When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.

Sacrificed
I have sacrificed
every good intention in my life
just to make you happy
and if the bullets hit the targets
we fall
i hope your happy
sacrifice, sacrifice
Brush my cheeks, slowly
with your lips, ghostly
too little show of effection
scared it will radar some detection
I wrap my arms around your waist, slowly
cant let you go the thoughts, ghostly
I have sacrificed
every good intention in my life
just to make you happy
and if the bullets hit the targets
we fall
i hope your happy
sacrifice, sacrifice

I Wanted To Write A Poem For Israel
I wanted to write a poem for Israel-
There has been so much here-
So many stories of dedication and sacrifice
So many tales of wanderings and coming home-
I wanted to tell the stories of some of these people
I could not do this properly
I was not good enough –
Israel is so many dreams and miracles
So much struggle and sacrifice
So much greatness amidst all the pettiness –
It is too much for anyone to tell-
Once we had great prophets and poets
Other writers may approach them
I cannot-
I wanted to write a poem for Israel
I was not good enough.

Who feels no ills, should, therefore, fear them; and when fortune smiles, be doubly cautious, lest destruction come remorseless on him, and he fall unpitied.
Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

The Logic Error
Sitting, hating, waiting, aching,
pushing to be pulled, working to be destroyed,
walking forward and being pulled backwards,
a mental struggle between good and evil,
the sarcasm bites like a spider injecting poision,
slow, weak, tired, scared,
i fall, and try to pull together my strength,
to pull myself to the doorway,
the floor begins to shift and wheel me backwards,
but the struggle continues,
my legs no longer work, and i have no strength,
yet i keep up with the struggle,
it feeds off of giving up, it feeds off of fear,
but i believe im stronger than that,
I believe i can overcome,
i hope this time im right,
before i maybe exhausted.

Sacrifice Yourself
Some days he feels so empty
Just a talking head
Married to a klingon
Who could cream him in the press
God could detonate him
Gods the one we pick to curse us
And 25 years pass him
Like an evening at the circus
Dont sacrifice yourself
Dont sacrifice yourself
Surprise yourself
Dont sacrifice yourself
Dont sacrifice yourself
Dont sacrifice yourself
There it is, the look, the winner you
Once talked of being
Give her one last kiss and
Dive right out the window screaming
No truth decent, it was summer from the waist down
She blew the troops right off your feet
She tells you shes gods grammy
Dont sacrifice yourself
Dont sacrifice yourself
Surprise yourself
Dont sacrifice yourself
Dont sacrifice yourself
Dont sacrifice yourself
Her, the only game in town, a queen of competence
Blind in front of mirrors, proving nothings says a lot
Wham bam thank you charlie
Vanity is all
You wander lonely to the scene
A crawling up the walls
Dont sacrifice yourself

Sonnet- Things Change In Life
The more we climb, the more we leave behind;
To gain virtues, we must give up vices;
Each stage, we must maintain our peace of mind;
Good deeds, more temptations sure entices.
The more we climb, the fear of fall is more;
So, reinforce yourself at every stage;
Effort is more to open heavier door;
Sometimes, life's challenges, we must engage.
Sans sacrifice, great feats can't be achieved;
Sans risks and challenges, we can't do things;
Sans analgesics, pain can't be relieved;
Sans struggle, Life not much advancement brings.
The state of mind must change from woe to joy;
We ought to change some day to man from boy.

I think all good writing is a struggle. To write as well as you feel you can has to be a struggle, almost by definition, because you could always improve.

Destination Zero
And after many hours, we don't know where we're going
I fear it's destination zero
And it's so hard to please you, to say the words that ease you
But I will always go my own way..
This was already know'n, but never really show'n
I know it's destination zero
But have you really tried?
I know that I was out, but now I'm falling even harder..
And you fall and you cry and you want me to die
Everything comes down on me
Despite of this you look so good to me
And you fall and you cry and you want me to die
Everything comes down on me
Despite of this you look so good to me
wave me goodbye
save me tonight
take me away
just turn me around
And you fall and you cry and you want me today
Everything comes down on me
Dispied of this you look so good to me
And you fall and you cry and you want me today
Everything comes down on me
Dispied of this you look so good to me
Good to me..
Good to me..

Struggles
Is the struggle what it is?
Is it my own struggle to begin?
What do i struggle to obtain,
As I learn from those in pain?
What is this pain, I hear and see,
Could it be another, who sturggles to see?
Again, I ask what struggle is this,
That stirs my soul to NEVER quit?

The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.
