He smokes cigarettes to set the ocean on fire.
And before he can even dry a drop
from the salty carnival of waves,
he has already consumed most of himself.
While the ocean, the waves, all of it-
will not mourn for him no matter
how it roars of blue,
no matter how it bowls
the most ardent tears
lavishly.

when they ask me, "Why would you want anything on your body forever?"
I can't help but think, "Don't you realize that it has already marked you?"
(forever and ever, always, big or small, no matter what way.)
Against oppression will you stand with me? Against the face of injustice will you stand with me.?Under the fear of violence will you stand with me? In all things right and just will you stand with me? Will you stand with me to make a better world? With you stand with me to end fear and hate? Will you stand with me before it becomes too late? Only when you stand with me can a difference be made. Only when we stand together will our voices be heard. In unity and in protest against that which we see as unjust. Standing up and doing what we must. Though we risk our lives and fortunes, in God we will trust. To stand up together and do what we must. Will you stand with me?

i watched my sanity wash away with the bathwater and **there wasn't a **** thing i could do about it.
this is the last mile of the long way
       i'm homeward bound
my bubbly resolve now holds sway
      i'm on the home stretch
this is where my dream comes true
       i'm firm and positive
this time around i took the right turn
      and i must surely get the prize
this is where we smile and are happy
     i'm one of the chosen few
this time the glow is huge and luminous
and my struggle leads to the next struggle
     this time my reward is certain
she waits for me with a glass of cold water
lodged deep inside the pupils of her eyes
     and i know i dreamed it all up again
Don't be a part of my life.
Be  my  life .
