A sunshine's drop
The bubblegum pop
A flying blade of grass
Happy people in the mass
The people love, the people stroll
No lives are lost, nothing paid at the toll
Everything is well and as it should
The people share and everything is understood
The roads are known
The truth is always shown
Here the dream is a reality
But this reality is a dream
The streaming blood's drop
The harsh guns pop
There is burning grass
Angry people in the mass
The people scream and have no soul
Too many lives are lost and are paid at the toll
Nothing is well or as it should
So many hate, so many are misunderstood
The roads are narrow and unknown
The truth is never really shown
This is our reality

the lives we work to make.
All make
by Kyuzo Smith
You see yourself as a knight in full armor,
Victorious upon the bloodstained battlefield
Hollering out into the world

"The Reflection I See"
As I stand in the bathroom
I gaze into the mirror.
I see flaws, I see bags.
The shadows cascade underneath
