She is the greatest
In a world where most people degrade you and everyone treat you like a piece of crap, there is atleast always one person in your world who will stick by you and show you the world for the first time. She will show you that people just treat you like that to make themselves feel better. She will tell you that it is ok to be weired and outgoing. She will talk to you on IM for hours and make you feel like someone does care. That person is the one you always want to keep close to you and never ditrust them. She could be gone tomarrow and you could not know why. Always love that person and never let go. I know I won't. Never in a million years.

This is acctually a poem.
Why?
Why don't you live me?
Why don't you call me?
Why did you leave me?
*shruggs*
Why did you say you loved me?
Why can't I understand?
Why did you say you would come for me?
*tear falls down her face*
Tell me the truth.
Don't pull this crap on me.
You promised.
*covers face and cries*
You promised.
You said you care for me.
You "claim" you "love" me.
*wipes face and looks up*
"if you loved me you would be here with me."
Promis after promis after promis.
Hell I give up.
*Looks back down, cries and says*
"Why don't you love me dad?"
*runs, cries, falls, dies.*
No one is there Daddy.
Poem dedicated to my dad.

The Guise Of Friendship
 

The Guise Of Friendship

By: Darik Maurice

 

            One day, a bunny rabbit named Harry was hopping through the forest, doing his regular hop. While he was bouncing along, he noticed something shiny and white through the thick green lush of the forest. Being the curious bunny that he was, Harry decided to go check out what this alien thing might be. When Harry got closer, it became apparent to him that it was a beautiful white stallion with a horn sticking out of its head.

            “Ahem,” Harry started, “excuse me?”

            The white horse looked down at the gray bunny rabbit, teary eyed.

            “Yes? What do you want?” The horse asked.

            “I was just wondering—what exactly are you?”

            “I’m a unicorn; a mystical creature from far away. I came here to get a drink from the spring, but I can’t find it…and now I’m lost.” The unicorn began to cry again.

            “No, no! Don’t cry! I just want to be friends.”

            “Friends? What’s a friend? Oh, and what is your name?”

            “My name is Harry! What’s yours?” Harry was very intrigued.

            “My name is Lightning—now what is a friend?”

            “Oh, a friend is someone who is kind and caring for others,” Harry said. He could not believe his pointy ears that Lightning had not heard of a friend before.

            “But,” Lightning said, “one cannot always be kind and caring. It is very difficult.”

            “That is true,” Harry replied, “but friends also forgive. Now, forgiving doesn’t mean saying that what they did was right. It means that what they did is passed off and cannot affect the friendship.”

            “I see!” exclaimed Lightning. “Now, tell me—what would a friend do for a friend?”

            “Follow me,” said Harry, and he hopped deeper into the forest.

            Of course, Lightning followed and wondered where Harry was taking him. Lightning slowed down a bit. What if he’s taking me to do harmful things to me?

            “Come on!” yelled Harry. Lightning galloped after his voice.

            Harry and Lightning came to an open space, surrounded by bountiful fruit trees. Right in the middle of the clearing was a wonderful spring, sparkling with crystal blue water.

            “Oh! Joy! The spring!” Lightning galloped over to the spring and took several slurps of the refreshing water. Once he was satisfied, he went over to a tree and ate three apples. Lighting turned to Harry: “Thank you so much! You are a true friend.”

            “So, you now know what a true friend is?” Harry questioned. Lightning nodded. “One more thing,” Harry whispered. “Friends trust each other. I saw doubt in your eyes as we ventured here. There must be honesty and trust in a friendship.” Harry smiled.

            “Well, thank you very much, but I must be going now.” Lightning started through the forest when—

            “Wait!” Harry yelled. Lightning turned around.

            “What is it?” Lightning smiled, expecting something more.

            “Umm, well,” Harry tapped his foot. “See, before I can be a friend to you, I must be a friend to my family.”

            Lightning heard the bushes all around him start to rustle. He anxiously looked around and then watched as at least twenty more bunnies hopped out from the shadows. They were salivating.

            “Please, forgive me,” Harry said. “After all, that’s what friends do, right?”

            The bunnies started to close in on Lightning as he wished he had never gotten lost.

