Can civilization progress without all the killing? It doesn’t take much; we just have to be willing People hunt for sport and poaching for the haul Selling skin & bones of creatures great and small Clearing out forests in the name of development Fairly certain slaughter is not what that word meant That’s the sad thing about this world, its run by greed Wonder how it came to this and who planted the seed The corporate's only want their pockets filled While the poachers just want their orders billed What if we all spend some time on conserving? Couldn’t we co-exist without the marauding? Game hunters stand next to their kills shamelessly And we sit here behind screens, pretty much aimlessly  Keyboard heroes spread their words all around But only a handful would actually get on the ground We have to stop taking this planet for granted          Protect our animals and get trees planted We’re not...

Look at him, so handsome and smart Girls flocking around him, he’s like a work of art How he does it? Nobody can really say Imagine if someone looks at you this way? Look at her, so popular and beautiful Intelligent, funny and oh so graceful She can have anyone in the blink of an eye And all you can do is stare and sigh Look at them, such a close group of friends Confident that they’ll be together till the end Having each other’s backs through thick and thin If you had friends like that, how would life have been? Look at that family, so happy and loving Perfect in every way, with no pushing or shoving They’re like something out of a movie or a TV sitcom, And you just sit there, wondering where are they from? Look in the mirror, what do you see? A human being, young, strong and free Don’t worry about them or what the world sees in you Because someday, you'll be in the eye of envy too 

Words, one of the most powerful forces on earth They can bring happiness and they can also hurt We take them for granted, we don’t really think That the things we say can leave us on the brink Words start wars and destroy without warning Spreading hatred and sending armies storming At the same time they can spread love and peace Bringing war to an end so that suffering will cease Words can tell stories both of fact and of fiction From poetry to music and other forms of diction They bring to light all your most intimate feelings Like a promise of affection that’ll leave you reeling Words can offend and break peoples hearts at will Destroying a person’s spirit with the pain they instil They can bully, shame and bring fear to peoples minds And turn a weakened soul in to one that’s unkind Words can also motivate, strengthen and inspire And bring to life all your inner most desires They can give a broken spirit a new outlook on life The right ...

I see you, who you really are I see the pain beneath the scars I see the fear locked in your heart A fear of love, tearing you apart Inside, you want that companionship That someone who won't abandon ship But you're afraid to open your mind Cos in the past, someone was unkind Yet I see it, the love you so desperately hide I see the cravings you have locked inside But it's not my place to tell you how to live Nor is it anyone else's advice to give But I see it all, hidden deep inside you I see through you, cos I've been there too And that strong face that the world sees May fool many, but you'll never fool me Cos I see the loneliness in the tears you don't cry And I see it all, in your lying eyes 

Broken inside, haunted and alone Walking through life, all on his own  All his losses, his heart still mourns Tears in his eyes, cos of chances blown  With no real direction, he wanders on Walking through roses, but covered in thorns  Thinking of his purpose, why he was born And why it's always his heart that ends up torn  The road winds long with much in his way  His desolate heart wanders without much to say  Fighting for his sanity with each passing day  Hoping the next person he meets might actually stay His mind clouded, pondering what went wrong  Looking for reasons for him to remain strong  Pushing through hurdles on his journey long Growing tired and weary of the same old song Weak and broken, the predators begin to stalk Like a fish in the water through eyes of a hawk  All he wants in life is an ear to hear him talk Hopefully he will find it, and end his long walk 

I don’t know who you are, Or if you’re near or far I don’t know if you even exist Or whether or not I will persist I wonder who you could be or why you'd ever choose me Will I really be the only one you need? Regardless of my caste or creed? I’ve searched for you a long, long time Longer than I’ve been writing rhyme If I meet you, will you truly be the one?  And will my search be finally done? But what if I have already met you?  And you were just passing through Or maybe we were never meant to meet And I’m in denial and cant take defeat Even if it feels like something’s amiss I guess that’s just how life really is I wonder who this will all end up with? Or if I should accept that 'the one' is a myth And whether or not I accept that life's not fair I'll always wonder if you’re somewhere out there

Being awake when the world is at rest Is probably the worst of life's many tests Lying awake in the dead of the night  With a thousand thoughts that shine so bright  Haunted by memories of a past so wild  Cigarette smoke lingers in the breeze so mild The minutes keep ticking over on the clock  And overthinking everything is barely a shock The flickering TV is just a tiny distraction Still unable to sleep, regardless of the action So many problems and so few solutions The silence of night in complete dissolution The days are long and the nights even longer With every second, the pain gets stronger Day in, day out it’s the same cold routine An endless looping of the same old scene It’s sad but true; there’s no rest for the weary Only vexing inhibitions that make you teary Insomnia is a curse, it's so dark and unkind It's hell on the body and even worse on the mind
