BLOOD AND WATER

When I was a child I was told that blood is thicker than water In short, I was to stick closer to blood And be careful of the water But the same people taught me That water is life That I am made of seventy five percent water And without water I would die As I grew older I realize that blood cannot survive without water Only in their unity There is continuity of flow So it explains the existence of my father and mother Who bore me; their blood But were definitely to each other water I also realized that there was plenty of water before there was any blood I do not question the wisdom taught me by men of old But I add to the stock of knowledge they have piled That the thickness of blood would be toxic without water That water was before blood That water makes 75% of the earth and can be found everywhere Water can wash away blood till it is not seen But blood cannot wash away water And that the only hope for the human race Is mixing freely

LOVE

You are not cold But I find it too hard to warm up for you I feel love That I can see in your lonely eyes I wish to hold your hands But how do I When now I feel closer to strangers Than I do my blood born brothers I feel broken And weighed down with love That should pour out But is held back by unbroken ice I wish to believe But I am too afraid to I hope tomorrow we will be new Or will never come at all For being afraid of love you deserve is most painful

ORACLE

Their tongues will be the tinder And their houses wood The war will begin from what causes all wars Vein contention Simply because men will feel letting go of power a sacrifice too great Even greater than saving a nation Many will become blind Their memories will be dulled And their reason broken Till they will be restored by cold winds striking their bare backs And relentless rain that will never wash their guilt away will be battering them Others will be sobered up by the distance they will have fled from home And the flames that will licking things they held dear When they stop There will be nothing to return to Nothing to love Shame to embrace an accept And a chance to start a new With fresh wound And painful nostalgia Of once united families Loved friends And dashed future  Have a philosophical glimpse of tomorrow FOR FREE in the book, I WILL BE WAITING IN TOMORROW by Antanabell Sol.
