What I did is mixed superstition from all over the world and put it into one humoured poem.


I have always had a thing for Luck.
I try to walk under one or two ladders
A day, if possible.
It's been rather lonely since my shadow
Stopped coming around.
I used to see him once a day or so.
My reflection has started giving me
The silent treatment
After I broke his heart.
I hear the city is repaving
The sidewalk cracks
My mother will be so relieved!
The black alley cat
Found his way back home,
So I am alone.
Except for my thirteen friends
Who only visit me on a Friday night.
I'm a little upset though
Because one of them spilled the pepper
And The bread I was fixing to eat
Fell on the floor upside down.
Nothing is going my way,
I've lost my keys
I could have sworn they were on the table.
My German friend is great
He never fails to wish me a happy birthday
Although it is still a few months away.
Yes sir, life is funny sometimes.
Lucky me!

We are not thieves, or murderers.
We may be treated like animals
But we will not become animals.
Every day of freedom,
Is an act of faith
We have all chosen this-
To live here free as long as we can.
And if we should die, trying to live,
Then at least we die
Like human beings.
And our best revenge, is to survive.

I'm nobody.
A face in the crowd.
A *** in a box cart.
A friend to some,
And an enemy to others.
A razor, if you stand too close to me.
I'm dirt blowing in the wind.
A ***** on prom night.
I'm nobody.

If I have loved but once,
Then I have loved always.

Fly away
You're destined for greater things
No prison bars hold their charm
Nothing left to make you stay

Onto greener pastures
And hilltops high
Into the great unknown
Much greater, much greater than I

You were meant to lead
Not to follow
You're an eagle
Not a sparrow
Soaring into a bright new day
Learn to fly, spread your wings
And leave the world behind
Fly high away, eagle fly

You were meant to lead
Not to follow
You're an eagle
Not a sparrow
Soaring into a bright new day
Learn to fly, spread your wings
And leave the world behind
Fly high away, eagle fly

I feel exactly
Just like you
Under my skin
My blood is blue

Our color is different
But we are still the same
I wish you thought so
It's such a shame

I have my rights
Just like you
You have feelings
I've got them too

Well my friend
It stays the same
That everyone thinks
That we're to blame

Love doesn't have color
Love has no pride
Why can't we just
Put race aside

I've been hurt
I've been accused
For committing a crime
That I didn't do

They throw their stones
They wave their signs
They say I don't belong
But I think it's time

To feel
Just like me
To heal
Just like me

Cause love has no color
Love has no pride
Why can't we put
Our race aside

Well my friend
I got killed today
For going down one road
And I lost my way

But things are different
Up above the sky
Still I can't help
But wonder why

Cause love has no color
Love has no pride
Why oh why can't we just
Put race aside
Hank Love May 2020
For the latest global craze, let us not forget, that even in darkness, there's always the stars. And we may lose everything else but love is always free. We're in this together


"Holding Hands Across the World"

When will we learn
That cities were not meant to burn
It's not our way, it's not our kind
Have we left our shame behind

Why don't we handle it with care
To stretch a hand to our fellow man
To lend a ear to anyone there
What happened here

Things are different
Than yesterday
It seems all our hopes and dreams
Have flown away
I don't remember the world we're in
When will it end
And it doesn't sound so absurd
Holding hands across the world

Mother earth is dying
It's time we make a stand
And raise a glass
To the spirit good of man

Where did we go wrong
To leave love out of the world
Do we belong
Or are we mixed in with the herd

Things are different
Than yesterday
It seems all our hopes and dreams
Have flown away
I don't remember the world we're in
When will it end
And it doesn't sound so absurd
Holding hands across the world

Smoke clouds the sky
As Choppers fill the air
I ask myself why
Nobody cares
For this generation

Things are different
Than yesterday
It seems all our hopes and dreams
Have flown away
I don't remember the world we're in
When will it end
And it doesn't sound so absurd
Holding hands across the world
