its like everything in the world is so beautiful and i am in love with everyone and everything and theres so much beauty and so much love that i cant function because theres no way for me to experience it all and theres no way for me to love all of it back
i hate that i do this (everything is black or white-good or bad)
its all either awful or wonderful
For twenty-two years I claimed atheism.
Until, I spent six years consumed by addiction.
Homeless on dope I found desperation.
I kicked the sickness, but not my addiction.

I found a place conceived for rehabilitation.
But, their main goal was to impose their religion.
I bought into the beliefs of a christian.
Do not judge and all are forgiven.

Then I found a place called church.
That would teach me different then the lessons I learned.
If all are not judged and all are forgiven.
Then why is it that only Christians go to heaven.

I questioned the preacher about gods decision.
Because, my family and best friends were not into religion.
If heaven is a place where my loved ones cannot dwell.
Then **** religion, I'm going to hell.

Someone once said
That fear always works
It's sad, but it's true
So true that it hurts
I wish I were free
To choose who I meet
But mom always told me
To stay quiet on the streets
What if that guy
You met online
Is a hacker-*******?
In all this fear
I'm starting to wonder
If living is worthwhile

The state of the union
Is one of fear
Keep your religon close
And your race dear
We fear terror and crime
We run and hide
But the true monsters
Are the ones inside

Someone once said
We should only fear fear
Because it's the root of our problems
That much is clear
The news
Whips the mob
Into a state of panic
And convinces us
That any change
Will be just catastrophic

The state of the union
Is one of fear
Keep your religon close
And your race dear
We fear disease and shortage
And we can't relax
And no one around
Knows the real facts

I know
That I'm not
Immune to this, either
I'm losing things
I was taught
Would always be there
And honestly
This girl
Is the last one who should talk
I could be called anxious
I can say it
But can I walk?
But even to
A shy, nerdy
Girl like me
The media's
Fear-mongering
Is plain to see
But the media
Only reflects
What polls say we want
So maybe society
Needs to check
What it flaunts

The state of the union
Is one of fear
Keep your religon close
And your race dear
We fear each other
And the outside world
But maybe one day
We'll learn to be bold

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Lend me love
Lend me compassion
Lend me hope that today's acts are only a passing

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Lend me the foundations of love which you are based on
Lend me life
Lend me your religon
Lend me this culture that seems so emotionally indefferent

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Lend me this pagan religon of love unpure
Lend me the ability to love my wife and more

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Teach me this immoral act of lustful cravings
Teach me how to love you today and your sister tomorrow

Lovers Dreamers lend me your ears
Is it right to say i love?
Is it right to say i do?
When love just means:
For today i love you.

You sit  here and talk down to me
like I am incompetent.
Not even looking into my eyes
is going to make this  rough.
I  am not here for you to tease.

Don't tell me I don't make the cut
of being at your level.
Maybe I'll be polite, if you're full of luck.
Just because I don't believe in the devil
makes you think that you know more
and are more valuable.
Sanity is the only cure
for your close minded wall.

Don't mind me
I have a mind of my own.
I'm free.
Religion was an idea long overthrown.

Fairly soon, happiness is all you will see
which everything you could never be.

What you believe in
What God you believe
How you think you think the world started
What you think will happen
When the world will end
Is religon

The Blasphemous ways of my life have left me insane.
Committing blasphey everyday has left the snake wrapped around my throat
Making sure I lose a breath of air each second till I die.
Knowing right from wrong
But the bad feels so good.
Too unorthodox to make a change.
Everything I knows is embedded in my brain.
Fighting the religon so hard trying to seem sane.
You must be insane
trying hard to convince people you're sane.
But the blasphemous ways is what makes my brain.

tis time
said the elf in my ear
tis my time of year
unpack the baubles
the lights,
tinsel
and gear
the merryest of merry
times is near

said I to the elf
get back on tne shelf
nay get back in that box
good gosh and begorrah
calm down your striped socks
it is five  in the a.m.
December the 1st

said the elf, in my ear
I know the time
I let you sleep a whole
four hours and 59 nine minutes
over the strike of my first happy day

so now
get your great *** into gear
this is the only time  I see
the otherside of the box
after months locked down
so get it together mother dear

hang the lights
and let them twinkle
place the tree and
smell the pine needles
and the faint
odour of cat ******?
watch them as they shed
hang the baubles that sit
differently to how they
looked in your head
throw tinsel at that sucker
till it glows and shimmers
knowing that stuff gets every where
even  into the cats stomach and bed

bring on the cheer ,bring on the glee
bring out the angels, the santas, and me

start buying presents
and wrapping  them furtively
have the discussions about
what to buy for those less near
buy the cheap and nasty,  or
the  credit card dear
buy the simple or make the  stuff
or simply divert payments to next year
as if we mostly don't have
more than enough

