War

We take ourselves upon ourselves
and FIGHT for our place.
On this
Beautiful Earth
Our soil, Our grains.

We take all for granted
and yet, we can see
that another,
who is out there,
wants to take it
from me.

So we go and we fight
we struggle, and die
who is more humble
than both you and I?

But we consider
The whole earth
and find, from their view
that they feel, they're equal
to I and to you.

But they make,
the mistake
that we take to be true:
that they are protecting,
Their I and their you.


"Whats wrong with a bomb?

Or missile?

Or nuke?
To eliminate
they that congregate
to destroy I and You?


How Justly
we go forth 
to destroy all in view.
There's Nothing that's Better
for I,
and You."


Now, outside,

I look upon
this man, and his view
And I find,
That his mind,
And his reasons
Are true.

But there's something to be said
For an I or a You,
that theirs isn't the only
Truth,
Or point of view.


To Destroy something for its Difference,
Our Indifference, Grew.
Our thought was not for them,
but for tiny I and little You.

Oppression we cry!

Regression say I!

I think war Is never just,
when the reasons
on both sides
are true.

And so I conclude,
through this poem so crude,
That peace
Is entirely up
To I and to you.

Tough, yet fun.

Keeping this up gets tough!!
Sometimes the creative spark burns down to a warm coal.
Yet here we are.

I am excited for a job interview on monday, I will be speaking to a man who sells paintings to businesses. I would earn money spreading beauty to the masses. Sounds like a great job.

I did sell my first painting ever to a guy for $80, and he asked me to illustrate his short story. I think sales could be my thing.

I wonder, do you all like my silly little poems?
They are meant to entertain and uplift, but i cannot tell whether they are working because (get ready for the guilt trip) only my dear sweet mother and my sister comment on them!

It only takes a second to validate a fellow human! :P

Maybe you are just obeying the sign:
Do not feed the Ego.

Go ahead, Break the rule. I wont tell.

Doubt

Somewhere Inside my mind,
a voice
It prods and pulls to influence choice
It talks to me, walks with me
Drives me insane
Who is this odd voice
In the back of my brain?

Sometimes I will give heed,
to it
I will often even speak with it
he's mocking me, stalking me
giving me praise
providing answers
to the questions I raise.

Just leave me alone now,
You fiend!
Hideous and Insidious You!
You insult me, revolt me!
You make me sick!
Why at my soft heart,
Do you constantly pick?

So softly he answers,
my cry,

"Quiet now, soft, and I'll tell you why
I'm part of you, It is true
I mean no ill
I'm here to advise
You still have your free will."


Then I slowly realize,

he's right!
He's Doubt who kept me awake at night
Cautioning me, Helping me,
To see the truth
and exile the Faith
who dictated my youth.


My mind has been opened,
set free!
Faith was the one who tried to own me,
called me diseased, and broken
offered a cure
Doubt helped me see
That Im worth so much more.

Rain.

Pitter patter, wetter weather,
How I love the rain.
splishing splashing, cars are crashing,
Boy, this stuffs insane.

Dripping dropping, trickling toppling,
Water from the sky.
Sloshing swishing, watching wishing,
Twinkle In my eye.

Just catching up!

For those who love my carefree side
Or those who hate my harsher one
On this page happy thoughts reside
Life and love and beauty and fun.

Gratitudes and platitudes
Openness and hopefulness
Oddity and jolly me
Nothing but my very best

My fun me, my dumb me
Elswhere unexpressed.

Exciting New Stuff!!

Hello there readers! I have some GOOD news. I have recently opened up a blog having to do with my views on religion. It isnt as lighthearted as this one is but it sure is interesting. I have BETTER news still. I am now starting a NEW blog that will be all about EBOOKS. It is myebookreports.blogspot.com. You can see an example HERE that will give you an idea of what some of these book reports may look like. There will also follow a link to amazon where you can get the book, or just a sample, to read yourself. Check it out!! Athens

I thought this was interesting.

For all of the people with iPads out there I would imagine that some of them are a bit tech UN-savvy. I found a program that I would have made myself but I have been beaten to the punch. Anyway, if you do have an iPad you should check this out.

Ahh time.

Where have you gone?
Time?
Hey! Wait up!
Seems like I can never get enough of you.
Please be good to me.
I'll do my very best to save you,
And make you feel worthwhile.
Time.
You're such a beautiful thing.
But I know,
You will eventually betray me,
And slip away.
Time.
I love you.
But I don't.
I care.
but I don't.
I think it's now that I realize,
it's just about,
Time.
