It's To Tolerance The World Needs To Be Steered

We are all differently abled that's a fact of life,
What gives one relief gives another strife,
Among the Earths population the problem is rife,
So why do we view different as weird.

I may have no legs but I can still get around,
What I can manage to some will dumfound,
My abilities in life I will always expound,
I hate the fact I am besmeared.

I may have no arms but I can write with my toes,
Like you I can smell with my beautiful nose,
In life I'll fight through all the highs and the lows,
Without asking to be revered.

I may have no eyes but I can still compete,
You would never see me admit defeat,
As a person I look upon myself as complete,
I'm certainly not to be feared.

Some will say I am out of my mind,
Comments like that are cruel and unkind,
Look inside me and I know you will find,
It's to challenge that humans are geared.

I can do most anything much the same as you,
My aim is to give credit where credit is due,
I will try my best to see any task through,
So I certainly don't need to be jeered.

I can do things you could never achieve,
You can do others I would never believe,
To say I am worthless is just being naïve,
There are those whose minds need to be cleared.

Nobody is perfect that's what makes us unique,
In life we all have our troubles to seek,
Abusing another is a sign you are weak,
It's to each other we should all be endeared.

Being treated like dirt is not what I want,
My disabilities I will never flaunt,
If you're different from me I will not taunt,

Life Teach Me This

this poem takes from me about 2 months to finish it, so please if there is any suggestios please tell me about it and i wanna see your comments. thx and injoy it....

Life teach me this
To be sure of your self it isn’t mean that you are conceited
If you cried it isn’t mean that you have weak heart
If you smile it isn’t mean that you haven’t sad and pain inside you
If you mistake once it isn’t mean that you are bad person

Life teach me this
The most painful thing in life is to be ignored by others
The most painful thing in life is to lose a friend you really love, to earning other one didn’t care about you
The most painful thing in life is when your friends so busy from condolence you especially when you need someone close to upraise your morale
The most painful thing in life when you tell about your deep thoughts and they laughing mockery in your face
The most painful thing in life when you figure out that the only person who care about you is only you

Life teach me this
The most beautiful moments in life when you live in people hearts without lying and deceiving
The most beautiful moments in life when you resist the devil and came back to God and knocking his door after a long absence
The most beautiful moments in life when every one around care about you and helping you to heal your wounds

Life teach me this
Life is cruel when it makes you abandon your only love and all your precious dreams, and judging on you by death when you still alive
Life is cruel when it steel the precious smile, the happiness and the greatest heart, then you hate your life and the world going upside down
Life is cruel when it's turn your days to a dark nights, grief and always crying specially when you used to be amorous to the sun
Life is cruel when misery and pain take a deep place in your life and you know that your happiness moments is so rarely
Life is cruel especially when you start crying and no one hear you, when you start shouting and no one answering you only your echo
Life is cruel when it snatching your soul, emotions and your feelings and replace it by forgetful and separating you from you best friends
Life is cruel when loneliness became your route mate and oppression, wormwood became your best friends

'Life is so cruel when you read these words and you know it's expressing about what inside your heart'
'Life is so cruel when you read these phrases and you know it's just a flash of your life'

SO LIFE TEACH ME THIS

Credit

You want credit for my efforts?
Sure.
That is no problem at all!

If it had not been for your lies
And backstabbing ways...
I doubt if I would have found
The motivation, desire and inspiration,
To lift my head up each day.

With your abilities to spread vicious gossip,
Involving my relatives and 'past' friends
I would not have achieved what I have done.
During those times I was alone,
And in emotional pain...
I have you to thank!
You are responsible,
For bringing God and me closer together!
You have no idea how much that excites me.

And now that my suffering and persistence,
To overcome what you intentionally have done...
To destroy me is behind me now,
I can rejoice that my faith is very strong!
You helped to usher into my life,
A complete confidence...
And peace of mind I now have!
No one can take that away!
I thank you.
And give you all the credit for it!
You have been an absolute blessing!

How Do You Fall In Love

How do you fall in love
How do you say I do
When is the perfect time
To spend the rest of your life
Seasons may come and go
And sometimes it rains and snows
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know
You never know just where it will find you
cause it can come on you so fast
Seems like it takes forever
When you want it so bad
But dont ever take it for granted
cause its more than sowing some seeds
It takes sun and water
So give it what it needs
And thats how you fall in love
Thats when you say I do
Thats when you know its time
To spend the rest of your life
Now seasons may come and go
And sometimes it rains and snows
There will be highs and lows
So only you will know
There will be highs and lows
So only you will know

Sonnet XX: What It Is to Breathe

What it is to breathe and live without life;
How to be pale with anguish, red with fear;
T'have peace abroad, and nought within but strife;
Wish to be present, and yet shun t'appear;
How to be bold far off, and bashful near;
How to think much, and have no words to speak;
To crave redress, yet hold affliction dear;
To have affection strong, a body weak;
Never to find, and evermore to seek;
And seek that which I dare not hope to find;
T'affect this life, and yet this life disleek;
Grateful t'another, to myself unkind:
This cruel knowledge of these contraries,
Delia, my heart hath learn'd out of those eyes.

