HATE!!

WHAT HAPPENED TO
HUMANITY
THE INSANITY
ALL THE PROFANITY
SO MUCH VANITY
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER
GOD'S RISE
ON A SLIDE
ALL THE GOODNESS HAS
DIED
HATE
YOU CAN SEE IT
IN SO
MANY EYES
NO AGNOY
NO APATHY
NO AMNESTY
HATE
IN EVERY ACTIVITY
COMES NATURALLY
ANGRILY
WHAT A CALAMITY
A CATASTROPHE
THE DEVIL IS ON THE RISE
THE REASON WHY
HATE
OH IT'S TO LATE
HUMANITY TOOK
THE BAIT
THERE IS
A DATE
WHEN HELL WILL OPEN
IT'S GATE
BECAUSE OF THIS COMMON
TRAIT

"HATE"
!!

to you my friend

i did not mean to offend
we need to be on the mends

friendships should never end
through a life time, they should extend

walking alone
all of our secrets we have shared and known

memories remain
friendships should never abstain

just because
with no clause

now will you forgive me
my friend

there is so much more time to spend
no longer do we need to pretend

my love i could not share with the
next friend

they could never be my best friend

so my friend
friends again
until the bitter

END

why can't we see

what we have done
we have crossed all the lines
we have declined
all the warning signs
we have missed the deadlines
now one day our sun will not shine
to so many things, we remain blind
so stupid of us, that it never entered our minds
that we needed to be kind

to little, to late
to stop, mankind's fate
just wait!!

on this earth, the crimes, the crimes
committed against her
silent to what we have heard
we thought how absurd
and we just continue forward

when there is no more
songbirds
redbirds
seabirds
snowbirds
to late, for what we should have heard

then when it is to late
we will look back
wishing we would have listened to  and heard
all the warnings

that we should
and should have been
kind
to our mother earth
!!

It's time for all of us

To stop all the fuss
Slow, there is no reason to rush
To stop making to much of stuff
It's time we
reach out an touch
each other
Forgiving one another
Remembering we are all sisters and  brothers
Start showing love to the other
Just like you would to your mother
Not someday
but here and now
Not asking how
Making a vow
For us all to allow
Not forgetting
To smile at each other
Not forgetting
This place is  for all of us
It's time we learn
Bridges we should not burn
The tables need to be turned
It's time for all us
To stop being afraid of each other
To
Just
Love
One another
!!

Thy will, will be done

My strength is gone
I cannot fight long
If it's your will
Soon to you I will belong
How could that be wrong?
I am trying to be strong
I am scared as the days are long
That my gift, that you gave, life
Could soon be gone
When that day dawns
And I hear my name
There will be no blame
Through my prayers
I hope to be ready
My nerves will be steady
As I resight
Our father
Who are in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
As it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
and
Forgive our trespasses
As we forgive those
Who trespass against us
And
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine
Is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory
For ever and ever
Never think
It could never
!!

I will be able to breathe

you never know what tomorrow will bring

maybe your dreams
maybe a new song to sing
maybe a new fling
maybe something new that you have not seen
maybe you will be made a Queen
maybe you will be made a King
maybe an early spring
maybe everything
maybe an engagement ring
maybe a wedding ring
maybe a bee sting
maybe what was wrong will be made right
maybe you will go on your first flight
maybe you will no longer have to fight
maybe everyone will be polite
you never know what tomorrow will bring
maybe just maybe
everything will be alright
!!

with my last breath

i will ask for forgiveness
for my sins
as this one life ends
there is so much, i need to mend
with all of my family and friends
with past girlfriends
with my last breath
there is no reason to pretend
so i will make amends

i am sorry that you wept
i am sorry i was a man without depth
i am sorry for not being grateful
i am sorry for the promises that were unkept
i am sorry i was so hard to accept
i am sorry for the time that was not spent

with my last breath
in my descent
the bad things they were not meant
done i promise without intent
i do and will repent
asking for forgiveness i need no consent

i made so many mistakes
i never put on the brakes
with my last breath
i realize family and friends you can never replace
with life there is not a retake
what you do, what you have done, you cannot erase

with my last breath
I will ask
forgive me
please
!!