Religion is Detriment
Evil is first and foremost a religious notion. It means whatever religion dislikes. Christianity assimilated various pagan deities and practices when obliged to make concessions to stubborn peasant predilections (hence the incorporation of Diana worship into Catholic veneration of the Virgin Mary), but it otherwise proscribed all other and earlier deities as devils. The chief devil, Satan, is himself a composite figure. He is Lucifer, he is the Green man of pagan nature beliefs, he is the lusty goat-footed satyr who sported with nymphs in the groves of antiquity. He is, in short, the representative and personification of things the church wished people to stopped liking and doing. As Lucifer, the devil began as a grand and beautiful angel whose sin was disobedience – a frightful crime in religious eyes: for the height of virtue is unquestioning obedience to God’s will, whatever it is (even if God tells you to cut your child’s throat, as in the Abraham story). Milton liked Lucifer’s desire for autonomy and self-expression, and for his resulting rebellion against the absolutist oppression of God; which is why the poetry of Paradise Lost soars, as if on archangel’s wings, when ever Lucifer – Milton’s tragic hero – is central to action. As the Green Man, Satyr, or any supernatural figure not sanctioned by the orthodoxy as angel or saint, Satan represents forces of nature and aspects of the world, which the church wishes to suppress chief among them the appetites for sex and pleasure. To do this it employs the time-honoured trick of demonishing them and making people afraid of them, portraying them as ugly and dangerous. (Governments do the same in propaganda about enemies in times of war.) And then, to sink the roots of this fear deep, the church introduces the idea of evil and devil to children, for it knows that if it can cut early psychological scars it has better chance of holding on to the minds thus wounded. All religions are anxious to proselytise the young. Society seems not to see either the absurdity or the danger in the fact that pupils in one school are taught, as truths of history, that the Normans conquered England in 1066 and that Jesus is the son of God, in another that the Normans conquered England in 1066 and Jesus in not the son of God but Mohammed received definitive divine relevation, in a third that the Normans conquered England in 1066 and that neither Jesus nor Mohammed is of any significance besides Guru Dev – and in a fourth that the Normans conquered England in 1066 and all three of Jesus, Mohammed and Guru Dev are false distractions, attention to whom is likely to provoke God’s jealous wrath. Yet in schools all over the country these antipathetic ‘truths’ are being force-fed to different groups of pupils, none of whom is in a position to assess their credibility or worth. This is a serious form of child abuse. It sows the seeds of apartheids capable of resulting, in their logical conclusion, in murder and the need for comforting fables, will never be extirpated, so religion will always exist, at least among the uneducated. The only way to manage the dangers it presents is to confine it entirely to the private sphere, and for the public domain to be blind to it in all but one respect: that by law no one’s private beliefs should be allowed to cause a nuisance or an injury to anyone else. For whatever and wherever religion manifests itself in the public arena as an organized phenomenon, it is the most Satanic of all things. War, always an evil, is sometimes the lesser of two evils. Even then it needs additional justification, from the degree of evil it opposes. The war against Nazism was a justified war, although not everything done in it by the opponents of Nazism was justified. This consideration prompts the inescapable question about the conduct of war: what should be its limits? Should ethics tie one’s hands when faced with an implacable enemy, whose victory would be a disaster for the world? Churchhill said, ‘There is no middle course in wartime.’ This hard truth forces one to recognize another: that every war, however justified, reduces the stock of human good, and diminishes civilization – sometimes destroying in seconds what centuries built. War prompted by religion, even indirectly, is never justified. Whatever proximate excuse for such wars, the basis of each one is exactly the same, namely, suspicion and hostility engendered by differences of belief and associated culture. Christian armies mounted crusades against ‘infidels’ to capture the holy places of the Middle East, and against ‘heretics’ such as the Cathars to rebut their falsehoods by exterminating those who believed them. These are entirely matters of ideology. None of the major faiths is bloodless, history recks with the gore of their wars and persecutions, all the more disgusting a spectacle for being, in essence, as simple as this: A kills B because B does not agree with A that there are fairies at the bottom of the garden.People should be left to believe what they like, so long as they harm no one else. Apart from normal expectations of politeness, it is however clear why people should require their personal beliefs to be treated with special sensitivity to others, to the point that if others fail to tip-toe respectfully around them they will start throwing bombs. From a secular point of view, religious beliefs are at best absurd and at worst dangerous, and the amount of free play they are given in the public domain is a menace. Believed-in fairies should be kept at home as an entirely private matter, and their votaries encouraged to cease taking themselves so seriously that, when irritated by those who differ, they resort to Kalashnikovs. Apart from anything else, such reactions speak little confidence in their own violently-held certainties. When differences of belief and religion-based culture are the ultimate source of conflict, the real war that needs to be fought is the war of ideas. A secularist might hope that liberal scientific education would at last free the human spirit from its thralldom to ancient superstitions and practices. Realism prompts the more modest hope that people can learn to accept that others differ, that belief is a private matter, and that no one has the right to impose beliefs on others or to punish their non-acceptance. This aspiration has a practical dimension. In order to accommodate a variety of religious and cultural differences in a single society, society itself needs to be wholly secular, most especially its educational institutions. ‘Faith-based’ schools entrench and perpetuate the differences which too often lead to conflict; by educating children from all backgrounds together there is a far greater chance of mutual understanding and personal friendships. Enthusiasts of all faiths oppose secular education because exposure to other traditions has the effect of loosening the grip of their own. That, from a secular standpoint, is of course the consummation devoutly to be wished. The war of ideas today is what makes a difference to the occurrence or otherwise of shooting wars tomorrow. But the murderous grip of humanity’s various immemorial belief systems is unavoidably here now, sprouting its bitter fruit. It is as hard for the innocents of one side to defend against a frenzy of fanatics as for those of the other to protect themselves against technological might.; But the survivors, if there are any, can try to defend the future by winning the longer and great war against intolerance, bigotry, zealotry and hatred which brutally divides mankind against itself.

*Daddy murdered me*

I am but three,
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see,
I must be stupid
I must be bad,
What else could have made
My daddy so mad?
I wish I were better
I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my mommy
Would still want to hug me.
I can't speak at all
I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
All the day long
When I awake I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home.
When my mommy does come
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight
Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From Charlie's Bar.
I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the wall.
I try and hide
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.
He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault
That he suffers at work.
He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.
He's already locked it
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.
I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken.
"I'm sorry!", I scream
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.
The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!
And he finally stops
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor.
My name is Sarah
And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me.

hate

darker are the thoughts
about you

look into your eyes
i feel rage
about to snap

the thoughts about you
are getting darker

wish you would die
wish you could see
what hell can be

shatter your hideous soul
inside my mind

drain your blood
make you suffer
let you rot alone

the thoughts about you
keep getting darker

cant take it anymore
clench my fists
break the glass

screaming
louder and louder
as the glass falls to the floor

your finally gone
cant see your ugly face anymore
because i shattered the mirror

i hate you
