#unfairness
Same womb, same rooftop. Children grow up quick or late. Two plants side by side, Controlled by so-called fate, Failing to receive the same guide. Just like one sky, two puffs of cloud One peacefully silent, another thunders loud. Unique forms, different treatment, One blessed by joy, another flooded by rain. A baby plant grows up by the love of sunlight Why does another search for the mercy of a flashlight? Eyes of parents are supposed to look the same, Yet sight gets blurry behind the golden name. Maybe equal love is conditional to claim. Siblings are like two tiny fish in one tank, Where one is full of life, another feels blank. In this unfair world, One thrives with invisible perfection. Some of us are judged by visible imperfections.

Sibling, Not Same
Devastated I left the past. Relentless, I reached the highs of now With new promises to vow. I sit and I overthink, I know I am losing if I blink. My mind is racing at the speed of light, I've done too much to prove I'm right. And I hope it serves you well, With new words and gossip to sell. If you sit your head on that pillow at night, You're the one to sit with yourself and thy spite.

Devastated
I trusted you. I really did. Back then, I was just a kid. Two years of agony have burned in my soul. I’m sorry, now why won’t you let me achieve my goal? You took the freedom from my innocent, wounded hands Watched my happiness disappear like the infinite grains of sands Like I’m in a prison, security everywhere Clutching my fragile heart, with every wound and fear And you can blame it all on me But now I won’t even tell you who I want to be Now I’ve matured, and finally moved on Why won’t that strictness of you carry on? Why can’t you be the person I thought you were? Why can’t you treat me just like her? Why must I be the person you lash out on? Why won’t you miss me when I’m gone? It’s because you took everything, even my personality Now, I’m a nobody. Just me and your brutality.

Brutality
The king sat upon his throne Announcing ideas in the gentlest of tone The people disagreed, and they fought back But aggression was something the king had lacked They rioted with pitchforks and torches The king saw them yell out each night on their porches And eventually, they set the castle ablaze The king fled without even being fazed He found the kindest people under the trees The opportunity to build a new kingdom he had to seize The palace could prosper with the right support Unlike the old one, which could only distort So he built with the people, leaving his mark Until his eyesight started to go dark He woke up in his old, burning palace again Surrounding by the sound of illogical, angry men He realized his prosperous castle was only a desire “It was merely a dream,” he thought, as his skin lit on fire.

I am a beast Contributing to the earth's pollution Intoxicating soil and financing the royal If I could gamble to be any other living thing I'd take a spin on the wheel and hope for death to be my win

sympathy for the daemon
There are many things in this life that you may need, want and the synonyms of such But bear mind, That which the Gaia is unfair for us man do not always have a white salted beach, but bear in mind, which is subjective For even if life gives us the orchard the farm the tree that has been passed down as life; we are but just one moment one moment that makes us wonder "why is life such a big bruh moment"

Why is Life Such a Big Bruh Moment?
Smother the Smoldering flare inside. Simmering, Seething *** kettle scorched black. Subside wrath, suppress anger, succeed. Be still. Coldness, chilling ice, constant hush. No thoughts, no collateral damage. Control it. ||How can I help?|| Space, slight, broad. Inexhaustible darkness with few stars enticed. Burning, ashes caught in the back of my throat. Shhhh. ||What are you feeling?|| Boundless frost Desultory embers. Be nice, be kind, breathe, exhale. 1, too, 10. Go to sleep.

Smother
We all cry from time to time In between sheets and behind our eyes When the heaviness of everything weighs on our minds We scream out in agony these very lines: How could the world be so unfair to me When I was born a baby with nothing to share or bring Yet it placed its weight down on my bare skin And gave me the sharp end of all it has to give And while I haven't yet cause any sins to be punished It made it its business to show me whats ugly And even though there are those who suffer much deeper Pain than I have ever come to witness I know that there are those living abundantly Who have done things thats deserving of this suffering I may be no saint but I am no demon either So lift up your reigns and give me my freedom

I'll **** my own pride to go on this fairytale ride to become a distressed damsel to live a life stable There are no fancy knights alive no one teaches them what's right we'll be waiting half our life then proceed ahead on our right Little late on this race there is not enough space running knowing no better getting a place whenever The world not shy to show the unfairness same status, more the less crowning someone else the royal prince it has this same ending long since.

Sleepless nights and alcohol Prolonged days on caffeine and adderall Running too fast I'm out of breath I sit down to recollect myself Ponder about death I swallow a breath of fresh air And think to myself life isn't all that fair We live to die And die to live As I sit there I realize life is about what I give I continue about my days Sometimes I dwell about my thoughts in a negative haze I destroy all aspects about the world up until this time And create a new world A world in which I shine Duality is essential to the way I live A black pool of space Five shining stars thus take that place A never ending cycle of give and take A world that isn't fair And that's more real than it is fake

Duality
It is curious that the most wonderful of all last so little. When the caterpillar blooms and begins to revolutionize the world casting small light to endless darkness dark haze absorbs the glow into nothing and the butterfly cycle comes to an end. There is a small amount of spark deep down in the nothing that not even the rulers of this world expect but with the courage of the soul another butterfly will burst to life and rattle the darkness.

