I grew from a tree... Into a beautiful beast I grew to believe... That my lean to the east Was due to the sun But every other tree was straight I picked up a gun... And cleaned the slate

Crooked Tree
My people, my people... that's all you hear, But really, are we all equal? You see it all the time, you see it in everyone's eyes, the laughs and the lies As this happens, the river flows red Crimes of hatred they say On the news words are twisted And once again my people, my people, the full story, we missed it Turns out we're trouble thanks to the color of our skin, our age, the jobs we are given, the pride that we have and the knowledge we lack blamed for the world's problems, drug dealers and so on so on the crimes they stack In reality, the real reality, not the imagination that extremists recall as reality but the cold reality seen through an immigrant's eyes, a minority's eye ,the youths eyes we are only here to help and create an everlasting peace between different cultures with slowly increased confusion, in confession we say to ourselves, we're all the same, consumers and buyers, but we all aren't, some of us are cons and liars, deceiving and thieving, but let's forget those for they're the outliers, progressively we're changing, but sadly as people are aging, the change is non-apparent and when I say us, I mean us, the people, the wealth and the hunger not us the separate who preaches unity and yet has such things as ghettos and slums of which no one cares, to whose street traveled, no one dares instead of having one united diverse nation. without fear, separation, depression an intense sensation of grieving expression. Illiterate and mute, that's my people, and I'm proud we don't need to speak to show you our speech is free, but if we could perfectly talk the language of the higher society, the language of the credible and flexible , we'd say we'd hate to have your liberty and prosperity, for we have something better; a family union, a home-cooked meal in moral values of which you do not, and that is my greater power, we live under the ignorance of Philosophy to whom the end of life there's no insurance people live and people die anti-hate and self-loving policies will never die...Anti-state, anarchy to all my apologies for the wise never lie...

What is love? Where do you find it? How do you define it? Is it spiritual? Is it mystical? Or something physical Maybe it's fictional What is love? Is it a feeling? Or a state of mind? Something appealing Or something blind It all depends on the naked eye Many are hurt And call it a lie “I Love You” People use those words to much And pretty soon their meaning will die What is love? Kids fall in love, But honestly they don’t And when it comes time to confront The reality of things they don’t accept Their lives will become a battlefront And when they’re rid of the butterflies Left in rags And the lady cries The boy will hold up the white flag Lonely, cold and done Soon their love will all be gone What is love? In reality love is non-existent Idiotic, pointless and a killer Just to end up a horror story and a thriller…

What is love?
These furry creatures Climb and climb making it hard To see their features

Tree lovers
The trees, they sway, sway Making winds of power stray Lifting as they may

Nature
Forgetful they call me,a man of few words Let me be, and forever open doors Open your soul, open your mind Travel in your mold,and leave your troubles behind Lossen up, and be free Loose the red solo cup, and get a hold of this rolled-up tree Loose the stress, Let me be your preacher Take the express, and find your inner creature

Lonely traveler
A paradise In your arms? No, not really Still not safe from all harms. The moment's still a little hilly But years from now, who knows... When I heal, And the pain doesn't come as it goes Maybe then, you'll be real And not fake Like a fast food meal Easy to take Hard to let go You're bad for me, But I continue, Leaving scars;stories to be A present,;my past, my future anew Destruction within For being with you Causes one to sin But your intentions, They're all seen through Like deadly infections You seek onto me, Hoping to **** me I slowly suffocate As you start your passage In which my soul, you navigate As a dark and cold savage You eat away at my soul With words of a python, a snake Slithering in the cold Bitting, slowly killing With what pieces you take I regain my health in a matter of time I see no longer with the eyes of a blind man, But with those of a mime...

Silent Death
‎Wonderlands and questions within. Many come, many go No one can handle it, so their minds spin And what they go through Is a pain all of it's own Thoughts to be seen Fully engaged and fully grown What does it all mean? Simple, we're all free Free of thought Free to bee Free and yet freedom is still sought A shadow in the light. ‎What is a smile ? If not a sin? What is a smile? If not feelings hidden... Tears in between Words mixed in as lies Beauty indeed, never seen In these curves, time flies Complications and rough times cheapened and weakened Worst then pennies and dimes Scars now deepened... Worry inside Love inside  too Happy outside Hypocrisy outside too... Rocked and shocked Feelings intertwined Side to side aligned Blocked and locked Emotions unseen Broken dreams Days of teen Years of ever-lasting sadness streams Farewell, farewell...

Harsh Reality
My heart aches whenever I think of you So I turn on the radio, but every song I turn to Is about us From the fairy tale love story To the couple always fighting, that made you worry So I turn it off and cry Away I wanna fly From every sad memory I turn off the car And throw your pictures on the dashboard Step out for a minute And wish for more You were everything to me I want things to be... Like they were before And it might seem dumb But eternity was just a term for me And love that lasted not Shall be reborn and given light Love's path our heart shall take... And our souls through it happiness shall make...

A Day Has Passed
Life Life Life What is life? Greens reds and blues? Blacks And whites for those deprived Tints and hues. Separation and unity Combined from seperate views In one as conformity For passion For love For fashion For hate For fake And for fate We dress and we wine We stress and we shine stars they say Scars the soul As it heals in a way Lies we are told Lies we believe Lies we repeat Lies we never achieve Lies we defeat The truth indeed- Without a doubt Will set us free Yet we scream and shout We scream and shout... Hidden in a box Hidden In lies Wisdom in detox Purpose dies Drugs stuck Freedom a game Of nothing but luck Wilderness wildly tame
