We fight,
With such might,
We lose sight,
Of the light.
Day turns to night,
Drowning in plight,
As hearts fill with spite.
Anger to ignite,
Flames to new height.
The fire burns bright.
All this despite,
Trying to do right....

So give up this fight.
Use knowledge not might.
Give blind back their sight.
Share all inner light,
To take back the night.
Humble in plight,
In spite of one's spite.
Peace will ignite.
Raise all to new height.
Thoughtful minds will be bright.
All this despite,
Admitting we're wrong.

everlasting black

planting and then digging up the past
like grasping hands of shattered glass
scattered patterns come back fast
an attachment to the splattered mass

blackened fragments of first and last
spattered paths that lead right back
stabbing agony that will never pass
shackled to the everlasting black

#insanity #regrets #revenge #vengeance #dwelling

no one saves you

this whole human race is crazy
I walk upon a ground that craves me
no one ever said that this world would please you
and no one sees you

it really isn't hard to please me
but the beginning or the end ain't easy
just a due to be paid to the ground that craves you
and no one saves you

Duality (Yang)

Positive light emanates,
Infection passes through its hosts.
Shattering fears, eliminating doubt
Buoyant nature, this hope floats.

Take the high road,
Viral hands reach down,
To pull all willing from their darkness;
We will share the crown.

Eternal mother enraptures open eyes,
Singing her benign siren song.
Bearing the fruit of enlightenment,
Transcendence won't take long.

Free ourselves from hate and greed,
Striving for the whole.
Together as a unit,
Harmony the goal.

Calm connection of wide eyes,
Optional are words in silent poems.
Unification complete now,
No one left alone.

Aggregate into asphalt,
An army of one light.
We march upon our demons,
To take the darkness from night.

Symbiosis

Inspire me.
Ever changing awareness creeping in.
Change me.
Learn me.
Then forget what you've learned and teach me.
Knowledge becomes stale muscle memory.
Inspire me once again.
Break down the walls of stagnant repetition
and inspire me.
To be better.
To be different.
To remember.
To forget.
Metamorphic in my travels through time.
Inspire me to have compassion.
Inspire me to be accepting.
Please, inspire me.
and i will inspire you.

Duality (The Yin)

Negativity breeds negativity,
Falling off of tongues, hurtful words we say.
It's lonesome in this City,
A communicable State of Decay.

Fight fire with fire,
Does that not seem absurd?
Amid this lonesome City, State...
Our precious structures burn!

God is dead, as is compassion,
Empathy as well.
Becoming anger, blind fruition,
Selfish tides due, swell.

Purge the system of aversions,
Feed the Demon's wrath.
Void of all Love's inspiration.
Another epic lapse.

Silent words upon my brow
Debate translates to lies.
Apathy takes over now,
Recognition burns my eyes.

Now that we have laid these bricks,
That pave the way to Hurt,
Repent our sins, inflict ourselves,
Return the ash to Mother, Earth.