remember those gone and those left behind
keep them close to heart and to mind
think of those with out resource or recourse
make  some adjustments in order to be kind
and give away joy to  some you don't know
could well  become their reason to stay ...not go

come on said the elf it is time we began
got to get ready, spread a little love accross
your patch of this land, don't be a grinch,
a scrooge or sadsack,  you gotta have
the big jolly-mans  back

and while we are here
conversing and such
remember  the reason
for all this fuss,
doesn't matter,
the religon, the caste
or the creed..
as this time approaches
take moments to reflect
upon this years closing
and hope with joy
and no fear
for love to conquer all
in the future year

said  I to the elf
yammering away in my ear
well said  young  chap
time to get on my good cheer
So this is a bit of rambling sillness for the holiday season, whatever your belief, what ever your fears, take time to look around and share some hope and love and hopefully you will reap the same.. love and hope...

My parents often ask me, why are you so stressed, why are you so depressed, . . . . . why are you so . . . crazy?
Here and now I am going to answer that question.

1. stress

The main reason I stress is from responsibility.
RESPONSIBILITY
The word makes me go insane
All of it causes pain.

Sibilings, five younger sibilings,
they all have their things.
they each have someting that either causes me a responsibilty or stress, because its a constant worry, love.

School, all eight classes,
you expect aces.
I can't be perfect, but you want me to be, and that is a huge responsibility.

Home, all of it,
every single bit.
A home requires everybody to have a responsibility.

2. deppresed

The main reason i am often sad, mad, or a mixture of both is that you wouldn't accept me.
NO ACCEPTENCE
To know that you would hate me,
stops me from being free.

Gender, i hate it,
why do we label ourselfs why dont we quit.
I just want to be free and ya'll dont like that, so i can't.

Sexuality, mine is different,
and you would accept it.
The world is different why cant you see that, why is different bad?

Religon, the worst of all,
the lectures make me feel so small.
You force and force and it makes me wat t be farther and farther away.

3. crazy

I am crazy because you dont care.
OBLIVION
You can't see me trying so hard,
the only things you see tears me apart.

I am trying, cant you see,
being perect for you is always who i've been tring to be.
Don't you see me working, all the time, trying to please all of ya'll.

Perfection, its impossible,
nothing can be perfectly aligned on the table.
Why do I have to be your perfect christain daughter who does so well in school while I am unhappy? Why can't I be your unperfect person that follows their dreams and is happy?

- Your unperfect human, Zan.
Jonny blaze Jun 2015
I told em read between the line cnt you see threw all of this the pain in my eyes
I wear this mask as a disguise so you people can't realize I'm jus a human being
Is our soul perpous to believe that we are here to sin and forgive as a soldier if I **** will I not go to help knowing I live to take others lives
Reality is I'm cold hearted cold as the freezing point that turn water to ice
But does that mean I dont care I mean I take orders from higher rankinging but does that mean it's fair to play God and take life from others that are there
Believing in their own religon but that proves my point everyone sees life in their own viewpoint aspect or vision
It was my own decision to raise my right hand and take the oath
To do what's right for my country
  The questions I ask but will never know I have my comrades back in what ever the outcome will go to wether I lose him or he loses me
All I can do is pick up my m4 shoot back and stay loyal to my country
You civilians will never understand the pain us soldiers have to go threw
Picture a world that no war was fought all sides withdrew from fighting and peace talk happen
A PERFECT WORLD WOULD BE THE CAPTION
But it won't ever be that because we live in a world where it's action and reaction
Good will always come with bad it's elementary adding and subtracting
IcarusHatesSun Mar 2019
Spotted schools of sharks
Swimming in life's cesspool
Drunkenly float feeling loss of hope
Religion believers try to send rope
Let's fashion a noose to **** that noise
I'm glad you believe in that story
Girls and boys
I'd sooner believe that I can jump
Two-hundred stories
Then stick the landing

LOVE AND COMPASSION WILL GET THE EARTH SPINNING
LOVE AND COMPASSION IS ALL GOD ASKED FOR FROM THE BEGINNING

HATE AND DIVISION DEFINITELY DOES NOT WORK
HATE AND DIVISION JUST MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN EGOTISTICAL ****

