Heroes

Heroes, we all have them in our lives They give us hope, they help us thrive And no, I don’t mean the ones with capes Just regular humans in all sizes and shapes   No powers, masks or need for fame But they change the world, all the same They live to give us strength and hope They show us love and help us cope   Some wield scalpels, steady and precise Some teach us truth, and give us a voice Some guard our freedom and enforce laws Giving everything for us, no matter the cause   Some our family, showing us the way Parents, siblings, friends, there every day They hold our hands, and keep us warm And guide us through the worst of storms   They fight battles that we often do not see And they give their lives so selflessly They give us all the freedom and choice Yet we take for granted, what they sacrifice   Heroes are everywhere, even if we don’t see They’re normal people, like you and me Whether they fight, heal, protect or teach They leave a mark, that we can neve...

Ego

They think they're better than the rest smarter, more mature, and stronger too  but in reality when they're put to the test they are the easiest people to see through They live in a bubble, a blissful ignorance in their minds, they can make no mistakes and there's no limit to their arrogance they'll get their way, no matter what it takes They always put themselves first  and be the first to call another person weak their way of quenching that hurtful thirst is by placing themselves on that peak There's no reasoning with them, not at all in their eyes, everyone else is beneath them they'll do anything to make others feel small like demean, humiliate, hurt and condemn  If only they could see the error in their hearts and understand the severity of what they inflict but they don't, even if they tear someone apart only their opinion matters, even if others contradict They're so blinded by their egos and selfish ways they think they're invincible and ...

Twenty-Twenty

What a chaotic year it’s been, Look at all that we have seen, The world stopped because of a virus, And we’re still letting hate divide us, Politicians still lying through their teeth, Ignoring all the funerals and wreaths, Corruption still rampant behind the scenes It’s still the same old song and dance routine, We all should address this common threat, And fight our way back from certain death, So many have been affected already, We’ve seen something this deadly, Yet some still think that they’re invincible, And contracting the virus is inconceivable, They live on in their ignorant bliss But the truth is, nobody is safe from this, They protest having to wear a mask, And it’s really such a simple ask, But people are ignorant and selfish, Only thinking of their lives, not anyone else’s, At least now can we set aside the hate? And unite so we all don’t suffer the same fate, We’re locked down and confined, With so much left undefined, Hopef...

Fight

Fight back, stand your ground Don’t let anyone push you around People pray on weakness every day Don’t let anyone put you in harm’s way Nobody has the right to put you at risk Don’t’ be blind, walk away straight and brisk Fight back; take control of your life Stop letting others put you in strife Live life on your terms, not anyone else’s Sometimes we all have to be a little selfish Whether friends, colleagues or whoever Nobody controls you, not now, not ever Your fate is your own, and that’s a fact A genuine few will always have your back How you choose to live is entirely your choice, Don't be afraid to stand up and use your voice Because it’s all entirely up to you alone Make your decisions all on your own Above all, by your heart do what’s right Don’t be afraid, just stand up and fight

Trust

On our family, loved ones and friends We only see the good in them all And hope they’ll catch us when we fall We blindly put our hearts in their hands Regardless of where they stand But sometimes that trust is misplaced And we end up in a really dark place Trust is hard to rebuild when it’s broken Especially when no words are spoken It leaves our hearts broken and tattered Making us feel like we never really mattered But that’s life and not everyone stays And we still open our hearts every day Because nobody wants to live life alone And even if it’ just a voice on the phone We need someone to talk to and to listen Because our own minds can feel like prison It's the people that stay that are an absolute godsend They truly care and will be there till the end But still, for all, it would be naive  To think that even they won't leave But it's not wrong to trust or open our hearts Because we never know what it may start? It could be ...

Labels

Labels, we wear them so proudly and in vain we stand for them even if they drive us insane like labels of race, religion, gender, and orientation and we fight for them all through any situation We've worn them as long as we can remember like societies and clubs of which we are members even cliques of friends from school and beyond often come together because of a labeled bond The saddest part of labels is that they divide and yet we flaunt them with such ignorant pride they create wars and unnecessary conflicts and we don't see the consequences that they inflict To some they invite exclusivity & create archetypes but they kill individuality and invite stereotypes Race, religion, clubs, or whatever, it's all the same All they do is divide us and that's really a shame Yet, here we are, still so ignorant and blind without even realizing these labels are unkind believing that we're standing up for what's right while in reality we're addin...

