You can make it
We all can make it
It's in the seconds,
The minutes,
...
Sometimes, it's better not to speak
Than to be judged for your words.
Excuse me for not believing in fairies,
I was raised by this dirt
...
Up on this mountain,
A clear fountain
Distills water.
...
Tribes chanted of the heavens
Kings called out to themselves
Governments learned their lessons
Religion rules us all
...
Did I ever rant about my Lucky Bamboo plant?
Lucky, of course, because it needs no land.
The world is scant, although a sycophant,
And this beauty needs not a hand.
...
These wheels spin
To stares engulfing grins.
No one wants this thing;
The blatant rush drives patience thin.
...
Our windows to the outside world
See all there is to be—
How many a man and woman fold
Their souls into inhumanity.
...
Sometimes, I feel like a toy.
No, not a real boy.
Joy comes through me
Until I'm broken.
...
You and I are never going to be the same.
People, like the seasons, change.
Could it be that treason's fame
Is through collective, not individual, gain?
...
