"Man in his arrogance"
-Carl Sagan

--May you rest peacefully amongst the stars--

All we have destroyed..
Look at the skies..
Those stars..
Those dreams..
Those wonders..

Money and power
Splendor and valor
Music and our judgment

We do seem.. Paradoxical

Harmoniously dissonant
We were given ourselves..
By Nature or by God..
A gift of a chance..

Why do we draw lines?
Lines of paper copied from earth
Counties and countries

Simple foolishness

Earth is home
Keep it simple
Help it stay that

Your opinions matter
My opinions matter
It is our species

It is what we know now
All the meanings we create..

Humanity is insignificant
When sketching with the pride of ego

As we drew lines around beauty to claim it
We whittled ourselves down

We must not hate intelligence

We must view Humanity..

As the Moon did long ago..

A blue wonder's residents..
Miracles..

Free of lines
Free of our own abuse..

I am only words..
Love is my hidden explanation for respect
So I worry for her..

The moon..

I would see her tears
I would hold Earth's Moon's hand..
I would if I could..

She exists terrified
She would float away
She strains against our gravity

I cannot blame her..
We made life a fire in front of her

Yet still there is Hope..
We could build a floating heaven..
You are not bound to Hell
You can live

So live and forgive..

The stars are waiting for you..
Embrace your dreams
Make them yours..

We are us..
And us is all we have
Nothing is forever..

Life exists to be lived

Appearances
The hope of judgement
The expressing of oneself a tool for sentiment
Judge not the appearance of the woman 
Nor the postured stature of any man

She never meant it
No money she had to end it
Then judgement was thrown against it
Her silence lives where pain went..
 
As she walked through a doctor's doors
You called her everything
Then a little bit more

As she lost what was dreams
Still hated ever more..
Forever scorned..

He was kind
Society is so blind
No one is born with baggies in hand
Money is torture, so he made a drug plan

Now take the father or mother
They simply fell ill
Yet even still verbally they abuse them
Hating them on a whim at your will..

Homeless after a career
A Mother
A Father
You created their fear
And on the streets humanity ends
Pain draws so near..

Looked at as bums..
Seriously?
My God ***?

This leaves me stunned
Anger of all gods we wrote into existence
Now only fuel for each instance of judgment
Harsh words in an instant
Devoid of raw substance

What have we done? 

Do you not see this?

We took love and kindness

Now they seem dead
I want to live freely..

As my heart burns in my head..

I think of good soldiers chock full of lead

What have we done?

We should have loved instead..
Look at them

Real lives
That have been rendered dead

A horror, tears on our pillows
Souls of weeping willows..

The unspoken thoughts that live in my head
Beg you to care instead..

Please learn love..
Kindness..

We can still make it
If we work hard at it, friend..

We can end up ahead
Speeding toward goodness

A lesson
Pain of the past

Light speed for light years.. Years long 
Tears fall strong..

I sing with words silent
Setting aside my hells inside..

Sometimes in life you just gotta move along..

Will you hear my song?

Because we have had this strength

...

Had it all along..

My country tis of thee
Land changed hatred free
Violence for the judged
Silence for the observer
Evil never budges
It changed kindness to brambles
Left my flag in shambles
We could pick up the pieces..

This is an american begging his populace to put an end to this..

We exist as broken as the lives that were stolen..

Too many are dead
We pray in our rooms
No cure no med

Tears upon the pillows of our beds

Ignorance
Arrogance
You've no heart to know
So apart we grow

My country tis of thee..

We are dying in this melting ***..
Such horrid heat, lost in thoughts

My country tis of thee..
We grow as we fade

I am not the only me
You stole yourself now we cannot be free

I beg you
Wake up

Hatred shut up

America grow up

This is not what veterans fought for..

Shame on you
Love a blue hue

Task of a saint
Heart of blue paint

People have tried but hearts have turned faint..

I melted fear
Ice of the trapped
But that grew doubt
Hunter of smiles

I run but its smart
My heart will see the good
But my mind..

Will analyze you to shreds

Should my guard ever fall

Know you have a gift..

Its the task of a saint
Loving a heart of blue paint
People try but its hope feels so faint

So as I fall in endless rhyme
I still get back up with every line..

Knocked down reliably as air gives life

Becoming more human every time

Virgil led me to a dream
Into a nightmare I could change
It is truly strange

Duly noted, my ego, my urge
Seen and considered

Morality or less
My stress and this mess
Withered as the rest

Virgil had met one similar
Many journeys ago

I was never the man, never him
I even judged the lost
Karma makes ignorance pay a cost

This Hell I made..
Oh, how I have paid..

In the mirror stands Dante..
But I am not the man, never him

Like many I lived blind

Now..

The Circles carry me away..
But I never paid for my forgiveness

Will that be enough?
