"I cannot wait to see tomorrow, but I will live like I just couldn't wait" --B.Decatoria
I have an issue with history..why does it only remember the first man and why does it celebrate only the victors? ...the men who followed the first man worked equally hard and the defeated deserve some respect as well.
He who lives only for himself...doesn't live at all..for that cannot be a life worth living.
Be it a promise or an apology..if it ain't sincere..if you don't actually mean it...there's no point making it.

I love Hello Poetry!!!
.
Each creates all that appears..
This truth which startles
each longs to experience..
Simply..
Each longs to be free
of Newton's hold
but the freeing presents
as lonely folly..
Simply..
It seems each uniqueness
must dare to experience
this old new truth..
Simply..
The pumpkins and gods
all new creations each creates
soon vanish..
Simply..
That which remains
turns..dissolves..and Knows..
Simply...
These words must point
and must burn..
Burning in their origin
to which they now face..
Thus revealing the light
of Aware I am..
These words are short lived
having risen as mind
in their original vastness..
Words shine in our knowing
the flames they become..
Rising and burning
serving our Joy...
What a strange world it is we're living in,
some types of love, thoughts and looks
are considered sin.

People here
they hurt each other,
until they all feel paper thin
and no matter how hard we try,
we let all the hatred get under our skin.

Oh what a strange world it is we're living in.

I wonder if the one
who created this world
and made the planet spin
is watching us now
with a cruel or sorrowful grin,
when the war we unleashed
may begin,
whether he smiles only at those
who win.

Will it be latte, espresso, or tea
Daydream coffee drinker, that would be me
Nat King Cole on the audio
Singing about things I already know
People watch
Coffee cup lipstick blotch
Pours the cream to cool the steam
Fearing what the future will bring
I may be living on a shoesting
In a coffeehouse daydream
Things are better than what they may seem
