Humankind
Togetherness, units, entities
All created as neighbours, to live in harmony
Yet history can reveal such destruction
inflicted by these very neighbours

Delivered to this universe to co exist
Not as one, but as many, but co exist
To learn from and to teach one another

Growing through the centuries
Excelling in their lifestyles
Sharing as brothers n sisters
And mothers and fathers

Love binding them through life's
same and also different troubles
Supporting one another
Lines blurring within one another

Building a better future for all mankind
People, animals and nature alike
Making our maker proud
For what has been created

Benevolent and most loving
For that's the real unforgettable Humankind

RAT
A nothing, a joke
He's not worth it, they say
Why do the poke

I am human, I say 
I have feelings too
Is it too much to ask
To be recognised for my truth 

You look away
As you don't like to see
It could happen to you
Like it happened to me

I made mistakes
Not huge ones you should believe 
It happened bit by bit
No envy for me

I ask for your hand 
A kind word and a smile
Instead you turn away
Looking at me and my bile 

Anyone can fall
And are able not to rise
Help me my child
And you could end up changing my life

Heal him
I asked, I pleaded I begged 

Make him
The way we remember him, at once my GOOD friend 

You have the power
To make him fresh

Hear my cry
Mend him, I said

Time passes by 
I see little changes
Signs of hope
But with little scope 

I need him to be well, cured is better instead! !

It's so long ago since he was my real brother
The very essence of him hidden under those unshakeable covers

Heal him
I ask, I plead, I beg

Expected and wanted you waited eagerly
9 months of loving your tummy oh so tenderly

Through sickness and pain you kept your cool
Time passing you by for the moment of truth

Then came blessed Reuben, a gift from above,
your first born, your new hope to nurture and love

Iced over
I'm too sober

Whiskey my lover
My cloud cover

Heat seeps in
This is no sin

Joy speaks
I see great peaks

Melting ice
She smells of spice

Heated passion
With compassion

Morning dawns
On the sunny lawn

Realisation it's morning
I slip out, no forewarning

Iced over
I'm too sober

Arguing like its a war that must be won
Voicing my right thats right
Your opinion differs so strongly it's not the same at all

Lacking unity and understanding
Not agreeing on the big things
Things that matter and that should be set in stone

We are different and it's more evident when we are alone
Bickering, being spiteful and sarcastic are what we know

Lashing out at one another in different ways
We found we don't fit yet again
The anger builds up and the venom starts to spill like a burst tap

It's out of control
Be careful
Be safe and don't push too much

I want to run in the opposite direction from you
I''m not bad or wrong
We simply do not agree
Who is to blame, the truth is no one

Until its calm again and we make up
We agree that we simply do not agree
And let the truth settle
That is that are two worlds trying to co exist as one, a challenging task for anyone

Minds are different as are the thoughts within them
Can two minds ever be the same
Yearning for one outcome

Can love conquer all
Will it prevail against everything 
Maybe
Maybe not
Time will tell 
For that remains untold

I used to cry so much
that I felt it never stopped
I cried about what had happened
and how he was so lost

I cried about the future
and how he would survive
I cried about his reaction
which was so unidentified

I cried throughout the day
morning, noon and night
I cried of all the hurt
and sorrow I felt inside

Now when I hear good news
I cry, oh boy, I cry!
For its now these special hope filled stories
that bring a shimmer to my eyes
