I witnessed a murder

 

 

 

I witnessed a murder
I was at the scene of the crime
I saw the blood, I heard the bullets as they pierced her heart
I didn’t do anything to help her
Thought SHE could fend for her self
The battle was hers, not mine
If SHE was meant to live, would SHE not have survived
She would probably have still been alive today
Clearly that was her time to go
SHE had served her purpose.

They never knew how cool SHE was
Her intellect surpassed them all
A happy character, she was a lot of fun.
SHE came in unannounced with out any notice
I enjoyed her company so I let her stay , SHE didn’t have to ask.
She overstayed her welcome 
When SHE started to change the ambience 
I started feeling a bitter taste of our connection
SHE was illicitly reeking havoc.

SHE wasn’t loud or dramatic
With simple gestures and soft whispers
SHE took over my conscience
SHE wanted to take over
Her intentions were not to be Co-pilot
Nor did she want to fill the vacancy for understudy
SHE overstepped my boundaries
SHE didn’t know her place
So I decided SHE had to go.

I witnessed a murder of a being
That then, was a part of me
I watched as SHE was ripped into pieces
Quickly discarded so no one noticed she was gone
There was only one witness
That witness was the killer

Was I right? Was I wrong?
See I had looked into the crystal ball
didn’t like the ME she would have made me
Didn’t fit into the ME I had seen in the Architects blueprint
So I decided to play a part in altering the way things were going

SHE was lazy, got nothing done
SHE loved shortcuts,
Didn’t appreciate all the hard work I had put in
Nor were our dreams similar.
SHE spoke her mind without any regard
Her words leaving scars and bruised egos
SHE had no timing, without warning …
her bullets slowly minimised all foes and friends alike 

Silent screams of help from me would sometimes stop her in her tracks
I was lonesome, needed a companion
Never had time for auditions so I made a random selection
SHE was the wrong decision 

I murdered her, euthanised her slowly so she felt no pain
At times I feel pain for ending her life so abruptly
But I don’t feel no guilt, not a bit of remorse 
I had to get ME back
So I could fulfil MY purpose
So I erased her from existence
She will never return 
Totally extinct, and u know what…
I couldn’t be more happier.

I tried to help her plenty of times
Told her all things in proportion so pace yourself
Would SHE have ever listened to me?
SHE was enticed by the other life, new acquaintences 
And her role of potential power.
SHE’s not a bad person 
Nor am I a good person, but im trying to be
See that’s the difference between SHE and I
All that’s left of her are memories 
I wont forget SHE , SHE’s a constant reminder of where I shouldn’t be
Ever so often SHE comes to mind
Then I reminisce on the good times we shared
SHE’s not mad is SHE ?
SHE’s in a better place, my minds at ease.

I witnessed a murder
Though I am not a killer
I just did what I thought was right
Cause SHE was not me
I AM ME
The better half of what I almost became 
had she been in existence…

I am not a murderer 
I am ALIVE and I AM ME
NO vacancies for counterfeits 

"The Hypocrisy Of Black People"

Racism is the belief that there are inherent differences in people's traits and capacities that are entirely due to their race, however defined, and that, as a consequence, racial discrimination (i.e. different treatment of those people, both socially and legally) is justified. Homophobia is a term used to refer to a range of negative attitudes and feelings towards lesbian, gay and in some cases bisexual, transgender people and behaviour, although these are usually covered under biphobia and transphobia. Intersex and asexual people are also sometimes included. Definitions refer variably to antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, and irrational fear and discrimination (i.e. different treatment of those people, both socially and legally) is justified.

A conversation between a young African lady and a young African man in a social group about awareness and understanding in England:

Young Lady: Good morning guys new subject: This country is supposed to be a Christian country so why promote gay marriage, transgenda's and drag queens in our schools and TV’s?  What do you think being gay is, should it be accepted in our society today and should other countries follow in our footsteps?

