Silence's Speech
Raiven Everett Jun 2018
I'm tired of forced upon silence 
by the need of society 
decades pass by

i sit here wondering why 
they all say its ok 
when clearly its going and gone
already

Why must i remain silent 
so i can watch the world be taken to its death
Why cant anyone see

That if this is okay
we are all *******
We use 
use 
and use

Beyond a share of this beauty stricken planet
once many other animals roam 
you can say its the natural order 
all you want 

but tell me is 
Overhunting and modifying all within sight 
a "natural order" 


We hate murderers 
but we ****** the worst thing to ****** of all
So tell me again

How we are all going to be okay
as more decades pass

We wait 
and wait for science to fix things

News flash 
science isn't going to save 
the after effects of science

Truly mass ****** of other species is not under
that "natural law"
those rights we all so deserve
because we are some "gods or goddesses child"

If so why cant we get our ego 
our pride out of the façade 
and see past the 
mists of mortality

Why must we destroy 
The greatest gift we were given
As we fight among ourselves

Our gift 
Cries for the words of silence to be spoken 

to have her story spoken and not silenced 

Our greatest gift 
soon will be burnt out 
if we can not see beyond that of our sight now

Destruction isn't inevitable
Just lies beyond the mists of the facades of reality

Just reach out and embrace 
As you finally transform 
past the futility of a small child of earth

Gift of Gaia
Raiven Everett Jun 2018
A loving mother some state
a barrier of truth lies in these words 
the rest lie in the maintainer of that reality

Earth does not need us to survive 
but the opposing is not true 
as from birth 
we fall on the ground and stare at the stars 
always having a ground to fall upon
making it a bit easier to stand 
delicious foods growed upon the land 
lent to you by the life of the land
gives and gives until the land once given is corrupted 
and the love becomes painful 
answer me who will be blamed 
the other creatures as we build factories
upon the gravesite of earth

What land are we leaving for others 
to fall and entrust to 
Why must we be blinded 
by the need of material damage
listen closely 
will the voices of the trees surround you in time
or will we create a world
of volcano
and deserts 

Tell stories of trees 
instead of climbing them and mountains 
we dodge them
saying they are business's property
the amazon forest
the amazon desert all the same 
as we have amazon prime the only thing we care for
the nile 
the Missouri and all rivers turned to enemy 
as the grounds are polluted to toxicity

You will say you love them
but will you love the world that we left 
if you have to think of something 
think of the future of humanity nonetheless
will you let the world go to shambles
or finally see....

The evolution of humanity lies in mankind's hand

Insanity
Raiven Everett Jun 2018
Insanity
Is within my sights
Dignity lost within my rights
My act of sleep comforts 
No more
Wishing for the relief no more
Sanity lost in upbringing
Joked upon never having any
Insanity corrupting my insomnia
As sleep 
Never becomes a relief

— The End —
