What A Way To Live
There is too much anger in the world
I believe that most of it consists of
People being afraid of what's different
But we are all the same
The color of my skin
Or the way I choose to worship and love
Should be no concern to you
As those things about you
Are not or will never be a concern of mine
I am human
They should have that on an application
Where am I from
Planet earth and yourself
I bleed red just like you
I know who I am
Do you know who you are?
If everyone minded there own business
We would be better off
No government or being is more superior
Even though they like to think so
You can't force your ways on someone else
My way of life isn't civilized to you
Then don't come to my civilization
You don't like my food then don't eat it
I don't make you look at me
With those stares of hatred
Keep on walking
I may not like what you are doing
Or how you live
But I won't go to you else's
And force you to live like me
The world is coming to an end
We continue to kill each other
Because you worship a different god than I
What a way to live
What a way to live
What a way to live

Poetry: Humanity

Crawling together, learning to walk
Communication evolves with words to talk
Tapping the arm and nodding the head
The planet
by Ted Onulak
I have met many travelers
On my winding way
Finding common destinations
Or other roads to stray
At times we share each other's
A trip through our cosmos
A visionary am I
Looking out over our galaxy
Seeing through my mind’s eye.
Pain, war, bloodshed
Casting My Net
I cast my net of anger;
it returned full of bile.
I cast my net of gossip;
it returned full of self-loathing.
I

Humanity
Born as a gift of nature
Opened by
The souls
Of charitable heavens
Humanity is in
Every soul
Which may open
In thoughts
