Altruism, Frame, Lord of the Flies, and If You've Never Thought of Death, You Always Should Have

For-Rest

(4th & St. Louis, Los Angeles, CA)

Altruism

  Noble

  How noble you are
  The welfare of others is your greatest concern
  And for that, you are noble
  So humane!
6  No... you're all heart, a good heart
  A philanthropic bleeding heart
  Only here and only alive to care
  Generous and considerate
  No other soul is as noble
  You're not kind for taxes
12 You're not kind to feel better about yourself
  You're not kind, but magnanimous
  An altruistic spirit
  There needs to be more people like you
  I wonder why there isn't?
  Maybe...
18 It's the existence of people like me
  That find futility
  In your nobility

I Love How You Walk On Me

(Boyle Heights, USA)

Frame

  What a moment!
  Captured perfectly
  This picture worth only one word
  Look how happy she is
  No... her mouth is about to open
6  She looks surly
  Or maybe she looks disturbed
  That's what I insist
  Disturbed, the only word spoken
  And surely
  All the picture meant to unearth
12 Is that "disturbed" must exist
  Broken

Lord of the Flies

There are many flies
There are millions of damn flies
I'm faster than them

Don't Shatter

(3rd & Figueroa, Los Angeles, USA)

If You've Never Thought of Death, You Always Should Have

  And that's why you protect your family

  You stand there stoic

  Scared but prepared 

  But your family can't know it 

  Your family can't know that you're scared to die

6  And even more scared of their demise

  Because then you'll have to leave

  Because you're selfish

  And because you can't live without them

  Now I knew I would only die

  That's all I could ever do

12 But my family must live forever 

  And I must protect that! 

  I drive 

  And a wheel's crash

  My family is okay

  I'm okay

18 But we're frayed 

  All thoughts on our son

  All fear that turned to anger on each other

  And how we couldn't protect each other 

  And our son

  Death happens out of nowhere 

24 It can't be planned or planned for

  There is no middle age

  And you can't die too young

  It is what happens to us 

  ...to life as we know it

  I cannot wait to be

30 That person that lives for eternity
