  • THE THOUGHTS THAT PROBE ME

    by ERIC

    The thoughts government use to probe me
    Truth to unanswered questions
    But who asks the questions
    If no one has the Cojones
    To approach Kony
    Who can scrutinize
    When a entreaty to caution
    Was never to scribed
    Land of the free
    Looks toward a place
    Where a eulogy is subsided
    Adolescence turned SOLDIER
    Dauntless youth
    Grow prolific before they grow older
    Having to grow up without parents
    Abducted and kept hostage
    But nobody told YOU
    Of this TYRANNY
    Secrets of the rushing waters
    That carry cargo of youth
    Is filled with IMPURITIES
    Of the unexplained truth
    Invisible villains who remain in cahoots
    Disregarding captured fugitives young bodies
    Who scoured the tract searching for REFUGE
    Adept clues
    Pointing to
    What actually happens
    Kony and his sinister practice
    USA decides to remain not tangent
    To the subject
    That is a huge problem
    That should be handled
    Don’t vilify if you can’t justify
    As the world fights eye for an eye
    The world is unable to apprehend because they are blind
    So who can make a conclusion if
    You aren’t aware of the
    Crime
    Starvation
    Uneducated contamination
    Gun smoke pollution
    Adolescent prostitution
    An empire
    And the person who grew it
    The premature and people remain clueless

  • SPIDER

    by DIAMOND

    Spider, spider, I feel you, I do.
    I do understand you.
    How can they judge before they know you?

    Spider, wait ‘cause you’re scared
    When all you want to do is hang.
    Invite other spiders on your strings.

    But they choose to judge you instead of love you.
    To you, it’s mean.
    But to people, you’re mean.

    You’re the furry, creepy thing that makes them scream,
    And when you lay your eggs, they hatch and they spread.
    See, you created a family that will bite on my leg.
    See, sorry, but I fear you.
    You’re a bully, therefore I will never come near you.

  • INTO THE NIGHT

    by PAULA

    Kiss goodbye the bittersweet cries
    There’s nothing left to live for
    I can’t win this endless fight
    I’m building up another door
    Your wish upon a shooting star
    Is wasteful regardless
    Don’t stop by, don’t close your eyes
    We can’t put the past behind us
    No words left to sing in this song
    I’m waiting for you to follow
    There’s nothing worth bringing along
    That I would wake up with tomorrow
    I can’t believe the disbelief
    I’m hungry for salvation
    But I can’t escape the troubled cries
    The needs of a nation
    This is not right
    There’s no love
    No sleep at night
    This is not a proper life
    I’m running away
    Take my hand
    And close your eyes
    I can’t go on
    There are no roads left to walk upon
    I don’t want to die
    But there’s nothing waiting here for me
    So let’s break free
    Into the night

  • WHOAAAH

    by PAULA

    Maybe I should let it all go;
    The cherished tears, the laughs I fake
    Those glamorous smiles of yours were never mine to make.
    It’s like someone took a knife
    And ripped my heart out of my chest.
    You know what?
    Scratch that.
    How can you cut something out of somewhere it never was?
    For, this life-altering organ of mine was in the hands of the best.
    Those strong, calloused hands that entangled with mine kept me safe.
    They held me near, and I pushed them away!
    I was scared what would happen if I stayed,
    Open up again,
    Let you in,
    And allowed my nightmares to come out and play.
    My past changed the way I think.
    My future just doesn’t seem the same.
    How can I move on when my feet are rooted to the place where we first kissed?
    On the sidewalk in the pouring rain.
    I know they say if you truly love someone, let them go.
    If thy come back, keep ‘em.
    If not, they were never truly yours in the first place.
    But, it’s just so damn hard seeing her in your arms,
    And knowing that’s where I should be.
    So, I suppose all that’s left for me to do is sit back and wait patiently.

  • THE WORLD GOES ON

    by ISIAH

    From mutation to evolutions,
    The no thoughts and the thought of
    The world goes on.
    Due to the little change that we brought on.
    I mean who cares about the
    Panic attacks, the global warming climax
    And humanities collapse
    Because the world goes on. And
    All we did was leave a small indentation,
    A bad scar, a bad memory
    Shaping how the earth’s crust forms
    And soon we could move mountains
    And harness the power of thunderous storms.
    But that’s in the future and, even still, the world goes on.
    And don’t get me wrong, don’t get it twisted.
    We did good things too, but
    We throw them away like we didn’t even miss it.
    Because its easy to get bored easily,
    So we build new toys to give us happiness
    Let’s reminisce, no stop reminiscing
    If I did this I did that
    Because really we’re just scared of success
    No one’s scared of the future; we’re scared of the present.
    But the world goes on,
    And this is how we live it,
    This is how we see it, touch it, smell it, cuddle it,
    And still the world goes on,
    And no matter what we do,
    It will never stop turning.
