Some people will never know
How good it feels to have a righteous soul
Some people will never understand
What it means to be the bigger man
Some people can't contemplate
How wonderful it is not to hate
But you and i are one and the same
And righteousness is the name of our game

I am a fighter,
unbreakable under their taunts.
I am an optimist,
seeing that life is not a series of misfortunes.
I am pacifist,
looking for love rather than conflict.
Life is what you make of it,
don't make it bad,
in perception or action,
we can all change it,
together.

Always a gentlemen
Never a ****
Don't lie, Dont cheat
And don't ever hurt
Fight the temptation
Refuse that desire
Don't be the spark that causes the fire
Speak with ones actions
Fight with one's words
So your characters known
As a man to be heard

Don't scorn them when they call for blood
For they don't know any better
Let them live their pitiful lives
With a dark and hateful center
Cherish them as you would a child
For they cannot be helped
Give them pity and give them peace
And be your righteous self

"You want to hit me, fight me, kick me or bite me.
You think you're tough, you aren't.
Come, try to fight me, you won't succeed!"
"Oh yeah, why?" He hissed.
"Because, my friend, I'm a pacifist".

“If you grow old, it is your own fault,”
I say to Terry as we climb
the mountain behind his cabin.
Terry is wearing a device that transmits his heartbeat
by cell phone to doctors at Stanford.
Terry has a flutter, nothing serious, probably.
Terry has a great heart, actually,
something serious, warm and wise.
We ascend this hill on Tuesdays every week
discussing poetry and plumbing, our twin passions:
the gathering of mountain water funneled into pipes,
delivered to homes,
the ordering of words funneled into pages
delivered nowhere, sadly.
We discuss friends fallen or falling,
the arc of marriages, parenthood, oddball relationships,
each a story and a puzzlement,
webs woven of love and rage.
That, and motorcycles, we talk,
pacifist veterans who walk still seeking sense
of an incomprehensible war that shaped our lives.
Objectors, conscientious, we realized too late,
not an easy path but better than following orders.
We walked away from war.
He, the Air Force; I, the draft.
Branded dishonorable.
So we hike, hearts pounding,
the simple friendship of two old men
seeking the hilltop
again and again.

Another dawn alights this battered desert
Time has stood still in this wasteland
Blood soaked soldiers painted by decay
The gods have averted their gaze from this corner of mankind (mayhem)
Bombs waking the dead
Sleep deprivation & churning bellies
Cast down the stars one by one
Because I wont waste another bullet...
Another bullet for the wounded
Another fallout, another stalemate
The finger on the atom bomb trigger is getting itchy
Glitch in the system, systematic devastation
These zombie eyes are so hollow
Bombs waking the dead
Sleep deprivation & churning bellies
Cast down the stars one by one
Because I wont waste another bullet...
Another bullet for the wounded
Pale and bloated corpses line the wartorn streets
Machine gun fires as intrepid heroes rise
Who is watching my six? Who's got my back now? God? Man?
Bleeding out and shedding crimson tears
Dear God why have you cast me into the flames?
Mother, Father why have your hearts abandoned me?
And all I crave now is the sweet release of death's raven claws in my veins
Hazy vision, it all seemed so simple in the beginning
Dazed and breathing shallow, inside and out
God please save me one more bullet for my visage
Dear God why have you cast me into this purgatory?
Mother, Father why have your angels abandoned me?
I will not save another bullet for the wounded...
I will not shed not one more solitary tear
I will swallow my reverie, my death rant is my eulogy
Sound the funereal bells, this war is over
I summon the dark
I am a weak timber falling with no one to hear my passing
Heartbeats throbbing in my temples
As I grab this death vehicle & bring it to my face
I wont waste another bullet for the wounded
I think I will save it for myself

Nature is, what you are not.
It’s fires swallow up forests;
so new life can bloom again,
while the ocean will take back beaches;
when land grows too greedy.
River waters rush and churn,
so only the strong can grow
with the power of evolution.
You burn so soft,
as not to wake the dark, but,
your fire will wither out,
for faint flames-
stand no chance against the wind.
You won’t move forward,
yet you won’t move back,
for fear of rocking the boat.
I say,
let the waters rise,
burn through the weak,
and I will rock this **** ship.
I say,
let's take a swim,
and let the water flip and carry us away;
for you won’t get far on the shore.
I sit and let the storms rage on,
for I’m a tornado of my own.
I just hope you’ll learn that peace,
doesn’t always get the job done.
Take a risk,
rock this **** canoe
and you’ll finally find how to breath.
Sincerely yours,
Raging Fire

I cast a wish into the world,
A message from a good old girl,
As I wish for good intentions,
From a pacifist, I mention,
Make the best of every situation,
Step back from their manipulation,
Nasty makes negativity,
Let's hear it for positivity,
I am okay here today,
Are you okay this way?
Yes, we're both good as gold,
It's a ****** to be growing old,
So let's pray for tranquil ways,
Peace means calm, hooray!

Welcome to the Pacifist war
No harsh words, no knives, no guns
Welcome to the Pacifist war
No one lost, but, no one won
No blood's been shed
No bruises, or broken bones
Civilly and politically
No morgues, and no tombstones
No hand to hand combat
Nobodies feelings hurt
Not a single battle fought
No effort, too exert
Not really all that bad
A hipster, revolution
Not built in reality
And providing no, solutions
