You
touched her,
her dignity
laying lifeless on the ground
staring
at a monster
even the animals
wouldn't look at
now

when we tell them.
i will have to be the one to explain
a story so insane.
ill explain it wasn't love at first sight
my heart beating against  
all my might.
i have already known you.
you are a reflection of myself.
how could you know this,
when you've never known her?
you can always recognize your own energy.
you always know
the sound of your own drum.
i was drawn to an energy
the  same as mine.
but opposite all aligned.
an aura without a place in this time.
something about her reminded
me of mine.
something about her reminded
me of the me i left behind.
before life changed
the beat my drum made
at one time.

Not now, darling.
Don't judge me
When you haven't asked
Why I've done such.

Not now, honey.
When you haven't wondered
Why I said so.

I don't know how I messed up
So badly that it seems.
Logically not thinking,
Mind crashing in the darkness.

My mind is affected
By the hate that you propagate.
Yet I do nothing
To stop it.

I share it and say
That awareness is a need.
But in truth, it is my selfishness
That gets in the way.

Spread love. Spread it now.
Try to look at yourself
In a mirror that is no bias.
Ask yourself, "Where could that love be?"

We were all taught to love
When we were but little tots.
But how come now,
It seems as though we learn hate.

The world is dying.
And it is burning.
We are rotting
In the hatred we are spreading.

Help! Help!
Help me now! Help us now!
There is not much time
But idle ones for the ignorant.

Spread the good
Not the bad.
The world won't end
When you don't get upset at something.

Think first before you do it.
Does it make peace?
Does it destroy wars?
Keep in mind that this world is burning.

As we are extinguishing
The mistakes of man
With fellow fire
As we burn all in the pyre.

You know if I had those comic book X ray eyes
I'd probably wish that I was blind
Because, you see a lot of people are in disguise
They walk Normal, healthy, and obviously alive
But inside there's no vigor, no spark, no life
Translation they, Including myself at times
Are like the Walking dead, alive but dead inside

So how do we cure this outrageous infection
and stop this plague during the height of its insurrection
the answer is simple, reach out, extend the olive branches attempt to forge those connections
Or the walking dead will continue to walk and assail us with no protection

Have you ever felt like you have a purpose?
Like you know that you were placed in this world
to make a lasting difference?
i know i am destined to change lives.
i feel that is and will be my riches.
not some paper with dead white men.
have you ever felt scared with that responsibility?
nervous that you don't measure up to the expectations
of the higher being that strategically placed you in this world?
i don't want to fail any of the souls who are seeking refuge
in a listening ear and a sincere heart.
I know I can't be there for them all but if i can be
for at least some...if i can show someone that they are
loved, strong, deserving of happiness, and that life is not as
****** as it seems but it is something beautiful, just like them.
if i can guide someone to see their potential and know that they
can accomplish good things and be thriving individuals
then, i believe, i can drift on knowing that i fulfilled my purpose
