Non Existent

Have you ever realized suddenly that you are alone?
Have you ever come to terms with the fact one day you'll be gone?
Have you ever thought about the fact the world will forget you?
The fact that your great grandchildren will never see or e'en know you?

...

Let's both journey on a mission
With the powers we've been given
Let's hope that the world will listen
Free their souls from this cold prison
Potential legions of soldiers
Wasting away growing older
Let's show them the world is ending
"Open your eyes, stop pretending"
There's no more reason for anger
Put it away on a hanger...

America For You

In the September 18, 1858 debate, Abraham Lincoln said:
I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race

Feeling Down

I see why people run from me
Avoiding me so silently
it's the way I carry myself
Act on impulse, and without stealth
With good intents i make moves
my results do nothing but prove

That I act so irrational
Are my ways set? Is that final?
I hope to change, and I seek help
To curb the rage inside myself
I feel ashamed to show my face
instead display the mask in place

Thoughts Of You

I sit in this wall of silence, only thoughts of you in my mind
Thoughts of you, of the past
Wishing I could be with you, wondering where you are
I laugh with the world, and sit in silence alone
Things are quiet here now, nothing much has changed
The world moves on, as if we never existed, as if you never existed
But I know you exist, and if the world should deny it
At least you live in my mind, in my heart
I sit in this wall of silence, only thoughts of you in my mind
This is my punishment, for being who I am
For following the wrong path, for taking the wide road
i should have waited, waited for you
Now I sit here...in my room... in my world...alone
Things are quiet here now...
