You would have to see or witness this to believe it
These horses were smarter than the border patrol agents
Because the smart animals avoided charging these poor migrants
You murder your brethren.
And in cold blood you look at them as the lay;
You feel both pleased and despaired,
As their blood spill.
You wish it had never happened,
But it is too late;
My father and I were sitting in a new restaruant
looking over the menus.
We loved to go to new places and try new foods.
I think it was one of the many reasons we got along so nicely.
Your wife isn't carrying your baby, she's carrying mine.She wanted me to marry her but I had to decline.She didn't want tongues to wag about her being an unwed mother.
"to hell with it!"
a bad idea it screams!
they gather around to watch the show
of freaks and tearing seams
to which the moon smiles
smiling crookedly with amber beams
(hey! look! it's a blood moon!)
Who is the true villain of the story?
Is it the one whoes only thrill,
Lies in those whom they kill?
Or is "villain" simply a category?
Do you ever take time to hear their screams?
Who is the true villain of the story?
Is it the one whoes only thrill,
Lies in those whom they kill?
Or is "villain" simply a category?
Do you ever take time to hear their screams?
I. a map blooms above our heads
with ships ablaze and compass wide
uncharted land still beckoning
killer whales dive under tide
I saw you
Don't pretend like you didn't notice
We made eye contact
You swallowed
I watched your Adam's apple rise and fall
As nervousness formed pools over your pupils
Of the many things wrong,
I find this one to have a grip on me, strong
We need reform
Let us perform
A societal change
Refute the strange
They give us their devotion and love,
We respond with hate.
They show us their loyalty,
We cast them out on the street.
They offer us constant companionship,
We leave them alone to die.
We never had a real homeBut one day master came along and took us inIt wasn't a kind homeWe were beatenYelled atAnd made to fightWe had to obey every single commandWithout flaw
I smile in hope they will stop staring.
I smile in hope that they will see the beauty I see when I look in the mirror.
I smile in hope to make someone's day.
I'm terrified of horror movies.
I hate the zombies, vampires, and werewolves.
But what scares me more than the supernatural, are human beings.
Because there is no possibility that they are not real.
I have never seen a Killer Whale
Not a real one anyway
But often enough at night
Waking to the noise of lapping waves
Frequent upon hitting the surface
Random in location of where
This is impossible
My body's heavy
My minds tired
Theres a constant battle raging in my head
Should i do it or should i stay
How can i live like this
What choice do i have
Im not good enough
You may not...Tease him in the hall, thenTrip and watch him fallKick him when he's down andJump him while he's on his ownBut then again...
How can you slaughter them?
The poor, hopeless babies
The weary, weak elders
All the souls in between
How can you sleep at night,
Knowing that you are causing this suffering?
I assure you
I have the right
To be mad
For I have been
Betrayed
But I also
Assure you
That I do not
Have the right
See the people in the streets, barely any clothes on their backs and no shoes on their feet.
They have nothing but empty bottle packs
Changes A Pit Bulls Name
I see pain in those eyes,
each thing thats happened,
When I speak of love I aim my voiceto my parents who brought me hereand taught me how to deal with the cruelties of the world,my freshman year english teacher who cared even after I left
just seeing him makes me angry
just seeing his greying hair,
his yellow and brown teeth
that cost 10,000 dollars to replace
last time
his thinning body
I look in your eyes and what do i see?
I see my reflection and you abusing me
Why do you do this?
Have I not shown you love?
How do i deserve this?
What have i done wrong?
He is popping pills
Trying to get rid of the pain
But all people seem to realize
Is that he's an idiot and completely insane
Harassed on a daily basis
He can't seem to get off the crazy train
He'll be out of his misery soon
There it is
The only thing I want to see
A smile
i wonder who it could be
that would want me for me
who could include my faults
in whats best of me
why cant i see
when will he show
its been a dream of mine
he holds the key
Is it truly fun?
To see them writhe in pain
Your an awfully sick bastard
What have you to gain?
If i hurt you as you did to them
Would you still be smiling
And decide that it's okay
Banging machinery and grinding gears
You find yourself among your peers
Foreign yelling fills the air
Absolutely unaware
Of what this place has in store
A dream.
Something I came up with.
It came from my imagination.
A fantasy.
Can it be real?
Something I can touch.
It came from the earth.
A reality.
A lie.
Day by day
We wake up
What do we say?
Day by day
We get out of bed
All the words we say
Are just made up in our head
Day by day
We paint a picture of ourselves
I do not have nine lives
My wounds take time to heal
They hurt and I have no pain medicine
When I am abused, how do you think I feel?
I do not shed human tears
But I do make noise from the pain
Why me?
I thought you loved me?
You picked me up and saved me.
Why?
Why did you want a friend?
To make another creature feel miserable
We walk a fine line, between tolerance and mistreatment
Acting so swift with your hair tied up and your back stick straight
I can see your pulse elevating by the temples on your lucid face
With my neck in the collar
and the collar to the leash,
I have nothing to live for,
except eating loose meat.
I once had a mother,
she understood me,
Now I have nothing
Let's go back. I mean way way back.Just a face in the bleachers, a train on the track.With your laces tied together I thought you would fallBut you kicked off your shoes and it made me feel small.
His game was astronomical
This young boy who loved to hunt
In the underbrush of the forest
sun halve past twelve
A fox appeared ahead
Golden fur and bright brown eyes
Childish are the thoughts of the white man
as he runs around is playground called Earth.
Free he feels; and full of life
as he spreads his arms
and pretends he is an airplane;
dodging the clouds and the fog.
The Dementor you have
And the Dementor I have
Have stopped us from solving
Hungers from deprived ones,
Diseases not worthy to spread,
Revenges too unimportant to do.
One day, you and I should
Dead legs dragging,
She'll cut them off
To save the whole,
Sad but not sorry,
Wishing for wings.
Desperate to fly because walking here was fatal.
"You are like a cloud I spy peripherally,
But vanish as I set mine eye upon it.
but vanish as I cast my gaze upon it.
Welcome to this world, this cold, cruel place,
Where violence and hurt are quick to replace.
Here are some things to which to pay mind
If, and only if, you wish to survive.
To you having control is the most
You own everything, from houses to cars
You snap your fingers thinking everyone is your dog
Get what you want and work for nothing at all
Yeah, that the life of a spoil rot
The Bell Rings
The bell rings
We take our seats
And care not for beings
Who we can beat
The Hunter’s Dilemma
The hunter is a proud person
Proud of where he comes from
Proud of what he does
And proud of what he has done.
Death knows not the difference -the boundaries- between youth and the aged;
It knows not the faces of color, race, or religion.
Death knows not the deeds of the Good Samaritan and the failures of the old withered man.
Listen to Me for once in your life!
You don't know what this pain really feels like.
No one knows what I'm saying to you.
All you hear is a bark or two.
I lie neglected all day, every day.
