A day in the night of morning sun
Beauty encompasses truth
In the ever living life
Knowledge plays a different tune
In many ways that were never discovered
Living has become a surviving game
Continuing to provide for the loved ones
Has become something of a dangerous fate
It seems questions are never answered
And truth is ensemble
Underneath the wooden halls of
Empty broken down houses
Knowledge lies
Gift for human kind dies
Why have we never looked, there?
Some
Pray on our stupidity
And many program us
To
Never question...
Mind control
Erupted throughout the society
Like a plague
Of leeches
Gun control
Is coming down to the town near you
Do not be afraid
The government will save you
You think?
No!
That is the lies they feed you
Do not worry
Uncle Sam
Will tax you some more
Take your kids from you
And smack you with a lawsuit
For resisting arrest
Funny games
They play
The control you thought you had
Is slowly being taken away
Without you seeing it
Do not be afraid, however
Fear is what they pray on
Things can change
Not any slogan by thy name
Not by changing the government
Or others in power
But ourselves
Can we only then
Understand what we are here for
Our true nature lies in ourselves
The true beauty is LOVE
Not the puppy LOVE
Nor
Infatuation LOVE
But
Love of people, Mother Nature and ourselves

G-M0N3Y - Thank you muchos:) Always welcome:)

Glad you stopped by you have a fantastic blog:)
Leigh - Thank you so much! I appreciate you checking mine.:)
Thanks for the comment on my blog.
Do you really see things in such bleak terms?
Our true nature lies not in ourselves, but in One solitary life...Jesus Christ. He gave His life for you...for me...for all that we might have joy and hope despite the suffering and fear we all have from time to time...some more than others. Is it easy? No way! But trials are how we stretch ourselves and grow. They make us persevere, become stronger, but most of allows God to mold us more into the person and the plan He has for us.
"Truth is ensemble." I love that.
This is great, of course, such a slice of our whirling world.
My favorite line is "It seems questions are never answered" How true is that!
Thanks for coming by my blog and commenting. Cool to "meet" you, Leon!
your last line... now that i'll live by. that and creating a society of free thinkers!!!!!
I hope this isn't true, but I fear it is.
found your website when looking through others, i like this. i hope to visit again and surely won't be disappointed
Dr.John - To be honest, this is how things are. I can provide you with a lot of information that will surely point into the direction my poem led you too. Thank you!
Shannon Jacobyansky- I am not religious, nor do I believe in anything that has to do with religion. I used to be. Now, I am simply searching for knowledge/truth. I haven't found it yet. I am still young, I have a few things on my mind and what I see is what I share here. Thanks for visiting.
Mama Zen- Thank you!;)
Jannie Funster - Thank you and nice to meet you too.
Shadow - Only way to learn about ourselves is to live with our minds in-tacked.
claire p - From what I have seen, it seems like this is where we live. I believe it will continue to get worse.
rahina qh - Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed your stay. Keep coming back.
Too true. Blogland is filled with a rather bleak picture for 2009. We will all have to stand firm and be strong.
''Some
Pray on our stupidity

Never question...''
beautifully expressed Leon and it's the same story all over the world.....Democracy will become just a myth if one's not vigilant...and humans will become automatons..
Mmmm I liked that Leon, admittedly I was thinking of the massacre being waged by Israel/America... but the words wove around that...
Aggie - Thank you!!!
Indyeah- Thanks
A'Jay - Yea, Israel and the massacre going everywhere really.
Do not be afraid, however
Fear is what they pray on
"Things can change
Not any slogan by thy name
Not by changing the government
Or others in power
But ourselves"
This is the moment you describe so well. aloha, Leon-
Cloudia - Thank you so much. Please, come and visit again.
Hey Leon,
I don't think u see things bleak but only as they really are. We don't want more government, but then we want them to fix everything! Can't have it both ways. We see things everyday where we are slowly losing our freedoms, and most everyone seems to busy to notice or care enough to speak out about it. Our country has turned into one that tolerates everything! no one wants to rock the boat or seem "politically incorrect". We must look at reality, and I don't see u as a pessimist , but someone like myself that tries to be a realist. It's a really wonderful poem , very strong, powerful, please continue to write these types of poems, we need them and so will the next generation.
take care,
Julian :)
HOPELESSBELIEVER - Aww, Thank you so much for your wonderful words. Hope you keep checking back.
Hey Leon,
Thanks for visiting my blog. As far as I can tell from your pic, your hair looks cool. I wouldn't worry about it. ;)
I like the love theme of your poem. If we all just love ourselves, each other and the earth we'll be a lot better off.
Nice work!
Suzanne Casamento - Thank you so much! Nah, trust me, the hair has to go:)
