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...

Remember when we were kids? And all we wanted was to grow up?  Now as adults, we're flipping our lids  Wondering if the stress will ever stop Back then we were all so carefree Life seemed easy, a breeze and then some As we got older we all began to see How difficult life actually becomes We still have to make time for our friends And as adults we’re sometimes forced to choose The real few will always be with you end We have to let go of some we don’t want to lose Now it’s responsibilities galore It's mostly all work, hardly any play  And childhood feels like a lifetime ago  That's just how it is, there is no other way  We have priorities like bills and food And we do what we can, just to get by It’s all a routine, which is not always good We just do what we do and don’t ask why Adulting was never meant to be easy at all But we have to keep running our own race Life may overwhelm us and make us feel small ...

It's an ability we all wish we had particularly when life got terribly bad but alas that's not the way the world works we have to accept that life can be a colossal jerk  It can be anything, no matter how trivial and there's nothing you wouldn't do if it means survival we all wish we could turn back time at some point in life and hit reset so we wouldn't have to deal with the strife A mistake that cost a relationship choking last minute and losing the big championship the loss of a loved one you couldn't be there for it could be anything, we never really know We all want that button, the one that changes it all one that takes us back in time with one simple call the one that gives us another chance to make things right but like a mirage in the desert, it fades out of sight Life is fickle and there isn't much we can do to mend and only the creator knows when everything begins and ends we push forward, knowing that an opportu...

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 ...

We humans are experts at blaming each other And we do it, even if it means hurting another We never take responsibility for our own actions do we? We’re blind to it for some reason and this just cannot be  We blame others for things like racism, rape and wars When we see others suffer, we start moving our jaws We punish those who do wrong without trying to teach them right And then we go on and on about some self-righteous fight  We blame nations for arming rebels and creating unjust ways Thing is, we could’ve stopped it, but we let it happen anyway We blame a whole race and religion for terrorism without cause And then voice our opinions without knowing what’s true or false We protest immigrants for coming over and ‘taking our jobs’ They aren’t you enemy and this ignorance must stop Imagine if we worked to together and kept moving forward But alas we fall prey to propaganda and the words of a coward  We fight for equality amongst...

This world is full of narrow minded individuals, we humans judge each other so much its almost ritual acceptance in abundance that the world needs hate only grows from many misguided seeds So what if someone believes in something? there should be no room for all this grumbling its not anyone's place to disagree with that to each their own, that's a saddest of all facts Everyone has a right to choose their own dues why does it matter if someone looks different than you? or even if he or she follows another religion? so what if man loves a man or a woman loves a woman There's so many people who talk about saving the earth hate is taught to people, it's not something we inherit at birth save the trees, the animals, but it's all talk with no action lets begin with the people, maybe that'll start that needed chain reaction All this war, the senseless killing and suffering around us all because some idiot somewhere decided to make a fuss MJ said...

Dear lord, The entire world has lost the plot How is it possible that we all forgot? That we're all human beings at heart That in this world's future, we all play a part There's propaganda spreading like wild fire And it's absorbed blindly by hates desire They spill innocent blood in your name So many dying for politics, it's a crying shame Why can't the different cultures just get along? If we could coexist and unite we'd be strong The lack of humanity in some baffles the mind How can we be so evil to our own kind? Women and children suffer unfathomable abuse Rape, beatings and death just the spark to the fuse It's intolerable how low man has sunk Worse even that the oder expelled from a skunk We're also killing the very world you give us Everything is polluted, from the water to the dust We don't realize that we're just hurting ourselves And some future species will have us on shelves Let your guiding light shine...
