Having just one
Is about the same, sometimes
As having none
Like a hand
Or a wing

Like a bird
Who's never left
A nest, it's empty now
Baby bird on the ground
Left to die, one wing gone

We are all angels, or demons maybe
But either with one wing
Is grounded, for all intents
Doomed, or ******
Forever, never to fly

Until one takes another's hand
Lifts them up, an angel
A demon, lifts an angel
Definitely something beholden
It wouldn't matter

When you fly
Leaning on another
Using their wing
To help their own
Nothing matters

It's their hand,
You fly, high
Side by side
Neither behind
Neither ahead
That fluffy little kitty cat,
on the window sill she sat.

She licked and cleaned and groomed her hair,
just living life without a care.

Her daily thoughts were simple and pure,
of meals and treats, and she, demure.

Never did she bother thinking
that our days upon this earth were shrinking.

Seldom did she dream of love,
or of flying creatures just above.

That kitty cat, she walks the line.
Cool kitty cat, and she’s all mine.

No idea where the inspiration for this one came. Just me being silly. I do that a lot, lol. ; )
 Aug 2014 The Unbeliever
Jack
Another silent Sunday morning
Waiting on the sun
Staring north along the tree line
Finding silhouettes still
And thoughts forming
As a fine sliver of light appears
Painting the horizon
Grapefruit shimmers
Lifting the darkness
That has coated my vision
And igniting my smile
As another new day begins with you
Silently holds dear
Every last word
Careful not to smear.
Recklessly told
Effortlessly severe,
Trust turns cold
Why do I continue
Allowing them to use me
Why do I smile
Through this wretched agony

They sit back and watch
As I do what they need
They sit back and laugh
As I break down and bleed

But I still insist
On helping the needy
But still I'm blind
To those who are greedy

I live off my kindness
And yet I'm breaking
To them I just a target
An advantage for the taking

The only home from the pain
Is when my ink hits the paper
Without this relief I'd go insane
Sometimes I wish I was just a vapor
A remote control
That's all I need
My life would be simple
To change times speed

I could fast forward
The times of dislike
I could pause
And go on a life strike

And that one special button
If I get into trouble
And I need sound gone
I can mute on the double

What does this button do
The big red one at the top
Maybe I'll get a better view
It seems I was wrong, for life just stopped
We are Phoenix's
beginning as a soul
  to be born under human bonds.
Going through pain and troubles
only to triumph in the end
  as to fall and burn to be reborn.
It doesn't end there
we die but only to be reborn
  as a soul to stand before heavens gates.
Never truly die
we are eternal
  forever love.
I'm faced with an issue
For which I do not need a tissue
It's a little complicated
Makes me feel intoxicated

I have some life choices
But I need to follow the right voices
I wish I could just stand back
Autopilot through the right track

Three main choices have arisen
All three I can envision
For one I need self confidence
At the loss of my moral conscience

Or I can keep my heart and adore
But have a life that I bore
Be laid back and loving, never to explore
But would I trade this for the loss of my core

Or I can just stay this way
The way I am today and everyday
My brain and heart stuck in a conundrum
I wish the answer would just come

All I can do is roll the dice
And hope luck is ever so nice
Picks for me one which is right
I shall think on this one overnight
Bullying such a terrible thing
Target the small and fragile
It will only cause a minor sting
This pain shall only last a small while

Hound that little boy with glasses
"Nerd, Geek, Four eyes"
Shove him into lockers as he passes
Torment him until he cries

What about the red haired girl
"Ginger, Ranga, Carrot Top"
Pound her down until she curls
Push them to their limit, don't stop

Now the question I shall ask
What did you gain
Other than your shallow mask
Trying to hide your own shame

You don't understand what you cause
Those kids you tormented
Only find safety and joy in self recluse
They now believe they are demented

That girl you called Ginger
Has bled out over the floor
Its "You" who caused her to injure
This young girl is now dead to the core

That boy you called four eyes
He now hangs from the ceiling
Sleeping away in the night skies
These kids no longer have feeling

What do you say for yourself
Nothing, nothing at all
Bullying is your disgusting wealth
But one day realise you shall fall

One day people shall stand
Fight against this vile behavior
Together we will band
And this shall be our savior
Stand up against bullying. We need to get rid of it. Causing way to much harm
