celestial forms
white or red they light the way
to dreams while lives wane

Humanity’s Awakening
The state of things have human cause:
air that brings to us labored breath,
disease that brings us grievous death,
and famine from selfish jaws
To save ourselves we’re forced by laws:
learning to live in simpler ways,
ignoring the latest day’s craze.
Common sense needs to take control,
the mind of each comfortable soul,
and heed nature’s warnings always.

I look upon the face of our nation
The creases of strife and hatred etched as stone
I look in to the eyes of damnation
The years of a democracy perhaps overthrown
I look for the spirit of liberation
The pain of the hopeless is ours to atone
A short message today, for obvious reasons to the usual suspect of reader friends.
Doing without is an experience we all say we wouldn’t wish on anyone. I was thinking about doing without my laptop, not in a drastic or tragic sort of way, but with how my mind works it rambled to other places.
Going hungry, sleeping in a car, going without the love of a parent. Sometimes those experiences allow you to understand others better. Those moments in your life humble you and ground you. No, I don’t wish anyone to go through those moments either.
But for those who have?
Embrace whatever the experience, no matter how difficult and use it to help others, even if that help is simply doing the hardest thing there is…being a friend.
“A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.”~Bernard Meltzer

Waking up and Recognizing
by: Lost Mind
What things are on this Lost Mind of mine
People focusing on a cinema and a dime
This world has gone total whack crazy
While lives die greater in numbers than F-bombs in a picture by Scorsese
We’re petty and selfish in ways we don’ t know
Don’t blame yourself for our ignorance though
Don’t get and angry with me for saying it
It’s just a thing that we all need to change and recommit
Did you buy a soft drink for 1.69
Did you stop on the way home for a fast food dine
While there is food in your house and a drink
I do it to, all that money and the good with it I don’t think
But it’s not all about the paper and the jangling discs
It’s about the deep and the core within our midst
No matter what you give in the way of the wealth
If you don’t change your heart death won’t come from lack of health
Dig a little deeper way down go where you hide
Go past the hole forming in the pocket on the right side
Take a u-turn and head back upright
Then squeeze that blind heart real real tight
When you finally feel the pain and the ache
And the agony is way way more than you can take
That feeling is the day to day fate
For those people to the world just don’t rate
We enjoy or luxurious compared lives
While girls are being taken by gun and knives
We enjoy our milk shakes and our Big Macs
While kids hide in mountains waiting for another rocket attack
Hey–you–yeah, the one looking at porn
There are babies that will die as soon as they’re born
While you HD and stream and grip your sex addiction online
Those babies grip a finger for their only time
Have I been preaching during this diatribe
I don’t know, do you feel so sick like you are poisoned by cyanide
I’m just here to share what thoughts seem to flow
Don’t like it, then just tell me to blow
After I wrote this another blogger friend of mind commented that apparently we were in the same mind set today. Take a look at Turn it Off if You Want to by joatmon 14.
