Sunsets and silence

The earth is burning

The sun is dying

Underneath 

the clouds are lying

Promising more rainy days

Ensuring that the moisture stays

But humanity is lost

They'll fight at any cost

The never ending violence 

And I'll never find my silence

love, killing in its natural way

My body sprawled on my bed 

Like a dead man 

shot through the head

My lungs stil breathing

Heart still beating

I'm trying 

to figure out it's meaning

And praying 

that it doesn't break

For after the loss of my head 

My heart is the only thing left to take

You've robbed me of my sanity 

And so I beg you now 

Please leave me my humanity 

I don't care who you think you are

But love 

you'll be the death of me

a daisy and other unimportant things

As a child

I picked flowers

I mean Didn't we all

The boys 

picked flowers for their mothers

the girls 

picked flowers for their hair

But what most of us didn't know 

was the difference between

A flower 

and a weed

To us they were all pretty

Weather they were made by god 

Or a special kind of fertilizer 

Made no difference

Weather the seeds were 

Made by scientists 

Or other flowers 

Also didn't matter

They were all flowers to us 

No matter what our parents told us

To this day 

my favorite flower

Is the daisy

A flower which many mistake

For a weed

It wasn't born to be a weed

It wasn't born to overgrow and overtake

In the way weeds do naturally

It was born to be a flower

But according to some 

Failed miserably 

But still the daisy 

continues to grow

And if I can brighten up someone's world

Then I'm ok with being 

A daisy

I always felt as a child 

that I could become anything

Only I found out that I was born to be 

A daisy

A simple flower 

that doesn't shine bright 

or sell out quickly in greenhouses

But it can tell a story

And if we  

could all become children again
