I would hate being you.

Listen To Us
You try ignore me when I try to warn you about what's going on,
You push me away every time I try to tell you about what the hell is going around, but really you just don't listen well do you?
Do you ever stop to notice the blood shed around us?
Or how it's destroying us?.
Listen to our world, hear her cry as she's weeping in silence from our neglect and abuse.
How could we ever be so cruel?!
Listen to us!
Hear us!
Can't you hear us?!
Listen to us!
Please!
Listen to us!
Can't you hear us?!
Listen to us!
Won't you?
Listen to us!
What have we done to the world?
Look what we have done.
There used to be beauty,
There used to be love,
And there used to be smiles everywhere as far as I can see, but now all I see is distrust and destruction.
Patterns of prejudice follow us along with the temptations of hate.
Can't we find a way to make a change for the better?.
Save us from ourselves and love one another?.
As people are dying around us we seem to end up caring for just ourselves.
How could we become so selfish?.
How could we ever be so cruel
Listen to us!
Hear us!
Can't you hear us?!
Listen to us!
Please!
Listen to us!
Can't you hear us?!
Listen to us!
Won't you?
Listen to us!
How could this possibly be the world for our children?.
A world filled with hatred,
A world filled pain,
A world filled with so much ignorance and indifference.
Tell me how did we let this happen?.
Ask yourself this: where is the love?
Listen to us!
Hear us!
Can't you hear us?!
Listen to us!
Please!
Listen to us!
Can't you hear us?!
Listen to us!

Equality
You'd like to think that only one gender must rule the world,
I say that theory stinks.
You say it's just the way of life,
I say that's yesterday's thinking, today is today.
So I can't win in a fair fight because you think it's 'un-lady like',
I say you're probably just scared.
Who the hell said only one can rule the world;
There is a king,
And there is a queen, but why can't we all be kings?.
See it's the thing with us today,
I don't wish for these kind of thoughts to stay.
So if a girl and another girl lock lips it's fine,
But god forbid if a boy and another boy do the same right?.
Let me just shed some light onto the subject, shall I?.
You mean to tell me it's only natural if a man and woman love each other,
But if a man and man or a woman and a woman love each other they are sick and twisted?.
Now in days of our generation we've became so addicted and consumed with the insecurity of ' looking' straight or better yet 'acting' straight we've forgotten the pain it's inflicted on them.
The drama of today is pulling us into something we all don't want.
So if the color of your skin is a shade darker than mine we cannot be friends?,
When do you think it's ever ok to try and dismay something that you're born as?.
Color doesn't define character, your character defines your color you dumb, ignoramus.
Go on ahead with your shameless, smug remarks see what happens then.
However, you'll obviously won't leave this blameless and
blame maybe the ones that gave you life or the ones you allowed to surround yourself with.
I don't know how I can dumb this down for you any further,
You are not better than everybody else, so before you try to judge learn to look beyond the color of mine or their skin or the fact they don't love someone like you do.
Prejudice, No!
Ignorance, No!
Bigotry, No!
Infidelity, No!
Sexism, No!
Racism, No!.
Although you may think the way that you do,
Just know one thing, we are only following individuality,
This is only equality.

Cancer of the Heart and Mind
What’s with all the fucking hate and anger going on recently?
It’s always been there but now it’s out there more blatantly,
What’s going on with these people’s sense of decency?
Why are people so stupid with a lot more frequency?
Why are motherfuckers going around yelling out all these insults and obscenities?
Are there that many assholes in the world they’re now revealing their true identities?
Has hatred always been hiding down in the basement and then just snuck up?
I swear these idiots and bigots need a cork up their spigots to shut the fuck up!
The land of opportunity is lately more like a plot of bigotry and misogyny,
There are so many imbeciles in our society it’s a catastrophe and a calamity,
Morons behaving like turds and stools coming out of the woodwork and cesspools,
They behave worse than animals, worse than jackasses acting like fools!
It’s exasperating to see and hear their slurs they’re just so miserable,
They’re so pathetic and feeble, their lives must be completely irreparable,
They walk around so angry and mad it’s sad it’s devouring them on the inside,
It must be some kind of cancer of the heart and mind but it shows on their hide.
I want to tell them: I feel sorry for you, hatred is eating at you and your soul,
You have so much hurt in you like a child’s tantrum you can’t control,
You’re belligerent and ignorant, maybe uninformed in many ways,
Education starts at home, so maybe it’s the way you were raised.
Should we blame your parents and parent’s parents going back so far?
To identify the root of your hate so that you can see what you are,
Or do you go to church and believe in a different God and bible?
Stop berating with all your hating I’m just saying break the fucking cycle!
Your insults and offences show nothing but your weakness and pretenses,
A lack of intelligence, a dimwitted capability short of what common sense is,
Look at yourself in the mirror and shut up if you have nothing nice to say,
You belittle and embarrass yourself you’re a disgrace to the human race.
If you have no regard toward others how do you have respect for yourself?
It reflects a broken personal life, so check yourself before you wreck yourself!
Life’s too short to be going around angry all the time at your fellow man,
Because the day we meet our maker than we will truly understand the plan.
I can’t help but get upset and frustrated for my colleagues, family and friends,
I can’t help but see the ugliness in the world, will we ever make amends?
But I believe the love we feel for those close to us will reach others,
The respect we give will spread beyond our sisters and brothers.
It doesn’t matter what country, creed, color or your preference is,
As long as we respect and love one another we can overcome this.

Judgement
Ignorance in judgement
Implication of hate
Condemning another’s words
Does not evaluate
Seated upon a pedestal
Spewing, at best guessing
Emotions of a poet
Hubris professing
Hypocrisy was written
Ego and selfishness
To measure creative spirit
Loss of trustworthiness
Implication of hate
Condemning another’s words
Does not evaluate
Seated upon a pedestal
Spewing, at best guessing
Emotions of a poet
Hubris professing
Hypocrisy was written
Ego and selfishness
To measure creative spirit
Loss of trustworthiness

I lay down with rage
Sharp impale
Moves my scream
Up and over these well intended walls of compassion
My new nightmare
Entered into through its red door
Started with onestep,
And by running away
Continued in silent cowering fold
Reluctant friends offer in delicately placed whisper
The directions home
And i weep
Careful my tears do not flood rationality
But keep reason afloat
Sharp impale
Moves my scream
Up and over these well intended walls of compassion
My new nightmare
Entered into through its red door
Started with onestep,
And by running away
Continued in silent cowering fold
Reluctant friends offer in delicately placed whisper
The directions home
And i weep
Careful my tears do not flood rationality
But keep reason afloat
