strength from authenticity

appreciation, draft, edit, opportunity, poem, poetry, realizations, rough

If you want to find what is real

If you want to heal

You need to do more than go through the motions

Like some strange form of automation

No, you must be of spontaneous creation

A spiritual magic waits for us to recognize it

As we are it, but we are often separated

By own own methods of skipping ahead

Of not appreciating what we have

more than we realize

"If", dreams, existence, faith, generations, life, millenials, poem, poetry, Rudyard Kipling, selfish, selfless

Leaden steps with laboured breaths as disinterested as an as organism gets

a quandry if one could see

yet you are in too deep and losing sleep

because while you know something about marching on

accepting unfavorable toil doesn’t feel right

you were told you had to work your way up but the fact is you’ve done more than your share and they don’t care

it would be almost easier if you were wrong but despite what society says you aren’t lazy or selfish

if it was a character flaw or something not embellished

our millenial artists exposition of “If” isn’t juvenile

yet school is expensive and we’ve become apprehensive

our debt seems unavoidable just to exist while eating

oh but this is fleeting and

we know it

we have a mighty thirst

only quenched by dreams

only by faith and remembering there’s always more than it seems

when blue moons allign with stars

Ready gym shoe on this starting line

When is the ideal moment gonna arrive?

Waiting for some holy sign

yet what you get is awkward

lacking rhythm and tried

don’t wait for it… just go

eschew the need for full fledged serendipity

as you will find it before it finds you

awake

awake, call to action, message, poem, poetry

If you are awake it is sadly easy to see those

walking around in a stupor, those who just barely breathe

they seem guided by baser impulses

morality based on whatever sells

Remember the saying of not knowing until you try?

Speculate from afar and judgements are questioned

only, there are some things only seen clearly by standing away

by a stark contrast, from night to day

as beings bringing awareness with us we must and i exceedingly stress, must learn from this massive ignorance

is ignorance really bliss?

let’s learn, teach, become wiser

exercise our latent drive to not just survive

Break

My fists are indestructible maces

With martial alacrity they’ll find your faces

I maintain harmony and I do not seek this

But when I strike there’ll be no meekness

Why do I speak of breaking wasted spaces and of

Rearranging features like Tony Jaa’s sneakers

Let me restate, it’s not with hate, bleakly speaking our good need be as strong as the ones who do wrong

One day even the nicest need to rise and sing the heroes song

a natural leader

Tags

leader, leadership, natural, poem, poetry, visionary

rising to the occasions call and every small unobserved detail seems magnified by

you with such a transcedent vision, you with listless ambitions

shining upon the dull with light within of creative beauty

no level of destitute institutionalism

excellence evaporating their “realism”

afflicted affluence

abstract, angst, blog, culture, esoteric, poem, poetry

when and if one becomes enamored by their own subtle stammer

and if the tide will slide and the dead will abide

by the shift of those who thrive on manipulating results

with the least amount of effort and class

no dignity, stoicism mocked

the gun is all but loaded and ready to fire

the situation is dire

we try to diminish by saying its not all afire

the still waves

abstract, abstraction, abstractions, faith, harmony, motion, OCD, poem, silence, stillness, waves, white noise

As the instant washed away from itself

A silence from collective sounds harmonized

White washed noise

Stillness from waves

I almost asked myself aloud

Do we see you when you’re not around?

interesting hurtful bliss

bliss, brooding, good from bad, hurt, idea, optimism, thought

they say for an artist, agony, angst, drama and the bleak

are opportunities for obscenities becoming worthy of show

soft and formable by retrospective introspective
