Poem From Beautiful Soul
'The truth is that...
I AM.
It may be that you
disagree or have an opinion.
AND I will remind you of mine.
You can be and do whatever...
And so can I.
By the way...Just because
You believe you are correct...
And it may be that others agree,
I want you to remember I will ALWAYS
DO, SEE, BELIEVE, AND BE ONLY ME.
Respect isn't a privilege
It's a RIGHT.'
- Astar

After Awakening
A page in the web.
A visit at a club.
A card at my door.
A walk down the street.
Harassed.
Being harassed by "you know who"
Subliminally...
Small souls…
They test my patience.
They test my strength.
They underestimate,
My courage.
My loved ones show concern now
And I do not know how to explain.
I am emotionally exhausted…
Keeping all levels of mentality
Close to a common reality.

Small Minded Culture
Spreads an idea
Proclaiming itself to be
The truth.
An idea in its most
Simplistic form.
Spend all your years in it
And never get the meaning.
Keep questioning what the
Truth might really be.
And while returning to the light
You see life could have been more.
But if you breathe for more air
Returning to the life
That travels in a dark cloud…
You communicate
The message to the blind.
And only hope
It will be seen.

Inevitability
Ahead of the rest.
No other choice
Than to sit and wait.
Watch the pillar collapse.
See the heads of past leaders,
Fly around the bodies of the living…
Of the screaming.
Truth postponed
By the statues of stone.
By their empty promise of hope.
Centuries in the making…
Inevitable trillion dollar ship sinking.
The seas full of blue
Where light shines through…
Will swallow the remains…
For God's words will not
Go in vain.

Living Under
I play with my hair
Seeing no other use for it…
My senses become senseless
Since my life does not depend on them…
My body swallowed by objects
Does not live in love…
But the ones around me,
Do not seem to care.
They seem content.
If only they knew…
A world where all is free.
All are free.
Where the body can become
The mind can evolve
And not conform.
Where the law
Is not studied,
But felt.
For we cannot understand
What we do not feel.

Talk with my Love
I am not sure of how time is given in heaven
But I hope you save some for me.
You have left without touching my skin
And I live knowing I am without.
Looking down on us…
Making same mistakes
Inside the rotations…
This batch of the living
Lives for the preservation of the ugly.
And I do not know how
I can open their eyes…
I thought words would be enough…
But they took them
And claimed them
With spite…
Staying in darkness.
A thought fed to an unhealthy mind,
Does not produce fruit.
That is why, my love
I wait for a better answer.

Yes, you.
If you have a voice
And you choose not to use it
Because it is convenient…
Because your image reflects
A check mark…
A stamp from the small souls
On the surface of your head...
Then please reexamine it
From the inside.
Do not try to further build an image
By visiting a country in the great continent…
The problem is right here, darlings…
As soon as you step on their ground
And play nice…
They can see right through you.
Because you are representing
The small souls that destroyed their mother land.
So stop building a nice image for yourself
Your shiny ego…
And start questioning the root of the pain.

Faith
Mouth full of
Shit.
Your ass sits
And defecates the green.
Stifle the cycle.
The air you breathe
Goes to the ticking of a dying heart.
But the death can be the start
And the start can be the now
Not tomorrow.
There's already been
Too much sorrow.
The loss of our home
The loss of brothers
Sisters
Fathers
Mothers
Enou gh.
These robots that try to protect…
They can't even use rightful dialect.

Freedom
As long as you accept
To be treated this way...
To be enslaved…
They will never grant freedom.
For their hearts are still foolish
And their minds childish…
Just as a child needs to be disciplined
In order to be good,
Small souls are in need of the same.
But spiritual discipline.
Discipline solely of the body,
Brings no wisdom.
Therefore…
When we care for ourselves
And leave cynicism of love behind,
Relearning what it is…
And how it truly feels…
We can reclaim our minds
And demand the freedom to use it.
Demand freedom.

Poetry Book III - Pupil
Iris
You are so beautiful.
Look how detailed you are…
Iris galaxy surrounding the core.
The beauty is not far…
It is not possible to escape…
The beauty you are.
Oppressed Color
Dark layer on top.
Stronger than the light.
Hard to understand for some…
The natural courage.
But do not question what is…
Your dark beauty is not simply beautiful…
It is a gift from natural courage.
