Stardust

You are the one I want to see
You are the one I want to please
You are the one who truly understands me

Shooting star streaking across the night sky
Light glowing from a burning piece of space dust illuminates the mind's eye
We continue to sleep to the night mother's lullaby

You are the one I want to see
You are the one I want to please
You are the one who truly understands me

Meteoroids falling into the atmosphere
A brief trail of light making my dreams crystal clear
Meteorites fallen to the ground
In you a piece of the past is found

You are the one I want to see
You are the one I want to please
You are the one who truly understands me

Stardust fallen from the heavens
Grant me the wisdom learned from your life's lessons
In you I see a future bold and bright
Dreams of what you have seen fill me with delight

You are the one I want to see
You are the one I want to please
You are the one who truly understands me

2017

2017 is finally here
Look at the new horizon, and let go of your FEAR
This is OUR year

WE are many, and they are few
This is why it is clear to me what OUR generation must do

WE must bear the torch of work and discipline
So that WE can improve this world WE live in

There are pivotal points throughout history that write what OUR future will be
WE can wait idly by while the past writes OUR misery
I suggest WE stand up to the call to be OUR best

Look at yourSELF in the mirror
See the force for POSITIVE change standing there
Prepare yourSELF for the challenges WE will face this year

OUR world is on fire
Evil men and women stand at the pyre

Will WE let them turn OUR kingdom to ash?
Or will WE stand up against the injustices of OUR past?

OUR species has the potential to be extraordinary
First we must address the prejudices developed throughout OUR story

The divisiveness of race, religion, and politics caused us to forget WE are inherently the same
WE are ONE people trying to play the same game
The purpose of life until now has been to gain fortune and fame

I think OUR instincts for survival cause US to desire compassion, diversity, and inclusion over  the oppression of OUR people through the classification of groups with terms designed for the purpose of division and separation

Now is OUR time to rise to the challenges OUR people face
This call to action goes out to everyone on OUR planet, not just these American states

WE must stand up for OUR right to chase OUR dreams and passions
WE must fight the desire to accept defeat by living in the shadows cast by previous generations

YOU are STARDUST fallen from the heavens
Never forget this LIFE lesson

WE are children of the stars
Let YOUR light shine through these prison bars

WE do not have to live OUR parent's sorrow
WE can create a better world for TOMORROW

Red Dream


 I stand in a house full of people, and noise.

All around me the chatter, the chaos of multiple conversations, rattles my ears with nonsense

I feel a hand grasp my wrist tightly

A familiar face, one that I wished to never see again, fills my vision with a blind rage

She makes a snide comment about “how good it is to see me”; she laughs at the pain on my contorted face

Anger overwhelms my senses; control over my actions disappears; the base instincts of my inner demon are unleashed upon her

I seize her by the throat, and slam the back of her head against the nearby brick wall

She disappears

Blood drips from the mortar

A man stands before me, mocking my emotionally charged reaction

He warns me of the consequences that will be imposed upon me soon

A door appears in the previously solid brick wall

That voice, who is that speaking to me?

I turn to see a hallway of a highly respected judge

Out of the office at the end of the hallway appears a face I cannot suffer now

Out of the office at the end of the hallway appears a man of extraordinary quality

I am pulled within a meter of his person

Anxiety grips my heart

Anger seizes my mind

He is trying to stop me

I turn to run

Marshall asks, “Where did you learn the Sugar Ray?”

He references a dance that is only familiar to me in this realm

My feet are already moving

“I am going to fuck that dude up.”

His temporary grip on my arm slips away, and he shakes his head in disappointment

I arrive at the wall to meet the gatekeeper

He tells me there is only one way out

With a wave of his hand the wall becomes transparent, revealing the unbelievable world outside

A door slides back and forth on the wall, waiting for a key

“How do I open it? Where is the key?”

Silently he points to the floor

Silently a stairwell appears

I walk hesitantly down thirteen stairs

At the bottom two dark rooms are visible

A clown a meter tall appears in the doorway perpendicular to the stairs

His sharp teeth gnash, and saliva drips from his carnivorous mouth

His claws come out from their hiding spot beneath the skin of his knuckles

Fear is non-existent

I wave the pathetic creature away nonchalantly; I am busy

Nothing appears in the doorway directly in front of me

I inhale deeply and enter the lightless void

Stumbling and tripping I let my feet keep me moving forward

An extremely brief reflection of light on the pitch black ground catches my eye

My hand touches the cold metal of a key

I am free
