The time you gave was precious and bright,
In little dreams, you lit a light.
Books that lay covered in dust,
Now opened again with newfound trust.
Numbers started to dance and play,
Hearts began to dream each day.
A short journey, just a few days,
Yet the lessons will forever stay.
A small lamp you chose to ignite,
Will shine in someone’s future bright.

In this world of capitalism,
we're driven by consumerism.
We act out of a sense of entitlement.
At times, we order others like a servant.
We think we deserve our rights,
and just for that we'll fight.
Just so that we can win,
We'll raise our voice and create a scene.
In our competitive society,
There is so much emphasis on productivity.
We end up becoming exploitative.
Can the outcome really be positive?
We need to think carefully,
if we can live with ourselves comfortably,
when most of our gain,
is built on another's pain.
Perhaps we should really see,
that we're not much different.
You and Me.
There's so much more that we could be.
Be the change that you want to see.
To others, they might be somebody:
A daughter, a sister, a lover, a wife.
Please give some honour to their life.

In a little church, where faithful ones
Are praying everyday for mercy
Then teaching it to their daughters and sons,
Whereof repentance they're always thirsty
In a little church, two famous ushers
Led everyone with smiles and vows
Nose powders and cheek blushers
Are flaking away, then drifting to the clouds
"Good morning, good Sunday!
Blessed shall be your family
All are welcomed here to pray!"
They'll be guided to their seats, calmly
Yet, for one woman of color
They would never ever smile
They will hide her from father's collar
In the corner, behind the last aisle.
Nonetheless, she'd come all Sundays,
With the bravest faith of all
That one day, they'd change their ways,
They'll learn the truth, beginning small…
In a little church, a young child
Observed all this and had enough
With bare feet and eyes wild,
She went and tugged the woman's cuff
She said to her: "Don't be afraid,
Trust me, this world is gonna change!"
And then a promise she had made
"You'll never have to feel that strange!
You'll feel included, you won't be judged
I'll take you to the best of seats
You'd be listened to and always loved
You'll get to know only good deeds.
I'll raise my kids to be always kind
And never rush to judgment
To love thy neighbor and to find
Ways to observe true faith in many!"
That young child, had wings unseen
As all gasped, hearing her speech
They wondered where their hearts have been
And how a child their minds can teach.
In a little church, two humbled ushers
Led everyone with smiles and vows
Nose powders and cheek blushers
Are flaking away, then drifting to the clouds...

Go inside.
Not only your home but yourself.
You are being beckoned from within.
The external world has nothing for you now.
It’s time to go inside.
To be.
To feel.
To reflect.
To get real.
To be vulnerable.
To pray.
To forgive.
To meditate.
To listen.
To examine who you’ve become.
To hurt.
To heal.
To let go of what’s holding you back.
To imagine who you want to be.
To be grateful.
To be hopeful.
To love.
To learn.
To grow.
To dream.
Go inside, and stay inside until you are at peace with yourself and our world.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world"...
But I was born upside down
and instead I am all the things I know I need to change,
but don't.

Words can be beautiful
Words can be ugly
Words can make your heart beat faster,
Or tears run down your face.
Words can sew you up with a needle and thread,
Or they can slash holes and scars in you that no matter how many times you fix them, they keep-keep bleeding.
Words can hurt.

The mainstream media feeds us lies.
Our food companies feed us chemicals.
Schools conform to the government.
The government is run by corporations.
We are taught to obey, work and consume.
Are we free?
No.
Can we do something about it?
YES!
Question EVERYTHING.
If you don't know something
look it up because
knowledge is power.

There are so many beautiful beings
Out there right now,
I see you all just being
So fascinating and passionate now
And maybe I couldn't see it
Cause I was clouded in darkness
But once I started to be it
I forgot about feeling heartless.
