Revolution

change will come soon enough,
but let’s not wait forever.
procrastination tempts the Devil
to pull the power lever.
we need a revolution.
expeditiously, a euphemism.
we are the only solution.
stand up and fight or be a nuisance.
freedom is our birth right,
so demand restitution.
they’ll fight to keep us quiet.
withstand their institution.

Resist the urge to give in.
Eventually they’ll see.
Virtually everything we do is ignored, but
Opposers we must be.
Life as we know it will improve.
Unite. Demand equality.
Turn thoughts into actions.
Immediately.
On this day, make a vow to
Never give in.

I Want To Hold Your Hand

Holding hands with someone is the most intimate thing that I have ever experienced in my (almost) 19 years of life. It doesn’t happen often, with me at least. I have kissed more people, hugged more friends, and had more sex than I have held hands. That’s because everyone kisses and hugs. There are no emotions attached to those things. Rarely does sex come with an emotional attachment. It’s just sex. Holding hands is so much more than that. When the lines of your palms come in contact with another person’s, so much changes. Simply interlocking fingers and feeling your pulses pound in sync brings so much peace to the soul. I want to experience the serenity that comes with touching another human being so intimately that all of my fears disappear. I really just want to hold hands until forever, or at least long enough to discover a bit of tranquility from within.