He stands like a Michelangelo Statue of David; Naked, perplexed Shoulders - flexed Abdomen, stretched. In his **** glory He carries a pitchfork, a warning glare. Ready to slay Goliath, with his bare snare. A symbol of strength, youth, beauty And I must protect his duty. For he loved me as the stoat loves the hare. And I loved him as the poor girl that loves the rich, old man. I all but food for his stomach A helpless maiden, haunted puppet.

If One Could Choose Their Nationality...
From nation to nation All around the world The Ruling Class Though many times outnumbered By the rest Sit bathing in the sun In their Ivory Towers: Born to Richness Whilst millions of Poor Just starve to death. Hordes and hordes of people, Without clean water Or food Or a stable roof over their heads. No medicine, or Education, or Anything That Costs. Governments give “Aid” to other governments To “feed the poor”, But we all know what happens… What we need is a “Government of The World”, Or some Benevolent Despot to Rule us all. Anything must be better Than the impotent UN Or these shambolic “nations” – Puppets of Globalisation. Revolution threatens – It often does – Until the rulers appease us With token concessions And brainwash us Though The Media, So called “Education” And Religious Dogma. When will we learn? Where is Democracy and Love? But, bound by Political Correctness, Woe betide if we Complain. The Cold War continues, So all we can do Is soldier on For The Common Good. Paul Butters

We had agreed to meet up today I called you twice But you didn't pickup Earlier this evening I called We talked I asked what happened to our agreement You said "were we supposed to meet today? Hahaha oh yeah we were" My heart tore The art got destroyed Then you went on by saying that you had forgotten and tis not important Wow all this time I thought that I was important to you You still went on by saying you will make it up to me This is how you thank me after all I've been through and done for you huh I forgot about making myself happy by ensuring that you're happy I don't know Maybe I'm just the girl who has to ensure that you are where you're supposed to be and that's it All my the me investing my time and self will be enjoyed by someone else This is so unfair If this is love then I don't ever wanna love again Maybe I'm wrong I shouldn't have shown you my home Now you know where I sleep If I knew I wouldn't let you in Now my pillow is soaked with my tears Oh nothing could ever fix a dented soul

It is difficult to be a man, For I am not a typical one. It is hard for me to go on, There’s a secret that pulls me. I loathe when my memories strike, They hit emotionally with might. I struggle so much to survive, In a world so deaf towards my cries. I look at a He and my heart convulses, For I recall a He who gave me kisses. I was young, forced and naïve, I fought but He was much stronger. Society might tell that I’m gay, For I let a man violated me in a way. But I’m not a ***** and I’m sure, I play a role for which others envy. When I was a teen I met her, I admired her even if she’s older. I was then shy and very timid, With mental and emotional scars. I thought of her as a dear friend, Then she turned to be my worst fiend. One instance she forced herself on me, And used things that hurt me so. A girl’s tactics differ from the stronger *** Tears she used first and blackmail next. She was cunning, sly and very clever, She stole my pride and my dignity. My fears now mixed with anger, My determinations got bolder. I still cry and sometimes get lonely, Like any other victim I want to fight. I can not shout to the whole nations, For societies will scorn at my declamation. Both sexes forgot that I have feelings too, I am also made of flesh, bones and spirit. I am not proud of what I become, Within me clouding reasons try to calm. My desire is to win this battle to the end, I am capable of vulnerability like any human. But where does my right begin? This universe has compassion for women. The likes of me are expected to be steel made, Yet I have feelings too for I am just a man.

How can we eat while others starve? How can we sleep at night while others don't have a place to sleep? How can we deny help facing those who lost everything? Saying we don't have the funds Yet we waste food and money. Locking out those who are desperate for help Closing our eyes On which point did humanity die?

Do not be sad when time has betrayed you because, dogs have always danced on the bodies of lions. Do not think their dance gives them power, for dogs stay dogs and lions stay lions. Lions die out of hunger while dogs eat lavish meat. Those ignorant sleep on silk while the wise sleep on dirt. Yet, in the end dogs stay dogs and lions stay lions.

Dogs and Lions
As pure as water can be, in an affluent and wealthy country, My soul has a Cornelian dilemma when it comes to purity. How can we be good people when we live so easily? Innocents are dying of thirst and I take a bath every other day. Does it really count if one buys organic and fair-trade items, When it is that easy, that accessible, and they are still hungry over there? But what else are we allowed to do, that is not too compelling? What can our money do, when all it does now constrain others? I try every day to be as good, as pure, as I am able to Though I still feel futile, small... and unrealistically optimistic.
