where 

is that sweet 

  child

    now

ever since 

you cracked 

the innocence

with callused hands

sucked her in

between

tabacco soiled

teeth

and spit her 

out?

she 

comes by

sometimes.

Cost & Worth

I gave my 'best' to her, only for her to find someone's 'satisfactory' to be better than mine. The principle of 'cost' & 'worth' was explained to me that fine day.

No more

No more hating our women 

No more raping our women 

No more beating our women 

No more Cheating on our women 

No more leaving our women in pain

                   No more

Fraud

When temper flairs, don't hurt her

She is a child, no murderer

She looks to you like a god (dess)

But if you abuse, you are a (far) fraud (less).

His Sacrifice

Who are you that He died for you?

Nothing. 

You're just a worthless, dirty, stinking rag. 

Still He chose to die for you.

Does His sacrifice mean nothing to you?

Mentiroso

When you said you liked me,

The smile was real.

The talking was real.

The laughter was real.

The butterflies were real.

The only thing that wasn't real

Was you.

Why do I try to do the right thing?

Not for fairness, not for God, not for country, not for family.  I refuse to be the reason someone else loses their faith in humanity.  I can't shoulder that burden.

Sun

I want to creep in your window

Like sunshine

To brighten your smile

To light up your day

To make you flourish more

So we can be together again

K.j.a.

Alex (Alex’s Lemonade Stand)

Her name was Alex

And she changed the world

Her cancer was incurable

She died at only 8 years old

But she left a legacy

That few of us will
