Freedom-Poem
The Land of the Free,
And a chained slave sighs.
To be as free a bird,
To glide on the wind,
And free of these heavy burdens,
Is a dream every man pursues.
Time only passes for the man,
That is bound by Life.
Of the Stars and Stripes,
That claim to be free.
Only,
Their people are as iron clad a slave.
Truly freedom is nothing more than a passing fantasy,
Man can only be so far apart from Law. 
Freedom is a dream every man pursues,
And a dream it is in the end.
For freedom is never truly there,
For the man bound by Life,
Freedom is only found,
After.

Deception-Poem Soft goes silken sheets, Rustling as they cover up, The hard, unyielding truth. Soft is the pillows, Beckoning for rest. Easy is the way to deception. Water rushes over the silver knife, Washing free the blood, And the water runs red. Snick goes the silver knife, As it returns to its home, Waits for its next victim. Truth, Honor, Honesty, And the scattered pieces of your soul. True is the flash of metal, Deception, The hiding after.

'Aspire to be great,' Said the Holy Book, 'Work to achieve it and you will be great.' He only wanted to be free. 'Suicide is a dishonorable way to leave,' Said the Holy Book, 'It implies selfishness and unwillingness to share with others.' It wasn't going to be so bad. He picked up the knife, gleaming sharp and made the first cut. Blood flowed out like water breaking through a dam. Again and again he sliced. Again and again the sharp edge cut through skin flesh and bone like paper. The knife made a clattering sound on the floor. He says, ...

Time-Poem Children age, Trees grow, The clock ticks ever closer. Time goes faster and slower, Bending Life to it's will. And no one ever notices just how much time passes. Mountains crumble into dust, Seas rise and swallow the Earth. Time continues, Counting towards the End. Time is forever patient, It has existed since the Beginning. And it will only end, At the End But truly, There is no need to despair. Time has not yet arrived there. The children are still young, The trees have yet to grow. The mountains are not dust, And the seas are still low. But beware, Time is ticking, And it has only one place to go. What do you think about this? Comment below!
