Earth's Saviour

But are we not all histories sisters and brothers?
Taken from the same seed of life
Spread out in a world of divided rights

I am all that is you and you are I
Underneath and inside breathing to try
Working out our own place in this life
Seeking answers to what's wrong and right

We learn from generations long lost
Genetically fused and evolving along
Remembering times and tales of old
One must do as one is always told

My brothers and sisters torn apart
Once we loved now bleeding hearts
Too much pain with little to gain
Left out cold in the pouring rain

Once united in our common goals
In god we trust we were all once told
Our future riches are made of fools gold
Divided by greed with nothing to hold

A promise of a new saviour
Of the human race's appalling behaviour
Towards its fellow man and nature
Who will save us from ourselves?
When all we care about is whatever sells!

Life?

Life is passing us by -like a floating butterfly. We all live short but happy lives, we all laugh we all cry; but are we content with our lives. Oh no -we want more and more and more.

What Will It Take

#projecthumanity #nightwrite With every breath We ever breathe We have a chance To change, to weave To break the cycle To start again Forget the past To end the trend To throw down arms To embrace...

we

stand by time, break the rhyme, love a metallic dime, go by the big people's chime. squeeze the world out like a lime, empty it and cross the line.

Fakeness

It’s a cruel world. So I’ve been told. By the ones who are supposed to know. And there is no fair. No one really shares. From the goodness of their souls. People speak. The wiser preach.

For Those Lost

Lives are taken Without a moments thought What horrors we've wrought Inside of our hearts. People kill without reason This world is so crazy Things seem so hazy Is there ever clarity.

Reaping the Over Soul

Sit back chill. Surf the suffering. Too much equidistant losing. It's time for the standing of something. Enough nothing begot nothing. Stop bluffing. Wait for the cuffing. The nail in the coffin.

Life isn't like, you expect it to be. People suffer, not everyone's happy. People are ill. People are dying. People are starving. Some people can't help it. People are cutting. People are murdering.

The Game Of Life

I'm feeling shattered. Well my heart is. She said it doesn't matter. Well the thing is. My life's in tatters. Well my head is a mess. Yeah come on and relieve my stress.
