 Heart of A Lion




Bound by a code a valor,
Striving to exist with honor;
Heart pumps the blood of pure unadulterated love;
Here I solemnly swear never to let the fires of righteousness
diminish within;
For I know that i possess an unbreakable resolve
to be the vessel through which the universal acceptance is extended;
I pray to the powers that ARE, that they may bless me
with a vision to see through this worldly guise
directly into the depths of the souls of those brushed aside by society;
To observe and appreciate the endearing qualities of those shunned
for reasons many times out of their control;
To be a voice for the little man,
a home for the forsaken;
Hark!
Send me your sickly, your addicts and miscreants
Show them the direction towards my realm,
for I will love them even whilst the world has deemed them unworthy;
I am not so blind as to miss the fellowship that is humanity;
The sorrow in the eyes of those who simply seek to be accepted
It is because I am conscious of such emotion
that I feel obligated to hold myself to a different standard;
Not one soul is born evil;
No one individual was created with the poison of hate his blood;
Outcasts are created, born of misunderstanding and ignorance,
forced to fend for themselves whilst never lent a helping hand,
nor a voice of encouragement;
never shown love, therefore almost incapable of adopting the same ideals, that the very ones judging seem to impose on them;
Yes it is I who turns his vision towards the heavens,
silently requesting that I may be blessed with the unfaltering eye of acceptance;
To embrace even the most grotesque of our kind without a hint of repulsion;
They were not born to be shunned,
not to be poked, prodded, and gawked at, made to feel worthless,
even by their own hand...
Every soul deserves the comfort of acceptance;
A sense of brotherhood, camaraderie afforded to the rest of us;
So here I stand, defender of the meek, hopeful that an unconditional love
may infect us all, subtly wishing to impose my ideals upon humanity;
Lord grant me the capacity to fill the void that only love and compassion may fill
Allow me to be a safe haven for those abandoned and hurt,
and bless me with clarity to recognize when my actions are detrimental to my cause;

you are far too kind.. and greatly appreciated :)

That is so beautiful, I am in awe. You put words to so many feelings and thoughts
I and others may have, but fail to know how to express. You are a gift.
Thank you.

ok.. I know I'm your friend and all .. but believe me I am NOT (underlined and bolded) biased when I say this - you should look into publishing some of your stuff. Seriously. Very serious. xx

Oh, yeah, I'm digging this song. This is one of the few songs by Cudi that I hadn't peeped out yet. I'm glad that you've taken such a shining to him. Hope he doesn't let the fame get to his head like Kanye or Lupe Fiasco did. Wanna see him keep it real.

shit i downloaded his album after i heard him on your profile. i gotta couple others im thinkin of writing to. and yea i definetly agree, i hope he takes it in stride

The song is really good and accompanies the writing so well, but I want the focus to be on your writing...everyone else gushes and it is so well deserved...you are one of the best here and, I'm sure, in many literary circles. Just an outstanding writer..you leave us all wanting more...always....selfishly, I say...please keep it going :-)

Amazing write, hollowman. I turned down the music to read and focus on your words. Outstanding! Now, I will listen to the music and reread. You are one hell of a talented writer. Bookmarking!

For the man that asks for such Gifts ~ might he know that tis in the Soul connected to the Heart transcribed in the mind that forges forward ~ tis not a gift lightly asked for ~ that then gifted ~ must be recognized as infused against all times to universes interconnected all covered with that Universal Love.

When the lion needs the rest ~ there is the litlest of gifts... that was not asked for nor even chosen ~ and with no Heart of a lion but rather ~ a heart that remains infintely without any human creature or thingie.

Well done for continuing to work out what will hold YOU close even when you wish someday you could have denied it even a moment.... forgiven over and over again to go forward with further GIFTS.

(if this makes no sense...then the quiet little offer remains...get ahold of me)

((HUGS))

and forever and always

LOVE

YOU always make sense to me in one way or another. and yes.. do forgive me. im slow to move into new dynamics and am horribly bad at following up. nonetheless i appreciate your tenacity much more than you realize thank you :)

New music, coming through speaking through my veins. My heart wither my hands into different branches. I embrace. The dexterity of multitasking. I weep in tears of lust to read more. Renewing my strength...

A child has spoken,
A man had listened...
And, I had the time to think.
