Do you really care?

There are people starving all around the world, winter is actually coming!

In Africa people have to walk for miles to quench their thirst, 

People are worked to their bone, what is this world becoming?

But it’s your life that sucks, your crush didn’t call you first.

People are dying all across the globe and nobody seems to really care.

Discrimination based on skin color or the God you worship has become a fun past time. 

Diseases of origins known and unknown are killing people fast while their love ones stare.

But it’s your life that sucks, how little clothes you have wear is a crime.

The world around us is dying and animal are going extinct!

Ice caps are melting and sea levels are rising, we’re on a living titanic… full speed ahead.

Animals are hunted for fun and trees are being cut down, we’re all being hoodwinked!

The top story of the day though is something some celebrity said, that’s what’s more read.

The enemy hides in plain sight and robs us in broad day light… Illuminati anyone?

We are told what we want to hear by the media and truth is bent to fit their lies.

Everything has a tax and they say it’s all for us but budgets always overrun!

But there’s a new app for your phones and everyone is using it, not downloading it would be unwise.

The world has never been more interconnected but disconnected from reality.

We share the cause of the week and then it’s forgotten like it was never a concern.

The world around us should change while we stand still in non-conformity,

While we sip our Caramel lattes and cold beer and watch the whole world burn.

People are still starving around the world… it’s the hunger games but in real life.

The loved ones of the dead are all still alone balled up in a dark corner curled.

Mother Nature is still crying as she watches us stab her over and over again with a knife.

Did your post really make any difference, did it change the world?

We live in a time where we talk of a tragedy that happens half way across the globe, 

But aren’t willing to help the sick and weak person who lives next door.

All that matters is that other people know that we care and think we’re saints, like the pope.

The truth is we aren’t good people; we’re just like the rest, we don’ know what’s going on any more.

We're all fools!

We're all fools; fools I tell you!
Trying to take the moral high ground and do the right thing in life,
While everyone else does whatever it takes to get what they want.
But we are doing the right thing and that’s all that matters in life.

We're all fools; fools I tell you!
We thrive to make the world a better a place one person at a time,
While the wicked and cunning spend their time gathering their wealth.
But we're making a difference in the world and that’s all that matters in life.

We're all fools; fools I tell you!
We try to loyal to our friends and family and go out on a limb for them,
While most people use their friends and family to satisfy their selfish goals.
But we're good people and that’s all that matters in life.

We're all fools; fools I tell you!
Trying to be the change and fight for everyone’s freedom and rights,
While the narcissistic use parlor tricks to publicize their name.
But we help people and that’s all that matters in life.

We're all fools; fools I tell you!
Trying to do the right thing to show the world that we have dignity and pride,
While most people use shortcuts and take the easy way to the top.
But we have a moral compass and that’s all that matters in life.

We're all fools; fools I tell you!
Minding our own business and trying to live our life without harming anyone,
While the spineless ego maniacs use people to get what they need.
But we treat people well and that’s all that matters in life.

We're all fools; fools I tell you!
Trying to prove our worth and be known for more than just a tight ass and pretty face,
While others use their body shamelessly to stroke their ego’s and get their way.
But we live a charm life and we're humble and that’s all that matters in life.

Simplicity.... Yay or Nay?

Does everything have to be defined or is there a beauty when it’s unsaid?
Is chemistry something visual or is what’s important in our head?
Does our brain stop our heart from feeling our heads with lead?
Or is it our hearts that stop us sounding like we're brain dead?
They say what you don’t know can't hurt you….

Is it really that simple?
Is ignorance the key to bliss?
Or is not knowing what causes the problems?

They say a perfect relationship is when 2 people become one…..
Is that true?
Do both minds have to think alike when they’re together?
Or is it okay they can disagree and have their own free will?

Is going with the flow and living for the day the right way?
Or is being hyper aware and questioning everything okay?
Does putting up with the other person’s flaws make a relationship better?
Or is it correcting each fault and discussing it that makes it much better?

