as i look ahead in life,
i see the world with stillness
not even a breeze
for a sudden storm
poured down in a different way
people were dying
children too
for the rain was poisonous
now i sit here all alone
i close my eyes
not waking up
to this horrible place
that was once
a wonderful and beautiful

just like today and tomorrow
that death doesnt cross
my mind in sorrow
too many bumps
too many bruises
not enough bandage
as blood protrudes
once again in sorrowful wails
i await to see
if my attempts fail

sitting in a rocker
only hearing the chair squeak,
children outside
playing hide and go seek.
with the wind so still
and the trees standing with ease
the squirrels sit and watch
the motion of the falling leaves

So i sit here and wonder to myself,
what exactly is wrong with the world,
With every passing day,
there is starving,
there is homeless,
there is killing,
there is hate,
there is envy.
Why is it that when there is a tragedy,
it pulls us together.
why can't we stand tall and proud,
And be the Man or Woman our parents have taught us to be.
Feed the starving even if for one night?
Offer space for homeless so they know they are not alone.
Embrace our fellow man instead of violence,
Shake a hand of a stranger and say,"have a great day."
Look up to others,
and learn from example.
Why do we have to forget how it use to be,
and settle for how it is today.
why do we give in,
or are we are giving up?

Broken Dreams,
Broken Hearts,
Broken glass to fill my arms.
Tears of blood,
Fall down with ease.
Tears from my eyes,
Fall down with peace.
Falling down with a sudden sound,
With my eyes i was surprised.