Life is Too Precious to Lose

Our life on earth is most precious –
A gift of God to all earthlings;
A token of God’s love for us –
And man must live akin to kings!

The life-giver alone has right
To take away the life from us;
Will anyone with good eye-sight
Destroy it on some lame excuse?

The God of life, the living God
Loves each of us with love equal;
He’s kind and gives a just, fair rod,
And made hell for hearts of evil.

While doctors try to save man’s life,
Some try to take away one’s own,
On flimsy reasons with a knife/
By ingesting drugs called poisons.

Some try to hang oneself to death;
They feel that life has turned worthless;
They find, ‘all is not well on earth, ’
And try to end their life priceless!

What foolish act is suicide
Or attempting to take one’s life!
In haste most try to thus decide –
’Midst youngsters, this is turning rife!

And ragging is a cause sometimes
A fresher uses to end life;
And loneliness, old-age at times,
Excess suffering and undue strife!

Whatever be the cause behind,
The act is done in hurried way;
Some plan it very well in mind,
And even choose the hour and day!

To cut the thread of earthly life –
Just fools and weak-willed persons do;
Some cannot face penury, strife,
Life’s challenges, just trifles too!

And some escape from their rash act,
And thank the stars for sparing life;
And vow never to fast react
Again in life, despite much strife.

No doubt, our earthly life has woes;
And some may not manage their grief;
To some, life’s song too sadly goes;
Some end their life for pain’s relief!

Some try to immolate and die;
Some live disfigured, looking weird;
Some escape although death was nigh,
And live by Bible’s every word!

’Tis sad to hear of one’s demise;
The family is shattered fast;
Suicide is a thing unwise,
That puts someone into the past!

The Creator can’t bear to see
Life gone away prematurely;
Even the stars might cry freely
When man attempts to die early!

Our earthly life is quite worthy,
Despite all strife that comes, may be;
The caring God will help surely
To live, a wholesome life truly!

What women want...

You hate me when I'm happy
You hate me when I'm sad
You hate me when I'm calm
And also when I get mad

You hate me when I'm gloomy
You hate me when I'm joking
You hate the men who smoke
And you hate me for not smoking

You hate me when I'm silent
You hate me when I talk
Even before I speak
You act as if I spoke

You hate the way I drive
You hate the way I walk
You hate me when I'm rich
You hate me when I'm broke

You hate me when I laugh
You'll hate me if I cry
Now you hate that I'm alive
You'll hate me when I die

You hate when I appear
You hate it when I hide
You hate me when I'm near
Yet you want me by your side

You hate me coz I'm thin
And you'd hate me if I'm fat
For you think I'm made of tin
I'm your worthless doormat

You're asking me to change
And even if I do
I know I'll find myself
Still not good enough for you

Well, let me tell you baby
A fact that may seem new
I feel, I breathe, I love
We, men, are humans too

So please try to accept me
And forgive me or forget
Don't try to customize me
What you see is what you get

You're still planning to change me
Even though you know you won't
Deep inside you, you're unable
To achieve what women want

Hate That Is Not Mine

I hate the way we live
I hate we have to die
I hate the way you want it to be all over
And suddenly change ur mind
I hate you want to hurt yourself
I hate you always cry
I hate I see myself somewhere deep inside your eyes
I hate that I can relate to you
I hate that you cant see
All the good things in your life
I hate you cant see me
I hate when I look in the mirror
Your the person looking back
I hate that every day seems like someone will attack
I hate that I am weak
I hate that you are hear
I hate that I can't change all the things I fear
I hate that I dont hate you
instead I hate myself
for im the one who can't even remember my true self
I hate I let you into my mind
I hate you let me stop living
I hate that I can't stand up to you and understand what im forgiving
I hate I dont talk to you
I hate its not like it use to be
I hate time that makes me change to what you want to see
I hate you couldnt tell this wasn't all my hate
I take your hate into myself and understand my fate
sometimes I dont understand the hate
and still I continue to see
all the hate deep down inside of you
is now inside of me.

life is mysterious
life is strange
life is complex

Enjoy life

You may deny
But we know the guy
Your loved him as only one and hero
In fact he may have long nose like sparrow

But you have liked
You can't say now you disliked
For the fear of bad opinion
He is best as your companion

You can still search
Find him easily and reach
To know something as how to see
Each other under the shade of tree

This is tender age
One prefers to write on page
Tries to come out of cage
With wings to fly and manage

