World As Envy

The World As Envy

Look at her berry lipstick and painted manicures

At his football jersey that sort of represented

A capitalistic advertisement that we all know

We are victims of

It's all the wants and needs

Humans seem to have forgotten basic survival skill sets

That we once knew by instinct

As our ability to see that something so basic

As water as vital has vanished from our minds

And I believe that the whole argument of nature versus nurture

Became meaningless because when we look at one another

It is more like looking at your identical twin because really

Everyone's skin is just turning green

My Patched Up Heart

​My Patched Up Heart

My muscles pinched sections of my pale body

And my breathing was a little out of whack,

I zigzagged like a three legged dog.

I marveled at the view as it amazed me to see that people have been climbing

That long and I was just one of many to anyone else it may have been just another

Pile of rocks to climb, For me it was an "I proved you wrong"

Even though the doctors saved my life, they enchained me with limitations

They thought my patched-up heart could handle

I felt my possibilities were endless and I remembered

A compass that does not point to anywhere is neither

Lost nor broken but free.

Humanity At Its' Finest

Being Human

Words have definitions that come with roots,

As people water them to make it grow.

If words had no power,

Their seeds would not sprout.

If words had no power then maybe,

We'd be like any other mammal and perhaps the earth

Would be better off if words had no power.

Wars would be purely based on survival,

Rather than different interpretations of the bible,

Being hurt by a word does not make you weak but human.
