The Desire for Immortality
Your plan is to overcome the world’s desire,But you feel your resolve is not enough. What matters most is not what you think,But how you imagined divinity would come. For every god’s life is a wondrous journey,But when you stray from the sacred path: Your case for faith becomes forsaken,When your mortal fears are undertaken.…

Shalom, my brothers and sisters

We do not protest giving them aid,To ensure that democracy…

No Nukes 2024
Love is but a song we sing—Fear’s the way we die.You can make the mountains ringOr make the angels cry.Though the bird is on the wingAnd you may not know why. Some may come and some may go—We will surely pass.When the One Who left us here,Returns for us at last.We are but a moment’s…

You’re Just What I Needed
Close Enough To Perfect Am I close enough to perfect for you? Even though, nobody appears to be compatible with me. You see, love is not about, whether someone is compatible with you. All that is required, is a willing partner of the opposite sex. Love is about commitment, because it’s really all up to…