Big Hugs

There's nothing on earth, like a long, warm embrace it's the most reassuring gesture, in the whole human race It's the ultimate show of love, affection in all its glory it's both hello and goodbye, and can tell its own story It's there in times of celebration, and in times of great sadness it's the best stress relief ever, cos it takes away life's madness Sometimes it only lasts a moment, that we treasure deep in our hearts it's effects cannot be described, and stay with us from the start It's a connection we can believe in, a feeling we just cant shrug and though we take it for granted, we just cant deny the power of a hug

Endangered Species

Why is it so hard these days To find someone who actually stays? Is it really selfish and unfair To want just one person to really care? Humans are screwed up creatures Lost, despite their beautiful features They only know how to lie, cheat and steal And nobody shows how they truly feel Nowadays people are just cold and cruel And they play you and make you feel like a fool Undying Loyalty is a thing of the past And thus,  no friendship or relationship will last But then, there are still a few rare cases Where we find people without multiple faces There are those who are loyal and caring Particularly when hard times are blaring People like this hardly exist anymore Where it's not an act or elaborate show A genuine few who aren't full of their own faeces And these rare folks are an endangered species 

I, Earth

I am the reason you exist Yet, you take me for granted Do you take pleasure in hurting me? Have I not given you enough? I've given you fire, wind and water Food, and beauty beyond compare Even oceans, forests and mountains I’ve given you everything you have And you think you own me Why do you hurt yourselves? Don't you see how foolish it is? Don't you see you're hurting me too? Because you are a part of me And by hurting and killing yourselves You're actually hurting me By throwing your trash in my oceans And hunting my animals for sport With every bullet and bomb, You destroy so many species Your cruelty makes you evil And you don't even realize it Every wrapper and every scrap You pollute my rivers and oceans Even the trees you cut down You kill without even thinking Nearly everything you do hurts me You destroy in the name of progress You create and innovate at my expense One day you will see that by hurting me You are only ...

One Blood

How do you not see that we're all the same? Same flesh, same blood, we differ only by name Don't we understand what human is anymore? We think we're smart, but we've nothing to show Yes, it'd true we all believe in different things Hate is pointless, what justice does it bring? We have different gods, lifestyles and rules Yet some choose to listen to the rambling of fools What is the point of a nation with free education? If we don't teach people to avoid hateful situations? If we were taught the basics of right and wrong Maybe we'd stop hearing the same hate song All this propaganda about blood these days So much injustice and the people look away All these extreme and racist behavior Is not now nor has ever been the work of a savior We've already seen and felt the toils of a war And it was the single worst thing that we ever saw Why try so hard to go backwards in time And lower ourselves to a level even less than grime Whether...

A Christmas Wish

Tis' the season again, time has flown by another year gone, let the fireworks fly decorations, gifts and blissful holiday cheer with family and friends from far and near December is a month of happy celebrations a month to forget about life's many frustrations a time to reflect on the year that we've had and to accept it whether it was good or bad There's Christmas offers and shopping galore decorations on houses, streets and stores last minute presents both the hits and misses standing under mistletoe and stealing kisses But there are people that don't get to celebrate without family, gifts, food or even a plate and as we enjoy Christmas we often forget to give something back and not feel regret It's a season for everyone to unite in harmony to ignore caste & creed and embrace humanity it's a time for peace to prevail over all conflict for laying down arms and the pain it inflicts Christmas should be celebrated by everyone i...

The Ugly Truth

Take a good look at the world today, At this once beautifully mysterious place Does everyone have to continue living in fear? Is this truly what any 'God' in any religion wanted for the world? We live in a world full of hate, pain and evil Honestly, how can people be so ignorant? Intolerance is a horrible thing, Why can't the people get along and live together? How can we as humans spread so much hate? Why are we afraid of people who are different? There are people suffering and  dying for nothing all over the world The rich live and the poor struggle to survive The extremists kill and terrorize in the name of 'God', The innocent who pray and worship the same 'God' suffer and die How ignorant can people be? just because others are different And because others have different beliefs and choose the way they live Innocent lives lost, and nobody does anything about it, That's the sad truth, all these questions go unanswered Doesn't anyone our so called l...
