Do you live your whole life
  in a half empty space

Do you swear up and down
  your excuses defaced

Do you sing in a choir
  where the music has died

Do you brand all as liars
  as your tongue remains tied

Do you rob from the master
  just to steal from the slave

Do you hide in a mansion
  built on top of your grave

Do you look for direction
  trails barren and thin

Does your soul beg correction
  torn away from within

Do you begin every sentence
  tracing back to the past

Do you waste precious moments
   —writing checks you can’t cash

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2016)
You’ve  said
that you’re against
all wars
but yet you allow
your mind
to remain in darkness
depressingly
fighting a war within
yourself
I must
remind you
A Rose is a Rose
Love is Love
Just like
War is War

WAR
IS
WAR
MY FRIEND

It’s time to decide
what you’re going to do
with what’s happened
to you
Happiness doesn’t
come to you
It comes from you
It’s time to create
an environment
conducive to joy

WAR
IS
WAR

PERIOD!
WAR IS WAR NO MATTER HOW SMALL..
Life is fragile and fleeting, Live Well , Love yourself!

That’s the message!

Zeth
and as we breathe,
we exhale seconds
of our ticking breath
in a single lifetime.
only a single lifetime.
i watch from afar
all my old friends having fun and growing without me
some remember my ghost
but others have no recollection that i even existed

all those pictures
remind me of the times i had
this comforting sadness

im happy to see my old friends
yet here i am
half the world away
watching from a distance,
as they make new friends and new memories.

i can't go back,
but i can't seem to move forward.

so here i lay
me and my friend sadness.

They say good things come to those who wait
And only fools rush in
But I missed the boat the other day
While sitting on the fence

They say hands so cold
Tell of hearts that are warm
But that can't be right
What I feel is a storm

They say two wrongs don't make a right
And what goes round comes around
They say shoot for the stars
But keep your feet on the ground

They say there's a window
That can see to the soul
But if that is the case
Mine's surely a door

Out of sight, out of mind
Out the picture, out of time
Out of luck, out of touch
Out of order

But don't cut any corners
Haste makes waste
The first cut is the deepest
Cut straight to the chase

They say knowledge is power
Ignorance is bliss
And practice makes perfect
(what about a kiss?)

They say life is what you make it
And there's plenty fish in the sea
But I'm no pescatarian
Just bark on the wrong tree

They say the rotten apple spoils the bunch
But it doesn't fall far
So take a leaf from someone else's tree
And always follow your heart
We say some pretty dumb stuff
The throne, hell is great for me,
it feels more and more, it took its name.
The server is a sport for life, it's a normal
way of development. There is a doubt
that children are hopeful of luck, cloud,
breathing the odor, let the application
be blind to the tiger, and now the pain
of writing is joyful,                          air art and food brightness as determined
by the winter and the whistle
and with a lot of life, here to capture Maurice,
a great sea, the way through the city and hope
that it will be based on the people,
the poor GDP for three nights,
shining more than the nature of the NANNY
of the Machine Nifsi's public food
is very important in his mouth. Very good summer,
autumn and long list. We are in horoscopes

Changes in the darkness of the moon
Wrong information, contact the tire t.

The brain's life pillars can feel that the mind,
like the eyes of the night, is essential to the sun,
the light of intelligence and the destruction
of the habit of the light of the soul does not exist.
Hand, hands, my good idea will be born.


Changes in the false information
of the darkness and the moon, contact the tire t.

The throne is the big hell that feels most.
And peace, who took his name.
The server is so abusive, usually,
the living environment. And the boys suspect
and hope to regain the cloud, breathe the odor,
leave the blind application to the tiger
and pain screams to write all the art of the air,
the brightness of the food, in winter
and the wit, and with the widest part.
From life, given its way to the city,
its hope for the people, poorly
the GDP for three nights, by nature,                          if the machine is the one
that sweeps the most, the Fuel is the most
important public benefit. Brown Brown Brown
Brown Brown Brown Very good summer,
autumn and long list. We are in horoscope,
with the hope that it is so dark
that they do not think and express
their happiness and are afraid to talk
about a happy and pleasant dream
and sleep when the death is black,
and that their blood is not without
a sweet child In general the pieces of CNN
nuts still beat and they can still talk to you,
collected in the pig
as red water, who wants to convince others
that the truth of wounds is majority of them.
Teeth, rain, rain, look for one of the best,
not joining his memory is a letter of dark darkness
with a strong old man when he began to reign
and then scare before such problems?
Hagia Sophia, Lille's daughter, came to the end
of the auction to Christ in moving depression,
which is effective.
Satan, formerly called Lucifer, is the first major character introduced in the poem. He was once the most beautiful of all angels, and is a tragic figure who famously declares: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." Following his failed rebellion against God, he is cast out from Heaven and condemned to Hell.
