Individuals evaluate their own opinions
and desires by comparing themselves to others.
Grow up with a family of perfect siblings around,
was to compare by parents.
Knowing studies wasn't good during school times,
was to compare around friends.
Knowing wasn't much talent in yourself,
was to compare among the public.

That girl over there?
her brother is so awesome.
That guy over there?
he dumb.
That man over there?
he can't do anything at all.

We were all labeled by others.
What happen if we take off the label?
Does our name reveal and tell people that's who we are?
Do they accept the fact?
We aren't that perfect, we aren't that smart, we aren't that talent.
Still, will you accept just the way we are?

we are just a human that try our best to live.

I sit
at the
center of
one worm-
holed world,
wanting to
wave words like
"young" and
"skinny" at
women who
would want to
hear them and
I wonder,
with Williams
in my ears,
"What did I do
to deserve this?
Am I happy?"
Hair curls
down from
crown to
third eye to
throat to
heart and
I wince as
my solar
plexus sings
Celtic chants and
its songs
radiate out in
waves of
"oohhmm."
If you've
already heard
of me,
that makes
one of us;
I'm driving a
mint-condition
hand-made
bus powered by
thunder claps and
electric jazz melodies
into the
cosmic sea
to meet up
with Pluto and
make myself
his mistress.
Chain me to
the baobab
trees of your
perceptions and
I will claw my
way to the
mountainous flat
tops of your mind,
laying my limbs
out like wet
laundry in
silent soliloquy
dedicated to
your soul
finding a
use for
the word
"free."
Your ice cream
cone dreams
may start to
melt deliciously
but forgo your fear
and lap them up,
then abandon
the drops for
want of
fresh fruit and
cool, cool water.
Be cool,
baby,
let the otter
make the
moonlit path to
paradise and
mount your raft
to ride it only
twice in
one life.
Keep your
eyes peeled
and put the
carrot skins
in the compost.
You are the
one you need
most.

Different opinions...
Are they really worth fighting
Over with others?
We are all humans right so why do we limit ourselves to just seeing our opinions and arguing when someone say something you disagree with?  As long as they are just kept as thoughts then shouldn't be they be allow to think whatever they want?

Well Fu#k you,
P#ss on a stick you f#uckwad
Jesus
Christ
In
Heaven, a talk about religion,
Its like I've killed five people
Then smiled at the camera,
I understand their are views
Believe
Pray
Atheist
The second coming of the anti??
Matter
Abortion
Christ
Tell me what's got your man thongs
In a twist,
Which view is right,
That each person has a view,
But don't believe in their symbol,
"What am I prince"
Then the cold shoulder
Hits,
Smacks,
God
Almighty, I have respect for others
Yet to not believe is the highest
"Crime of all"
"Please respect, as I do you"
"Yes my thoughts are the minority"
"But don't hate, segregate, class lower than you"
"My thoughts are my own"
Just because it don't believe in your deity
Respect  me as I respect your thoughts,
Even though I don't find them *true..
Conversation with a person in the street, I respect others but to say I`m an Atheist seems to relegate me to filth... please do not be offended I respect all but because I don't you get the picture..
Pain and payment saturate me
Beyond the better disbelief of this
Leave my body on the pavement

Pray this degradations done separating
Whispers heard through closed doors
Leave me in a blatant panic attack, panting

Your head on my chest, i think of us
Keeps me warm so wont you write soon?
all i asked of the guardian angels

She said you will be a much better author than I, I smiled and said
I know you will be fine

He grows on me
His branch and tree
A stretched out mist
Pet villainy

My rosy friend
My sweet defend
You’re not my mind
It cannot end

How touched we are
To outshine a star
Beneath the stream
The Venom tar

Dance along
My dance, my song
A body weave
Of threads so long

Now check my grip
Now blush my lip
We’re friends so now
Well water sip

Sadly the world is changing
Sadly we all are
Happily Ember and me
are changing together I write
Poems for her she writes poems
for me back this friendship is
everlasting
so are
EMBER & I
Meanwhile we're changing
at the same speed

We are still us
**EMBER HATES ME
To ember evanescent and to all the followers who have a best friend and are changing in the same ways

Silly little beings,
Who look down on others,
Around them,
And curse those who aren't
Like them
Or change as they grow,
Oh,
Silly little beings who hate
Life
And
Others
Table salt without pleasing flavor is useless,
like a weak Christian lacking “good works”;
for the World is in need of divine examples
of how to live within the Kingdom’s framework.

There are many souls craving spiritual waters,
to have their endless abyss of thirst quenched.
Are we testifying of God’s Love to reach those
in strongholds- where they’re firmly entrenched?

Unless there are obvious and significant change
in the personal behavior of our everyday lives,
the World will have no real motivation for faith
when there’s no evidence of transcendent lives.

We’re still called to be the salt of this planet,
demonstrating victorious lives as saved brothers;
As Christians, we’re supposed to add loving flavor.
We’re responsible for generating thirst in others!