So you say it is secret affair
But it is not fair
It has become known
There is no use to frown

You are seen moving in arms
That does no damage or harm
You are liked by him and appreciated
He is for you now and closely related

Enjoy the life
Dream about becoming wife
Life shall take you to beautiful end
You just be normal and try to be friend

Beautiful Morning

What a beautiful morning
The best in life is free

What a beautiful morning
Believe me

What a mystery
Though the world's on fire
Yesterday's hard words is still in my head
I feel no despair
No regrets or sorrows
Cause this new day
Makes me dance on air

What a golden day

What a beautiful morning in my life
The best in life is free
I give it all away
And I wonder what more is to come
And this beautiful morning changed my mind
Believe me when I say
The shadows fading out

As the day grows bright
We are turning pages
And we write new chapters of our life
Some are strong and long
Others weak with sorrows
Keep the focus on the rising sun

What a golden day

What a beautiful morning in my life
The best in life is free
I give it all away
And I wonder what more is to come
And this beautiful morning changed my mind
Believe me when I say
Shadows fading out

Believe me - crows will always fly
Believe me - they are only birds
You have to
You have to let go and you will see things in a different light

What a beautiful morning
What a beautiful morning
Believe me

What a beautiful
What a beautiful morning...

Believe me

Mirroring the shades of me

I look into the mirror and
Seeing not only a reflection of myself,
This world or the world daring me to enter
But the person I use to be
The one I'm afraid to be again
The person who would tear your heart apart
And not care
The person that didn't take her education seriously
The type of person that wanted to do
What she wanted to do

I see the person I am
Someone who helps you
No matter what
Even if I'm the one getting kicked
The senior in high school getting ready for graduation
Hovering over the next level of my life
But trying to find a way up out of the middle of the ocean
Everyone calls life in an education box
This is where I will discover
The mouse and tiger inside of me
Don't want to think of separating
Of being alone
And on my own

It's faded but there as I glance into the mirror
I see the person I will be
A person who helps other people
Discover that people with disabilities
Are not so different
I have found my way up the education latter
Helping people
Showing them there is someone that cares
And believes that they can do
Whatever they set their mind too

As if my mind was coming back to me
Out of a dream
My eyes cleared
As I realized I was just
Standing in front of a mirror
Thinking of that red cap and gown again

Duties, Regrets, And Big Upsets

Detrimental to life hardly... its not the end
but after so much regret and pain.. is this life worth it to mend
sit it out and wait
i feel like such things will not abate
this doom this end this death! mental, physical, or spiritual, death is death
Yet i am supposed to hope i breathe not life's last breath
nay i say to you
and i hope one day you may say it too
necessary to follow this job and complete said task
100% mandatory, why do you even need to ask
... maybe because some things are too much
and this thing is such
do you expect me to kill myself in one way
and life in others until i am dead in all
its rife now its rife pain, and ambivalence too plenty of that go away
cant you hear the tone the equivalence of death... maddening how i talk after i fall
maddening too... can you hear it inside your head
well i can... this is no chide... this is no call this isn't a game i feel dead
not yet not yet i hate my job this is no task this is living like a zombie
nay worse like one who is wounded unable to die or to heal! why? !
how...get me out now i regret it all get away no...strike me now! !
it must end these wounds cannot mend
yet wait do i see just a ray
is it possible that all goodness, all kindness, and all light haven't gone away
tis this a sign? tis this a ray of evil... nay tis a ray..... a ray
of hope

Give Thanks!

Give Thanks! For what?
The fact that your alive!
Give thanks for everything,
man, that ain't no jive...
The wonder of it all,
the mystery of life,
The winds that blow,
and cut you like a knife.

The fact that you are healthy,
the fact that your still here;
the love that you possess,
for that, stand up and cheer!

Give thanks for friends and family,
Give thanks for being unique;
and glory in the God above,
of which we all do seek.

Give thanks that there's tommorow,
and be glad that there's today;
Laugh and be yourself,
There isn't any other way.

Most of all, thank God,
In all you say and do;
He's waiting for your praise,
He did it all for me and you.

They Had Nothing To Do With God

All of us have a gift on Earth,
It's up to us to treasure,
life is what it's all about,
Live good and you'll gain pleasure.

Beliefs are what we are taught,
By seeds the adults sow,
This determines our values,
Respect and how we grow.

There's no excuse for fighting,
But at times we must defend,
Most of us dream of world peace,
But on goodwill that would depend.

Human Beings the world over,
Should be living life in peace,
If we could end our conflicts,
Then all the wars would cease.

The problem with us Humans is,
We seem to have a need,
To covet others land and goods,
I think they call it greed.

We also have it preached to us,
Everything is Gods will,
He really must love conflict,
That would be a bitter pill.

