Queen of Queens

The sun that poured wisdom brightened our days,
The moon that shone overnight straightened our ways,
Queen of queens, innocent soul purely hearted,
A heroine in our lives has departed.


Had a tongue that was filled with laws of kindness,
No one matched with you your highness,
Who is worth to try on the crown you wore,
Built castles to the seeds you sow


Your weapon of vengeance was to keep the silence,
Peace and calm thoughts that envied violence,
Armed with words of truth,
That shaped our childhood to the days of our youth.

You quenched the thirst of dry souls, 
Warmly welcomed both friends and foes,
Rightly imparted advice to those in need,
Open minded you were and nothing you hid.

The grave has grabbed God’s given gift,
With thanks and praise His name we uplift,
For making us sons and daughters of the queen,
Queen of queens, what a great ruler you’ve been.

Why Shouldn'T We

Why shouldn’t we,
Make the unhappening a reality unfold,
And speak out the truth not yet told.

Why shouldn’t we,
Become real and rise where we ought to be,
Glitter and shine like stars for every eye to see.

Why shouldn’t we,
Paint perfect pictures, the present to forecast,
Roar with loud sounds to wipe off the dust,
The dusty air that blinded our brethen’s souls,
Wipe off the outcast who made us bocome foes.

Why shouldn’t we,
Become what others couldn’t be,
Uproot our enemies coz they shouldn’t have been.
