Untitled
Stand on soapbox made by another’s hand
Pick a social injustice to protest
Awareness will not rule it out
Untitled
What would a painting say if it could speak
What truths are revealed in the hand of a creator
Is there a message to be discovered or a tantrum
Untitled
Injustice carried out by a darkened soul
Victims born to wait for a tragic demise
Candles light the way to bring sorrow together
Untitled
Click to get an instant response
The world awaits your swipe or like
Accelerated expectations conversations depreciate
Untitled
Beacons in the night illuminate hope for change
Gather around the communal flame
Quiet songs of hope are the voices of sorrow’s choir
Untitled
United voices brought together
An otiosity committed to a target of another’s hate
Protesting injustices, the message is for progress and change
Untitled
Aggression for others born from healed wounds
We all get hurt
Choice to break the chain is the cure
Untitled
I never lived my life wounded until I did
Circumstances can take away free will
The cold streets empty fill my days
We play our part on mortal ground
Prepare our soul for what remains unknown
A truth never to be told is the journey’s surprise
Untitled
World conflict tears humanity apart each side to take up arms
Stand strong for all you believe
Hold no resentment for everyone that do not share your view
Untitled
A war-torn landscape irrigated by blood
The new silence of the land hides the history
Honor won by honorable lost no one wins at any cost
Untitled
So few words to say so much chosen carefully by design
The true meaning is a secret of a speaker’s intent
Policies driven from support in the dark
Untitled
Stand for your people on the world stage
In the beginning all decisions were honor-bound
The gears of the real system are all that you found
Untitled
The day is 24 hours long but not available to everyone
What is the quality you put into the time you have
The value of every minute lost shows the true cost once your valuable time is forever lost
