Losing Stress



Losing Stress

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

You have enough stress

Stress from today

Stress left from yesterday

And stress about tomorrow

It just keeps coming

Nothing can stop it

All you can do is deal

Once in a while just say screw it

You know a trip or bath won’t cut it

Just set everything where it is

Have a shot or two

Hell, drink the whole bottle

The stress will still be there

You can’t get rid of it

But you won’t remember it

Isn’t that good enough

At least until you sober up

The Warrior Tree



The Warrior Tree

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

She stood for so long

Fighting for humanity

Battling her own family

She drew first blood

She drew the most blood

Piling bodies on the field

One by one the Titans fell

She stood until the fight was over

Alone she looked over the waste

She even cried for those she killed

But she knew that her battle was also over

Exhausted she gave away her life

Answering her final prayer

She was turned into a mighty tree

One which would stand forever

Ready to fight again if she was needed

Waving Flags



Waving Flags

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

More that 200 countries on Earth

Each with its own flag

Flying high above the citizens

Waving under the skies above

Not blown by nature’s winds

They are moved by a magical force

The last breath of millions of soldiers

Lives given to defend their beliefs

If you listen, you may hear their voices

Praying for all of us still alive

Beauty For The World



Beauty For The World

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

Someone wanted beauty

They worked for years

Maybe it took a lifetime

Planting one seed at a time

In time it grew and grew

Blooming beyond their dreams

Now, others admire their work

And it symbolizes the true meaning of art

A beauty made not for the artist

Rather a beauty made for the world

We Won’t Come Back


We Won’t Come Back

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

We came here so long ago

Back before you existed

We helped the apes we found

Evolved them until you appeared

Then we trusted you to grow

We hoped that you would improve

Become worthy of being our children

We did return more times than you know

We watched as you grew up

There were times we were proud

We watched as you did so much good

But now there is no good left

You have filled the world with hate

We would not have created you for that

So, until you learn how to love again

We will not be coming to visit you

And you won’t be welcome to the universal family

The Greatest Treasure



The Greatest Treasure

By Lord R.e Taylor

 

What is the greatest treasure

It is not money

That will not appease you

Nor is it fame

It is fleeting as the wind

There one minute and gone the next

There is only one real treasure

The life that you were given

It is yours to do as you wish

It allows you to love others

It allows you to be happy

And survive the sad times

That is the greatest treasure

Given to you by a couple in love

And a God who loves you

What could be better


Walking Alone



Walking Alone

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

I see you everyday

Walking alone

No one to talk to

No one to share dreams with

Sometimes I cry for you

Just imagining how you feel

I bet if a single person would say hello

Your life would change

And you would never walk alone again
