storyteller
tell me a story
it needn't be true
just something
to drown out
the droning sound
life makes.

I just want to hold on to you and feel you breathe...
Its all I need
It's crazy what people do in the extreme when they put themselves in the pit of it
Everyone dreams in a language
receives the same message
and interprets it differently.

Poetry's
one of those messages
dreamt of in languages
and
seen in wild images.

Mirage's mirror me in
this dream
a sweet symphony
and it all comes back to me
but somehow
differently.
World poetry day 2017.
there was once a tree
who refused to let go of its leaves.

there was once a tree
who tried to hold its leaves.

but when the time comes,
when the leaves wither.

there is nothing the tree can do but


to see its leaves
slowly falling down
from its branches.*

Slandering words are overly misused
Racism against white people is excused
Children are taught that life does not matter in school
disrespecting the peers around you is suddenly deemed as cool
Trying to make it acceptable for minors to be extremely violated
While the truth and reason is completely and utterly annihilated
Living in a world where people starve, die from disease, their names
forgotten. While you have privilege to run naked in the streets spouting how
the new President is so dishonest and rotten. When another disagrees you cry, you
sit in a world of fake news, selfish celebrities and Tumblr post that feed you lies.
You are not an activist, you are a sheep. Following the crowd of people who are clueless, who have taken a big leap. Into a pond of lost identities, leading to where they believe that something amazing will happen, something bigger than Christ's resurrection. Yearning for what they really want.

Never ending attention
