For Something Greater
\n(Birthday Poem)<\/em><\/p>\n

“You’re over analyzing.” She firmly said…
\nKeeping company of a long ago friend
\nA debate with Life. Again, I’m arguing a means to end…
\nBut why argue, language is poorly articulated intent.
\nThat familiar feeling of “I can’t do you anymore.”
\nCounting harm, peace is no charm, when you can’t feel it within,
\nBut wouldn’t quitting be a cowards sin?
\nHeroes pay for done and did.
\nStill, it’s sweet and relentless
\nLife, you’re harsh when remembered
\nNo. it’s not to you, but family for whom my heart is beating.
\nWary travelers proudly breathing, grow restless
\nA proclamation by the stubborn and relentless;
\n“There’s got to be more to all this than this mess!”
\nYet, it can be hard for those wearing a heart and soul
\nLife, overcast by a net of shadows, you feel cold
\nHere it’s easy to get tangled and old
\nBut holding a torch between lost and loosing control
\nA whiter shade of blue, strange sanity is always the uncertain hue
\nLove isn’t helpless, when I see them it’s ridiculous to go.
\nLife unselfish, what do we live for other than selfless love?
\nIt’s more than true, Life, it’s more than you!
\nSo why can’t you be more caring?
\nYour children cry and hurt.
\nMake believe vengeance by someone dumb and daring,
\nWhere is a god that I can point my finger at and curse?
\nGive me something to blame for all that festers and burns
\nA promise of after death revenge is a sweet feeling returned
\n“If god exists I’ll take it out on him, and you know it’s well earned!”
\nUnder impressions that there are not enough cheeks to turn, or flags to burn
\nBut I’m a fool to wave a fist at another fool that hides
\nIn heaven’s castles or in those on Earth
\nWhen I know what empowers both,
\nAnd, I know, it’s a senseless shame,
\nTo point fingers at all but more of the same
\nWhen we all act the similar way in an identical play.
\nThis stage is set with a question mark at the end
\nLife why can’t you be less selfish?
\nWhy are good people poor and needy,
\nAnd the rich so very greedy?
\nWhy are a few in control, and made in the image of the god to whom butchers pray?
\nA man who likes it submissive and his way.
\nBut life, growing pains make me feel I can’t handle another lesson,
\nAnd trying to understand you, I draw too many blanks.
\nIt’s a lacking expression,
\nWhere I recede into sublime regression.
\nFeeling dead, but before I feel any less true,
\nThere’s one thing that should be said;
\nMy heart beats for something greater than you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
