Confucius's Suicide Ransom Note for Hope

Recycled words used out of context
From eyes that differ in taste
Yet, With hypocrisy’s influence
They copy it
For their righteous journeys
Into the depths of unoriginal waste
-
Embrace originality
Innovate yourself
Upon different journeys ahead
Trust your own inner strength
Be one with the positive energy
That flows rebelliously with great stride
-
Drawn like flies
To a scene accustomed to doom
Living inside a rotten apple
The plague of Eden’s strife
Inspired by the intuition
Of the snake’s twisted words

Then comes the eradication
Of different opinions
That were deemed inadmissible
By the court’s Jesters
Crowned kings of their own propaganda
Rulers of their own self serving ways

And the Rat screams out loud
Says the snake wants to eat him
But low and behold
The serpent is truly a vegetarian
But he does not look like them
So who would believe
In something proclaimed as unusual?

This is no sacrilegious statement
No religious scorn here
Just honoring sacred words destroyed
Burnt to the stake their witching hours
Erased from this world
Where their history was eradicated
For a cause paved by tyranny
Passed by mere mortal men

People wonder why people live in misery
People wonder why people are always happy
No matter how much we argue with ourselves
We are in the same world
Trying to adapt with the souls
Of our own and others before and after us

Some are shunned, Some are embraced
The world is still way too young
Still taking baby steps
To the knowledge that is out there
Way beyond our current comprehensions

Yet, I could not have it any other way
Things could get worst, Will probably get worst
But that will make the future better than ever before

We always have to have the bad before the good
That is what makes us stronger every single day
-

We have our own methods
Together to alone
That is something
Even I must always know
-

Be different
But respect others
And where they come from
Even I must learn from that

Out of Place

Dying right now
In mental decay
Thoughts spinning
In a cycle
Of distant delirium

Don’t want to be seen this way
So I hide away
Keeping myself
From sharing this agony

Pathetic I feel
As I hold this knife of emotions
Trying to kill this mind
Slowly but painfully

Crying inside
But outside everything is just fine
I was always a great actor
In this play called life

I don’t need pity
Just dealing with mine alone is pathetic
Dying to get by
In this hope I wish to encounter

I do have strength
Willpower as well
But it tires me out
Making sadder times ahead
But I still get by

Sorry I am not able to stay
Mingle and do my part
But my mind
Is going too fast
For me to comprehend anything

But this won’t last
And all will be alright
This is nothing
I will soon destroy this for good

But as for now
I am feeling so damn out of place
