Pieces of ‘08

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America…”
Give your loyalties to “the government”
But don’t expect them in return

“…And to the republic for which it stands…”
And to the lies on which our
“Country” is built

“…One nation under ‘god’…”
Pushing monotheism unto those
Who deny the thought of “god”

“…With liberty and justice for all”
“We shall ‘protect’ those who have money
And those who conform to ‘us’ “

This government that you claim to be safe
That you claim to know all, is just using you
As if you were slave, in which they have set to
Abolish.

Can you even fathom what it would
Be like if the “government” didn’t lie?
Or cheat?

NO!! you couldn’t because you’ve
Been brainwashed into thinking
That this is the ‘best’ policy

“What can you do” is what you’re
Asking yourself isn’t it?
Well ‘we the people’ can do quite a lot
If only you’d listen

So, unto thee I say
These words, that be

BREAK FREE!!

Refuse to conform and you
Shall see

You shall be happier within a world with out
All the deceitful people the shall be put out
Of power and “WE THE PEOPLE” shall be free

If only I was a morning glory
I would be beautiful
Beautiful yet contemporary

If only I was a morning glory
I would wake at night to see the moonlight
Yet the days I would sleep away

If only I was a morning glory
I wouldn’t have to face the controversy
that surrounds my actions and me

Thou this is just a wish
A fantasy, a dream

But if I were a morning glory
I would miss my life Terribly and
Would wilt a whither away

Knows how i feel
knows how i like him
knows how i love him
knows that i can never forget about him at all

He also knows that with him out of my life, i am not the same
with him I can be myself and he appreciates me for who I am

I love you Kurt Michael

you have one life to live and love is what you give
this is a little freestyle so i’ll try and ad lib
it’s always hard when i write about love
because deep down inside i have a heart full of:
pain, anger, anguish and strife
but still i’m happy everyday in my life
i fake the smiles and hold back the tears
and i doubt that i’m cared for by the rest of my peers
and my life consists of paper and pen
they equal my emotions that i’m writing again
i free myself from the rest of the pollution
i’m searching but i cant find the real solution

your thoughts become your words
your words become you actions
your actions become your character
Your character is how people look at you

YOUR CHARACTER IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!

*arlie jo*

The thundering bass wraps me
In a cocoon
Absorbing my soul,
My emotions, my mind

The echoed screams are all
That I hear building my rage
Making me one with
My demented soul

At the height of my
Emotional high I let loose
My rage, my lust, my envy, my all
My heart stops, so does it all

It begins one last time
Though I do not
I am one with life,
I am one with death

I am everything
I am nothing
I am all your sins
I am all your bliss

All starts to crumble
All starts to fall
This natural high starts to
Crash;

It all begins again

When the rain stops falling,
And no birds sing after,
When the children cry,
There is no more laughter,
The day the sun shines for only an hour,
The day you send me one dead flower,
The day when feelings are no longer true,
Will be the day,
I stop wanting you.

And when this life comes
Tumbling down, down
Into the deep, dark
Awaiting abyss no
One will be there,
There to help
This unholy
Of a soul
They call
Me
But
Then a
Single soul,
A caring soul,
Reaches out unto
The eternally damned
And says unto me a simple
Phrase that I have been longing
To hear … ~ You’re Not Alone ~

times come and go but history always repeats
when racial slurs appear theres no where to retreat
let,s take a second to reflect on my past
i was the only black student in my whole class
well i’m guessin’ that you’re a black student
if you are we are sorta congruent
converting back to the racism subject
i hope you know that it’s not done yet (racism)
it’ll be here for many many years
but don’t let in, don’t shed one tear
don’t let them get you down, hold your head up high
there are no limits, not even the sky

I hate it that he lies
I hate it that gets mad at me
I hate it when we used to break up all the time
I hate it when he makes fun of me being scared of ladybugs
I hate it when he cheats on me
I hate it when we fight
I dislike it when he puts me on hold
