Its Summer, So Why Is It Snowing?

Its Summer, So Why Is It Snowing?

By: Tyler Ross

Step into a mind that’s different than yours.

When respect is paid but not returned.

You got a lot of nerve 

and no excuse.

When the time comes,

its the power of another you abuse.

I’ve got a short fuse,

and can’t seem to choose.

If I should just walk away

or get a better clue.

You’ve meant that much

and it fucks me up.

How you could just pull the plug

saying enough’s enough?

It ain’t that easy

please hear me out.

I saw something special

between us no doubt.

I know you felt it too 

and I’m not asking much of you.

Just reconsider how you treat me

when I step into your view.

No tolerance for lies.

No exception for deception.

The time is now for your confession.

I’d walk away now,

but then you wouldn’t learn your lesson.

Empathy is in question.

Help me understand 

this unwanted tension.

Hypocritical Human Pointing Fingers

Hypocritical Human Pointing Fingers
By: Tyler Ross

It's okay for one thing, but not the other,
for you.
Standing on your soapbox,
today it's the Internet,
only your point of view.
Somedays, you band together
and to spread more hate,
what's wrong with you?

Where is your open heart?
Can you be a negative reducer?
I guess not.
Your brain ignites your burning tongue
spreading more hurt,
reducing everyone.

You wear those shoes too
given the opportunity.
You just refuse to see,
those stones you cast
only add more negative unity.

I see so many quick to judge,
then apologize later.
The likes of you
don't see anything greater beyond yourself,
even if the roles were reversed.
I wish I could help.

Where are the ones
helping to pull those who've fallen?
In those times of need,
sometimes it's not about what happened,
but about the recovery.
Everyone could use a pick-me-up,
a real friend.
Someone that will boost positivity
and stand by you to the end.

We could all use a little more help,
less spreading filth.

Monkey See, Please Do

When every human 

starts 

to care for others 

without any expectations or 

anything in return, 

then you can talk 

to me 

about empathy.
