We Must Rise

I haven't posted in quite a while. It has turned out to be an unbelievably busy year...

I have, however, been pursuing publishing my poetry. Some of my professors have been helping me in this endeavor. Please feel free to let me know what you think...

One of my latest musings...

This passion burns deep within me.

Rattles my very essence.

As souls are stripped away

By the evils—the demons of this world

It pains me to watch

As the flames rage within me

I cannot—I will not keep silent

When did humanity come to this?

Using another life

For one’s personal pleasure

Destroying another life

For instant gratification

When did this become okay?

This is not what life was meant to be

I am tired of laments, curses,

Against your name for these atrocities

When it is our own wickedness that births this evil

When it is my own self, my pride, my sin

That brings death

You are not the bearer of sorrow

But one of joy and salvation

I cry out—screaming,

Inquiring of when this became okay?

When did we reach this point?

No life is greater than another

How can we be so blind?

I cry—weep for innocent souls

Bought and sold for the price of an animal

This is not okay.

This has never been okay.

This is not the way—

The way of life—

The way of truth

The way that life was meant to be.

Together, we may rise against.

Together we must rise against
