You Shall Know The Truth
A WORLD OBSCENE
A world obscene
Is this what they get from us?
Where wrong is right
And right is wrong
Ever since the lines got blurred
And our cosmic speech became slurred
A world obscene
Is that what we’re leaving them?
Can we fix it?
Do we dare try?
Do we even want to?
Or are we too busy passing the collection plate
Hoping against hope
Religion wins their precious souls
We must step up!
Own what we’ve done
Let’s begin by admitting we didn’t care
As much as we were supposed to
Let’s create for them a new scene
I beg of you
Let’s not leave them a world undone
Let’s not leave them a world obscene.

Love Requires Relationship
How love dies:
When selfishness stabs it repeatedly
When betrayal bares ugly baby twins: Fear and Doubt
When truth is incessantly violated by a violent violator
Lies kill love quicker than Jaws devoured the flesh of a hundred victims
Crooked hearts fuck up tender hearts
Everything must die for anything to matter
And thus, lost love is found
Better to have been found than to stay perpetually lost
Independence kills love;
Love dies at the hand of lovers committing a million acts of independence
Love requires relationship:
To deny love of such, is to put your lover’s soul into an eternal state of spiritual anorexia
Love dies from careless lies whispered in the dark
Love dies when you unravel its mystery…

LIGHT BEINGS
She’s the pebble that reflects the sun’s warm rays
She’s the paper he jots down all of his pent up frustrations upon
She’s the pen through which all of his hazy dreams ooze unto the blank lines of his journal
She’s the cracked pavement, a stage his shadow dances on, proving he is a being of light
He’s the wind who caresses the chimes, so her soul can sing when under duress
He’s the ray of light that escapes her heavily draped windows on the darkest, coldest of nights
He’s the anchor that grounds her storm tossed soul, keeping her from shipwreck
They’re each other’s: Pebble
Paper
Pen
Cracked pavement
Chime
Ray of light
Anchor
Together they ride the turbulent ocean waves
They are each other’s life raft, life saver, light house and final destination
