The Caged Bird's Song

I know why the caged bird sings
For I have felt its pain
Its wings are clipped, its heart in strings
Yet it sings out in refrain

Amidst the darkness, it finds its voice
Its song a bittersweet melody
Its piercing notes reach up high
A call for freedom, for liberty

Oh, how it longs for the open sky
Where it can fly without resist
Where it can soar, spread its wings wide
And feel the wind upon its breast

But for now, it is trapped within
Its cage a symbol of its plight
Yet still it sings, with all its heart
A song of hope and of sheer might

For though it may be caged in
Its spirit can never be broken
And as it sings, it reminds us all
Of love, of strength, of words unspoken

So let us listen to the caged bird's song
And let it stir our souls within
For in its voice, we'll find the courage
To rise above our own cages, and begin.

Take Me Home

Take me home, to where the fields are green
Where the skies are blue, and the air is clean
To the place where my heart and soul belong
Where the peace and love are forever strong

Take me home, to where the rivers flow
And the mountains rise, with their majestic glow
To the place where I grew up, and learned to be
A person of worth, in this wide world and sea

Take me home, where the laughter echoes loud
And the voices of loved ones fill the crowd
Where the memories of childhood still reside
And the simple pleasures of life are never denied

Take me home, to where my spirit can soar
And my heart can once again truly explore
To the place where I am free to just be
Where my soul can dance, and life feels worry-free

So take me home, to where my roots run deep
And the soulful connection I forever keep
For in the essence of home, I feel alive
And that's where my true spirit will forever thrive.

Jair Bolsonaro

Amidst the storm of public unrest,
Bolsonaro took charge in Brazil's nest,
The race for president was questioned with zeal,
But Bolsonaro won, his opponents left to reel.

The world was watching, hopeful in wait,
For a leader who'd bring change, hope and fate,
But as the years passed by, it became clear,
This president was not the one, it was all a veneer.

Ignoring science, dismissing experts,
He touted lies that were by vested interests,
His stance on COVID was met with disdain,
Yet he led a motorbike rally, with thousands of brainwashed beings.

As the world suffered, as death tolls grew high,
He chose to play politics and let people die,
Instead of taking action, he traveled to and fro,
From Florida to Brazil, with no real sense to show.

Allegations of property acquisition followed suit,
Contradictory to ethics, with more than a moot,
For a sum rather small, compared to what it cost,
To neglect COVID, Brazil's economy had been lost.

Entrance to his home was made, to look for proof,
Of false jab cards, amidst his group that were aloof,
The world looked on, wondering how this could be,
As Bolsonaro remained, a failed presidency.

In times that test a nation's might,
It's a leader's job to guide, to stay upright,
But as Brazil stumbled, Bolsonaro fell,
Leaving a legacy of shame, for all to tell.

They Say He's a Loser

Lulu De Silva they say he's a loser
That he's not worth a dime 
But they don't know his story 
Or the battle he won over time 
They see him as failure, without any real success 
But they don't know the strength he has
Or the way he always does his best
They judge him by his looks 
Or the mistakes he made before 
But they don't know his potential 
Or the passion he has in store 

So let them call him a loser and underestimate his power
For with each critic and setback 
He grows stronger by the hour 

He will show them what he's made of 
And prove them all wrong someday 

For a true winner is one who rises 
Despite what others may say.

Oh Hate Hateful, Hate

Hate, hateful hate, how doth thy poison spread
A venomous fang within the human heart
That doth darken all thoughts of light instead
And tears friends and lovers far apart.

Thou art a curse, a bane upon our race
A devilish spawn that doth thrive on spite
Thou bringeth sorrow to our mortal place
And turneth hearts from warmth to bitter might.

When hate doth rear its head, all love doth flee
And reason's voice doth falter and grow weak
Our eyes are blinded, and we cannot see
The havoc wrought, the peace that we bespeak.

So let us shun this foe, this deadly lure,
And seeketh love, that doth make our hearts pure.

Fake Love

What once felt like a magic, now feels like a lie 
As I uncover the truth, a tear falls from my eye 
Your love was a mirage, an illusion I chased 
And to find out it was fake, leaves me feeling misplaced 

Like a child with a toy, you played with my heart 
Toying with my emotions, you were so slick from the start 
Leading me on with lies
As I'm left picking up the pieces, picking up the ties 

Your agenda was selfish, your intentions was unclear 

You kept your true intentions so very near

My heart now broken, by the love that you fake
And it will take time to realise this on my own timetable fate

In the end, my love proved true 
But yours fell short, beneath my view 

So here's to moving on, finding new love.

Screen of Awareness

In this world of screens everywhere we turn  
We're glued to them, our attention yearns  
The bright screens beam and flash all day  
Hypnotizing us to look their way  

But what about our screen within  
Our own awareness, where to begin?  
The screen within is just as bright  
If we look inward and shine its light  

Our thoughts and emotions, all on display  
On the screen of awareness, they all play  
We can step back and observe with care  
To see what's happening, we become aware  

With practice, our own screen can grow  
And we begin to see and know  
What's truly important, what's our truth  
And we act with intention and in our youth  

The screen of awareness can guide us through  
The chaos and noise of what we pursue  
It helps us see the beauty in life  
Beyond the distractions and strife  

So take some time and turn inward  
To your screen of awareness, it's a treasure  
It can show you the way and keep you true  
To yourself and what's most important to you.

Life

Life is a journey that we all must take 
With twists and turns, it's never straight 
We face challenges both big and small 
And sometimes we stumble, sometimes we fall
But life is also beautiful, full of wonder 
With Joys  and pleasures we can't help but ponder
We find love and friendship along the way 
And memories that will forever stay
We learn and grow with every passing day
And as we age, we find our own way
Life is a precious gift, meant to be savored 
So let's cherish each moment, unconditionally favored.

My Love

My love for thee doth burn like brightest flame
A fire that doth consume my very soul
Each beat of my heart bears thy sweet name
And in every thought, thee doth play a role.

Thy beauty doth surpass what words can say
Thou art a vision of Heaven's own design
In thy presence, I doth ever wish to stay
And with thee, I am content and ever fine.

My love for thee shall never cease nor tire
For thou art the missing piece of mine heart
And with thee, I feel a joyous desire
That nothing else can ever hope to impart.

So let us walk together, side by side
Through life's journey, with love as our guide
My sweetest love, to thee will I confide
I am forever and always by thy side.

Love's Melody

My heart sings love tunes, sweet and pure
A melody that echoes through my core
It resonates within my soul
Filling me up, making me whole

With each note, my love it grows
Like a flower, it blooms and shows
Its petals soft, its fragrance pure
My heart's love forever will endure

It's like a symphony, playing inside
My heart's love, impossible to hide
It spills out into the world around
Like a beautiful, sweet, and heavenly sound

When I'm in love, my heart is light
My soul is free, my spirit bright
For love is the melody of life
Its sweet refrain free from strife

So let me sing my heart's sweet song
And let my love be felt, and never gone.
