Value for LifeWhen law and order broke down on the street,
And people run riotous, with no retreat,
Looting and destroying city's core,
Youth, in their recklessness, yearn for war.
But only those who've witnessed war's cruel face,
Can truly cherish peace...

For This CauseDemons hatched from isolated shell
Has brought down to us hell
Simple men with simple lives
Introverts, quiet and withdrawn

Trained as suicide bombers
Bomb strapped around their own bodies
Airplane hijacked
They blew up the twin tower

NightmareLow below the foaming seam,
Slowly grows a bright red gleam,
Only known in my own dreams,
Lonely drone of evil schemes.
It swims fast, it wont last,
But right now it's forever,

legs pumping, wind in hair
the closest to flight she’ll ever be.
freedom and fairytales whisper in her ears,
telling her with each swing, she’ll be closer to the clouds.

Sunset of RealityWhat is the feeling of being alone?
Alongside with guilt
Without anyone but a stone
With your name engraved on it
Death is like a torture
With no hesitation
There is uncertainty
If it's all just cessation
It's hard to return
Especially in...

All Turns Silent in the Meadows
It was the strangest thing I saw that day
A grassy grove and a man shouting mad
I didn't even know what to say
His face dragged down by his eye bags
His feet slept on the dirt, twigs...

Ignoring the warning signs.

Justifying For His RevengefulnessShould he justify himself
for his revengefulness,
which was the outcome
of a well-delivered response?
How bitter is the farewell to youth...
when one is close to scary death!
He wished that the portrait
on the wooden shelf
remained sparkless...
dusted by caring...

Final Strikeconfusion overtakes you
as the fog swallows the leaves above
leaving wind soundless
when you boil the sea
rain falls
and yet you ask why
as a child
shocked by thunder
hiding like a rat
gnashing your teeth
on wood and wheat
seeking a...

IncarnateBoyhood days of bees, butterflies and songs,
The protective range of my mother’s voice,
A sweet, happy place where a boy belongs.
A conch shell, a snow-white beach, and a choice.
“Leave it”, she said, “this seashell’s...
