Die I Will
One day soon i will not be
Die i will, it is my destiny
but ill leave my poems behind
and i will leave my prose to shine
and ill leave, and wont come back
and ill die and that's a fact
but the knowledge I've gained, i leave you to trust
and the mention of my name
will **** any and all lust
i hope to leave this world better than when i came into it

God Is But Pain
The moon, when it sparkles,
I hold my breath in wait,
and as i wait, i marvel,
at what could be heavens gate,
But then when i start thinking,
I start to wonder why,
yes, why has god start fleeing,
From troubles of human kind,
no, surly god is here,
and he is surly not so cruel,
he will help us through our fears,
for he is all-knowing and merciful.
oh, i wish that this were true
oh, i wish that this were sane,
but if you see what i see too,
you know god is but pain
the moment when you start to question is the moment when you start to understand the most

Dreamland
I've walked a trillion miles,
and lived throughout eternity,
i've done all this in the dream world,
as a sleeping entity.
i've saved the world from evil,
and conquered over good,
but out here in the real world,
i do nothing as i should.
i'm addicted to the dreamland,
its heaven in my mind,
in there i found a lover,
but out here, i'm lost in time
i once got addicted to sleeping...i slept 10 hours a day because i loved the dreams i was having...but now i know...life in paradise is no life at all

Ball And Chain
My emotions are a ball and chain
A weapon of longing and pain
as i'm held hostage by righteousness and pride
as i'm longing for my long lost bride
the world around me sheds its shell
and i'm stuck here, in my lonely hell
found this in one of poem journals, the pages were stuck together xD

Happiness Is Coming Fast
You cant always win, you wont always lose
and yea, sometimes throughout your life, you may feel the blues
but listen to my words as i write them on the page
one day you will find your passion, and maybe be engaged
happiness is coming fast, joy may be arriving soon
love your life a little more, and it may already be upon you
happiness is coming fast, that's all i have to say

Freindship
I really cant say exactly how long its been
no i really cant say, since i've seen a good man
humanities infected with power and greed
we want a lot of things, but there's a million more we need
we need a cup of love, and that much is for sure
we need a righteous heart, for there's not much we can endure
we need a little sympathy for those of us in pain
we need a little empathy for those that are insane
we always want more money, but that can be dismissed
one day when we conquer greed, we may finally have...
Freindship
there's a lot of things wrong with mankind, but i have faith...
we'll get there

Eternal Light
An eternal light guides me, through thick and through thin,
a light i call poetry, from a dark i call sin,
but i'm not religious, this light is not god,
i will not accept my life, a pre-determined fraud,
no, my light is poem, a metaphor and a rhyme,
these aspects can bring to light humanities crimes,
and although i speak heresy, i also respect those,
yes, those...who have a light of their own
religion isn't the only comfort in this world, there is another light,
and its a lot less crouded

Heart Of Triumph
A heart of triumph knows no bounds
its finely tuned, a divine sound,
it knows not failure, nor success,
it knows not the penalty of distress,
for regardless of the instance in which it prevails,
weather it be a correction, success, or a fail,
a heart of triumph stays through good and bad,
in those of us who let go of being angry or mad,
so that we can live, and be triumphet in life,
so that we can be triumphet for our friends, neighbors, kids, and wives.
triumph over your loss, and its still a win

Philosophy To Live By
"He who doubts his own will, shall be ******, not to infinite pain, but to a lifetime of discomfort, for it is not god who punishes man, but rather, it is man who punishes himself."  -William McLaughlin

"Only when forgiveness rises from the ashes of judgement and persecution, does then a man rise worthy of humanity and wisdom."  -William McLaughlin

"Faith in god can bring comfort to otherwise lost children, but faith in mankind can bring lost children home, for children are not born in the heavens...they are the sons and daughters of man."  -William McLaughlin

"And Whereas those who tred on anothers faith deserve a guilt riddled conscience, those who advertise their own deserve a well rested mind."  -William McLaughlin
philosophy is a great thing, use it, create it, pass it on, and you will be surprised who will listen to you

