THE RIGHT DOSE
The difference between being their medicine
And being the poison that fills their veins
Is the dose you're willing to give them
It's knowing when they need a shoulder to cry on
But also when they need a kick up the arse
~
It's knowing everyone will fall at some point
But a helping hand isn't always the answer
Sometimes they need to rise on their own
To truly understand how strong they really are
A warrior sometimes has to fight without a shield
~
It's about still being there in the crowd
Letting them know you're their...
And being the poison that fills their veins
Is the dose you're willing to give them

But a helping hand isn't always the answer

A Life of Contradictions
Change is the constant; the rhythm of time never ceases its cycle.
Longing for peace, yet preparing for war in the shadows of fear.
Walls that we build to protect us will also confine us in silence.
Happiness drifts as we chase it, elusive and fading from view.
Richest in gold, yet the poorest in spirit, the heart remains hollow.
Independence demands that we lean on the strength of another.
Leaders are strong when their hearts lay exposed to the winds of destruction.
Trying to blend, we are lost in the masses; ourselves disappear.
Knowledge...

Silk
I avoid common
pleasantries we end
up falling merciless
at the knees to
as I imagine
you get asked
these questions
quite often,
so we discuss the mentees who
still ring you occasionally, eagerly
filling you in about what's happening
because the powdered wig remains
your life long companion,
how one got their first win recently
and couldn't believe it until they
returned to chambers, you show
me silk scarves your sister gifted
last month as she accompanied

Being feeble minded

Psychologicaly

Stolen from the old

To High
Wilfull ignorance
Is bliss
So people say
Unconsciously
I agree
To live one's life
Believing everything
That one is told
Is real
Without Questioning
Being Directed
To all these different groups
Based on Nothing but
Theory's and Lies
Circler thinking
Feeding the loop
Echoing
Off the bars
Of a Cage
That you made
But for some of us
The Price
Is to High
To Pay
Is bliss
So people say
Unconsciously
I agree
To live one's life
Believing everything
That one is told
Is real
Without Questioning
Being Directed
To all these different groups
Based on Nothing but

Circler thinking
Feeding the loop
Echoing
Off the bars

Things Beautiful...
Through our delicate sight, the world unveils its radiant art in colours,
A magnificent magical canvas of nature’s grand design.
Mountains boldly rise, statuesque and beautifully contoured,
Kissed by clouds, their resplendent mighty peaks shine,
Distant quiet Valleys cradle bending rivers, their cool flowing waters entrancing almost hypnotic,
Whispering tales of time to the fair earth below.
The ocean soothing waves, alluring and mesmerizing,
Holds mysteries in its secret shallows and radiant depths.

We're Not Here
Funny old world
When you think
When we sleep
We're not Here
We're gone
Into the Unknown
And yet
We're being told
By these so called Educated
That they know
Where we go
When we sleep
When you think
When we sleep
We're not Here
We're gone
Into the Unknown
And yet
We're being told
By these so called Educated
That they know
Where we go
When we sleep

The Book of Man
A story book their ingenious invention,
written with dishonest intention,
Penned by scribes with trembling quills,
To carve out myths and codify wills,
A patchwork text of borrowed, made up lore,
Bound to man an enthrall, to preach, implore.
Not a single voice divine, nor a holy pen,
But the schemes of greed, domination by power-hungry men.
Written by the minority they cleverly invent,
for the majority their ambitious intent,
Chosen by those who claim divine favor,
A gift to the few, the masses...

Thoughts of the Untamed Haiku
Fire's breath on canvas,
Illusive, cruel to adeath,
Whispers pierce the night.
Loom threads lies unseen,
Velvet dusk with molten glow,
Earth hums tales below.
Dark symphony calls,
Void swallows, leaving its mark,
Shadows in the field.
Winds howl through the wild,
Vigil kept beneath the sky,
Heart dares to take flight.
Illusive, cruel to adeath,
Whispers pierce the night.
Loom threads lies unseen,
Velvet dusk with molten glow,
Earth hums tales below.
Dark symphony calls,
Void swallows, leaving its mark,
Shadows in the field.
Winds howl through the wild,
Vigil kept beneath the sky,
Heart dares to take flight.

My Sacred Temple
I plan to build a temple for the true outcasts.
For the hardcore skeptics,
for the potential murderers and convicts,
for the orphans and widows,
for the lonely and scared,
for the prostitutes,
and more.
Open debate, social events, support groups, amusement parks, and more will be created.
Partake in the true experience of Heaven on Earth!
There are no sermons, but the voice of people will be heard.
No hierarchy...God is everywhere!

Submission.
Well, it’s finally happened.
I’m officially Life’s bitch.
Its plan to dig its claws into me,
went without a hitch.
Its firm grasp only tightening,
and
won’t let me go,
like a blood binding contract.
it took ownership of my tattered soul.
Why not someone else?
I have literally nothing to offer.
I try to do good, keep my head down,
living a mundane life,
so why bother?
I’ve felt the heaviness on my soul
from such a tender age..
how foolish of me to think I’d leave this lifetime ...
