Imaginationless

Where oh where have rainbows gone,
What happened to the awe we held for the trees?
Where is the scent that wafted in the air
and made us love the touch of the breeze?

Little One

Babies Babies every where..

For those without it seems unfair..

That all these junkies and jerks...

Get such big perks...

Getting the chance to bring forth life..

but considering them nothing but strife..

Others desire one they can call their own..

but instead they're left feeling alone

The Fire

FLAMES ~ LOVE ~ HATE ~ TRUST

they burn and scorn

distorting the human form

consumes all that speak its name

Death and creation all the same

destruction that one can't forget

conquering without regret

so hard to gain

and harder still to maintain

Until the FLAMES of LOVE and HATE

completely obliterate

Price

Who am I?

In the grand scheme

of things so often

left unseen

What purpose

do your two faces serve

when everything is on the line

and life throws another curve

Do you stand

and sacrifice

your heart and soul

for another's life

Am I worth

more than the another

because they have

less things to offer

Are they

to be cast down

left to seek acceptance 

that cannot be found

Or should their value

instead be tested

through actions, virtue

and the time invested

on Kindness and hope

the act of selfless giving

looking past the ideals of price

and learning the value in living

Utopia

In my dreamy world

There are people filled with light

darkness left among the shadows

never to escape the night

Its filled with dreamy lives

led with beauty and charm

Where the love of Romeo

brought Juliet no harm

They all have dreamy hopes

that become truth instead of remaining dreams

No one ever knowing

the hurt disappointment brings

The real world

is filled with hurt covered with a lie

a place where

evil and pain never seems to die

Real lives each affecting the next

with no way for hate to be contained

to selfish to see

those who have been pained

They have real hopes

dashed out by a harsh reality

knowing that their dreams

may never be

America the Beautiful

We the People

Holding Each other at a distance
Unwilling and uncaring
Opening hearts with such resistance


Yet with something
As simple as a snow flake
The monotony of modern living
Takes a break


We can get a brief glimpse
at how the world once was
Isn’t it amazing what the images
Of children gathering outside to play does?


Exchanging nods and
The lifting of a warm cup of coffee
to the strangers
We once pretended not to see


Its gentle glow
Is something for which we should rejoice
For it gives the community we seek
A much deserved Voice


The face of your neighbor
And the kids down the street
Each a piece of the America
We have so desired to meet


Let it be a lesson
So we don’t forget
How to be a family
With those that we have met.

A little Prayer

As I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

And if I die this very night

Let someone out there continue my fight.

I stand for those too afraid to speak

Whose thoughts and lives are quite unique.

They are often heard but not truly seen

because Ignorance can make people mean.

I pray my God to heal the pain

So lives lost were not in vain.

People fear what they don't understand

but you give us nothing we can't withstand

In Honor of All those that couldn't escape the bully's words
