Poetry Post 149

Confrontation
Don't ask stupid questions assuming certain replies
I know underneath suspicion lies
Don't give me those damning eyes
You ask as if I did it behind your back
You are not aware of every fact
If negative assumptions are wrong you are provoking an attack
You give me no trust or understanding
You're just interrogating and demanding
Assuming I act under handing

Vanity
Years of public schools and college
Has not once increased my knowledge
I've fallen in and out of lust
Finding there is no one I can trust
Many places I go but can never find
A place to unwind
A little bit of peace of mind
I've given all into what I believe
But vanity is all I achieve
I lost the beauty of youth
I lost the innocence of truth
All things tangible will rot and decay
So I'll just wait another day
Watching myself fade away

Heart And Mind
Heart and Mind wander infinite places
Roaming vacant spaces
Though both travel as a nomad
Mind is content at travel while Heart is sad
Mind is only happy when it can change its climate
While Heart wanders worrying of an unfound mate
Mind wander simply to roam
While Heart hunts for a humble home
But both should be nurtured according to their own
So that maturity is sure to be grown
For nothing is sadder than minds set in their way
While hearts go out and play

Good Conquers Evil
Man is temporal but humanity is immortal
Humanity is science the soul is just a portal
Our humanity is made in God's eternal image
Even if sin causes our spirit mortal damage
Something of every man lives on in the memory of righteousness and truth
Something greater than our external knowledge shows the proof
As long as you choose to become something more than yourself
You'll find with love, wisdom, justice, and power there is always more always something else
Humanity cannot be conquered by a misanthrope society
It is rediscovered by each man's search for moral comradery
And the search for this communal ideology will never end
As truth and trust are as essential as the friend

Anxiety Depression Sin
Circumstance frustration sin
It is a battle I can't win
With guilt and loathing the cycle starts again
A casualty of the bodily war within
The desire causes anxiety
Enslaving my sanity
Then the act causes depression
Ensuring another transgression

Eternal Glory Fading Life
God's glory stands everywhere for always and all to see
But we have no appreciation because we are temporary
What is tomorrow's sunrise to someone dead tonight
We alone live in a moment of darkness void of light
The proof of divinity is always everywhere
But sick and dying we just wonder if God does care
Left dying by our inventions we are our worst nightmare
Except for the fear that God is or is not there

Wasted Love
You take what was mine and spit in my eye
You altered my will as you let me die
When greed and love meet someone's bound to cry
Greed wants all and takes all, love wants one and never achieves at any try
I treated you like perfection
I gave you protection
I gave you affection
You were my parasite and treated me like an infection
I was your servant you treated me like a slave
I was your knight you treated me like a knave
You thought I was a coward although you knew I was brave
Still loving you after all that I gave

Truest Love
You make my confidence grow
More than you can ever know
From the affectionate love you show
With your love and trust so pure
You make me feel so sure
That there's nothing I can't endure
I never thought I'd find a mate for my soul
I never thought I'd find the one to make me feel whole
I never thought I'd feel so under control

All My Crushes End
I am sick of being a neurotic and obsessive lover boy
I was a sensitive codependent friend
All of the girls just wanted a living toy
That's how all my crushes end
I wanted to be a friend with something more
But to the girls friends and lovers are sold separately
That's why most men have a drinking buddy and a whore
And girls hate the guys they go to see

Test Anxiety
Growing weary and worried
Panicked and hurried
I couldn't pause to think
My mind started to shrink
I can't stop to see if I answered correctly
Time was closing fast on me
I finished far too fast
And I couldn't have passed
Now I'm stuck with my low score
And I cannot take any more
Of the disappointed placed upon me
Because the time went so quickly

School Countdown
Ten days left of school deadlines
Nine days left of the teacher that whine
Eight days left of toilsome busywork
Seven days left of the guys who treat me like a jerk
Six days left of waking up at six
Five days left of learning the trainer's tricks
Four days left of exams and tests
Three days left of peers who pest
Two days left of slavery
One day left till I'm finally free
Now I'm at work my school days expired
So when do I get to retire

School Days
Walking through the door into school
Knowing everyone thinks I'm the fool
The children don't learn knowledge but teach hate
Destruction of their own lives is in their fate
The teachers sit there as the kids fight
But if I'm late I get detention that night
I must leave this world of twisted judgment
I must leave the earth if this is how it is meant

World Chaos
Knowledge everywhere but nobody learns
Fear terrorizes society but it's problems are not their concern
Never learning how to love living in fear of hate
Religious doctrine being forced fed but left with no time to meditate
World chaos attacks the family
Then runs rampant in society
But how do you cleanse poisoned fruit
The cure lies in the root

Love Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Confused by lust
Exiled by fear
Bought out by greed
Murdered by hate
Lost, evicted, sold or killed no one is sure
But love doesn't live here anymore

Apathetic World
Politics debating abortion and warfare
There is no sign of diplomacy or health care
Showing a sure sign people don't care
Showing a generation that won't share
Showing mankind won't always be there
Because justice is not represented in our affairs

Natural Vacation
Every day I try to go smoothly along
Keeping in rhythm with a smooth song
Evading conflict making sure my life don't go wrong
Staying out of fights makes me feel strong
There is nothing in the world to be hated
When your mental world is isolated
Pack up your thoughts you wish to contemplate
Tote them off with you to wherever your mind shall relocate

Getting Away
Floating across the calm sea
Nothing here to bother me
Getting away on a journey so grand
Without the worries that are on land
A romantic quiet spot for relaxation
No more signs of complication
Easing the pain
Coming back sane

Stationary Wandering
Stationary wandering
Body's still but my mind's pondering
Sitting all day in the same place
My mind's traveling at a faster pace
Hours in my bed I stay
Going millions of places in a day

Ultimate Passion
If you give me your love I'll give you my life
You can even own my soul if you'll just be my wife
Whatever of mine that you won't break
I'll give it all for you to take
But I'm not asking simply for flesh but for fleshly affection in return
But I won't take anything that you feel I haven't earn
I seek not to have nor vanquish control
But all I need is your love and you can have my soul

Don't Blame
From Savage Natives to Savage Foreigners
We have a million races to blame for our wars
Don't blame the Jew, don't blame the Muslim
The enemy is not in either of them
Don't blame the black or the Mexican
When they're victimized by the Master Plan
Don't blames the teens or the feminists
When there's domestic violence perpetrated by the middle aged sexists
Don't blame the unwed mothers or the gays
Until you look at your selfish ways

Twenty Something Failure
No school, no job, no girlfriend, no wife
In between phases of life
No rights, no privileges, no rites of passage
Nothing changes at all but my age
Still living at home with my parents
When I should be paying rents
No longer their child but a bum client
How am I to become self reliant
