Poem of the day – Look for a reflection

Shepard Ofpeace — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 19:22:06 +0000

Look for a reflection

a bird will crash into the glass
you will look and laugh
and you might not see the crack
you might trip up
and you might fall back
maybe you will look back
see you’ve fallen off the track
wipe the gravel off your face
get up and jump in place

one day your standing tall
next day you fall
all your friends call your name
and then they’re shaking their finger
saying you’re to blame

don’t waste your time with shame
there is no need for blame
just know to watch for a reflection
and get back into the game

Poem of The Day – Flowers Awake At Bloom

Shepard Ofpeace — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 23:25:45 +0000

A new wrong doesn’t make an old wrong right
At night we dream about the light
Stab me with names
Refuse to take blame
A child cries
Sometimes it seems insane
But when the sun rise, we rise and look to the sky
We will see and know why
Why a dark sky blanked out the light
the rain fell
grass grew under our feet
Silent is the walk and loud is the talk
As the flock watches a clock
Asking where is the rock
and the clock goes tick – tock
They say the dead shall rise
But I ask you
Why did they sleep
How deep is the deep
A truth sings
You sow what you reap
Remember this when you turn on your computer
And goes the beep
Awakened
No longer asleep
Truth has a spark to it
And you will know it when you hear it
Listen and you’ll hear it

Israel and Palestine Conflict

Shepard Ofpeace — Sat, 21 May 2011 08:56:43 +0000

There once was a one state, it was called Palestine were Jews and Muslims lived together in peace. Then a small group called the Zionist who believed in the Darwinian theory that the strong will over take the weak, this is evolution. They decided to put this into practice by creating a nation of Israel made up of stronger Jews from Europe overtaking weaker Muslims in Palestine.

First supported by the British and then of course the U.S. jumped onboard. Why are we always an extension of Britain? I heard this rumor that in 1812 we had a war with Britain and we won our freedom but it seems to me that we are now the long arm of Britain and have been for some time. I believe in one state, because if you have two states, they will just keep fighting. If Israel wants to be recognized as a nation, then they need to pay the Palestinians retribution and give Muslims equal rights. No longer a Jewish state, but made up of Jews and Muslims who are all equal citizens of that country, because that would truly be a democracy. If they can’t do that, then we need to say, their is no Israel, there is only Palestine, and that is the only fair and right way to do this.

Lyrics to Stone In My Hand :

Ride with the devil, hide with the lord
I got no pistol, ain’t got no sword
I got no army, ain’t got no land,
Ain’t got nothing but the stone that’s in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
Ain’t got nothing but the stone that’s in my hand

You say you want a revolution, well get on board
We’ll start a new crusade; we’ll start a holy war
Don’t need no orders, don’t need no plan
I don’t need nothing but the stone that’s in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I don’t need nothing but the stone that’s in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I don’t need nothing but the stone that’s in my hand

You build your fighter jets, you drop your bombs
You kill our fathers, you kill our moms
You kill our brother and our sisters, and our uncles and our aunts
Still I’m fighting with the stone that’s in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
Still I’m fighting with the stone that’s in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
All the love that’s in my heart and the stone that’s in my hand

Blood runs in the gutters, smoke fills the sky
Every son that suffers, every mother cries
So if you’ve had enough and you’re ready for your stand
I’ll be waiting with the stone that’s in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I’ll be waiting with the stone that’s in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
All the love that’s in my heart and the stone that’s in my hand

When The Shit Hits The Fan, The People Will Say, What The Fuck

All the U.S. politicians who support Israel because they largely financed their political campaign and turn a blind eye to the abuse of the Palestinians who live there are hypocrites to everything they took an oath to honor and bring shame on America. That’s why we send Israel Billions in aid each year, far more than any other country and gladly sell them weapons. And if you were an American you’d protest against this. The media who fails to cover the abuse who also receive large amounts of money from Israel are also hypocrites.

Inside Job by Steven Phillips

INSIDE JOB

How come we gave
so much money to the bankers
when they gambled it all away
How can it be
they were given so much bonuses
after the mess they made

Seems like an inside job
watching each other’s backs
covering up the facts

How can we deny
that the tragedy of 9-11
was not what it seems
Who can explain
why the science was so blemished that it’s
Unbelievable

Seems like an inside job
watching each other’s backs
covering up the facts

Why is it so
that history was rewritten
for the land of Palestine
There are no other words
but
Zionist apartheid
for what’s happening over there

Seems like an inside job
watching each other’s backs
covering up the facts
covering up their tracks

Poem of The Day – Inside

Shepard Ofpeace — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 02:08:38 +0000

Inside

Inside is a book
Who can find it?
Who will read it?
The wind sends a chill of persuasion
What do you feel?
What do you know?
How do you know it?
It’s all in the book, inside

Poem of The Day – In Hate They Justify

Shepard Ofpeace — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 01:13:11 +0000

In Hate
They Justify

Let’s love
And let hate and bitterness die
But when we sin
To hate
Gives us a reason why
It lets us justify
Yet, back in the deep woods
The truth lies
A beast we fear
We stay clear
When the light shines
We’ll see
We’ve sinned
With tears in our eyes
We will not be able to justify
Someday
The sun will come
The light will shine
They will find
I was not such a bad guy
With hands held out
I say
Lets love
And let hate and bitterness die
But I bet my hand’s slapped
They say I’ve sinned
I’m not perfect
But it is they
Not I
Who have sinned
And in hate and bitterness
They justify

Poem of The Day – Just Have A Drink

Shepard Ofpeace — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 22:31:26 +0000

Just Have A Drink

If you care
You will be cared for
If you see
You will be seen
If you hear
You will be heard
If you feel
You will be felt
And if you could be just a little understanding
You could be understood a little bit

Love is a river
Watering the ground
It makes things grow
If you want some
Just take a chance
Have a drink
And know
If you won’t
Nothing will happen
You will never grow

Poem of The Day – Off Track Racing

Shepard Ofpeace — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 22:26:46 +0000

Off Track Racing

trains on the rail
hammer that nail
you have a secret
i can’t tell
isn’t that special
isn’t that swell
a branch from the tree
fell
and down
on one knee
i see the reflection
of disgrace
not willing to run that race
a flag stands still
a heart fill
and who let the water out
who knows
who gets out
and what’s all this running about
but you can’t get out
if you can’t get in
your mind says
again and again
somebody says its a sin
well i don’t know
did it hurt you so
that you just had to go
