“A World at Peace

If I could bake a single loaf of bread, that would feed all the hungry children of the world, I would do so. If I could pour the wine, that would quench the thirst for greed, hatred, and inhumanity toward man, I would do so. If I could create a world at peace, where there are no divisions among the races, the rich, and the poor, I would do so, if I could change the world by being less selfish in my actions, dream, and desires, I would do so, if you could, would you do so, would you join me today? If you could, would you make the world a better place—if you could, would you do so?”
― Sylvester Murray

“Adaptation

To persevere one must have the ability to adapt to change”
― Sylvester Murray

“I believe the true measure of a leader does not come from ones desire to be in control, but more so from the humility and respect you show others along the way…
Before one can truly lead, first you must learn how to follow. A true leader shines by example, not by dominance…”
― Sylvester Murray, Titanic Revisited

“CONFLICT

The greatest battle one may face is with one’s own actions”
― Sylvester Murray

“WHY I WRITE POETRY

It gives rhyme to reason,
It is as elusive as a dream,
Like the changes of the season,
Poetry isn’t always what it seems.

Like spring is to summer,
And winter is to fall,
It can be a beautiful sunrise,
Or an ugly brawl.

Why I write poetry,
It can be a way to vent,
An escape from reality,
When nothing makes sense.

Upheaval and neutrality,
A soldier going into war,
Conflicting moralities,
Poetry defines what they are.

Why I write poetry,
Is to right a wrong,
For racial equality,
Not for some, but for all.

One voice, one people,
Joined by grace,
Poetry is the rhyme and reason,
Defining the human race.”
― Sylvester Murray
