saved

This path of doom not in stone yet engraved

By ourselves foolishly were we enslaved

By our own hands we brought upon our deaths

Enmity and greed consumes every day

The twisted truth emerges as we watch

Closely observing realities here

Noticed finally, moments from too late

Evils unintentional, dirty slates

How masochistic and egotistic

The mass of communities have thus grown

Watching on and doing none, crimes go on

As not a part, not empowered at all

At an everyday school filled with people

Bullies pick on helpless kids, defenseless

Broken and bloody with purple bruises

People gather around to see the fight

I wish that I could save you from yourself

But the world tumbles to a rapid end

Nobody cares, nobody notices

Nobody gives a damn about others

In a local park as gang rape ensues

People gather around, circling the crew

But no one speaks up, no one calls the cops

Watch the victim scream, cry, and slowly die

I wish that I could save you from yourself

But the world tumbles to a rapid end

Nobody cares, nobody notices

Nobody gives a damn about others

In the diner where you frequently go

A teenage girl sobs and protests, helpless

Now forced into polygamous marriage

Illegal, true, yet it’s ignored, dismissed

I wish that I could save you from yourself

But the world tumbles to a rapid end

Nobody cares, nobody notices

Nobody gives a damn about others

Feeling like there is nothing you can do

Believing that you can make no difference

Thinking that you have no power or right

Belittling yourselves into passive parts

I wish that I could save you from yourself

But the world tumbles to a rapid end

Nobody cares, nobody notices

Nobody gives a damn about others

I fear our future if any at all

I worry that the few left will be gone

That those few who believe will disappear

That tomorrow will never truly come

That the days to come will drag on endless

As void and abhorred, as icy darkness

That days of the past will never return

As a memory which won’t resurface

I wish that I could save you from yourself

But the world tumbles to a rapid end

Nobody cares, nobody notices

Nobody gives a damn about others

But times more unfortunate hover now

As nobody is willing to step forward

To speak up for others, complete strangers,

Because it was right, because you should have

And each will tear another down, apart

Dismantled physically and mentally

Emotionally unsalvageable

Stripped of all sympathy and compassion

I wish that I could save you from yourself

But the world tumbles to a rapid end

Nobody cares, nobody notices

Nobody gives a damn about others

I wish that I could turn the world around

But it falls faster into ruins, gone

Nobody cares, nobody notices

And nobody gives a damn any more

Voice of the Wind

Through the park I travel

Through the schoolyard,

The streets and highways

Every turn, every step of the way

I’m the silent companion

Trailing close behind

The placid presence

Along your side

The tranquil charisma

Fluttering before you

The calming voice

That whispers in your ear

The quiet tone

That tickles your senses

Bringing serenity

As you sit, thinking

The everlasting friend

That listens to your every word

And carries it off to the heavens

Warm as springtime

Touch as soft as a parent to child

Yet at the same time,

The uproar,

The ire

That rips through town

During the raging storm

Alliance to the booming thunderclap

And flashing streak of lightening

I am the howling shriek

That whips through

Shrill as a banshee

Cold as the depths of the iciest sea

Two sides to me

As multiple sides to others

Take a look at both stories

Take the time to revel

Consider all

Do not side

Until each point revealed

Each person

Each event

Each object

Double sided

Ponder all

Accept equally

Until necessary otherwise

Bringing the rage of the storm

Back to a comforting whisper

Of a friend,

Of the warmth of spring

Hypnotic Hallucinations

Walking the earth

Believing all is normal and well

That nothing has changed

And all is reality and truth

Believing all that lays before you

Floating on air

Skipping through meadows

Spinning in the rain

Facing the heavens

Laughing, filled with joy

Head in the clouds

Dreaming with eyes open

Seeing as no others see

Hearing as nobody else hears

Feeling completely free

People worry you’ve completely lost it

That you’re a lunatic

That you should be locked up

That you’re drunk and drugged

People are only half right

You are drunk, drunk off your high spirits

You are drugged, drugged by love

You are high, high off joy

You are insane, insanely happy

You see things in a new light

This perspective which others fear,

They fear to be different

They fear to step away from societal norms

They fear to see things another way

Tied down by their fear of being wrong

Instead they heed naught of others

Remaining close-minded and enclosed

Hiding in the confines of one’s own cage

Built to keep others out, but traps them in

As well, blocking any reviving thoughts

Dying as a breed,

Weakening the human race

Bigotry, arrogance, and prejudice

Empty the heart into cold emptiness

Poisoning the brain with invisible venom

Whispers

Simply strolling

Silently thinking

Seemingly unaffected

By the turns of the heads

As always, never ceasing

People to gossip cling

Muffled words thrown around

Empty of the truth each sound

Still, walking, head high

Passing confidently by

Not a single tear,

Whimper, or sign of fear

That is merely at a glance

The outer shell, the only chance

If the truth they knew

The act is through

The brave and courageous,

The certain and outrageous

Simply put in authenticity,

Timid, afraid, and hurt in complicity

The whispers tossed about

Brought a confidence drought

Tired of expectations and lies,

The only protecting shield, my guise

Continue striding proudly,

Laughing it off loudly

Surrounded with people genuine,

Repairing the destruction within

Chasing Inspiration

Tapped out of ideas completely

Unsure of what to write

They simply won’t come neatly

Thoughts scrabbled and out of sight

What is wrong with my creativity?

Where has my muse gone on vacation?

Which way did my imagination flee?

Who stole my inspiration?

Hiking over mountains high,

Running through valleys green,

Sprinting across deserts dry,

Swimming into oceans unseen

But I realize now, that it’s all around me

Each object and motion, inspiration to a degree

Illusion of the Heart

Romance and passion

Subconscious revelation

Love and lust

Deceit or trust

With a look in the eyes

That was your demise

With a part of the lips

Your sanity slips

An accidental glance

Suddenly entranced

Gazes locked intently

Seems out of reality

Can’t break away

To one’s dismay

But mere seconds gone by

Then not a wish to try

Breath forgotten

Too besoughten

Others around

Nowhere to be found

Fogged up mentality

Lost all trace of rationality

Heart over mind

Senses inclined

Leaning forward

Inclining toward

Through the eyes’ windows

Reveals their true souls