PLEASE LOOK DEEP WITHIN BEFORE SHOUTING OUT REALLY LOUD
JUST LOOKING WITHIN IS WHAT MAKES GOD SO PROUD

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH RELIGON YOU FOLLOW
NOT RESPECTING ANY RELIGION WILL LEAVE YOU FEELING EMPTY AND HOLLOW
Daniel Regan Feb 2012
It is something new, like a breath of fresh air, i didnt know if it could last, but i dont really care. i wanted something new, and then you happened to me, you walked into my life, like it was simple ment to be. You entered my life and never looked back, youve changed my world, and you always make me laugh. What is this thing, we have between us two? You always make me smile, whenever i see you. I cant be away from you, for more then a single day. Otherwise id start missing you, and feel like im wasting away. You seem to be my sunshine, my light in the dark. i loved spending time with, like taking walks in the park. I love holding you in my arms, because you fit so well. i love kissing you each day, like you really couldnt tell! I love your crazy family, they are all so much fun. Except for yours pshyco dad, and when he pulls out that **** gun. What can i say, youve changed me in a way. I look at my life differently, and how i spend my days. I wake up every morning, wishing you were there. And close my eyes each night, knowing no one else compares. Id say my lifes is blessed, and i thank god for you each day. I may not be fond of religon, but im religious in my own ways. im happier then ive ever been, and i dont care what they all say. I didnt listen to them to begin with, be it as it may. So here i am, and here i stand, bearing my soul, holding my heart in my hands. Not caring about the future or looking at the past. Only focusing on us now, and knowing this thing will last. Im scared to even think it, but i think it just may be. Could it be possible, am i in L......O......V......E??

found my God in your eyes

I found my purpose but your religon made no sense

I still suffer from disobedience

sinfully taking what i need

and ignoring all others

you filled my soul

and I can never pray enough

for your eyes to look upon me with ferver

keep your religion

i hang my hopes on the spiritual,

i want a connection

not a mandate of impossible laws

your designs fail me,

everyone a sin to confess,

i dont want your favour

i want your control.

to elvate above you and find your God in my eyes.

So many things confusing to me,
we live in a world where no one can fully agree.
I want to get along with everyone,
and just go out and have some fun.
I want to be united with every person,
I want to feel that connection.
I hate being hated and judged,
but similar people end up being smudged.
So I always end up not caring,
cause I don't like sharing.

Science,
Nature,
Religon,
Culture,
Love,
Death,
Relatio­nships,
Time,
Space.

Why is everyhthing so confusing? How did everything get so diverse?
We try so hard to be like other people, but why don't we try being ourselves.
Lovelust Jan 2016
I'm not afraid of death,
Not anymore,
Because what do I have to lose,
If I didn't have anything to start with.

Life is full of possibilities,
But most of them all end in pain,
Look at the light at the end of the tunnel,
But you can never find the light,
When the tunnel is never ending.

We live in a world where people want to **** each other,
For religon for land or an ideology,
Then why aren't we called the animals,
Because we haven't evolved from them.

So when people say life has a purpose,
But purpose is only a two syllable word,
That makes people believe they have a reason to live,
But I don't want there to be a reason I just want to make a statement.
Paul Hardwick Jan 2013
I have no religon
or even sweety hands
I just Paul, that i me
acid in my mouth
and flux in my soul
my eyes are blind but I can see
where I have been.
James Sep 2015
I
will
not
let
your religion change what I do or who I am.
I
will
not
let
your
religon
tell
me
when
I can't
and
when
I can.

Conflict with oneself
Duality end result
Mind Body alignment
Absent due to disagreement

Not at peace
Actions done Ill at ease
Fear about yourself
Manifests outside


Confidence in ability
Another quality
Feeling of disability
Weak personality


Conduct unbecoming and real
Conscience conducting the
Trial
Judgement default right
You cant runaway from yourself

Emotional blackmail
Threat and insistence
Your actions guidance
Life lived on others directions

Sequential bullying
Most worrying
Affects in that moment
Remains moment after moment

Read in books
Heard in lectures
Nothing outside
Everything inside

Fear a lifestyle
Decisions and Actions
Fear filled mind
Faculty denied

Incidents and persons
Cause for confusion
Blaming the outside
Futile lay it wayside

Genesis and basis
Go deep to explore
Cause of Anxiety
With you for posterity

Reason for neurosis
Every day a crisis
Living life by conducting
Rehearsal for dying

Not one but many
Events and humans
Daily resonance
Woven into your 6th sense

Living in a bubble
Pleasing the other
Who not so subtle
While returning the favor


Fake it and make it
Sound way to do it
Aping the brave
Foundation laid

Feeling the fear
Gets you near
Where lies the real answer
Is it going to take a lifetime
To figure ?