Young Man: It saddens me when people use instruments such as religion to justify prejudice. Did u know that a lot of white supremacy movements believed and to this day still believe that it is their God given right to be superior to Black people.

Young Lady: My view is that being Gay is a disease, manmade to destroy normality of reproduction. I am not saying that these people are evil but perhaps emotions of "I was born this way" is purely fabricated, you were not born to be bad or evil neither were u born to oppose nature.

Young Man: You know I used to be a self-confessed and full blown homophobic until I realised something, as a black person growing up I faced a lot of adversity and prejudice because of the colour of my skin. I never chose to be black, this is how I was born, the world seems to associate all things bad and evil with the colour black "black sheep", "dark lord" and the list is endless... Now for me to even have any prejudice or hatred toward homosexual people would be the height of hypocrisy.

Most homophobic people consider homosexuality as a phase or particular period of life. According to this type of misconception, arose an array opinion that people become homosexual because of their environmental influence, which is wrong. Usually people being homo-orientated are from the birth, there is even reasoned theory how this can be. Researchers claim that the base of the brain and foetus is female type at first. And only later a huge dose of male hormones and androgens change the brain into a male type. This is a scientific explanation about homosexual people birth. The reason of homosexuality is innate and all opinions and stereotypes about homosexual appearance or manners become not sensible. It is part of human nature and therefore inevitable to judge others, but you should always remember that you can insult people who are different from you just because you have some old fashion stereotypes about them.

I know a Girl...

I know a girl…

Afraid of loves embrace 

Feels out of place Needs her space

Yet she wants to be first in the race

I know a girl… Constantly under the spotlight

Her eyes almost blinded by the continual flash light

She knows her future is bright

But she longs for her knight

I know a girl…

On stage she’s a different being, Lights camera action

This feeling is freeing, surely its only a temporary distraction

Sooner or later to reality she will return

Only to be reminded of the true love she so hopefully yearns

I know a girl…

Who when Looking in the mirror

Gets close trying to see the image a bit clearer

She stares back at her reflection

Ready for a careful inspection

Her constant endeavor with perfection

Is sure to leave her facing rejection

I know a girl….

Searching for affection let alone acceptance

A tear can appear in an instance

As she realises her life is without substance

She doesn't even have the patience

To confront her inner conscience

She reminisces of the past

Although she realises compared to her present its in vast contrast

Is she happy? That is the question

Imprisoned by the emotions that are her life’s Caption

Is it necessary to take an untimely precaution

If she could her past she would rewrite 

Just so her present wouldn’t feel so airtight she tells her self she’ll be alright

But in the end its like a poem that she recites

I know a girl… I know a girl… I know a girl…

Who is this girl?

Can wars really solve problems?

From the birth of mankind we have been at war in one way or another. We have fought against
nature for food or each other for land and resources. It is interesting when you look back and ask yourself, why? Maybe war is just a part of us that we cannot
escape and it is embedded in our nature. I have heard people say that nobody wins a war! Is this true, do both sides lose? I agree that it is painful for both sides; both the loser and victor alike will carry scares for the rest of their lives.

Take a step back away from politics and religion, and imagine earth without mankind on it. Do you see the earth as a peaceful place? Now before you say yes, take a closer look. Now in my view of earth without mankind, the planet is still bursting with life and there are many types, fish in the sea, animals walking on the earth and birds in the sky. Now look even closer, do you see how they are divided into two basic groups? Yes all the different types of life are either predator or prey therefore we need to understand that wars are fought for a number of different reasons, namely political tension, resource control, or religious reasons but at the end of it all, in these wars people die and many lives are ruined. More often than not, the cons of a war out weigh the pros.

