Steele

The one that I could
take away the pain with.
The one who'd take me
to my dreamland and
be someone to play with
like when we were six.
I've always dreamed of this.
Take me back to my
childhood and let's forget
about this adult ****.
I can't really remember
the last time someone
was close to me.
But you're so close
you're almost inside
my heart - this is what
love is supposed to be, right?
I wouldn't really know
'cause I can't say that
I've experienced it.
I want to be yours
forever if you'll be my angel
even when I'm lying
in a six-foot pit.
I want you to be the
light in my tunnel-dark life.
I want you to stay
with me tonight.

Day

who decided who is good enough for a country filled with people who constantly act like they are better then the rest of the world?

when Americans are more concerned about who they let into
"their"
country
then they are about what kind of junk the put into their
bodies
is when i get concerned for the people as a nation.
because if Americans are more frightened by something they only
think they know about because of slander they see on
facebook
then they are of the growing darkness of the country as a whole
then
i guess
we're alot worse off then i realized

honestly I wish I could just help out everyone. If I could reach out to every starving child in the world I would. It just makes me sad. I'm getting my degree in Social Work to help people and I really want to travel.

RECESSIONAL

You are fighting again
And want me to come
To worship at your temple
Of the dazed and dumb
Who are led so easily
By the mention of God
And find us who question
To be diseased or odd.

Don’t sing us songs
About your holy wars.
That is really not what
Praying and progress are for.

You dress yourself in medals
And thousand dollar suits
And pretend merchants
Are not your family roots.
You think to disguise profit
As your one raison d’etre
So you speak flowery nothings
And haven’t made sense yet.

We have untold resources
To heal the lame and poor.
Endless war is not what
Praying and progress are for.

You create your holy mantras
About defense and protection
While every kind of help for us
Meets with official rejection.
You make excuses to invade
And make money out of death.
Then, make up tales of threats
Until you’re almost out of breath.

Don’t sing us songs
About your holy wars.
That is really not what
Praying and progress are for.
We have untold resources
To heal the lame and poor.
Endless war is not what
Praying and progress are for.