God Religon
People and Position
Threat Future
Bully and Law of Nature
Money Reputation
Health and death
Causes of fear
All external
Solution

An ardent follower
Of Bruce Lee the philosopher
Fan of his movies
Watched them repeatedly
Movies are not classics
But a Religon
His life a lesson
To be learnt in the present
Be Water he said famously
Follow the thought deeply
Jeet Kune do his philosophy
Use it to navigate life successfully
Multi talented Polymath
Try and emulate as much as you can
Martial Artist Philosopher Actor Writer Director Producer Poet Teacher
So many facets and more
God of Anti Bullying
A saviour of the bullied
Weaker in any form
He is the go to form
Internalise and implement
His teachings and his life
Yours you will not regret
An answer for every question he has
Eternally popular generations later
Kids by the time they reach
The age if 8
Have heard of his name
Came for a purpose
Lived by example
Taught by gaining wisdom from his own seeking
Left an everlasting impact
Will exist till the universe ceases
A realised soul
Anyone who knows all this
Is a BRUCELEEIST
KV Srikanth Feb 2022
Polarised political stances
Broadly as Right and Left
Conservatives and Liberals
Opposite ends of the Spectrum

Caste based divisions
And religious conversions
Causing widespread violence
All time low the tolerance

Earlier regimes blamed
Country loosing its identity
Voters manipulated with Currency
All in the name of democracy

Cultural Social and Political
Philosophies are merged
Organized Religon and Electoral decision
Also known as Right Wing Association

Social and Economic equality
Socialism and Communism given equity
Civil liberties and individual rights
Agendas of the Liberals known as the Left

Accused of burying tradition
Markets not deciding valuation
Governmental influence expansion
Religious tolerance and favor of immigration

Core value system
Ends of the swings of the pendulum
Right to birth or not
Another great dividing block

Economic Education Environmental
Taxation Weapons Immigration
Health  Abortion & Discrimination
Market and Government Religious tolerance

Every political issue
Divided to pursue
Agenda closest to heart
Best of both not a choice

Both the beliefs
Unifying or Divisive
Side of the fence
You are sitting depends

People influenced and passions triggered
Both playing a part demonising the other
People as divided as the ideology
Considering the middle road a travesty

Tiger and an Tusker
Facing of each other
Who wins the fight
Does it matter
That ship has sailed can't get  lower

End result evident
People Countries and the World divided
Neither willing for a peace deal
Meeting point points towards
A war field

Political agnostic
Branded an escapist
Being Apolitical not an option
Its never your decision

Take a side
Ride the Tide
Face the Tide
Halfway must collide

Avoid the tide branded a coward
Waiting for it to subside
Not going to happen
Everywhere there is a divide
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Religon and caste
Conversations across
A refugee in our
Sub conscious mind
Finds itself a form of expression
Division of man
Made permanent
Lineage taking credence
When nothing should
Lucky are the pets
No division amongst them
Fortunately man has
Not been able to create one
In harmony with each
How many ever there may be
Birthed has no role
Neither a wardrobe
Names don't trigger
Thoughts about race or gender
Addressed to as such
They respond as much
Expressing themselves
Not made up for role play
Simple in their living
Thinking stops with being simple
Under the sky Under the heaven
We are but one family
Style seperate man
Don't believe in style
Universe tries to pretend
That as the major goal to tend
Animal kingdom evolution
Above humans in the podium
Willing they are to share the spot
But we humans want it all
By toppling them off
A game they don't understand
We presume from our grandstand
Laughing within themselves
Shallow human behaviour
Larger in Number
Divided by another
At war with each other
Over things that don't matter
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Blinded by race
Color Religon
Is something very common
Met many during my lifetime
Their heart is camouflaged
By the broken mirror they have
Voluntarily placed as the smokescreen
images show up that are split
By their thoughts and feelings
Which are corrupted by the seeds sown centuries ago
Bearing harvest today in the form of a divided society  
Now the soil is fertile
Right up the alley
Of those who want to dissect

A boy of Seven
Visually impaired at birth
Unable to see the world
Understanding of the images
Based on what his father told

Initially felt compassion
And empathy at his
Congenital condition
Observing for a longer period
Seeing him at peace with himself
Clapping hands in rhythm to the music played live
Didn't seem to miss anything
He didn't possess for him to forego

Parents limpid with
His lacking vision
That extra care
To protect him any further impairment also absent
Visually challenged for no fault of his
A sense lesser than his fellow
Didn't seem to affect
Carried on with his defect

Longer i watched
Lesson i was taught
My own experiences
Peeling like a skin on burns
Were opening their doors
To learn a few lessons more
Simple to correct
I had got it backwards
Defect was none in him
He is infact perfect
Defect in the eyes of the beholder
Whose Soul is trial under fire
One sense less
Was i
Who bereft of my soul
Lost due to the deceit of the world
Manipulated my way through
Thinking i had made it too

I may never see him again
Did i see him today?
He never saw me today
But he will remember me forever
He saw through his lack of sight but had vision
I have sight but lack the rest

Started by feeling
Sorry for his lacking
Ended up with self pity
Laughing at my own
Free Spirited deserves the world
Opinionated and all clustered
Deserves to be told

— The End —
