Brutality and death Defines the theatre of war, And within this there seems no laws, Innocent people killed By trained professional soldiers, Who knew better and what they did Killing in their beds, Father’s, brothers and kids, In the theatre of war Life becomes so cheap, Destroying lives of the defensless And against the weak,…

Those with access to wealth And those who are seen as academic, Don’t like those they perceive Of having access to voice their views, It’s just like how they keep the poor From accessing universities, Those of the financial clout think the poor are a disease, How dare they think to have opinions Or to…

Respect others And respect yourself, Don’t be dragged down Into that toxic well, Act with dignity Show some class, Let all forms of anger Just drift past, Don’t react to others taunts Rather stand up and be a vaunt, To those of good character Of style, character and class, The opportunities for a good soul…

I live by spiritual inspiration I have mindful aspirations, I seek a healthy mind and body Because that’s what makes me happy, I’ve no desire for drama Or toxicity in my life, I can’t stand the thought of chaos Constantly invading my mind, I’ve no will for anger and hate That’s not me, do you…
