J.Lee Posted April 27, 2005 I cried No where rained I rejoiced no where shined I broke no where pained I felt nothing then I left Nowhere until I was somewhere feeling something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.Lee Posted April 29, 2005 Freewrite In 1960 I arose from the ashes Like a phoenix Only to die again In 1970 I arose once more in a day Only to be taken away In 1980 I was revived And this time I tried to live For I was weak So Desperately I clutched The bird of peace Only to let it free In 1990 I shook hands With greed Rubbed bellies With famine I drank the blood Of my dying people As it seeped into my womb In 2000 I watched as waste Were laid to rest At my blue shores I watched as seeds I planted formed roots In different places I became a land of many Faces Faces who are ashamed To be of me To come from me For they have abandoned me Like an unwanted cousin Leaving me alone to die To wither way like A candle lit in the wind And I wonder As I often do wonder If history does repeat itself Will this then be my fate again?

BOB Posted April 30, 2005 Why LOVE when you only end up getting hurt? Why TRUST when you tasted the poison of betrayal? Why BELIEVE when there's lack of faith? Why FIGHT when there will be no victory? Why CARRY the burden when there's no reward? Why the LAUGHTER when there's only sadness? Why FALL sleep when there’s only a nightmare? Why CRY when there is no single drop of tear? Why MARRY when your house wont be a home? Why HOPE when nothing will ever change? Why GIVE when there's nobody that deserves? Why PRAY when you know it won't be answered? Why the JOY when there is only a sorrow? Why not TODAY when there wont be tomorrow? Why PROMISE when no one will keep it? Why WISH for a rain when there's only flood? Why WISH when wishing is forbidden? Why BREATHE when there is no air to inhale? Why the REMORSE when nobody has a clear conscience? Why LIVE when you are only born to die? I am sorry Ms Genius but I had to get that off my chest. Peace, Love & Unity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viewer Discretion Posted May 1, 2005 Love- Because it is better to have loved than never loved at all Trust- your instincts Believe- That anything is possible Fight- For a brighter future because with difficulty ease is not far behind Carry the burden- because good deeds are never gone unnoticed Laugh- Because it makes the heart grow fonder Sleep- Because you know a better day lies ahead Don’t cry- Because nothing is worth your tears Marry- The person who you were destined to marry Hope- Is what makes the hurt more bearable Give- Because there is always someone in need Pray- Because the Lord is all Knowing and hears what you’re saying Joy- In the small things life offers Today-is only 24 hours and tomorrow isn’t far away Never make a promise- Because you don’t know what the future holds Wishing- is the same thing as hoping Wish-God grants you paradise Breathe-Even when the going gets tuff because someone somewhere cares for you Remorse- Because it shows your human Live- life to its fullest "The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind."