To give you a rough Idea of the magnitude of casualties which have been experienced in the past. World War One left Europe devastated. Those countries that had fought in it, had suffered casualties never experienced before: Britain 750,000 soldiers killed; 1,500,000 wounded, France : 1,400,000 soldiers killed; 2,500,000 wounded, Belgium : 50,000 soldiers killed, Italy : 600,000 soldiers killed, Russia : 1,700,000 soldiers killed and America : 116,000 soldiers killed. Those who had fought against the Allies suffered heavy casualties as well: Germany : 2,000,000 soldiers killed, Austria-Hungary : 1,200,000 soldiers killed, Turkey : 325,000 soldiers killed, Bulgaria : 100,000 soldiers killed. The total deaths of all nations who fought in the war is thought to have been 8.5 million with 21 million being wounded.

I will start off by giving you a general definition of war then my own definition of what I think war is according to my critical thought process and then leave you to make up your own definition. “War is the means of obtaining a political goal by any other means either than political means” and my definition is “War is the means of obtaining a set agenda by any means  necessary through the use of violence and social coercion, by the parties involved.” Many people believe in the popular saying “fight fire with fire” for those of you who are not familiar with this term, it means combating an evil or negative circumstance by reacting in kind. This saying is generally the basis of justifying going into war. It sounds justifiable right? But I firmly disagree with it because I firmly believe that hate cannot defeat hate, it can only create a vicious circle of even more hatred. 

Most of my learned friends may argue that wars are declared, not for the gain of the rich but instead for the economic security of the nation and that makes sense right? But does that make it ok for one nation to prosper at the expense of sacrificing another nation? War is a very outdated, barbaric, cruel bloody, painful, harsh, brutal, endless and criminal method of settling issues because the only way an outcome can be reached is under one condition; if one side succeeds to destroy the other side completely and omit his existence.  In modern wars, it is impossible to do such a thing even when using the most destructive weapons, so today’s wars only postpone tensions until the next stage of confrontation. Most of my learned friends may argue that wars are declared, not for the gain of the rich but instead for the economic security of the nation and that makes sense right? But does that make it ok for one nation to prosper at the expense of sacrificing another nation?

1.       Strengthen the force of law, not the law of force

Legal prosecution holds criminals accountable, and punishes the responsible parties, without killing more innocent civilians.

2.       Abolish nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.

The only way to ensure that nuclear weapons are never used, by terrorists or nations, is to abolish them.

3.       End the arms trade and military training programs.

Soldiers find themselves facing and being killed by enemies armed with weapons made in their own country.

4.       Build good will by increasing foreign aid.

Work toward eliminating the conditions that sustain terrorism even through providing substantial aid to developing nations and enact policies that promote human rights.

Therefore as the saying goes ‘Make love not war‘, is by all means the best option because in my view even if some wars do solve problems, the cost at which these problems are solved is far greater than peaceful and democratic solutions.

To love and then to part

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." -David Viscott

TO LOVE AND THEN TO PART

In her eyes He saw the sun shining, the bountiful rays of a summers glow
She was his bouquet, he watered her with his time and love just to see her smile
Today he bought her roses, 10 Red roses, each representing a year they spent together
10 years of all they shared, in trials and tribulations, happiness and in love
although she lays there, peaceful as ever, beautiful as they day they met,
with HIM, her memory lives on...


Love begins with a moment, grows over time and true love lasts forever
they say, It is better to have lived and loved then never to have loved at all
that is the tale of today, the tale of this moment, the tale of their two
seeds born of love, who together - lived in love and were separated in love by untimly circumstances


To Him she was many things, a friend, a lover and a partner
with each teardrop, behind each smile, with every thought of her
he now reminisces on the times they shared
though he's lost a loved one, he need not loose grasp of reality
the reality that love continues to live in us all and we are all ready and willing to love


To Him I Say:

To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
let memories of the happy times
sooth your heart and bring forth a smile
May you find comfort and peace in the thought of
knowing and sharing memories and joys your loved one brought
let her memory be painted in an aray of colors so rich and true
those were the happy hours that belonged only to you both
now whats left is for you to smile and bid her FAREWELL

MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE
