Poetry by Jennifer Olston

Rising with fear upon hearing, Our savior is a man on earth. Every woman shall hurt and hurt. Oh! How they shall hurt! He walks among lovers, Every woman shall want him. To father her children, To be her lover! He is a man among men, His charm surpasses all of them. Women cry out his name, When asleep, when awake. The pain that a woman must endure, For her savior to be a man on earth! The pain is so great, her pure heart will break. But who will save her? No one! He will betray her! Again and again He is a lover A man among men! If there is a heaven, it will cease to exist! He is a lover among lovers. A man among men, Charming women across the land! He walks among lovers. He is a man among men. He is not almighty. He will betray women. Even their love for him!    

I shall rise over this troubled water and when I do, The torrent of death shall set me free! To fly like a bird over the mountain to see; The birth of spring throughout the valley, Where flowers dance with the soft breeze, The lullaby of a bird tending to its young, and The buzz of the honey bee, shall sweeten my senses. And once again, I will survive the hell That I was in, knee deep. Rising over troubled water - vocal

    For people that seek answers Of the mysteries of the universe Shall always dream and wonder Time and time again Looking to the outside is only a lie For the answer is within, deep inside Now and again we cave in for desire To feel good and to be adored To be respected and loved Now and again, we fall in love Sometimes it lasts, what a blast! Other times we get hurt, such sadness  It is the mystery from within That we must conquer in life Only then we’ll be happy, so go ahead and try!

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...

I am wet I am wet Wet yeah! You know when to go down Just the right time, down, down I am wet I am wet Wet yeah! I want you so bad, But you make me wait it out You love to make me wait Like you are the perfect bait! You love when I come on to you When I dance the meringue and get loose! I fall into your arms and choose you, My perfect partner in crime, Love me, time after time. I love you, you, you You are the one I choose Cause you get me loose Loose Loose Loose! I am wet I am wet Wet yeah! Wet yeah!

What am I? A kiss on your lips A star in the sky What am I? Your friend, your lover The mother of your child What am I? I am your romantic bliss A speck in the sky What am I? I am the light that shines like the sun In your miserable life What am I? The answers on demand Loving you time after time What am I? A kiss on your lips A star in the sky This poem was written upon listening to Sonic Koco's song As Still  As the Night.

  When I woke this morning The sun smiled at me What I did not know My life would be cut short through a hateful deed   Reporting as a soldier should I went out and about Keeping honor and serving my country Living life and being a good scout   In the streets of   London Life seemed to be good Until I encountered my attackers And all hell broke loose   Hate flowed from my attackers As blood flowed out of my body Through all the pain and agony My body succumbed to death Now that I am gone My life was once full of promise Once a soldier, a human being, a man I depart from loved ones with sadness and homage Dear  Me

Why does hate exist in a world full of bliss? Why does hate run havoc in a world that lasts? Why does hate take seed in a normal human being? Why is hate so powerful that living is not allowed? Why is hate programmed in a very fine gentleman? Why does hate create hostility and thrives to humiliate? Why? Why? Why?   It is hate that causes wars, famine and people to be poor. It is hate that makes human kind deteriorate and can’t take it anymore. It is hate that kills bystanders, the children and the poor. It is hate that fuels loss of limb, loss of hope, and life to be no more. It is hate that spreads disease, famine, and makes more wars. It is hate that instills the passion for terror and loss of life around the world. It is hate after all, that has no regards for humanity or the spread of war. It is hate that we should humiliate and eliminate, at all costs therefore.

I called upon God to watch over me But he wasn't there, and just let me be   I cried tears of sorrow Waiting for a better tomorrow   All to no avail People are rude Life is cruel I am alone in my hell   Life is good you see Why then does hell happen to me?   In a world where I am all alone No one to lead me away from the dark No God on his throne   I set myself free From worries, from curses From religion and churches Now it’s all clear to me There is nothing better Than to be free to be

Upon a shining star Where land meets the sea A wish was granted To you and to me. So many came and went From a far far away land Looking for a renewed promise So many women and men. So many ships, ahoy men Looking long and hard in search for land At last, a guiding star at hand Could only save a few of them. The wish was granted for them to see A promised land, a land of the free! Land of the Free    

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!

