look around and I see the world dying
See countless mothers crying
Watching wars wage
In this "new" age
we dont care about killing thousands in war
Yet cry for years when a storm hits our shores
I sit here and think of what we all have become
Wanting to leave with no safe place to run
Watching the rich steal from the poor
And still wanting more
Knowing those with power are those most corrupt
Then seeing them turn to blame it on us
Babys being killed because their mothers made mistakes
Drugs being taken as if it was a game
Men raping women and leaving them to die
People witnessing murders and being to scared to testify
The world wont change
And we all are to blame
It’s a damn shame
that it all stays the same
Maybe if we didnt care so much about fancy cars and expensive clothes
Buy multi million dollar houses and diamonds by the load
Thered be no market of oil that people die over
Thered be no people who call others owner
If people were honest with each other and didnt complain
Thered be no sad losses or mass spread of A.I.D.S
The world is against us all because weve made it so
Now’s the time to step up and let the world know
We are the young the strong and we have a purpose
So lay down the guns and bring your minds into to focus
Wrap it up so women dont get pregnant
Go to school get a real job and not a life sentence
Become what we the old should have been
Do something that they never accomplished
I pray that everything may change for the better
I wish we could all be free to say this together
But there is one thing I know to be true
It can only start with me and with you
So lets all raise our voice and speak out against the sins
And if we do this together I know we all can win

Forever[poem]
Current mood: grateful

your my world my sanity and reason to live
to have you forever next me
you'll never know what I would give
a passion and fire that burns deep within my soul
your name whispered across my lips speaking the untold
no more promises and wishes that you'll stay
for the time is finally here
and i refuse to keep you away
the air is filled with happy memories and pleasure felt within
and to not have you forever next no me
would simply be a sin
