This life chaotic

Surviving hell to grasp at heaven

This life chaotic

hypnotic

energy rushes

gushes all around me.

A sea of endless particles of pain

I look for the sunshine within the rain

the rainbows light

all fight leaves me

but I won’t give into its spite

the hate breathes

makes you believe

In humanities downfall

It’s a tall order

living this life in the borders of strife

where there’s no passport to any heaven

or any country in that region

the engine.

The cogs of the machine

have us enslaved

even Lucifer when he stood up to God

was thrown down and fell

into Hell.

This life is pernicious cruel and harsh

most kindness is given by hard graft

and the silence is sometimes the only thing

that makes us less daft

for in speaking harsh words are sprayed

like bullets across the page

or in our ears

giving us fear and tears

that scar our sanity

in this reality

where we study someone’s psyche

but not its creator the hater who crafted their malice and spite

and if we don’t realise that they in turn were also formed from people who didn’t always give a fuck

and told them their so called inner truth

Just to toughen them up,

and yet they didn’t water them with love

or feed them with grace

they deliberately chastised their minds

with words that were unkind

just to make them their clones

the worker unquestioning drones

You shouldn’t base your life

on the ideals and ideas

of people who gave way to fears

and insecurities

give your life to making yourself you.

A loving kind person a shining beacon a colourful hue.

    Boom. This one hits solidly. Excellent ideas. Are you still writing Daniel? Seems many haven’t for a while, including myself. Only reading pieces a bit more again this week.
