I came here expecting competitions

"How hard can it be?"

Then I saw lots of wonderful literature

"This is pretty cool actually"

You guys are pretty cool you know

"I've put you all in a poem!"

So even if I don't win any cash or competition

"Here I am, appreciation showin'!"

Thanks guys. X

Independence is a lie. No man is an island, but Man is parochial. He wants. Always. 

Independence is a concept sold to us by our sophistic masters so that we can wave our flags, eat our bread, be entertained by our circuses. Man will build nations, so he has followers to perpetuate God in His image. Do not be tricked by the humble, for, they will inherit the earth - only to transform into their hypocritical masters!

 Independence is saying 'we are against them'. It is a nefarious continuation of divide and rule. If man's communities become too convivial, too cooperative, on the verge of blurring the barriers between 'us and them', it's time for Independence! Our masters tell us: "Fight for Independence! Destroy your fellow man on account of his arbitrary differences due to accident of birth! Fight for independence to be ruled by me, not them! My bread is more fresh! My circus has more animals!" 

We welcome, you, alien invaders, to be our new rulers, to harbour co-dependance. We have repeated our history over and over. We know it yet we don't change it, for we are too long infected. We kill, rape, lie and dishonour one another on the account of the sins of our fathers. Rule us, alien overlords - rule humanely - but not as humans do! Help us rebuild Babel through aggressive peace, longevity in life and permanent love for one another, everlasting. Save our planet, save us from the lie of independence! 

My mind expands outward;

Through time and space until I'm

At the very beginning of it all

Life

And I begin to wonder if our lives matter

Or to what purpose we serve

The waves crashing onto one another

Frightens me, but comforts too.

I stare blankly towards the horizon

As I listen intently at the sweet symphony that surrounds me

And I am at one with the universe and all that call it home

My crush texted me today.

It sounds silly but my heart was pounding and I couldn't help but smile.

He said "long time no talk!"

And I spent what felt like an eternity trying to find the right words to say.

He told me he broke up with his girlfriend, and so selfishly I prayed he would type how much he loves me.

Rhythm born in the heart

Conceived and birthed like a child

Although I’m scared

Yet I can’t kill the dream;

I will embrace the challenge

In the womb I will take care of it

And when I conceive him

I will be responsible for him,

My child that keeps me on my feet

I move and balance it

Even with the pain

At his call

My feet still moves

I’d break my back for him

I fight for him!

He has become my

Passion and my love

I live for him!

Dear Lord, give me

Strength to take care

Of him

Till he is grown

And ready to be shown

To the world

I can’t kill the dream!

I’m brave to live for him

And pass him on, to the world

Oh now he doesn’t belong to

Me alone, he belongs to you all

Welcome to our showcase

And i know i will be so proud that

I did not kill this dream!
