| War Two Times have changed Not for the better War has come again A war that has no end No end in sight. What does war do Besides cause gref and pain? Suffering and shame? Is there a point to the fighting? To me ther is no point No cause could No cause should be great enough to take anothers life. God gives us one life O:ne life to live. He didn't give us life So that we ;might take anothers. What is war? I s war only for country's that want to destroy each other Or is war going on in our schools? Is war not only the physical But the mental and verbal? Is it not war when we tease? Descriminate? Cause fear? Or Hate? Is it not war when a gang fights another gang. Let us not fight One another Let us fight the violence that causes the pain and suffering As humans we can stop the Physical, Mental and Verbal wars that always causes greater suffering The violence that leads to countries fighting one another. As humans we can stop it! Let's do it together. |
| Lights To many lights for dreamers To many lights for stargazers To many lights for people trying to escape their reality. To many lights for people trying to escape. |
| Slow Dance How peaceful a time. Life slows down for a few minutes. Everything revolves around You and me. I love the feel of your hands on my back. The way you hold me The way you sway Makes me feel so peaceful. I pray this moment never ends. I rub your shoulder Leaning in I rest my head Swaying to the music This seems magical. I have never felt the way That you make me feel My stomach flipflops and I sigh. You lean your head down And pull my lips tp yours. We kiss and realease. I once again rest my head on your shoulder. Content and happy. |
| Open Wounds Physical wounds close It may take time but, they do. Mental wounds fester They never seem to heal They never heal because Someone always remembers. Open wounds never heal They lie in wait Only to reapire. Phyiscal and mental Open wounds never Never Heal! |
| Wonder Sometimes I sit around and wonder Why the sun shines so bright It seems to me it tries and tries to cheer this lonely soul. Pain and resentment I have felt over time Now that pain comes from my friends How can I bear the pain and ridicule the way I do? Sometimes I wonder why they treat me so "What did I do?" I ask With no hope for an answer. Our friendship is being telsted and I fear that maybe this time our friendship is for loss. |
| Who Can I Trust? Who can I trust? With the secrets of my heart? Who can I trust To always be there? I look to my past Looking for a key I find one constant My families My bloodline family My mom and dad My young sister And wise grandmothers My martial arts family My father and aunt My sisters and brothers My three cousins. These are the people The people I see That I can trust From start to bitter end Though even these people The people who think Think they know me best Know, but the shell that is me. They don't know the secrets The secrets I shall take The grave. |
Pain I I know several types of pain Physical, mental, sickness and abandonment I have felt every kind. Though the worst pain is loss. I have felt this once before I don't think I'll ever recover Now I forsee this pain again It haunts my sleep and waking hours. I fear it will haunt me for as long as I live I feel its breath behind me Its voice calling in front of me I want the pain of loss to leave me Before it drives everything away Family, friends and martial arts Are all gone away All I know is that pain will follow me All of my life I will have this pain as long as I live. How long with that be? I don't know |
