A Friend in Need

Mike is his name
Known worldwide
With friends everywhere
He fights a dark stormy night

He feels so alone
Yet he is loved by all
So many ups and downs
Are his life shortfalls
 
The day is gloomy outside
No Sun shining in the horizon
He gets up to go to work
To pay the bills and keep his housing

His family loves him so
That he does know
But life is so hard
Full of demands on the go

He needs power to keep going
A pat in the back for the good job he’s doing
Melancholic and boring, a job needs to be done
He would rather be home photo shopping a bum

His heart is set
He does not care if he gets wet
Wondering the streets on a rainy day
With camera in hand, he comes across
A very loving and wise man
 
That is the man that he would rather be
At peace with himself and his artistry
Taking photos of a world he knows rather well

As if awoken from a dream
This man is Mike Shaw
Loving and caring, he loves all
Everyone who knows him is left in awe
 

Poem inspired by Mike Shaw
Stay well, you are loved.

Hell On Earth

We’ve all seen it Though sometimes it’s a mystery Why bad things happen throughout history But alas it’s not time to judge But rather reflect upon the past As though it would seem like a punch in the face Through terrorist attacks those miserable bastards Through wars that are unexplainable We fight the bad guys to peace attain Yet wars erupt again and again Ah! You thought you could fight the bad guys The truth is, there are no bad guys or good guys We all are bad guys, pretending to be the good guys Name your cause, from religion beliefs To the elimination of chemical weapons, O’ blasphemy! We’ve all stared evil in the face Whether we are calm or break into a rage We can choose to run past the madness Or stare evil in the face with calmness But that would bring the world into sadness The cause of all this irony Is human beings have abused their destiny The call for peace has echoed throughout history Abuse of power is all too co...

This world of mine

This world of mine I want to make it shine. This world of mine I want to make it shine.   Make it shine! Make it shine! Make it shine!   Let there be hope Let there be peace Let there be laughter Let there be happiness In this world of mine.   While the poor and the hungry Live in a war ravaged land, Shedding tears of sorrow Feeling empty today and tomorrow. Waking up day after day To neglect and disdain, I feel nothing, but their pain!   Why wait for tomorrow? Oh! Why wait at all? No more war ravaged land No more blood shed through the land No more hateful men To spread hate through this beautiful land!   No more! No more! No more!   This world of mine I want to make it shine.   This world of mine I want to make it shine.   Make it shine! Make it shine! Make it shine!

UNREQUITED LOVE

Love is fitting To only some The need to love Unfit to none   Love is precious We all know Accept my love? I cannot cope! My heart felt loved But I not ready With a shy smile, I run away Scared that you, may not stay I still hold you dear in my heart Our love, a thing of the past To this day, I can still remember A loving heart, the feeling tender Forgive me, will you? That feeling, to me was new! You did not understand, I could feel your anger! I only wish that you knew My love for you, only grew If only you could accept This loving heart at it’s best!
