What do you see when looking into the eyes of child?
Do you see their smile and think their innocence a crime?
Would you take them and burn them to satisfy your need for death?
Would you bomb them and make sure there is nothing left?
What do you gain from hurting children?
Perhaps they’re a threat and should be treated as villains?

Hatred in its purist form, barbaric and raw to the very core
When innocence is slaughtered and blatantly ignored
Both sides using dreadful tactics to win this war
When civilians are the ones suffering and all that’s left is a corpse

What drives this hatred of difference and religion
Are we not all the same and created through ambition?
A lifeless body should not bring you ease
The suffering of a nation should not appease

What the creator must think when he watches in vain  
Satan must be gloating, you've secured his domain
Rejoicing in victory when the consequence is bloodshed
Trying to justify your reasoning with destruction

The teardrops of these children, the cries and screams
They are battling demons trying to take their dreams
It breaks my heart that they must submit
Whether it be to death or a life of devastation
Trying to numb the frustration and lack of sympathy from this human nation

Hope for a better world, pray for a change
Fear for your life, find comfort with those estranged
Freedom confined, caged up like animals
This is the barbaric side of humanity, what happened to balances?

Blind to the war, deaf to the cause, silent to the destruction
the humility of humanity, the sympathy, the love is it not enough to reconstruct?

When the ringing of the bells awaken your soul
And the earth beneath your feet crumble your bones
When your body becomes but dust and sand
And your soul flees to escape the unplanned
When you stand before the creator himself
And atone for your sins as though to prove yourself
When the life you've once had flashes before your eyes
And the sweet sting comes of not saying goodbye
When the good and bad are weighed with a scale
And all you can do is watch as the truth avails
When you realize you've gone and time is up
And nothing you do can stop you from sipping deaths cup
When death becomes you and the judgment is final,
And the faces you see are but primal
When hell accepts you and tortures your soul
Remember this time there’s no parole…

They say love is varied and comes in many forms
I have tasted it’s sweetness and survived it’s dreadful storms
Aloof and lost in a world of sin
What is it that that connects us and makes us kin?
Could it be that we all have a story to tell?
Or that we’re all descendents of those whom first fell?

When I think of Adam and Eve who fell from grace
Who brought about suffering and pain in their disobedience, to the human race
What thoughts she must have had before that knowing bite?
What thoughts he must have had before joining the tide?

What do we do that defines us a people?
If only we realized we’re all totally equal…
All of us crazy to the very core
Trying to hide the shades that make us roar

We are but human, one and all
Yet we brand people based on their position
Just adding to the black and white addition…

Why can’t we love each other is it that hard?
What makes you treat the next person like something you can discard?
Is it me or has the world gone mad?
I’d take anything over this hell and be glad

If i had one more second, one more minute,
one more day, one more week,
one more month or one more year,
I'd tell you how much I love you and how proud I am to be your daughter.
You've been there for me through the years and helped wipe so many tears,
I couldn't have asked for a better dad,
I pray that you will be proud of me in everything I do
and that you'll know you raised a daughter whose values will always stay true.
It's been 2 months since you've left and gone to God,
know that you'll always be with me, in every thought.
My heart is broken, shattered to pieces,
i feel empty and alone with nowhere to go.
Why did you have to leave? Why won't you come back?
Ever since you've gone I've been off track,
but I know that I have to make peace with you leaving
and I know I have to be strong
but today I'll cry for you and imagine you hugging me,
for today I just want to reminisce and think about the days past,
when you were healthy and happy and I was the princess of your heart.

I love you Daddy♥

She sits….waits, ponders as the darkness arises
She’s lost in a sea of emotions, an overwhelming surge of melancholy
She hears them calling her, the fear of the unknown, the fear of the known
She hides and tries her best to block them out
Alas, they're near, closing in with every second that passes
Fear of denunciation, fear of admonition
The ghastly forms they take at night is enough to drive her mad
Yet all she does is sit and watch them as they burn her dreams before her eyes
Her talents gone in what seemed like seconds
Her heart a ****** bath of wrongs and rights
What can she do to make them go away? To make them all just disappear?
She’s in a never ending circle contemplating the one thing all her values go against
Her religion, her beliefs urges her to stand strong and not give in, why should it even be an option?
Yet every day the scars go deeper and deeper; it calls to her during the night
It makes her think and ponder that if she takes that ticket out everything will be alright
It’s a one way ticket straight to hell but is this not what that is?
It goes on and on and never ends, should she commit suicide or stand strong till the end?

I watched from a distance as she slit her thighs
Saw the blood run, and watched as she flashed a wicked smile
Lying in the bath, blood dripping from both thighs
Lie back, relax, breathe in the pain, and don't push it aside
Thoughts of peace fill my head, all you’ll feel is bliss once you're dead
I cried, I pleaded, yet she would not stop
Why hurt me because you want out?
Back into my body as they shook me awake
All I feel is a numbing pain slowly going away
I promise never to do it again
I swear it was her, not me, she makes me go insane
I tried to stop her I really did, but what could I do when she sat there determined to win
She laughed at me, called me weak
Told me I don't deserve the love that you have given me
I prayed for God to forgive me
I hope he understands
I want her out, she cannot stay, but how do I make her go away?
Now I sit with lacerate marks, unable to move, I'm paralyzed with fear
Fear of what she could do, she'll ruin me if I don't give in
Lord help me, save me; free me from her malevolent deeds
I’ll do anything, anything just to break free…

As I sit in the night sky, watching the stars fly by
I can't help but be amazed, at what God has put in grace
My heart yearns, searches round, but it is with great despair that I've found
I am lost….lost in a world of misery and pain throughout all of times past
A world that drowns my soul yet makes me feel so whole
A world full of expectations, dreams and disaster
Wasted time, wasted years…I have found nothing through all my tears
Awaiting the day that salvation would come, little to know I already had some
My life seems shattered, my heart distraught, yet alive I am with the time I’ve bought
I take a look in the mirror and with my reflection all I see is despair
Help dear God, I don't want to feel the flare
Deep within I feel God speak, "my child" he says "do not weep"
“For I am with you, your friend, your father
I shall hold you up when you're down and broken
Don’t you see my child? You're an amazing wonder
Amazing in so many ways, handmade with all my grace
You were created in my image, just follow my pace
Take a leap and trust in me, I will deliver you, you will break free”
With that, a spark in my spirit, I feel a jolt of hope and victory
I am amazing in so many ways; thanks to my God I've found everlasting grace
He is my friend, my father, my serene wonder
