LOST CHILD

Where will children play?

All this technology

we have placed in their hands,

No more rainbows or

smiley face drawing's,

their little fingers

upon marshmallow

clouds. They used to play

in dirt with marbles but

that's history. The

parents both work to give

them food for their stomachs

and a roof to keep their heads

dry but who helps their minds

grow? They are now watched

over by nice shiny flat screens.

A parent's love and kisses become

hugs from the TV or computer

Teddy bears, dolls and

little racing cars forgotten

in a dusty corner of their closets.

CRIMSON FAITH

Losing my faith

In all of humanity

Shedding of blood

Sowing of hatred

between races

Creating barriers

instead of bonds

for a better world

Things are valued

People devalued

Our blood is all

crimson in color

our beautiful skin

of many shades

We need to spread

seeds of kindness

not more of hate.

Joining forces,

building bridges

instead of walls

We are together

in this world

We are destroying it

by beliefs and hatred

Enough fallen Angel's

without any fault

Stop the hate and

spread peace and love.

HOLDING ON

I've been lost in my own darkness,

I've touched the deepest abyss...

feeling like I'm drowning in my own tears.

My heart was in darkness,

like a caterpillar in its cocoon...

searching for a little bit of light to escape,

and I've found it now...

I'll hold onto this rope stronger and tighter,

no matter if my hands bleed.

I will not fall again.

My broken wings have healed,

the sun now caresses my being,

my time in the darkness it's over...

it's time to soar higher than ever before.