No one's ever seen him,
Yet we all think it's right,
We're all the same we use his name,
To justify our fight.

All religions make the claim,
That ''their God'' is supreme,
Is this really based on fact,
Or is it just a dream.

When we fight in wars the world over,
We all shout out his name,
Is that to say in our own way,
That God's the one to blame.

If we say we kill for him,
We use his name in vain,
Does man believe God would say yes,
It's good that you have slain.

When someone dies does he get blamed,
Oh no well that's satirical,
For if they live It's then claimed,
My God, ''it is a miracle''.

I think if he could talk to us,
To this notion he'd object,
For us to claim we kill for him,
Is an ideal he'd reject.

A suicide bomber primed to kill,
Is told, you will die well,
There is no God would take this view,
He'd send him straight to Hell.

So why do we behave this way,
We all have self belief,
This slaughter in the name of God,
Just causes untold grief.

If God would come and speak with us,
I'm sure that he would say,
Though some are mad you're not all bad,
Try not to fight but pray.

Throughout your lives you've never changed,
You fight because you're tribal,
Just take a look at your main book,
The one you call the bible.

It's full of wars and disputes,
The things that I forbade,
Stop blaming me then you will see,
Your troubles are all man made.

I imagine he would also say,
To give yourselves a chance,
Stop slaying, ''in the name of God'',
Then your lives you will enhance.

But Humans wont be happy till,
Our planet's reduced to rubble,
Even then you'll find a cause,
To go and look for trouble.

Then when you all destroy yourselves,
Looking back you'll find it odd,
Your troubles were caused by Humankind,

''They Had Nothing To Do With God''.

Hatrate

I hate you for doing this to me
I hate you for hurting me
I hate you
but I don't want to
I hate myself
I don't know why
I hate this world I'm in it so cruel
I hate the person I am or was
I hate the things I have done
I hate my past
I hate the fact that I did good
I hate you for not believing in me
I hate you for judging me
I hate myself for not believing in myself
For putting myself down for underestimating my power
I hate the fact that I'm gifted
I hate being good sometimes
Cause I feel like I'm wasting my time
But wait!
Why must I hate?
I don't want to hate
I want to forgive and forget
It takes a 24-7 employee to hate
And I can't do that
It's just a burden not worthy of carrying

My Life Through His Eyes

The world we live in.
Is so full of lies.
The bad things we do.
We rationalize.

It's all condemnation.
Instead of conviction.
The truths of the world.
Become our contradictions.

We embrace the bad.
Push away what is good.
We do what we want.
Rather than what we should.

Two wrongs make a right.
Revenge served up cold.
The devil grabs tight.
We can't break his hold.

So we do what seems easy.
Not what is right.
It's a steep uphill battle.
So we give up the fight.

Don't look up for help.
Keep your eyes down below.
The devil reminds us.
To make us feel low.

I challenge my brothers,
And my sisters too.
To turn your old life.
Into something brand new.

For He will convict us.
And make us complete.
His glorious victory.
Is Satan's defeat.

He'll show us the truth.
Turn what's dark into light.
What once made us blind.
Will give us new sight.

The things that seemed hopeless.
Will be within reach.
The cloth that was soiled.
Now whitened with bleach.

So what's there to lose?
A life filled with pain?
He'll show you you never.
Have to feel it again.

I speak from experience.
I walked down the path.
My life of my sins.
Was my life of His wrath.

So I asked Him to help me.
And that's just what He did.
The lies that I lived in.
Became the truths of His bid.

He's made my life easy.
Even when things are tough.
The greatest of sailors.
Learn on seas that are rough.

For my father knows best.
He's the author of life.
He will give abundance.
To a world full of strife.

Don't live in denial.
His truths are not lies.
But you'll never know this.
Until you see through His eyes.

Explain

Explain...
If one with 'good' credit,
Is still paying on debts.
Why is one without any debts at all,
Considered a credit risk?
Or can not achieve a credit rating!
And the one with debts...
Is pursued to go even further in it?
Or at best,
Has a low credit standing!
BUT...
Can achieve even 'more' credit,
IF debts are kept at a minimal amount!
Explain...
The one who can not make a bill payment at all,
Is sought to make 'arrangements'!
And 'this' is a way of life that's loved?

Leaving those unemployed who lose benefits,
To lower unemployment statistics...
Even though they can not find jobs!
And those hopping the fence illegally,
Without documentation
No vested interest.
No signs of reading, writing, speaking
OR understanding the language...
Are offered retirement packages,
WITH health coverage!

And they wonder 'why' wild animals
Are leaving the forest in droves!
Many are seen escorting their young,
To soften the hardest of hearts!
'Look...
There's a wolf attacking our pet dog,
In the backyard!
But...
Aren't those eyes just adorable? '

Explain!
