Walk Away

Walk away from anger,
walk away from strife
Don't let them entertain you
or dominate your life.
Anger turns to hatred
and hatred leads to death
let us live as neighbors
unto our dying breath.

Walk away from darkness
walk away from hate
You alone can change your future
You alone decide your fate.


Walk away from jealousy
walk away from lies
Don't listen to their pleading
or heed their moanful cries

Walk away from envy
Walk away from spite
Walk away from darkness
and you will find the light.

Walk away from thievery
Walk away from drugs
Walk away from apathy,
all those careless shrugs.

Walk away from money
which tries to claim your soul
for in the end it's useless
it leaves an empty hole.
All of your possessions
aren't worth any of your friends
They won't be there to comfort you
when your world ends

Walk away from heartlessness
Walk away from greed
Don't shake your head in judgement
borne of edicts and of creed.
When you think you're better
you cannot see what's right
You wander in the darkness
for you have lost your sight.

Walk away from evil,
and evil will not win
You'll find much hope and love
When you walk away from sin.

Unconditional

Don't tell me I've potential, or what you want from me Love should be elemental, cause it should always be. Don't love that you could mold me into what you want some day Just in your arms enfold me and tell me it's okay. Don't love me cause I'm weaker, or cause I need you there. Some times I may be meeker, and other times I'll dare. Don't love me if I'm faithful, then hate me if I roam If you love me truly, I'll always come back home.  It's not because you love me that you strike me when I stray You want to be above me, you want to make me stay. Don't tell me it's your duty, don't treat me like a chore Don't say you love my beauty, love what is at my core. How can it be you love me, yet don't know who I am? In a mold you may shove me, and no matter how you cram I won't fit the shape and then I'll break the mold.

In memory of Destiny Lester

The earth revolves without you, To dawn another day The moon still brings the tide And sends him on his way. The night sky stars still twinkle, They have not lost their glow Time marches on, to that same beat As if he didn't know. The spring will bring her flowers All wond'rous to behold And though we may not like it All flowers one day fold. They must make way for autumn When leaves begin to fall Though some leave before others It happens to us all. And winter, although barren And cold beyond belief Must spread her icy fingers To help us through our grief.  So when that babe comes crying And wailing to our arms We openly embrace them Accepting all their charms. We could just mourn the fallen And refuse to heed spring's song But if we close our hearts off We might as well be gone. I'll live life and embrace it Just as you would have done Hard as it is to see past The setting of your sun.

Tragedy

He only seeks the pleasure of the ride little thinks he of costs that he might pay. Off he jaunts, no matter night or day. He thinks he's safe, if luck is on his side. He grants to some the power to destroy, in what might be the blinking of an eye. They look both ways or so they try, But still they cannot see this boy. He rides atop a coffin with two wheels never knowing what may be his fate. If someone doesn't see, it is too late and he or she a priceless treasure steals. All is lost because of a mistake. Too late for something to be done. One didn't see, another one is gone. Tragedy it is, for heaven's sake. So many gather weeping for the life unlived, and all the years this boy had left. So many tears, he left behind a baby and a wife.
