time passes by
and people move on
living lives that never cease moving forward
no backwards steps
just a one way ticket to the next step of their life
not many want to recognize this
even though they all live it
ignoring the facts of life,
gives so much freedom
lifts so much pressure
no fear of the future forcing itself upon them
no predictions necessary
just a present time and place to focus the mind on
finally the freedom to plan the future
even though there is no guarantee of what will come
daily routines done for a time
just the time of the present to relax in
and the quiet of reminiscence to calm them
embrace the idea that everything comes in time
but only live in the time that has already come
don't focus on what might come
that is unnecessary
they'll find they're own future
and they will embrace it

Successes and Slip-ups
Celebration for a graduation
Punishment for a mistake
We love to live in success, and spotlights;
And hate to be seen as failures
Which causes a question
Why don't we always try our hardest?
Constantly beating ourselves up
Just because we didn't do something right
does it seem right,
to be so harsh on ones self?
We may not always be able to try again
But can't we try new ideas and learn?
Perhaps we deserve what we do to ourselves
Perhaps we feel victimized by others
But our successes make us so happy
They are achievements that we did
Why should all those bad thoughts and failures weigh us down?
Forget them they don't make you feel good
Just think of all the people who are proud of you for what went right
Think about what you've done to make yourself happy
if the lives of people are good then they are successful
then they can proceed with more successes

The Starved and Underused Word spelled J.O.Y.
A voice,
It's calling through the darkness
Faintly, weak
Desperate for a response
Growing more frantic
Still a subtle cry though
Drowned out by boisterous voices
The liars of troubled times
Making an attempt to bury the starved one
No, it will not stop
This voice will be heard
No matter how long it takes
No matter how strong or weak it is
As determination grows
The pace of time slows
Sounds from everywhere but this voice become muffled
A slowly gaining courage lifts this voice of piteous longing up
Showing a vividly clear and powder blue sky
This ragged hoarse crying...
These boisterous yells attempt to continue
Giving all their strength to silence a scarred, lame word
A word that despite its ragged disposition, brings beauty
And puts a smile on the faces of all who hear it
Joy...

The Window to Life
The hopeful man
The analyst of all that causes fear
It is not to be laughed at
This is known to him
The hopeful man
The compassionate woman
The believer that there is good in all
It is not to be underestimated
She has realized this
The compassionate woman
The carefree child
The loving and unwavering light of innocence
It is to be gazed at in wonder
This is shown
By the carefree child
The wise old man
The proof that a good life can be had
It is to be trusted
This is respected
By the wise old man
For the ages to show
People are the Perfect window
And all we have to do is open our eyes
The analyst of all that causes fear
It is not to be laughed at
This is known to him
The hopeful man
The compassionate woman

The proof that a good life can be had
It is to be trusted
This is respected
By the wise old man
For the ages to show
People are the Perfect window
And all we have to do is open our eyes
What is the Soul
It is to be loved
It is something to heed
The talents of man
The greatness of knowledge
The willingness to learn
A desire to know what is right
As well as what is wrong
Intellectually
Morally
To have a sense of morals
Such an important aspect of the separation between animals and people
A knowledge of what we should do and when it should be done
What a large part of life
A part of life that has often gone unrecognized
Humans are said to have souls
If so we must prove this
Through the morals of an individual
Not to take advantage
Not to rush into a misunderstanding
We must prove the existence of a sould
Through compassion
we prove that our soul is good
Through disruption
We prove that our soul has faults
Through murder
We prove that our soul is blackened
But how do we prove that we simply have a soul?
Is it through simply do what we are led to do?
Or is it by doing what we know is right?
Perhaps we prove the existence of a soul through recognizing what we have done wrong
Trying to fix what mistakes that we have made
The soul must show
Someday it's existence must be proven
but until then
let us have faith
It is something to heed
The talents of man
The greatness of knowledge
The willingness to learn
A desire to know what is right

A Success Belongs to Those Who Try
I miss the man who reads a story
I can't find a way to meet the woman who sings
I am too nervous to find the playwright
I cannot fear who I do not know
And I cannot greet the stranger who shy's away
I wish to live
And be the friend, the model, and the student,
Maybe even the teacher
To sit in a dark room
It does not suit the lively men, women, and children
Go out into the world
Be the success you dream of being
You cannot experience
What you don't chase after
And you cannot see
What you let hide from your eyes, mind, and soul
So ask the man desired to be
And find the success meant to be achieved
Find your dreams
Grasp them and don't let go
Don't release the running goal
It will try to escape you
Or it will give in and embrace you
Give yourself chances
And let others chance a her to himself
or a goddess to her own lively heart
what will begin
Will not necessarily relate to what end comes about
I can't find a way to meet the woman who sings

The Media Sucks
I need to get something off of my chest. I am tired of hearing about how the government is constantly doing something wrong, I am tired of hearing about new death tolls in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I am tired of overall hearing about all of the worlds god forsaken strife. It’s starting to piss me off. Actually no all this crap and negativity has pissed me off. I don’t care if it’s good for the media and it makes money and I don’t care if people are trying to make each other realize that there is something wrong with the world. All of this arguing and all of this shit about how the most recent robbery went down is going to head nowhere in the end as it is. I’m sorry if I am being a bit heartless right now but I really need to vent.
One person that I hear about the most often is Obama. The most recent story about him I heard was that he watched an HBO documentary about himself instead of watching election polls. What kind of news is that, who wants to hear about a matter as trivial as what the president watches. Yes he was being irresponsible and not doing his job. Who gives a fuck. I was listening to this on the radio and I couldn’t help but laugh about it. Not because it was funny; but because it was pathetic. I heard this on Rush Limbomb’s XM Radio station; a vastly conservative man who has to prey upon the supposed stupidity of every democratic politician out there.
Leave the personal life of a pathetic president alone, he can get himself impeached if he wants or he can step up and do his job. But he still has the freedom to make those choices. Seems to me like it’s not the President who is driving this country towards communism but the idiots whom won’t let him lead the nation as he deems fit. He obviously had to know something to make to presidency so lets let him show us what knowledge got him there, instead of making assumptions about how much of a jerk and a narcissist people consider him to be.
I don’t even know why I am saying all this, I doubt that any of it will sink in. all I can do is hope that at least some of the media will understand that what they talk about doesn’t need to be heard. What needs to be heard are solutions to problems that are current and on the front lines of the too do list our country has amassed. I am seventeen short years old, not to mention that most kids I talk to are noticing that the media as well as the public community are becoming more and more dependent on the pathetic, derogatory, malicious stories that continue to waste our time. I could care less about how someone most recently tried to rob a gas station and failed. It was stupid of them to have made the attempt but it’s even dumber that we would take an interest in their sad little attempt.
It’s like being in a reality television show. The people act like they are all tough and better than each other and then guess what happens. A teeter totter like motion starts to occur with the whole I’m better than you shit. It’s really getting tiresome. I will admit I do have fun with the whole issue and I do take part in the ordeal, but at least I am able to recognize that as the time passes our country is inflating an already over pressurized ego, and its going to pop at some point.
