My Longest Mistake

My Longest Mistake

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Tears are flowing again

Burning my eyes

Leaving scars along my face

How could I have ever let you go

My life and my dreams

Just gone in a bad moment

I should have said I was sorry

But it all happened too fast

Now, we never talk

Not even to say hello

It should never had gotten this bad 

But it is far too late

So I cry every night as I reach for you 

I only find empty air where you should be

My heart breaks and my tears flow

And I know that is what a mistake should feel like

October 7 2023

by Lord R.e. Taylor

All it took was just one day

A sneak attack by cowards

Killed thousands of innocents

Men, women, children and babies

Shot, raped, burned, and beheaded

The few who are left

The children left can not find love

Their parents were placed in mass graves

Their home destroyed

Their futures taken away from them

Now, the cowards cry for help

The innocents have been fighting back

Defending those who are left

Following God's words of ‘an eye for an eye’

They should continue fighting

Until every last coward rots in Hell

Empty Chairs

Empty Chairs

by Lord R.e. Taylor

For years he and his wife shared the sunset

Sitting in those chairs every night

Now, they are both with the angels

Do the chairs know that they are no longer coming

They look so sad as they just sit and wait

Hoping that someone will stop by for just a moment

Beauty Is Doomed

Beauty Is Doomed

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Beauty comes in so many ways

But it was never created to last

It was created to be destroyed

Either by passing time or age

Or through an act of violence

After all, it does not matter

And there is nothing we can do about it

In the long run, all beauty is doomed

Loneliness

Loneliness

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Most I know hate loneliness

They need people to survive

I am not that kind of person

It does not take much to please me

Maybe just an hour of loneliness

Just for the chance for some silence

Destroying The Universe

Destroying The Universe

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Humans don't think

Most likely they don't care

They created a world of destruction

Destroying stars, planets, the entire universe 

Hiding beauty created through billions of years

But is it worth a child not having a star to wish upon

Or couples not having a moon to fall in love under

All just to sell a few more hamburgers

One Special Night

One Special Night

by Lord R.e. Taylor

One night

One very special night

The veil comes down

The dead and the living

Walking together with lost loved ones

Blessed by the gods

They share All Hallows Eve

They Are You

They Are You

by Lord R.e. Taylor

One drop of blood is too many

Despite all of our differences

We are all of the human species

So look at your enemies

They are you in another body

Torture

Torture

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Torture is the new way of war

Useless pain and death

Everyone is included

Babies, children, women … everyone

When did humanity die

Halloween Memory

Halloween Memory

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You may not know

Your days are numbered

Soon the children will come

Looking for beauty

If you are chosen by them

Yes, you may get a new home

But, it will not last

It never does for your kind

You will be butchered

Made ugly for a single night

No, you have no choice

So there is only a couple things to say to you

May your children have a happy Halloween

And may you be their favourite memory

His American Dream

His American Dream

by Lord R.e. Taylor

He always tried to be good

The kind of man he knew he should be

He worked hard all of his life

Married the only woman he ever loved

And raised his kids the way he should

That all ended one spring evening

His world collapsed in around him

He lost everything that meant him anything

Now he sleeps under a leaky bridge

Beaten and robbed every night

Yet, he has never given up

He still believes in the American dream

Even if it doesn’t believe in him

Memories No More

Memories No More

by Lord R.e. Taylor

So many memories

Places we have been

People we have known

You could always go back

And they would be there

A promise which could not be kept

Time passed without us knowing

Slowly, everything we remembered

They were all taken away

Replaced by empty spaces

Even our minds begin to fade

Until just a few neurons are left

If and when they are gone

Our memories will go with them

And our history...just like us

Will cease to exist
