The Canary

It was just another day
I wanted it to be over
But then I saw you
We met
We talked
We joked
You hugged
And you left

Left and right—I looked
Up and down spinning around like a rubix cube
Struggling to put these pieces back in order
Collecting every bit of that memory of you like a hoarder
My mind began blowing up these thoughts of you as if helium was being pumped into my brain

“Beautiful”, “Caring”, “Compassionate”

I never felt like this before
This euphoria was going to come to an end
And then, my heart began to pound
So fast as if I ate an entire pack of edibles
Suddenly there was numbness everywhere
I couldn’t do anything but succumb to this feeling of despair
My heart pounded harder and harder and faster and faster and faster
As if something was trying to escape

—Sigh—

Being naively optimistic
“Will I experience that moment again?”
And the universe allowed another chance
It was a jubilant moment
You were incredibly sweet
It was the last time we would ever meet
You left. Again.
And then I felt this bubbling energy
As if a magnitude 7 earthquake had erupted inside of me
Permeating throughout my soul
Weaving through every single atom, element, and cell in my body
As if something was trying to escape

—Deep breath—

This isn’t a situation of life or death
It’s going to be okay
Those “thoughts”
Those “feelings”
They were never mine
Something that you and I could never intertwine
My heart started to pulsate like a thousand instruments
As I scream and call for you to come back
So I can be with you once more
And experience that ecstasy one last time
In that period of darkness I heard this bittersweet symphony
I had an epiphany
Not today
Not tomorrow
Maybe in another life
That moment was a wrinkle in time
It’s now inside of this giant blackhole
Those thoughts had evaporated
My soul was invigorated
As if something was trying to escape

Your love, humility, and compassion were the mallets beating on my heart
producing these powerful vibrations
And beautiful sounds
Reverberating over and over like a songbird
Yearning to be heard and anxious to escape out of this cage
The universe had finally listened
And this canary was set free

From The Lens of an Activist

Looking through the lens of an activist
There is a world being obliterated by dictators
From the nature and everything in its existence – to the roots
Is being stripped away
The trees and oxygen are being sucked up by these demons
All they want to see is anger, greed, control and vulnerability
Permeating in the form of tornadoes
Sucking up anything that came in its way

This catastrophe was crushing their internal spirituality
Begging activists to forfeit
Whipping them to collapse and crawl
Making them suffer and forcing them to disbelief the truth

It was inevitable torture
And a fight against deception
Spreading everywhere like an infection

On the other side of this lens
There was this ideal world
Nothing but freedom
An epitome of a peaceful world
Comprising of intellectual figures constructing a bridge
To bring light into the other side of this lens
Rejuvenating those that had been lost and affected by this calamity
Placing a shield of hope and optimism around those who were entrapped
Giving them back the spirit to walk across this bridge of hope and build an army of activists
And preparing to throw this arrow of justice

There will be no more tolerance
There will be no more catastrophes
There will be no more adversity
There will only be diversity
There will only be freedom

This is the lens of an activist

Life of the Amazing Kite

Life is like a kite
You can go up in the air, but not for long
It feels unusual
Because someone is constantly controlling you
They use you until you can no longer fly
All it takes is one stroke
And then you are unable to meet their expectations
 
It’s strange
Because when this kite was chosen
They adored it 
Because it had beautiful colors
And it had the strength to rip through other kites

It can fly high
Up and down
Left and right
You are in full control

Now, with a slight mistake in their perception
It was led into the wrong direction and penetrated by a tree
And hit the ground
Left abandoned
Nowhere to be found

A bird sees it and grabs onto it tightly
Takes it far away

Once again it’s in the air
It’s finally free
It flew further and further away
And passed down to another bird
It will never fall again because this kite now has wings

And a new journey will begin
A new journey will begin

Your Friends

Who is a friend?
Someone who lets you twist and bend
So you can be yourself without any fear
And stretch far into the universe
There are very few people on this Earth that will ever care for you, besides your parents
It’s important for you to acknowledge that they will not be in this world forever
In place, they will send benevolent creatures from heaven
During the difficult times to protect you
Always there during the times of excruciating pain
Saving your life from those harmful stains
 
