Wants/Needs

it’s all wants
it’s all needs
the rich flaunts
the poor pleads

ICE

Ice once blanketed the land
A frozen, pristine wonderland
But now it melts and slips away
As we watch in horror day by day

The polar ice caps shrink and crack
As greenhouse gases attack
The warming Earth, with heedless pace
Leaves little time to change our ways

Pain of a Father

my daughter

you use her, as your weapon.

i pick her up

and she is glad, to be

out of the cold

the warmth of her, disappearing

with each new time

she returns to you

fighting to stay away

from you

crying about going back

as a father

i am, on unequal footing

you have all the rights

as you kill

my daughter’s flame

Ice

all our life

we walk around

as if we are walking on ice

scared to say

scared to act

scared to exist

Our Feelings

our feelings

they drag us under

pull us under

it is all but an

illusion

Wonder

we wonder

as children

as adults

we wonder

where the wonder

went

Regression

we stand before our gods

we bow our heads

we can no longer

look at them.

we have killed society

The Light

the light

is at the end

of the tunnel.

i cannot

even

see

the tunnel

Fight

people can stand

people can fight

i’d rather

walk

away

I Try

i try and be good

i seem to fail

i maybe should

try and not rail

against being misunderstood
