*** controls us all
but it doesnt have to
society tries to make it
but it doesnt have to
*** controlled me
so much that i thought i needed it to be
i would try and get laid every day
but thats no way to spend your energy
thats no way for a man to be
but i was blind and i couldnt see
now my eyes are wide open
society tries to make us broken
they dont want you to see past what they have floating
right in front of your face
its everywhere from the tv to social media
they dont want you to understand that ***
*** is meant for love
but it is not love
love without *** can be even better then you expect
save your ****** energy
use it to help you be who your meant to be
use it to overthrow the powers that have been here for centuries
we are sentient beings
sent here to live love laugh and change
sent here to do things before were sent back to the austral plane
ive seen what society tries to make us
and let me tell you
you dont wanna see that
its never to late to wake up
its never to late to make up
for lost time
for all the wrong youve done
its never to late to make up
for not being the god your meant to be
for not fullfiling your destiny
the universe watches over us all
it tries so hard to make it so we dont fall
but when we do
theirs always a lesson or two
no regrets just lessons
thats the most important lesson
and if theirs anything you get out of these words
its that your in control of it all
and if you dont understand this
maybe you need to take another tablet
maybe you need to meditate till you understand it
break away from what your told
everything you need is in your soul

it just rained
when i walk outside i can hear the earth sing
my soul sings
lets
all
sing
feel your vocal cords convulsing
feel the beautiful air surrounding
the gentle breeze engulfing
the glorious sun warming
watch the earth move in harmony
hear the birds chime in
everything is one
we
are
all
one
life is one big puzzle
we are the pieces
without one of us
the whole puzzle is ruined  
without one of us
we
are
all
incomplete
it just rained

Why ask why I like your poem? Be courageous in your ideas and ideals. Be confident enough to know that your work is true to your vision. Artists of all kinds, but especially poets, are the philosophers and prophets of their generation. A revelation does not passive-aggressively seek to be worthy. It just is. Revelators, in the converse, often are compelled to seek praise with false humility via the age old pretentious depreciation of the value of their work in order to reap praise, which is the expected polite response. It is a waltz I choose to sit out. I feel it is less than honest and a disrespect to the poet and the poem to revel in such frivolity. Write for the sake of revelation, not for the accolades of topical praise. It is no business of the poet why a poem strykes chords with a reader. Simply allow it to happen. Talent and truth are not always equatable, nor are beauty and integrity always comparable. In the heart, a poet knows he is a poet. By the very construct of your words, Poet, may you be the caster of many spells. Thank-you for sharing a bit of yourself with me. I bid thee Love and Light.
I am a voracious consumer of the poetry using on this site. Just accept the compliment of a read or a like without having to examine it.

a god drinking from his grail
goes to fill it with
water
you think you can deny me my birth right
my right as a human being
nay
as a living creature of this earth
my right to clean
amazing
plain
water
its the life that flows  
everywhere that it goes
literally
everything that it touches
it engulfs
with
life
it will not suffice
for anything less
water
it may have met its match
and if thats true
then me and you
wont be around much longer to consume
all this wonderful
life giving
magical
water
this is my first poem i've ever posted anywhere comments would be appreciated good or bad. thank you.
