Biography of Being

Ever since my childhood I’ve been too much unlike
Other people. I’ve never perceived things the way
They are seen by most others. I do not complain.
For the first time in my life I know I’m insane
But there still is an enormous price I must pay
For the harm that I cause while my mind is on strike.

I cannot get excited about the same things
That would turn on most anyone else without fail.
I’m not sad for the same reasons that others are.
I’ve not felt the same happiness. It’s very far
From that felt by most others in oddest detail.
A victim I have been through my false beginnings.

Everything that I loved I loved all quite alone.
Back when I was a little one loved and cared for
I uncovered for better or worse mysteries
Of existence that nary another one sees.
I know that I am here to experience more
Than the average seeker. My strange life has shown.

From the natural places this earth shows to me
Come the questions and answers that are of essence
To the best of my knowing that all is okay.
This world I am a part of. The part that I play
May seem small but in essence it’s rather immense.
All that I must do now is be happy to be.

Eye Of The Storm

From A Perspective of Peace

In the calm at the center of each person’s soul
In the land of enormous freedoms and the home
Of a broken mixed family fast on the brink
Of the ultimate squabble, one cannot but think
All is caught in a pivotal pointed syndrome
As severe as the dickens. We haven’t been whole.

But compared to what may come, this time is our grace
Period for deciding what has to be done
To repair all the damage and cursed sentiment
For what had been most sacred. The need to prevent
The collapse of democracy for everyone
Is aggravated so by our issues of race.

The vision twenty-twenty is that of the eye
Of the storm in the distance. The time that it takes
‘Til it blows past our consciousness cannot be known.
People exercise free will and act out alone.
Some have taken a big gamble. What are the stakes
When the system of justice is an alibi?

We are crossing a threshold into something new
To our souls and our psyches. The need to worry
Is for those of aggression, contention, and fear.
For the rest of us it remains perfectly clear
That there is no preventing what must come to be.
We have turmoil and subsequent truth to get to.
