Cycle of Life


From the time you’re born
Till the time you’re old
Wondering here and there
Throughout this world

A baby’s face so soft and smooth
Crying out for a change and food
A baby’s smile brightens the day
A young man’s laugh at going astray

Young teenager fierce in his ways
Tormenting his parents for better days
Young man gone into this world
Only to find out, it’s all too cold

Lady in waiting for a prince
Only to find out, there is no such thing
Love or love not
Running fast to beat the clock

When you become old
Everywhere you go, it seems cold
You are no longer cute
Your crying needs becomes astute

As if waiting for death
The body does not seem to care
Taking it one day at time
No longer in it’s prime

As the end is near
You can barely hear
Repeat…repeat…repeat
Believe in love, before life is complete

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!
