In desperation they come.
Dangerous journey.
To some it seems illogical
And yet, what gives us the right to say that?
Were we there?
Can we ever relate to their plight?

Just answer me this.

What's so confusing about escaping in-discriminatory persecution?
What's so confusing about a persons will to live?
What's so confusing about taking any means possible. Literally.
Have not acts of sheer desperation been done before?

Why is it that we learn history,
But not compassion?
Why is it that we see images of horror,
But are desensitized?
Why is it that we take things at face value,
But not question our leaders motives?
Why is it that we hear talking about "them",
And accept their dehumanization?

A nation confused
People who don't understand
Leaders who don't give a damn
So stop mentioning our goodness.
Hypocrites.

Look no hands
No strings attached
Free falling

Call me an idealist
The capitalist fool!
Because I do believe that-
The voiceless
The hungry
The invisible
Will be-
Heard.
Fed.
Seen.
Surely man's greed cannot be so deep?
It can be yielded.
It can be changed.
This I believe.
This I have to believe.

Friend,
Can i still call you that?
Years without a word.
And yet still haunted
By the friendship that was.
Your words,
Such a cowardly goodbye.
Awaiting a reply?
I have one.
It's neatly folded in my drawer
Just waiting...
I'm sorry,
I guess I'm still finding an excuse
My prides not as keen as it once was
21 and fierce
23 and regretful
Do friendships repair?
Or like one time lovers do they get lost?
Here's hoping
Life's too short
And we both
live and let live.
Sincerely yours,
Lost friend.

So easily did you wash your hands of me
Bluntly did you state your claims
Years and memories
Erased

Mistakes I indeed made
Perfection I have never claimed
Friendship was my offer
Given with trust, belief and love

Miscommunication; I admit
Misunderstanding; even more so
Guilt; I have many
Pride; an ill weakness

I heard your words
I still hear them
Haunting me in dreams
Clouding my thoughts

True to nature
Stubborn you remain
My side unheard
Assumptions made
Your source
The damned grapevine
Stubborn you did remain

I miss you
Probably I always will
However it’s not worth my feeling of loss
For you are no better than I

All i see is love.
She loves her
And she's loved back by her.
Pure and simple.
Against all the crap
The hatred
The chaos
There's just love here.

Welcome to modernity
The age of ignorance
Where the voice of ugly
Is the minority
Yet the loudest

Welcome to modernity
Where democracy rules
Where the state and church are separate
But marriage is religious
It's only between man and woman.
Women need men.
Men need women.
That is the right way...

Welcome to modernity.
Sex is religion
But you're not natural
Your love is not real
Your love is to be ridiculed
Shout it at the top of your lungs.

I'm sorry this is what faces you
A wall of opposition
A voice of ugly
A tide of ignorance
Trapped due to politics
I'm raging with anger beside you
So sad to say
But welcome to modernity...

Here again-
the inevitable.
Lack of air
Clarity,
Sense,
Reason
GONE
SO GONE

Everything
is the impossible

Come see it through my eyes
