To The World That I Love

A poem just for you.

To The World That I Love
NYC

Love with an open mind. Listen with an open heart.

Speak with a mind at ease and act with the purest of hearts.

Act with good intentions. Follow what feels true.

Understand that this world does not revolve around just you.

It revolves around us:the earth & the above.

It revolves around the fact that we can live happily in love.

In love with this life. In love with one another.

Hate was designed to separate us from the "other."

But there is no other.We're equal in every way.

Negativity was socially constructed to push us away.

Away from the truth. Away from each other.

Dividing us by race, color, sex, and the other.

This division of classes obviously doesn't work.

Yet those with money protect their place

& those in poverty are seen as dirt.

As if they ended up there by themselves.

As if they deserved it.

This world can do better. Our children deserve it.

Hell we deserve it!

To live with out fear,

To live in a world where countries do not fear

of being invaded, bombed, threatened, & killed.

It's not a joke. It's the reality we are in.

Despite it all I still think we can win.

Because I love this world & I refuse to believe that our world is falling apart. We just have to stand together. We have to listen with our hearts. Like I said in the beginning, Love with an open mind. Listen with an open heart.

Good Vibes & Happy Lives

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
