poems from late '07

one name
were nothing but one species on this planet
all brothers in sisters strung together by birth
and we need sustainability, we need something
to keep for the people that come after us
as our parents try to do for us in their unconcious
as an instinct that of which we've nearly killed
we've buried whats really real
excuses for destruction, nothing but shame
why cant the people realize that were all the same
in the way that were living in the same place
same time, same human race
unity needs to happen if were going to survive
be together under one sky without our meaningless grudges
excuses to fight, there arent any plausible
there just our problems with ourselves put on others
respect is what is lacking, how can we open our eyes
to our struggling sisters if the mask of ignorance covers our sight
theres so much more than us, theres 6 billion of us
confused, enlightened, depressed, ready for change
but were really all the same
its just under one name and that is unity

side note
the universe is finally spitting back all the energy
we've fed into it since the origination of ignorance
leaders have blocked out the signals she has given us
choosing to ignore how to fix things
to sustain what we have and grow as a human race
now as so much is finally falling apart
people are beginning to listen but still placed under
their own nervous restraints, scared to make even the slightest ripple
in a society that just pushes down
but we'll push back

I: a message on discrimination
there is no such thing as race, sex, age
just human created concepts to organize people
that could be useful but were cruelly exploited
for years beyond our capable measure
as people we like to organize, sort, distinct
this from that, him from her, high from low
when they are all in truth, equal in the simplest of ways
we're all just variations on a theme,
unique individuals to prove the one common truth

II: a message on potential
we're all just variations on a theme,
unique individuals to prove the one common truth
in our own ways, if we choose to own up to them
if we can discover what they are
what tools have we been given
to reflect the universe's pureness
onto the world we live on today?
lead the way and some people will follow
we can only act to progress to the day
when everyone will admit they will follow

THE day
the true success of the human race will come
on the day were every single human being
can shake hands with one another and say
in all honest truth and sincerity
"i love you, brother"

disclaimer to universe
i may not live this every day
but im trying hardest to find a way
to remind myself of whats real
in a world thats discovered how to distort this
even from birth, permeated in our minds
until the day when we wake up from it
for me, this day is the day
that i can say that im trying
