Needy for Love (Poem)

Stacey was a kind-hearted soul,

Wanting to make her mark in the world.

Happy and seemingly carefree,

Perky and everyone adored her.

Though she was upbeat at first, 

She craved attention 

And affection,

So much that it became her only obsession. 

Her dad was a drunk,

Would get home from work, 

Drink all night long.

Though she loved her dad, 

As he was fighting his demons inside,

She knew there was much more to his disguise. 

The more she craved his attention, 

She felt empty inside.

She had this obsession, 

For a man to love her 

And guide her path.

She became needy for love,

Outside love became her only obsession 

And joy.

She could not stop this obsession, 

Until one day, she looked in the mirror

With a dismayed expression on her face,

And told herself, 

Love is from within,

And knew, her life was forever changed.

Reaching Out

When you acknowledge a person and you’re there for him when he hits rock bottom, that’s being genuine and compassionate. It’s easy to acknowledge and recognize a public figure or highly regarded individual. The people who need compassion and acceptance the most are the ones at their lowest point. Danny G.

A Helping Hand

It’s easy to acknowledge and respect someone when he’s wealthy, famous or highly regarded. The wise person says I’ll acknowledge and respect those who are lost, and whose lives have fallen apart. I’ll be the one to pull them back up, and give them a spring in their step. Who needs acceptance more than the other, the one who’s got it together? Or the one who’s lost, afraid and who feels rejected? Danny G.

The Bully and the Victim of His Plot (Poem)

Bullying is a term, actualized by insecure people,

Trying to intimidate or ridicule, 

Based on external appearance.

For if they were aware, 

What matters above all,

They wouldn’t focus on petty things,

That doesn’t define who they are.

They hide beneath true feelings,

In an attempt, 

To appear strong among the rest.

They need to belittle, to appear superior

Among the rest.

Always trying 

To avoid, 

Their frailty and disguise, 

So they hide beneath insecurities, all day long.

So tell me the truth,

That bullies can’t conjure,   

Whose the most insecure of them all?

The bully, the victim of his plot.

Seeking Peace and Unity (Poem)

We don’t understand the impact of our words.

Our actions spit out prejudice and malice 

Among others,

Through nothing but ancestry and culture,

And skin on our bones.

Nation after nation, 

We create our own competition, 

Seeking one way to live, 

One truth to accept, 

Altering the meaning of prophesies into lies.

We don’t understand the impact of our words. 

Our words spit out racism and slurs, 

Not considering the lives 

We affect,

Through prejudice and conflict and war.

We create havoc among each other,

Sleep walking and bashing each other, 

To win some contest of better or not.

Let’s not forget our core,

Our reason for being,

To live peacefully 

As brothers and sisters, 

Let’s not contradict through lies.

The Promise (Poem)

He looked into her dying eyes,

And saw the dreadful anguish 

In her eyes, at 86, 

While death is staring face to face.

She said why, oh why?

Why does it have to be this way?

What’s the point of all of this?

In a state of disarray, 

From watching his loved one 

Passing away. 

He then promised himself,  

On that very day,

He would never ask that question 

On his dying day,

And he would live life to the fullest, 

Until his very last day,

So the questions

Would be irrelevant, 

On that same day.

Follow Your Intuition Don’t Conform

How did anyone do anything great? By listening to their peers, conforming to everybody’s expectations, and accepting their environment as their only hope? Many of us are told to face reality and follow the pact. We’re told to do whatever is considered normal or expected, given the circumstances. There’s nothing for you to do other than the impositions you create yourself. Be yourself, create the life you want, and follow your intuition but don’t conform to everybody’s expectations.

Accepting Everyone’s Perspective

Don’t obliterate anyone’s perspective, because everyone has their own reality and beliefs, and in their mind, it’s their truth. They may not be ready to receive a new perspective at the moment. There are laws that govern humanity, however, some people may still have to learn from their false beliefs in order to come to the realization of a new awareness. Danny G.

Racism Isn’t A Joke (Poem)

Racism is a funny word,

Isn’t it?

We don’t understand it, yet make fun of it.

We don’t understand the impact of our words,

We shout out with nothing 

But laughter in our voice.

We got comedy shows 

And crowds that haul,

At nothing but skin on our bones.

Yet we make fun, 

And mistreat, 

And ridicule, 

Yet we don’t consider, 

We’re all humans 

Simply looking for peace.

In a world where we create war,

And tragedies 

Through nothing but skin on our bones.

In a world where we belittle,

For nothing but ancestry and lore.

Yet the wise ones will hear, 

And consider.

The fools will reject, 

And not consider the mess,

That they create, 

Through words and beating, 

Inferiority and bets. 

We don’t consider, 

The lives in this tangled web.

The profound impact,

It has,

With families, and friends.

Let’s take this word seriously, 

And not laugh like the rest.  

Racism isn’t a joke, 

We’re dealing with people 

With feelings, 

Who simply want acceptance.

The Optimist and the Pessimist

What difference can you make if you’re feeling resentment and anger for every poor choice you have made throughout this lifetime? Resentment and anger never uplifts. What difference can you make if you loved yourself despite your imperfections and if you knew God loved you regardless of where you currently stand? Humanity doesn’t want to listen to someone who’s constantly beaten down by life. Humanity needs encouragement and compassion. There’s enough naysayers in the world, hence, the world needs more optimistic people. The world needs more people who appreciate themselves and love God despite their imperfections. It needs people who still want to create positive change regardless of where they currently stand. Danny G.