They never let you down
Because they will always root for you
Their success will be a part of your success
And when they are ready to fly
They will bring you with them

They are your wings
And they will hold onto you through turbulent times

They are your friends
They are your friends

Emotional Ocean

 

Let’s observe the individuals around us
Was this how the world was designed to be?
Our minds were destined to be free  
Like the immaculate waves of the ocean
Spiraling around the sun and emblazoning the life around it

 
The truth is that we are like this ocean
Instead of life it’s filled with negative emotions
Generating waves which can cause massive erosions
Unaware of the colossal destruction this wave can cause
Annihilating the things around us
 
The oceanic waves are heavier than ever before
Soon they will be uncontrollable
We’ll have to shed the light of positivity
And let these negative emotions evaporate
Because the cause of such destruction will not be him, her, or I
It will be us
And it is only up to us to protect each other
Only we can prevent this catastrophe
 
Just by releasing these negative emotions
Just by releasing these negative emotions

End The Struggle

The world could’ve been a better place if we all had equal opportunities.

It’s still not impossible for change to occur, because it takes one humble spirit to show support and help the struggling person beside them and help them strive beyond their capabilities. 

In return, they will build a bridge for thousands of others, creating an army of intellectuals that will eradicate injustice once and for all. 

Everyone should have an equal opportunity.

Did You Ever Wonder?

Did you ever wonder?
Why is one person incompatible with another?
Is there a difference which can’t be accepted amongst each other?
There is no need for superiority
Because you aren’t special in any way
If you think
Then you are nothing but a slab full of condescending thoughts
Believing that unfortunate people can be bought

Did you ever wonder?
Why you were born with intellectual abilities
To create stability in the world
By transmitting your knowledge into someone in need
Who is unable to read

Always remember
Planting one seed will generate hundreds more
All you have to do is remember to water it
Or it will not survive

Don’t Forget, you and I Are the Same

 
It’s not hard to realize when you are acting fake
Twisting my mind like a chocolate shake
Is that the best you can make?
Poisoning my mind with the fake sugar
Not knowing
The sweeter this shake becomes
The more difficult it becomes for me to ingest
And the darker it becomes with your gloomy thoughts 
Next time before you even attempt to offer such admiration
Don’t forget, you and I are the same
 
I might seem sluggish and naive
But those neglecting behaviors will not worsen my personality
It’s not an act of humanity
Knowing I won’t stand up for myself
It’s my humility that gets in the way
Every single time
I was born this way
Don’t forget, you and I are the same
 
 You might be in a better place financially?
 But don’t forget, it matters how rich
And genuine
You are from the inside
You might be the most materialistic person in the world
But I win hearts of gold
Don’t confuse yourself it’s something that isn’t sold
Don’t forget, you and I are the same
 
Your excess pride
Is something you are unable to hide
You will never realize 
That you and I are no different
We were born with nothing
And will leave this world with nothing
Besides the legacy we left behind
You were also born with nothing
And will leave this world with nothing
 
Don’t forget, we will always be the same
We will always be the same

We Can All Smile

It was an early start to the day
I was on my way to school
It really felt as if the day will be boring
Until, this sweet old lady yelled out loud “Good Morning!”
To everyone on the elevator
 
Not only were those 2 words magical
To hear them from an unfamiliar person were totally unimaginable
That’s when I envisioned
We can all smile
 
A smile is contagious
It travels in the speed of light
Placing a smile on everyone
 
We can all smile
We can all smile

Bodacious Beard

My bodacious beard
Is what some people fear
Most of the time it puts me into tears
When I hear
Is he a terrorist?
No! I am an optimist
 
My beard is so gentle
When I comb it
I am constantly aware
That I don’t let a portion of it fall
And have it crawl
Into the dirty surfaces filled with dust
 
But haters are gonna hate, haters are gonna hate!!!
Needlessly debating
Is he a terrorist? Is he harmless?
Well let me tell you,
Historical figures like Karl Marx, Charles Darwin and Jesus Christ also had beards
Am I still different?
Because these constant assumptions won’t camouflage my identity
 
My identity will ripen
Like a white lotus
Strengthening my focus
I am a normal person
With an extraordinary beard
 
– Poetic G
