Time goes on

The world does too

Our Nature grows and dies

Our technology expands and flies

We manifest and destroy

To make ends meet

Even with passing days

We forget about the increasing heat

Or the decreasing ice sheets

Nothing seems important

To global tyrants and corporations

But money and power

At the cost of decreasing our showers

We accept it which is worse

We have the power but we are hurt

No one's standing tall to fight

To fight the fight that was lost

As time goes on

 

The world will too

 

2.

Fields of green covered by skies of blue

Nothing old, nothing new

Nature sings as it creates a scene

Worthy enough for a king

I sit and ponder

And I wonder in awe

As my life is touched by Natural Law

So I begin to ponder the thoughts I have

How is it that nature is so sad

So loving, so kind, so peaceful, so mad

So wild, so brash, so chaotic, so fast

To be apart of nature is no gift

But to fall in love with nature

Now that’s my wish

Love

The one thing we desire

Something to fill our hearts

With passion and fire

And with time

It grows hotter than the sun

Even when it's past its prime

Even when there's no more fun

To make ends meet

No one accepts defeat

Because Love is a sacred, eternal flame

Burning bright and wild

Even if it's crashed with waves

Even if it is defiled

Each half of the whole

Takes with them a burden

Their others heart and their soul

To protect them from hurtin’

Because you both are sure that this above

Is a beautiful depiction of your

Love

Fear

Surrounds us

Buries us

Controls us,

It is a fiery ball of fus

We let blind fear guide the way

From a decision, to a regret

Nothing ever is set

Just remember tomorrow is a new day

,but fear can be molded and formed

To fit the way we perform

I urge the way you think to transform

So fear can never take hold

Of the norms that you behold

And allow you to break free

Because against the grain

Is the way to be

And not seeing clear

comes from

Fear.

5.

Burning flames, turn white with hate

Tames my soul at heavens gates

Or tears me in two and makes me miss

Being tortured down in Hell's abyss

An emotion I can not suppress, even at my best

I'm up against the fence, forced not to rest

Given it all,trying not to fall

Under the burning flames

Of my white hot hate

6.

Limitations are necessary

No man was meant to be extraordinary

But those who fathom the unexplained will say

Limitations were meant to be surpassed and broken with dismay

I can not express how I feel

When I sit in my cold sweat, but keep my zeal

The will I maintain in my head, the strut I keep in my feet

Knowing one day I will be a man who can not be beat

But for now I train to be the one who knows all pain

Because my anger is my power

But pain is too

Hiding emotions keeps us grounded

But letting go pushes us to break through.

7.

People all around

Never listen to the sound

Of pain shared by all

 

8.

I am the one who saw the end

But did I stay and warn my friends?

No one cared and or knew

What would happen to the few

But I had to stay so I could press send.

9.

Last night was the first time I saw you

And to my surprise you were happy

Although I did not know why at the time

What caused your smile?

Because I for one could not relate

To the muscle formation occurring on your face

I look alive, but feel dead

All these things I should of said

Moments pass by and later so do years

That I sit and think

And sometimes shed tears

That I was so blind to see

That while I was happy with you

You were dying with me
