Human Kind
October 26, 2012A child watches helplessly
As a hunter shoots her pet crow.
What part of that is Human Kind?
A teen is beaten about the head
Until she falls to the ground.
Kicked until she stands.
It then starts over again.
What part of that is Human Kind?
A young woman pleads
For her dog’s life
A rifle is pointed at her head
And she is told
‘Stop crying or I’ll shoot you too”.
What part of that is Human Kind?

Human Kind
Is when a police officer
Could have given a ticket
Towed the truck.
But instead
Leads you out of the dark
From lost back onto the right road.
That is Human Kind.
Human Kind
Is when four young men stop
To give a ride and support
To two young girls
One sobbing, stranded
Somewhere in the mountains
After being kicked out for refusing.
That is Human Kind.
Human Kind
Is when a friend
Wraps their arms around you
As you scream in anguish
Because a loved one has died.
That is Human Kind.
Human Kind
Is when a gentle soul
Helps you pick up the pieces
Of your broken heart
And put it back together.
That is Human Kind.

Be Human Kind.

Try To Judge

And those surrounding, loving you.

Good News Glad
October 19, 2012Good news glad
Right there with
Bad news sad
Doesn’t matter cause
It’s the news you have.
Read it, write it
Say it loud
Bad news sad and
Good news glad.
Spread the word
Take it where you have
Good news glad along
With bad news sad.
That’s right
That’s all
That’s all
You have.

Sadness Comes And Goes
October 15, 2012
Sadness comes
and goes
Strive to feel
The pain
Then let it go.
No use to dwell
And ponder
Just see it
And let it go.
It makes you
No less
It makes you
No more.
It just makes you
The one to love
For evermore.

To Be Proud Of Yourself
October 9, 2012To be proud of yourself.
To be secure in who you are.
That is something worthwhile
And worth striving for.
An accomplishment.
An accomplishment to be proud of.

To Cry Is Human
October 5, 2012
To cry is human.
It shows you care.
To laugh is human.
It shows you have joy.
To anger is human.
It shows you feel.
To remember is human.
It shows you have been.
To die is human.
It shows you have lived.

We Are Here And Most Everywhere
October 2, 2012We are here and most everywhere.
But have we really been here?
Be sure to be present in your life.
It is the only life you have.
