When a Son is Betrayed
an original poem by Jason White
When a son is betrayed
By his father
Anger and rage
Fuel his revenge.
But when he is betrayed
By his mother
Darkness consumes
His very being.
A man without love
Is a man who hasn't known
The love of his mother.
A man without character
Is the man who's filled
With hatred for the one
He thought a Goddess.
Betrayal is all he knows.
Born an angel
Quickly a twisted soul
Reborn into hellfire.
The first love of his life
Turned his heart to stone.
Now he's vile
Bleeding all over those
Whose blood he continues to spill
Before they can do
What his mother did
To him before.

Born of Stardust
You were born of stardust. The knowledge of a million planets, billions of souls. Given the strength of a thousand legions. A soldier of love. You were born of stardust. Given a purpose in this world. The heart of a lioness, none can compare to you. Now close your eyes. Let your hair flow in the wind. Feel everything you're meant to be, flowing through your veins. You were born of stardust. A knowledge keeper. A life bringer. A woman in a sick world. Here to spread kindness and love. To break the shackles drowning us all. You were born of stardust with more than enough to pass along. You are loved. As a woman. As a warrior. As a lover. As a sister. As a mom. Nobody can take these things away. You were born of stardust so long ago.
