    Life


    Life

    Keeping my eyes aware
    Witnessing the broken families my heart tears
    Crying tears of pain
    Knowing all to well the losses
    Of past tosses
    Love now propelling out of sight
    Trying to grasp love is like gasping for air
    In this life

    I can only take so much
    searching for another crutch
    ‘til I snap and break
    Struggling to control my mental state
    But I’m still standin’
    Never forgettin’
    But learnin’ to grow one day at a time
    Cause this is our life

    Tolerating everything outside of me
    Mixing which resides within me
    Only confuses me
    Resulting in my state of self-affliction
    Because of my own depiction
    Of my life

    Contagious grief overcomes me
    Leading me once again to my heart broken pain
    There are so many communities in need
    Why don’t they open their eyes
    Embracing the weak and innocent
    While the poor are convicted
    And wealthy are either saved or rescued
    In this cancerous world where we reside
    We choose to survive
    in learning how to live or die
    While living this life

    We do what we gotta do
    surviving’ like soldiers
    But keep your eyes open always
    Always on the righteous side
    Keeping faith in your mind
    Without this the temptation may erupt
    No matter what stay strong
    In the end that will be enough
    I know it is hard with our foreshadowing demons
    Just pray to god
    Invite some help
    While all this destruction and death
    Is in this life




    The Girl: Part II to “Life”

    This is the girl
    The girl that makes my heart curl
    Her eyes make me realize
    All along I have been telling myself lies
    There is no question that my sorrows are no match
    To her lifelong cries
    As I look into her eyes
    I ask the lord, why?
    Why is humanity doomed to die?

    We need to forget about the cause
    And focus on the effect
    In order for us to reflect
    We need to put our thoughts on pause
    And, to be politically correct
    Simultaneously work to reunite society;
    Enforce our laws philosophically
    This is and will be the cause and effect

    Once you think about it
    We are the reason for our economy’s deficit
    We are here to fulfill our destined demise
    This is why through all of the cries and the lies
    We must remain effective and wise
    How else could we survive?
    Knowing all too well that love is required for us to thrive
    Within us, our foreshadowing demons are tempted to dwell
    This is how humanity first fell
    Now, to survive on our own is a must
    So this I will end with “in god I will trust”

    learn to use punctuation. confusion in how you mean for it to be read. otherwise; elegant and touching.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
