Traveling to another land to escape,
Yet the house offers misleading hope.

Leaving from home to seek a dream,
But the next location can’t fulfill bliss.

The exact problems are still alive,
Staying with you in your new residence.

Running from misery injuries the soul,
Stabbing the human mind with regret.
Michael LoMonaco Aug 2016
Boredom causes a fake illusion,
Believing that the clock moves slowly.

False perception of time becomes stressful,
Begging the experience to end quicker.

Irritation inflames patience by waiting,
As fumes burns more tolerance.

A disciplined mind knows speed of moment,
As the hourglass always moves at equal pace.

Destiny can deceive our dreams,
Wrecking the quest for success.

The plot is arranged in order,
But the conclusion is waiting to be told.

Anticipation is a lethal weapon,
As the sword of curiosity can kills goals.

Follow the story with caution,
So the plan won’t stab you in the back.

Hate is looking with blurry vision,
Despising variety with misconception.

Painting a portrait of ignorance,
Seeing opposites as a villain.

Different ideas are seen as mysterious,
Detesting all unknown viewpoints.

Dissimilar looks is viewed as a threat,
Causing war when peace can exist.

Differences can form a truce,
If fear can be replaced by curiosity.

Misery wants to hold your hand,
Trying to convince joy into feeling sad.

Asking you to follow an unhappy path,
Despair can be extremely persuasive.

Sorrow doesn’t want to stand alone,
Wanting other people to feel depressed.

Reject the hand that offers false hope,
Even if the route of happiness is a lonely trail.

When destiny takes an awful turn,
The power of faith is truly tested,
Putting good versus evil into war.

To keep traveling in the hot desert,
No matter how exhausted you feel,
Even when quench of thirst is strong.

Staying honest to the doctrine of virtue,
By not letting vileness corrupt your views,
Especially if temptation offers promising hope.

By walking the journey with full exertion,
While keeping the path fully righteous,
Loyalty is given to yourself and a higher power.
Michael LoMonaco Jul 2016
All outcomes are driven by desire,
Fueled by the intentions to succeed.

Not every result is created equal,
Due to the justice of the means.

Good versus evil battles for cause,
Deciding the value of success.

Vileness leads to an easier end,
Throwing out worthy principles.

Winning with virtue is harder,
Keeping integrity in progress.

If the journey is kept righteous,
The soul will earn a higher prize.
