in the distant bodied foggy vision
the people and the chorus couch in fear
or rise to meet the unfairness, or just sit and cry
afraid to rise above greed , the small
man on his knees praying, as the power rises in him
a small seed in one is the beginning
of a large force bringing peace, justice is among us
if I alone seek it. Then may all bring their power to bear.
All dance with the man, on his knees.
Catcalls, tangled up hair,
Red cheeks, tears and ayes,
Rumpled dress, jokes so wry,
A neckless of polished shells,
Restless night, anxiety, tickles,
Fright, moonlit promises, garlands
Of wildflower, stolen kisses, a palm
Full of down from the thistle, laughs,
Larks, dried roses in a basket, a frog,
A crow feather, my uncaught breaths,
Being chased on the shores, tight hugs
In rain, held hands by the quays, hopes,
Rushes, joys and warmth of tomorrows
To come, some worries, awfully happys,
Winsome things sure fair, without strings,
Powerfully gifted, now, all things naught,
Of this I am sure, my dear unfaithful boy,
Your ginger lassie, she wanted more.
Late, late, late.
Late work, late period, late date.
Nothing good comes out of being late.
Late, late, late
Dread fills you stomach, tears fill your eyes,
You just can't believe you messed up by being late
Late, late, late
You want to fix it, but can't
Nothing can undo time, you're stuck being late
Late, late, late
Nothing good comes out of being late
"He who doubts his own will, shall be ******, not to infinite pain, but to a lifetime of discomfort, for it is not god who punishes man, but rather, it is man who punishes himself."  -William McLaughlin

"Only when forgiveness rises from the ashes of judgement and persecution, does then a man rise worthy of humanity and wisdom."  -William McLaughlin

"Faith in god can bring comfort to otherwise lost children, but faith in mankind can bring lost children home, for children are not born in the heavens...they are the sons and daughters of man."  -William McLaughlin

"And Whereas those who tred on anothers faith deserve a guilt riddled conscience, those who advertise their own deserve a well rested mind."  -William McLaughlin
philosophy is a great thing, use it, create it, pass it on, and you will be surprised who will listen to you
Sometimes it takes our desperation in something.
To finally see change from Christ our Savior.
Desperation, being broken, and a broken heart.
Are three things that God can and will work with.
To reveal himself to those that are hurting .
Another one is when you hit rock bottom here.
Because then you realize that this world is not about you.
Christ will take your life turn you around and do mighty things.
Once you become humble and start knowing that he is God.
I become a such song which is never sung by anyone.
I become  a flower which is never plucked by anyone.
I become a road which is never travelled by anyone.
Thinking back
Back to those dark days
Where I didn't think
I'd ever live to be 30
To get married
To even get a boyfriend
Thinking back to the day
I would harm myself
To ease the pain
Just for a little while
To the days I'd cry and cry
In the shower
So it wasn't obvious
To the days
I didn't think there was a way out
Of this dark hole
Called depression
But now
I've still gotten bullied
I'm 16
And still going strong
I have the most amazing best friend
I could ever ask for
This guy that was merely a stranger
I knew of him for five years
And we never spoke
But now he protects me
Keeps me safe
Makes sure I'm okay
Won't let me sleep
If I'm upset
Won't let me sleep til
He's made sure everything's okay
And he's bid me goodnight
My best friend stands up for me
Like no one ever has
She doesn't just stand beside me
And watch me get torn down
She speaks up
For what she believes in
The most opinionated annoying person
Who has a lot to say
But somehow she never gets old

sun and light like hope on
over hills so far away, yet yes,      
make me trudge again forwards,
try, try so hard to stay the course,
continue wanting to breathe,
seek the real world where  man
loves his self as much as his sister
or wife or mother, thinking maybe I
might find that world, here.