Yesterday
Yesterday, held many words
Yesterday, flew many birds
Yesterday, your pride expired
Yesterday, humanity was acquired
Today, rises a new wise man
Today, begins a wise mans stand
Today, knowledge will be spread to your peers
Today, you shall conquer your fears
And tomorrow, you shall have joy at last
knowing you spread your knowledge so fast.
yesterday you were a little more ignorant than today,
and tomorrow you will be happy

Dont Let Yourself
Don't let yourself be imprisoned in fear

Don't let yourself cry your eyes out of tears

Don't let yourself give up on the thing you call life

Don't let yourself run out of a thing you call pride

Don't let yourself down in any way at all

Don't let yourself drown or let your self fall

Don't let yourself be an unhelpfull soul

Don't let yourself be an unwise fool

Don't let yourself live without purpose or work

Don't let yourself die a burden to earth

You cannot let yourself do any of these

But one thing you can do, is let yourself believe
Just a set of moral Values to use as you see fit

Desire Is Satan
You cant blame me for wanting more
I dont Know why or what for
Bit desire is tugging at my side
and forever I wont be able to hide
So help me be Content fair maiden
and help me push away that Satan
Desire causes delusion and unhappiness, only used correctly, can it be used for motivation

Rightious Is
Being rightious is a curse
but it is also a blessing
for when the roles are reversed
its often much less stressing
rightiousness is a boat
that floats down a humble river
when good things come to you
dont boast, when Bad arrives,
your pain shant be delivered
rightiousness is proud with an accent
its humble with a dash of pride
turning the other cheek as its meant
from Anger it shall hide
being rightious can save your Soul
and turn judjment into none
in tolerence it has a big role
and is rewarding and lots of fun
So surrend yourself to rightiousmess and youll feel like a thousand bucks
and at night youll sleep and Rest
Knowing your filled with all good stuff

Love Is
Love is a beacon of light
in a cold dark lonely place
yet often it can Start a fight
but still be Seen with grace
love will Not abandon you
although it may evolve
as long as you love others too
there is your resolve
love is Not an Iron block
you can throw against a wall
mostly it is week and fragile
and sometimes very small
love is Not immortality
like some poets may say
One day it will seize to be
but thats what makes it great
So cherish love with understanding
But please dont throw a Fit
everything will have its ending
just Know it will be missed.
Sometimes love lasts but in todays world just enjoy while it does

All I Sense Is Alliance
all i sense is alliance
and all i feel is friendship
all i love is likeness
because an alliance is a kinship
and all i hate is hostile
all that weighs me is war
and all i can't stand is cruelness
i dont know what it's for
it feels better to pass the fist then hurt yourself swinging

Takes Place
In the days where life is given to those,whose minds are yet unobstructed
birth takes place
in the days where lives are lost in a futile expression of man
war takes place
in the days where lips exchange touch, and bonds are given to the worthy
love takes place
in the days where words betray friends, the world listens for imperfection
a secret takes place
in the days where great toils mount great misfortune
poverty takes place
and in the days where i look, for us all, the unbiased reality of man
truth takes place
truth comes to those who seek it

suicide and sacrifice
You can be afraid of love
you can be afraid of life
but for you, Ther'll be no suicide
and I will Not let you sacrifice
you are my equal in every way
you cant keep putting you down
you are a human being, today
and tommorrow you'll still be around
it should never come to suicide, theres always anouther way out, and you should never offer yourself up just because you think your less than somebody else

