and now the racism sprouts-or at least now it being recognized. because "the kids of the spelling bee should be american" and "nothing more american than a good spelling bee..oh wait all the caucasians are eliminated" are all tweets that are taking center stage and outraging millions.
about time.
yes i said it-its about time
because whenever there are super racist tweets about blacks, and hispanics
and dont fogret the offensive nicknames like darquisha and the crazy accents that television presents us with-
it seems to be a joke-or no one really gives two *****
and its heart smattering
tear rolling
that this ****
still
exists.
and the fact people actually have ***** to tweet **** like that-
but would have no ***** at all to step infront of a colorful crowd
made of colorful people
and spit out a word of disgust
think twice
this is america *****
not the 1900's in america
is 2014 *****
move foward.get over it.

there's this young girl
whose so out of place
so much pain and destruction
that's just flashing her in the face

she's in over her head
and has no idea where to turn
ever since she was little
to better herself, she had to learn

she's stuck in an outraging world
with no one to trust
so much commotion going on inside
feels like she's about to bust

stepping back to my cherished boyhood

It passed a quarter century to step out of my Alma Mater
My Santa Cruz High School…….
Still your revolving gate brings back
those cherished memories revolving back
there comes a ****** from the heart.
Stepping back into your court yard,
I feel the warmth of my mom’s arms…
The same warmth that escorted me
to step into your pavements on the first day.

Still I feel the breeze under the canopy of your rain-trees
hark! still we hear that cherished clang of bell
hit by Alphonse uncle in his unique rhythm…...
our beloved teacher’s voices are still flowing in the air
Now class rooms are empty and still,
But once they buzzed with our giggles and chats
They took us to the Daffodils of Words worth
To the frozen lakes of Robert Frost…
Through the lyrics of Tagore
And showed the renunciation of Gowtham Buddha
marveling arts and thrilling sciences
gave us wings to fly in colors

Friends who stayed in merits and demerits
stood together in good deeds and mischief
All those golden good old days
Of the teen spirits of arrogance
Enthusiasm and outraging curiosity
Joking peers and merrymaking leisure,
all those lessons earned us life
more than the scores those syllabus gave us.
we had a get together 26 years after we passed out from our beloved Santa Cruz High School. All those cheerful faces are now grown grey and wrinkled, yet that boy in the heart is still alive

The obsession of power
A deliberate enforcement
Preaching rationalism to humanity
Resulting to terrible disappointment

Hiding under are the intentions
Covered in the name of religion
A partial execution
Blinding the disciples to purposeful confusion

An evil in the name god
A betrayal in the name of trust
Shaking the beliefs of mankind
Devastating the places of holy shrine

Killing innocent lives
Attacking from behind
Claim themselves to be warriors
Are nothing but disgraceful cowards

Endless human slaughter
A new dimension to cruelty
Formation of mass destruction
Is your definition of victory

With all this misery
An achievement you feel
It won’t be the same again
As the saints are out to ****

Defying your motives once again
To touch these grounds
No force field to break
Just a bullet in your head and you are down

This time we unite
The roles change
And therapy continues
carrying out this outraging revenge

Animosity of fate
As this time you witness
The suffering and all this pain
Its our turn now, you will repent
Penned down some thoughts against Terrorism

Things don't seem so great when your right hand has fallen into his deep void. He doesn't show any emotions perhaps, he has a well inside him to scream and cry into. The best that can be done is to stick with him and that seemed to be accomplished but yet, you'd get your own eyes gouged out and come to play such a silly game for what seems to be wasteful. If only and just if only, we could have answers to as why a few things happen, perhaps things would be a tad lighter?
It seems as if we're just continuously being lured in by the wind up bird's, tune. Forget-me-nots will always be planted to create another oath, yet again. In the end, it's excruciating pain shrouded by the blindness of the ones that created, such a pain. As our hearts wrench, they release yet another bigger smile. It'd be smart of us just to walk away, why stay for something that's going to become increasingly, pointless? It's probably about time that we've surrendered to the shadows that trail behind the fragments of our hope. Being rather egoistic might repel yet another tragedy. The wind up bird may continue to flap its wings and enchant us with its harrowing tunes. Our hearts would become ragged, in unison. There's much space for the likes of our mindsets. It's prime for us to hinder ourselves from outraging our true natures, once again.  It isn't as if we chose to do so, just an occurrence, an extremely, painful notion. We'd abide nonchalantly, to keep soundlessly holding in, In an abstract sentimentality. In what we find complex yet intriguing, we'd soon seek out the contradictions.
