Says Life
By: Anonymous
Everything is anything and here's what I say
Let's rock it up in a major way
We can't change the pains as we feel such sorrow
We can't know anything, we can't see tomorrow
But what I do know is simple, what I do know is this
Running away, you will not steal this bliss
This eternal fire, the burning to be
I am whole, human, talented, I am set free
Of your ways, and your pains, your hurt and devastation
No longer will I live, with this spiritual molestation
But instead, you will walk, and continue your lust
To hurt, to lie, to do what you must
But these are children being hurt, human lives are not toys
Yet, you could careless, my words to you, simply noise
So go, go, and remember the truth
You can destroy innocence, but I've got the proof
Live life hurting, but in the end at large
You're destructive, so evil, and thus, guilty as charged

A change within, a soul so near
As life becomes more unclear
To be left to self, what is that?
So unclear through pain, as they chat
They wonder, they wonder, what’s going on?
How can they play with people’s life, how do I stay strong?
Yet lose no faith, as I do know this
I am one, I am whole, I am bliss
That is because, I will carry on
And live a life, a life where it’s gone
But does it ever leave, what do I know?
The pain, the pain, in my soul it does show?

Her Beauty Captivates me,
Her Eyes Dazzle me,
Her Voice Soothes me,
Her Smile Touches me,
Her Touch Warms me,
She is Jaclyn

My love is a confession
Which has been shattered
And scattered in time
The pieces never to be collected
But they are not needed For you have returned to dust
But in need of nothing am I
For I am Father Time

Drums in the deep
Ever growing stronger
Beating life’s rhythm
Telling times tale
Forever beating
The Heart is

Flies the Eagle
Master of the skies
On wings of rhythm
Riding on winds
Perceiver time
Forever in the sky
We Are
By: J. Peter King
Sure many of us have them
A family or a place with people to call our own
Still I must make a statement
A statement about the family without the blood
You know what I’m talking about
They laugh, hurt, and feel what you feel
An extended bunch with hearts and souls that are connected
A blessing, a curse, but still we love one another
With or without the drama, we are our own
We need one another, some more than others
And yes, through it all, we love, or at least...
We try
HUMANITARIAN
By: Emily Kacir
Maybe the key to the Continuation of humanity Is hiding within me.
And I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do to end this hatred and destruction.
See, I have told you?
Told you it was the key.
And we’re moving like there’s nothing else; no war, no death, and hell is just a children’s myth.
I see myself inside your eyes I am free.
This is what our founders died for.
Their flags bloody and torn.
This is what we’ve been searching for.
Why man is always fighting war.
There’s a war being fought inside with explosions and screams and violence.
I might be close to tears right now, but I think that’s good instead of bad.
And you stop.
Here I was thinking, you’d been an atheist all these years.
And for me I hold the answer.
And that’s just not right.
War does crazy things to men.
Women put their heels on to raise their status high.
Men like to compensate so their buildings touch the sky.
But my heels make me trip and fall, and your buildings Crumble Down.
And here are man and woman lying on the ground.
It’s raining, but they walk this earth.
Feet pound the pavement hard.
But at least there’s no pretending.
You want to pillage? Or maybe plunder? Want to claim my beings territory as your own?
Yes I’m a liberal and you sure as hell are your own.
But fuck me, you like it when my ideals aren't free.
Red lights flicker through the window.
They pulse to the rhythm of this town.
Ecriver l’infame.
We’re starting a revolution, but I can’t see right now, explosions blind me.
Like your life is in the balance, I think I hear our worlds colliding.
I don’t want to think right now, but I found a way to fill the emptiness in my world.
I’m a humanitarian at heart.
Count me in

Life a rather passionate and interesting thing
However, in some cases, we can and do lose focus
Our hopes, dreams, thoughts, fears, and worries
They all add up, and can overwhelm ones being
Yet, if we decide that we will not be sluggish
If we decide that yes even at that age we can earn a Bachelors degree and work full time
A decision is made that we can help that lost soul, or wounded individual
Without sounding preachy, all that is said is only for the good of all of us
Avoid words such as; no, or quit, or even loser
Because regardless of ranking we have all won in some way After all we are here, now, alive!
Let that be the message, and may it spread all over
To never lose sight, hope, or focus
As now, we have won, and if not We shall win because we are a society of winners
The choice between hope and despair is simple, because despair is not an option!
Crazy Pets

They say in life, it’s best not to live in denial
But I say what’s wrong with having a pet crocodile?
As I wake up in the morning the bird singing on a twig I’d be even more excited to play in the mud with a pig
But wait there is more I won’t stay in suspense any later
As I get my exercise from wrestling with the alligator
So many goofy options, my imagination will unlock
I’d love to go to school with a feathery peacock
Or perhaps, yes, or maybe even no
I’d always feel safe near a friendly hippo
Alas I have to come to figure out this and that
As I sleep so soundly, nestled in with the bats