Shine Together
my love waits on the rising sun
beyond the sea and tides
shes knows no boundary fears no harm
and knows not of my crime

my loves waits on the throne of my heart
and in my mortal soul
i know she will sit there again
when life has taken its toll

my love swims in the fountain of youth
her spirit does not die
even when she fades away
her memory will stay mine

and even though her path is harsh
she will shine forever
cause now you know the love i've shown
and we will shine together

my love will never back away
from a fight or from a cause
my love does care too much for me
and for that she'll never stop

my love reflects in the waters of life
magnificent as the stars
she's as innocent as a puppy dog
and is more beautiful than the heavens are

my love is not just a legend
the perfect woman, and kind
one day we will be married and then
she'll be mine and only mine

and even though her path is harsh
she will shine forever
cuz now you know the love i've shown
and we will shine together

my love is a mockingjay
shes free and full of pride
my love soon will be with me
and soon she'll be my wife

my love is the rocky mountains
shes sturdy like a tree
and even through her oppression
she and i will be

my love she is the clear blue sky
shell drive away a cloud of gloom
and with her ill be happy evermore
until i reach my tomb

and even though her path is harsh
she will shine forever
cuz now you know the love i've shown
and we will shine together
this used to be a song i wrote, but i figured its more useful as a poem

When I...
when i take a lady out to drink
i don't want to see a drunk
i'd rather see a lady
that knows how to have fun

when i lay down with a lady
under beautiful glistening stars
id rather watch her twirl her hair
then shake her...you know...knockers

when i kiss a lady on the lips
id rather see her smile
then put on a **** outfit
and show me she gets wild

but when i show a lady how i love
theres only one reaction i get
and that is that she always shows me
shes got spirit with a kiss
this ones a little iffy but i hope i got my point across without offending anyone

To Irritate An Instrument
to irritate an instrument
to intrude into an interlude
to extract the extrapolation
from a well developed tune

to manipulate the melody
to solo with your soul
and finally to finish
with your really groovy goal

Lots of ways to sing it sad
Lots of ways to gig real good
Lots of ways to write it wrong
or dance to it, like you do
Music isn't just in the tempo,
there's also lyrics and notes and dance and above all, personallity

WonderLand
guide me to a wonderland
where poets write for free
where musicians play and blind men see
and we all live in harmony

guide me to a wonderland
where oppression  fades like chalk
where freedom is as common as a pebble or a rock
and the love will never stop

guide me to a wonderland
where the joy shines like the sun
and everywhere you look, its children having fun
and theres no such thing as a gun
"why cant we be friends..."

In The Mind
In the mind of a saint
I would surely faint
for i would not understand
that which makes us man

In the mind of a soldier
i would surely be bolder
for a hardened man id be
from the fight for liberty

In the mind of a poet
id surely get over it
because the wiser id be
would make me see free

Lovers Delight
delighted to see and hear and feel
delighted to comfort and help to heal
delighted to have a heart to take

delighted to be in a whirlpool of love
cause I've met an angel, who’s come from above

Religion Is...
Religion is a tool of man
But this i think you understand
God may be a memory
If mankind would only flee
And then his wrath would not exist
Religion is but a closed fist
Its been useful to us thus far
But now Allah wants us to spar
If we quit while we’re ahead
Maybe we won't all end up dead
But for those with faith stronger than an ox
To you, i salute thee, but also throw rocks
For now you have a choice to make
Do to this, mankind could break
You can worship your gods and cows
Or join me, and in human kind,
Be proud
this poem combats Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism, so if you are any of those religions please don't read, or don't get offended when you do read, the intent of the poem is to restore faith in humanity more then anything

Righteous Heart
someday i will be a man
with a kind and righteous heart
even when love does not find me
i'll still have a lovely start
for although i’m not a charmer
and although i am insane
a righteous light may guide me
through the shadows of resentment and pain
i once wrote a poem called "shadow of regret" now that that stage of my life had ended, this is the refutation to that, being righteous did indeed guide me through that resentment, and all it took was a little persistance
music can be powerful and strong
music can be great
music has been around so long,
music is my fate…
one day i will be a legend
with a taste for melodious sound,
people will shiver at the mention
of william the great and profound
music is a great way to achieve glory, but i will never let it cloud my judgment, or make me a different person

Tempo
the only thing that binds me
to the earth until i die
is the songs i love, that sound is enough,
to comfort me when i cry
the only thing that keeps me
from a world of death and despair
is the soul of a guitar rocking
and the slow, steady tempo of an old rocking chair
music is very important in my eyes, and will be even when i become very old

