We name the oceans
We tame the lands
Encasing what was
In what we want it to be
We count every second
We pair up stars
We chain them together
And chase after skies
We want the world
To be all for ourselves
But we keep forgetting
That oceans are living
That lands have heartbeats
And stars like to fly
We are control freaks
Chasing over things
We could never control
In hopes to feel
A little less lost.

And
like
a
fool,
I
waited.

The greatness of Nature cannot be denied.
Her grandeur is plain for all to see.
Such sheer determination can only be admired.
See that tiny ***** on yonder rock face:
Some miniature plant has taken hold
Where nothing else could live.

We know that Mother Nature rules the Earth.
But what about the stars?
Billions of exoplanets wave at me
In my mind’s eye.
For life right here can thrive in boiling acid
And solid sheets of ice.

What scope for life is there out there,
Amongst the swirling galaxies
And gassy nebulae?
I tell you now:
There’s almost ENDLESS Opportunity
For life to evolve
Around this Universe
Alone.

Yes, she’s much, much more than “Mother Earth”:
More “Mother Multiverse”.
Mother Nature multiplied a million, million times.
Imagine That.

Paul Butters

If it ***** with someone's head,
If it breaks somebody's heart,
If it violates someone internationally or externally,
Why wouldn't you be a bad person for doing this to another?
*And then blame who you did it to.

can someone please come here to me
crawl in my bed tonight
i can't stand this ugly lonesomeness
for one more sleepless night
i tried to drink my cares away
i numbed myself to ease the pain
i traded in a try hard man
for a bottle of whiskey
and a new set of plans
but nothing i do feels right yet
and i guess this is just what i get
for not knowin where i'm goin
but still showin and still growin
& i'll be living life quite recklessly
until my graceful death it seems
