I need words to catch this fire, this burning that eats me alive like a wolf in my chest, this storm that turns my bones to water. But words give me only small, broken things: love, need, want each one is a tiny box trying to hold the sea. Still, I shout, because this love is a wild horse kicking to get out, the sun breaking open...

They inhale the poisonous substance, adduction had no power over resistance; their brain's responsiveness is too slow: look at them: their glance is so mellow! This is the offspring of the floating potheads, they renounce everything that means strides; they sit in a relaxed pose with mindless eyes: soldiers fight the wars, while they enjoy puffs. " Vacant glances and sunken...

An old man once said: Freedom isn’t free As a child, I grew up, never understanding those words. As an adult, I learned, the tree of freedom is watered with blood. I thought we had paid enough. But as trees wither without water, so does freedom without its tribute. As such I hoped, we could pay with sweat and duty. But once again-we choose red......

It's right out in the open for everyone to see ~ puppets bought and paid for dancers strung and played delusional parrots with microphones hostages read the demands of a madman while maintaining somewhat of a poker face It's never been so obvious : integrity has its price....

We're mannequins peering from a storage bin. We slouch across from the "No-Food" paper sign. Its message sags to a pulp taped to the shoulders of a glass door. Shoppers, incoming, their shared orange squirts juice. Our mannequin-custodial grins bar us from the lips' sweet 'oh'. Crowdsourcing emboldens shame, our French kisses hung on tangy wind chimes breezes tongue.....

The human race, the most successful dynasty on earth. Five-foot titans, jaws gaping, eyes too wide to see their own reflections. Apex predators. The first to fall were the animals shadows with breath, their bones paved into myths. Then the land, bled dry to raise glass towers, trees fell disgusted by the massacre. The human race, the most...

I ran not out of fright, I ran not because I was chased. I ran not because I felt compelled, Nor from some urging to flee from something or someone. I ran not because others did, I ran not because I'm an idealist at heart. I ran not because...

[Verse 1] The lithium, the satellite The blood moon in a sleepless night The reels you posted, burning bright Still echo in my chest The AI wrote a lullaby The sea caught fire, the wires lie But somewhere deep behind my eyes She dances like the rest [Chorus] There she goes, my beautiful muse There she goes with nothing to lose There she goes, and I light...

They claimed this world, Its not what it seems to be. So it started to unravel, bursting at the seams. So I lied in a wake. Unable to slip away. So I'm begging you now go back to sleep. counting your stars while they poison your sheep. Once the wave is set it's doomed to repeat. Thats where they linger hidden within your dreams. Just waiting for...

The greatest snakes is not in the woods, Rather, it lives in the family Or in the circle of friends. In this life, whether in work, Family, feelings or friends Honesty is still the best policy. Those who are not tried in the fire, Are worth not for gold but a metal They become Judas, Ananias and Sapphira. The love of money always betray...

Sometimes, it is in the most difficult times That the strongest leaders are born. Not by chance. But crisis, Vision, and transformation. Look at the life Moses in Egypt, He was born out of circumstances. Out from the Jews united aggrieved prayers In Egypt Pharaoh's wanton slavery of the Jews. Look at the life in a beehive without a Queen. The ordinary workers...

Take Off The Mask Running from pain? Hiding from a ruthless society? What have we become? An outcast Always offended Take of the mask Be your own man Set yourself free Don’t be molded by hate Don’t follow the crowd Walk on your own road Just be you Don’t need many friends You can’t...

"There's a river meandering through the mind," older than the Englishmen who raised a bridge over its Constitution, a nude Indian sped away from a warring Englishman behind absconding by canoe to an adjacent isle but smallpox caught the indie afore ammunition "There's a river meandering through the mind," that witnessed the grapes of wrath in '37 and suffered its wine,...

Elders sit at the fire place Members of parliament sit at the parliament Pupils sit in class room Students sit in the lecture room He that sitteth at the fire place of the elders Should not sit to gaze But keep the fire burning Collecting firewood Lest the fire burnsout New students light up a candle From...

Beat the drum softly, and beat it with heart, Lay down a rhythm that rises from soul; Small though indeed is the size of our part, That which it is, we can still play in full. Loud are the clashes that crash from the street, Ominous thunder that thrashes from storm; Myriad pacing of multitude feet, Let still not chaos be your...
