Its a big white world
in which we must add color ourselves
however the only color I have is crimson
the color of humanity
for I am as human as they get
The world will never be colorful
As children we are taught monsters aren't real
But if they don't exist explain the fear I feel
When I walk down the hallway or sit in the park
I'm not afriad of the monsters in the dark
Sometimes I'll look out a window and think about how much of my life I'm wasting.
Just sitting here, watching the sun rise and set, set and rise. Like
Bread that I can't eat.
It's too hot, but oh so
Tempting.
"Forgive, but do not forget," is a saying as old as time.
Ordinary as it may be, it is a powerful message; one that has been forgotten over the years by so many.
Why has the world screwed itself up so badly?
Seriously
Individual expression has basically been spat on
Wasted on
And shoved into a blender
People are turning on one another
Brace yourself
Welcome help
Armor up
Enough’s enough
Hope for the best
Prepare for the worst
Those are the words
You used to calm me
Down by the river
Build a bridge
Every day, there’s enormous bloodshed,
Terrorists chopping off heads in the Middle East,
Thugs throwing acid in girls schools in Africa,
Drugs, kidnap, and murder in South America,
Do you see me for who I am
Or for who you want me to be
Do you see the world as hell
Or a deeper sense of heaven
Do you see yourself as a tomato waiting to be cut
Or do you see all of the people that you love
Upon the rising sun, prone to an inescapable curse
Standing amongst many, who bore this malicious fate
Upon thy first breath, came the wicked intentions of many
Ill and suffering, from what is known as destiny
Drenched upon the battle fieldUnder silver weapons wieldMisdirection her only shieldThe wildest of roses grew
Why does every planet have a moon? Why can't these words lift up out this tune. Why are there police shooting, innocent kids, like politics are crictal? But this rhymes I'm spitting are lyrical. Guess it's the sign of the days.

a major general was killed, 15 soldiers were badly wounded in Afghanistan