As I sit here thinking of you Of the times we spent together The fond memories of us   Seems as if we were in heaven   I still long for you, it’s true The mad love we shared The passion, the good times I wish we were together Once we became one As love flowed through a woman and a man I imagine being in your arms feeling our love Flow through us again and again   I will never forget you Your love stayed with me through Yet every day, I long for the day Our love will renew

Imagine freedom of speech What schools should teach Open to new ideas, not preach Imagine being safe everywhere No guns, no violence No fear of being dead Imagine world leaders who embrace Peace and safety for humankind Regardless of origin or race Imagine e veryone is treated the same No religion or preten sions Working in unison is the aim   Imagine for every child Love only multiplies At least a thousand times Imagine no hate for others Embrace all humankind For only love matters

Angels are not made of wings They are made of small things   They are humble and loving Always giving and never angry   When an angel smiles You will smile too   Their laugh is contagious It always gets to you   An angel will brighten your day Help you along the way   It might take time to find one But when you do, you will remember   Angels are not made of wings They are made of small things  

I am thankful for The Moon and the Stars The Sun and the Earth below, The mountains and the valleys The ocean, the lakes, the rivers, And the streams that flow. I am thankful for The trees that give fruit And the ones that do not so, For their beauty is all year long, Their green branches give me Shade in a hot summer day, Their lovely flowers and sweet Perfume awaken my senses In a spring afternoon, In the fall, their leaves full Of color remind me of the rainbow. I am thankful for The birds and their young, And all the living things Including the beasts free to roam, For they are all part of this Beautiful world that That I want to love and know! I am thankful for The children that cry And the children that glow, For their mothers and their fathers, Their aunts, uncles and grandparents, Who love them so? May all children of the world be loved as they grow!

As the wind pushes me through the air I dance around care free I don't care if the end is near Or the fall for me is here   In the sky above, above land up high I change colors, I am not shy Sunny days, cool and crisp nights Invite me to tumble, each and every time I am a whisper in the wind One of many in a big tree A speck in the forest One of many for you to see   I have reached high into the sky Kept watch over a starry night Gazed upon a shooting star I was a gentle rustle in a windy night And a lullaby to a small child   I was once a burst of joy In a sunny spring afternoon Lived in a tree in full bloom Rain quenched my thirst In a hot summer afternoon   My, oh my! How time has gone by!   As you see me tumble by On a sunny fall afternoon Think of all the things I did And all the things I’ve seen!

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

The winding paths of life Bring me to realize I walk alone   For all the days in my life Some good, some bad I walk alone   Through every crevice in the hill And the strength of my will I walk alone   Through love or tenderness Love fills emptiness I walk alone   Every need or feeling I have begged, kneeling Yet, I walk alone   Every disaster brings sadness The vein of emptiness hardens I walk alone   So I ask myself Is there peace to thyself? Yes, there is, Nature is my peace! Yet, I walk alone

You might call me crazy But I feel hazy Such a sight, I can’t put out of my mind Please go easy You are a tease Going nude in an ocean bath If you want to wow me... Love me tenderly, I might just pass out! Never before have I seen... A beaufitul manly thing! F rom head to toe naked, The hot sun glistens on your body You look good, big and hard! You might call me crazy But I feel hazy Such a sight, I can’t put out of my mind Please go easy You are a tease Going nude in an ocean bath

Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away into the mist Sail away into the fountain of thirst Sail away my love… Sail away Sail away to the pinnacle of the earth Sail away to where man has never been Sail away to the fountain of youth Sail away my love… Sail away Take me to the end of time Make passion burn deep inside Oh! You told me so! Love through me would flow, Through every vein deep into my soul! I want to love you till the end of time Light up your soul Like a rainbow in a thunderous sky To be in your arms When the sun shines Through a thunderous sky Through mud or sand Till the very end You are my love desperado The one and only aficionado Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away into the mist, Sail away into the fountain of thirst Sail away my love… Sail awaaaayy
