Let's have a moment of silence, for those who understand.
We who lack the knowledge; children beaten by the ******. 
Infected by the hurt inflicted, by just a single hand.
This silent moment is for those who hid their father's brand.

For those who lie there centered, in the evil play of man...
If you find this poem relatable and it clings onto your mind.
Look back on the ones who've hurt you and do right where they did wrong.
Try to find it in your heart to forgive them; throw it all behind.
If you can cast away your resentment, you are clean, fresh and strong.

Mr Passerby
For the longest time
Restrictions were placed on
Everyone and the world was under an
Endless reign of monarchy
Doing whatever they want
Oppressing the masses
Miserable

From the oppression we learned that power
Ruined people's lives
Ending this fear would help
Ease the fear
During our time we should focus
On what really matters the most
Making lives better

Freedom means doing whatever you want
However, you're responsible for your action
Use freedom to your advantage
And make the world a better place
Do what you can for the people
                                            world
                                            helpless
Freedom to express
                     love
                     write
                     speak
                     live
                     change the world
                     push for better
                                     best
                                     perfection
Use your freedom as a human being and be the change you want to see in the world

Thomas King
Stuck in this place
Full of empty space
Where the deafening silence
Awaits a verbal embrace

Just one utterance of hope
To be given the strength to cope
And I will unwind the noose
From the end of my rope

Just one ray of light
To regain my sight
To be able to be set free
From all of the anger and fright

Unable to bear
This mask of shame I now wear
To keep living this lie
That anyone will even care

But now it’s too late
My feet now fully off the crate
And my body is now free
From my minds loathing and self hate

I am part of this barren landscape.

Plain and transparent.
Endlessly incoherent.

To the shadows and coolness, I wish I could flee.
Sadly, I’m trapped in the centre, with neither a soul or anyone of my breed.

Lost and isolated from the world, or at least a few.
I long for the moment when I can start living anew.

Shrouded in heat; thoughts I cannot rid myself of.
Not even a single heartbeat could I ever hear of.

Alone, desolated.
Alone, devastated.
Alone, frustrated.
Alone, my hunger never sated.
Alone…



I
Am
Not
Alone
Anymore



Together, elevated.
Together, saturated.
Together, integrated.
Together, my hunger always sated.

Unified…
I adore you.
I adore us.
I adore we.
I adore men.
I adore women.
I adore…
I…
