History is full of contradictions and deceit
but by studying it we learn where we went wrong
but more importantly what we did right.
Part of being a human
is the rush of emotions that we experience everyday
from love, excitement and even embarrassment
The beauty is that we aren’t alone in this
and through history
we learn that we are more similar then we are different
I’m just tired of people in power
who see us as pawns
telling us who to love and who to hate.
The truth is
you can’t force someone to see things from your point of view
you can be the most smartest, kindest and considerate person
but people will only relate to you from their perspective,
and how they view themselves
whether that view is healthy or not.
As humans
we live and learn and we also grow.
Who we were yesterday
may not be the same person today
it’s all about changes
and hopefully one for the better.
May our dreams take flight
and soar above all our fears and doubts.
May we see in our lifetimes
some semblance of global harmony and love
a love so strong that it can’t be bought, sold or corrupted
the kind of love you cherish for your loved ones
but encompasses everyone.
I heard her play the saxophone
outside the jazz club
oblivious to her surroundings
she seemed focused only on her music
I felt captivated and enraptured by her blues
I wondered what kind of life she lived
to play such music
that was soft and kind
yet penetrated my soul
Convincing someone that your words holds value
such as trust, faith and love
is a mountain to climb in itself
especially if you lost their trust.
The only remedy it seems
is to start from the beginning
and build from there
and if you are lucky
you can eventually regain
their faith, trust and love.
It might not be like it was before
but hopefully a lesson can be learned
and that some wisdom was gained.
Somethings in life are meant to be shared with everyone
such as joy, friendship,love and dreams
however life is fickle at times
and along the way
there is hate, anger, pride, envy
and this is shared with everyone
even ourselves
the thing is
that as humans we embody all these emotions
and often we prioritize one over the other
and rightfully so
because the sensation of joy is greater
then the agony of pain
but I realized that understanding the source of my pain
gave me clarity and compassion
and a better recognition of the upswing and downswing of life.
Honest and hilarious
oblivious yet aware
a bundle of joy,
and a testament of love.
Always living in the moment,
and seeing things for what they are.
A patient and kind teacher.
My sincere regards to man’s best friend.
