A few poems about suffering...

Poem # 1: (Pantoum)

Suffering and Pain Shape You

Suffering and pain shape you
into something new
because you learn
and Move on

Into something new
and so often better
and move on
and feel happiness

And so often better
filled with joy
and feel happiness
But how do you know your happy

filled with joy
You look to the bad
but how do you know your happy
because you remember

you look to the bad
then experience a hug
because you remember
the happiness is amazing

Then experience a hug
or a kiss
the happiness is amazing
Because of all the pain

Or a kiss
an amazing feeling
because of all the pain
you can realize true happiness

An amazing feeling
suffering and pain shape you
you can realize true happiness
because you learn

Poem # 2: (Found)

People have to really suffer
before they can risk doing what they love
If you never feel the suffering
how will you know it is what you love?
If you never feel the suffering
will you appreciate what you love?

People have to really suffer
before they can risk doing what they love
because you need to know that it is good
and great
and wonderful
to really know you must feel all the bad
and pain
and hurt
only then will you know that you truly love
and care
and appreciate
all that is there in front of you

Poem # 3: (Rhyming)

How would you know happiness
if it wasn't for all the nastiness?
If you never felt pain
would you even experience any gain?
You would you grow and learn
with out any concern?
If life were all the same
wouldn't it just be lame?
How would you know happiness
if it wasn't for all the nastiness?

Poem # 4: (free verse)

the truly great
suffer and experience pain
because they have learned from their mistakes
they are able to be great
look to the past
and the present
the happy people
the ones who have greatness
are the ones who have suffered
who have had bad experience
that really changed their life
the truly great

It's For the Children

it's for the children
you know
that we spend all your money
take away your guns
and strip you of your rights

it's for the children
you know
never mind all the debt
they will have to pay
from all the spending

it's for the children
you know
never mind the false sense of security
that's been created
becuase they no longer see a need to carry a gun

it's for the children
you know
never mind the dependency
they will have on the government
becuase of too many laws

it's for the children
you know
we tell our selves and you
so we can do whatever
we feel we need to do


"It's for the children"

A False Sense of Security

Imagine a women
with a sign
"No guns no crimes!"
She thinks this will stop all of the violence
in every one's life!
A false sense of security
making her feel safe
which creates a dangerous place
where the strong stand tall
and the weak underneath.

Now imagine later down the road
when she's walking through an ally
and gets attacked by a stranger
will him not having a gun
really stop him from raping her?
A false sense of security
making her feel safe
which creates a dangerous place
where the strong stand tall
and the weak underneath.

Isn't it ridiculous
isn't it sad
how she thinks more laws
will stop all the bad?
Like a little child snug under their blanket
thinking no one can get them now.
A false sense of security
making her feel safe
which creates a dangerous place
where the strong stand tall
and the weak underneath.

Why would she fight so hard to be her own person
just to look to others for her protection?
Now she is no longer independent
and not equal to everyone else
becuase she is weaker
and can not fight for herself.
A false sense of security
making her feel safe
which creates a dangerous place
where the strong stand tall
and the weak underneath.

If she only had carried a gun
She wouldn't be dead
becuase she didn't have time to run
and she wouldn't have died scared
waiting for the police to say
everything will be okay.
Her false sense of security
made her feel safe
but in the end
it only made her have a horrible fate.
Becuase no guns only
make the strong stand tall
with the weak underneath.