If none of these choices are right or wrong then how do we decide?
In the end, if you really think about it, nobody has all the answers,
There isn’t one solution that’ll fix all our problems.
If it was that simple wouldn’t we all be happy with what we choose?

Unapologetic

I'm sorry I don't meet your standards, I follow my own rules.
I don't crave your approval or want any attention,
I just want my voice to be heard, that's all.
You can believe me if you want, or don't I don't really care.
I will always be myself and I won't apologize.
I don't want to be like anyone else,
I'm the first and last of my kind and I'm happy with that.
I will evolve and be better but my life doesn't revolve around being liked,
Not anymore at least, I'm done believing in such naive things.
I like myself the way I am, thank you very much.
I don't need your two cents telling me what I should do,
Or how to live my life, if I want your input I'll ask for it.
If not keep your big mouth shut, the world doesn't revolve around you.
Stop making everything about yourself and what YOU think is right.
You're not God almighty to decide  so for God sake stop trying,
You aren't perfect and neither am I, so check your self before you wreck yourself.
I might sound harsh and I might sound rude but I'm done living in the shadows.
I'm done pretending to agree to keep the peace, I'm done faking.
This is who am like it or not. This is who I choose to be.
Deal with or you know where the door is... Okay, Peace, Bye!

Welcome to Sri Lanka - The Zack Snyder edition

Welcome to Sri Lanka a land of misinterpretations and assumptions,
People don't really understand what's happening most of the time
So instead of doing research on it they interpret in a way they want to.
Or they make assumptions on what it actually means.

Welcome to Sri Lanka where the truth isn't important,
Reality is boring, lets talk about this instead,
It's way more interesting, scandalous and juicy.
If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth

Welcome to Sri Lanka, a land with heritage and culture,
Heritage is whatever people want it to be, just like culture is,
Culture can be used to shut people up and raise their voice,
As long as its a elderly person says its fine, young people? no way.

Welcome to Sri Lanka, a land where grandma's go to church to gossip.
During church the sermon says love thy neighbor like as yourself,
But as soon as church done they're outside discussing their neighbors wife
As long as its just talking it doesn't hurt I guess

Welcome to Sri Lanka, a land where raising your voice is rude,
Talking behind peoples is fine but confrontation is unheard of,
The proper way to deal with problems isn't face to face,
It's behind their backs with other people.

Welcome to Sri Lanka, a land where girls are only supposed to be seen and not heard.
We've had a female president but girls aren't supposed to speak up,
Their supposed to clean and know how to cook or else nobody will want to marry them.
I guess equal rights isn't really important as long as they marry a nice rich boy.

Welcome to Sri Lanka, a land where getting raped is a girls fault.
Boys will be boys, girls shouldn't walk alone or dress the way they want to,
Consent or showing boys how to be decent human beings isn't an option,
It's always her or her parents fault, they should have know better.

Welcome to Sri Lanka, a land where you're supposed to respect your adults even if it kills you,
They've been on this earth longer than you so they know what's best for you.
If they tell you the sky is neon green, it's neon green, trust them, they know better.
You might not agree with them but you have to do as you're told or you're a bad kid.

Welcome to Sri Lanka, a land where you're not an adult unless you get married.
You could take care of your family, be responsible and educated but all that doesn't matter.
You're unmarried which makes you still a kid until you get hitched.
The day you get married though you suddenly become an adult.

Welcome to Sri Lanka, a land where other people know whats best for you.
They may have no clue what you're going through but they still know whats best for you.
They know the time you should study and the time for you to find a partner.
If you don't agree with them keep your mouth shut and wait men, don't be rude!

Welcome to Sri Lanka where children have to live out their parents dreams and not their own.
A child can have dreams but dreams are all they'll ever be.
Parents know better, they've known you all your life so they know whats good for you.
You might be unhappy doing it, thats fine, as longs their happy they'll call you a good child.

Valentine's Day

They say it's a day for celebrating love in its purest form,
and the courtships blooming all around is the norm
being in love is a wonderful thing, it's a beautiful feeling
it's so powerful that either extreme will have you reeling

Valentine's day, a commercial buffet of chocolate and flowers
cards, dinner for two and romance sprouting all over for hours
candles and hearts decorate the entire world, specials deals all around
couples holding hands and gazing into each others eyes, so profound

But then, there are those who don't get to celebrate love
people who always get hurt when push comes to shove
the ones left nursing broken hearts everywhere all alone
feeling the extreme of love, they wish they'd never known

There are some who feel that love escapes them
looking on in envy of every couple they see before them
there are those who've never experienced love at all
they look on and wonder what it might be like, to fall

Love should be felt and celebrated by all everyday
not just by couples on this lonely February day
so to those who aren't so lucky this valentines morn
here's hoping that someday, your ring of love will be worn

Poison

Reeling from the pain as her fangs pierce his flesh

he was defenseless, his heart a blissful mess

he feels her poison flow through his veins

a sensation inside that soothes like falling rain

The venom that spews from within her soul

is like a captivating high that engulfs him whole

he's a slave to her now, he cannot escape her

the reason he cant let go? even he cannot decipher

Her wish, his every command, his heart hers to spare

people say he's stupid, but for some reason she's beyond compare

her venomous grasp flows through his every blood cell

the poison in his heart, would send any normal person to hell

But for him it's like heaven, he wouldn't let go for anything

because simply he was captured by her smile so enchanting

her beauty was timeless, not only in body but also in spirit

he struggles to free himself and if he did, he couldn't bare it

She is like an angel, but she's also a devil to him

for her, he almost instantly he'd go out on a limb

the battle in his heart continuous and when push comes to shove

he knows that her poison, is nothing but pure love

One Blood

How do you not see that we're all the same?

Doesn't anyone see people as human anymore?

Human beings of flesh and blood, only different by name,

the most dominant species in the world, with absolutely nothing to show

So we all believe in different things, 

different gods, different lifestyles, different rules,

all this hate, what justice does it bring?

Why believe incoherent ramblings preached by ignorant fools?

We don't have to have an education,

to know whats innately wrong,

sadly it isn't a new situation,

it's the same old hateful song

There's all this talk of 'blood' these days,

and funnily it is the very thing that binds us all

it flows through each and everyone in much the same way

if this situation is not defused, it will be our ultimate downfall

Enough of this disgraceful and idiotic behavior

it's going to be the death of us, you're a murderous bunch of misfits

You're just ignorant idiots and you're nobody's savior

you need professional help, and you bloody well know it

We all want the best we can get from life,

We all live under the same sun and moon each day,

We all want to feel the love of our family and of a husband or wife,

To watch our children grow and to see another day

We're one blood, whether Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Christian or Jew, 

We're one blood, whether Black, White, Arab, Latino or Asian

We're one blood, one flesh, one, one species, all of us, not just a few

We're one blood, one heart, one flag, one people and one Nation

Lets not ruin this world further with all this unjust hate

lets move forward together, through the rain of tears that flood 

and not let another war be this countries ill gotten fate

let peace prevail, let hearts unite, for we will always be united by one blood

Can't we all get along?

Old is gold but old stories don’t need to be retold.
We just ended one war, why do we want to start another?
Can’t you see that it’s the same old song playing with a different beat?
We're watching the same movie over and over again, only the actors change.
Why are we trying to alienate ourselves from each other when we’re all the same?
Why are we trying to divide when we’re obviously stronger as one?
We aren’t born with hate; it’s something that we were taught,
Egotistical and selfish people thinking only about only themselves,
Plant the seeds of hate and doubt based on baseless lies in innocent minds,
So that they can mint their money while they watch the rest of the world crash and burn.
The world is our and ours alone, it won’t break unless we break it.
Let’s stop hating and accept we’re different but still the same and live in harmony.
Let’s put our past behind us and as Michael Jackson once said…
“Heal the world; make it a better place, for you and for me, and the entire human race.”
A place we can live in, a place our children can live in without the ugliness of war, fear and hate.