Heaven’s Just As Bad
My soul does not belong to god
Nor will it go to hell,
I will keep my soul my own
For eternity by myself,
For if a heavenly light should call
And beckon me to a door,
I will close my eyes on earth
And fall asleep forevermore,
My life serves very well insane
And so, insane i am
Heaven cannot cure my mind
Without making me a different man,
And with no hardship, with no war
And with no famine, or flaws,
A few short years in paradise
And my character will be gone
please don't be offended, this is my view of heaven, and it is not intended to offend anyone, i'm a humanitarian atheist so i'm very secular but i occasionaly like to write a religious poem

The Color…
The color blue is many things
The sky, the ocean, and sea
The color green is also there
The grass, the frogs, and trees
The color red, like beautiful death
The flames, the blood, and then
The color black, an evil fright
Death itself, and fear, and night
the world is very colorful if you pay attention

That Child
That child is my shining star
In a world that hates my guts
That child shall be mine once more
To be away from her is not fun

Before i went wild

A Monks Prayer
Death is but a darkened door
That leads away from life
Love is but a little light
From a shadow cast in sight

But we won't worry about those things

is their any person on earth more righteous than a monk?

Salem Witch Trials
The wabanaki tyrants
A threat that's come and gone
mercy luis’s family
now butchered like a hog
16 years now have past
and trials on its way
guilty is as guilty's charged
its barrows turn to play
20 victims laid to rest
20 “witches” hanged
180 more accused
from 93’ and 92’
but many more to blame
for the vessels of the Salem ways
now cold and heartless souls
accusing innocent lives, for shame!
now unfair trials we shall hold...

Organs of sadness
Sadness is a beating heart
It allows you to feel, but is only one part
Depression won't ever go away
Its the lungs and the liver, and it has to stay
And there is no cure for parts of you
All you can do is sit there and be blue
But you won't be alone when you tell your tale
I will sit beside you until your organs fail
only kind words can cure sadness, and there aren't enough of those now a days, so hang in there, and when they finally get around to you, you wont need them anymore
Gift to me my solitude please
I regret to inform you that you must leave
Your walking all over my “unholy place”
Not “unholy” as in Satan
It’s more like disgrace
I want to be left in my peace
I've done some bad things, got grit in my teeth
So leave me now, i wont ask again
Leave me, for i am not a good man.

And my sorrow will decay with swiftness
if no one believes you've changed but you know in your heart its true, forgive yourself and move on...and in time...so will they

A Bouquet Of Life
Life is like a daffodil
Beautiful but wondrous still
Death is like a crimson rose
May cause you pain, or hurt your foes
Love is a generic flower
So variant, but full of power
And then there's you, an iris of sorts
Your life so meaningful and yet so short
everything is beautiful if you take time to really look at it
I would have chased her so the end of time,
If i were an immortal soul.
But she does not want my affection now,
And i will not live forever, oh no.
So all that i can do is wait,
And wait and wait i will.
Love is lacking in my fate
But i’ll die as loyal still,
For our friendship is still real.
the character in this poem believes loyalty and friendship is more important than pressing to have a lover, if more people thought like this the world would be a lot better place
Lay me down when i bite the dust
But not in a coffin, that is a must
Plant a redwood sapling on me
And ill grow into a redwood tree
For i'm not religious, but this i believe
Will bring me happiness, when i cease to be.
this is my wish when i die, after a full life i want to give back to nature, please don't stick me in a coffin and put me in the ground, let me give myself to a beautiful redwood sapling so it can grow into a magnificent redwood tree.

Dead Man’s Day
I’m on my way to the ground down under
I can hear my family, the crowd; like thunder
Death had stricken my name so fast
And i am in my grave at last
My family will be gone soon
And i’ll be left alone by noon
And then my body will start to decay
And my memory will fade away
you cant always expect your name to go down in history, so its important to cherish life as it comes
