All These Years and We’ve Learned Nothing

We have figured out how to build the biggest and tallest buildings.  How to put a man in space.  We want to figure out how to colonize Mars.  We are trying harder and harder how to get further apart from one another.  When what we need is to get closer together.  We are on this planet for the long haul.  We are all going to be here together.  Whether you like or not. 

What we need is to learn how to get closer together.  I have people message me from across the globe and ask me questions about who I am and what I do.  I thought about this the other day and it was interesting because I have never even met my neighbor.

We are constantly looking to go beyond where we are and yet we haven’t even figured out where we are now.  We are messing up our food source, wars are constant anymore, killings are a normal occurrence on the news.  We worship celebrities that have zero talent and give nothing and we think that’s OK.  Happiness is found in the bottom of a $5,000 handbag.  We will wait in line patiently for weeks to get the new iPhone.  God forbid if a natural disaster occurred, we would kill each other for a sandwich that we would feel is owed to us by the government.

Politicians that we have elected to protect us and do what’s right for humanity are now business men and woman doing what’s right for their bank accounts.  What do we do?  Go to the streets and fight each other.  The ones that we put in office to protect us, have us at each other’s throats.  We are completely blind in the mire.

“If we have no Peace it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” Mother Teresa 

We have learned nothing from each other.  We still look at race, sex, culture and the way people live their own lives as something that is a personal attack on our well being.  We are destroying where we live and getting further away from what really matters.  Us.  Humans.  People.  Instead of learning from it and growing from it. We fear it and seem to be running from it

What will we do if and when we get to Mars?  We will destroy it just as fast if not faster than we destroyed Earth because we learned nothing.

We are not robots with nuts and bolts that can be adjusted to do and think.  We are humans with hearts and souls that bleed and feel.  You want the life for you and your family that everyone deserves for their life and their family.  You are not special.  You are not chosen.  I don’t care about your status and your bank account. We are equal.  We are one race that loves, works and walks this Earth for a short time.  Every man, woman, and child deserve the best of it.

We’re here together folks and we need to learn to work side by side or it’s not going to get better.  Right now it seems like it’s getting worse and it scares the hell out of me.  What scares the hell out of me, even more, is that it doesn’t seem to be scaring anybody else.

God, Chuck Norris or whoever help us all.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

For I chose to befriend the walk that marked the

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness

Childhood Impact: As a child, I felt like no one accepted me for who I was.
