Fighting wars over justification,
But are the fights a cause of reason?

Many conflicts claimed righteousness,
Even though evil intentions clashed swords.

If freedom can’t be won by the pen,
Good souls pick up blades to earn liberty.

Confrontations start by the struggles against imperfection,
Trying to survive everyone’s demands.

Survival is not from blood,
Surviving comes through forming peace.
Michael LoMonaco Mar 2017
Provoking the unknown route,
Carelessly running in unexplored territory.

Planning a determined destination for success,
Claiming choice leads to the person’s direction.

Unexpected events can throw plans off course,
As fate tells its own tale in the book of life.

An unusual death can activate misery,
Being laid off from your job can unleash poverty.

Destiny’s plan is a riddle,
Approach the puzzle with caution.
Michael LoMonaco Mar 2017
Lost in the maze with no direction,
Starting a journey filled with roadblocks.

Running to seek your destination quickly,
Needing to find the right direction to a mission.

Hitting a dead end at every corner,
Frustration ignites as impatience emerges.

There will be no sympathy on this quest,
As the riddles will keep coming.

The zigzags of life can be conquered,
Finding the way through creating your own roadmap.
Michael LoMonaco Mar 2017
Watching that pathetic glance,
As contempt boiled in my veins.

Each gaze erupted pity,
Looking at a face of misery.

Every glare sparked dread,
Seeing fear tear up a man.

Staring at my own fright,
The mirror spoke with conviction.
Michael LoMonaco Mar 2017
There is so much hate,
With rage depleting faith,
Crime rises to a high rate.

Embracing kindness through a truce,
Trying to end all of the abuse,
So love can produce.

Making this world a better place,
Aiming to slow down the race,
As love needs to be embraced.

Fighting to end the wars,
Starting by not keeping score,
And opening up new doors.
Michael LoMonaco Mar 2017
Rules of life advises against violating methods,
An act which occurs while impatience explodes.

Consequences rise to heated levels,
Feeling regret through skipping a step.
  
Guidelines shield people from danger,
As imperfection causes hazardous situations.

Achieving results at lightning speed is typical,
But risking safety will set a course to failure.

Letting perseverance prevail is necessary,
Staying patient as destiny tells its plot.
Michael LoMonaco Mar 2017
When misery dominates cognitions,
Morals travel to a foreign land,
Leaving logic to solve problems unassisted.

Guidance is challenging as thoughts think ruthlessly,
Trying hard to find the right perception,
But life always hits into hardships.

We want a solution back to meaning,
Where simplification from life seems to make sense,
A place that can be happier through our own ethics.

The return to principles starts with remembrance of purpose,
Recognizing the fight we have been struggling over,
As realizing goals will help discover people’s beliefs.
