BARRICADE
On scarred walls, memory torn apart,
Stones bleed the wear of harsh surrender,
Blood flows where echoes turn violent,
While disgrace suffocates all humankind.
Iron bites, the smell of lead commands,
Terrorist — the pain charged with disbelief,
In law’s name, peace is murdered outright,
Ashes speak, indifference is alliance.
Devouring colonialism, mask of innocence,
Justice bends beneath the shadow of pacts,
A martyr land,

Below zero temperature
wind howls at my cheek
I ponder braving the cold
No, I shan’t even take a peek
For it’s warm here by the fire
with you at my side
The hearth

I forgot who I was and no longer know who I want to be
All I know is I have become a stranger
Who is this person who is supposed to be me
All of the dreams I once had faded away
No longer important
Because I no longer feel the same way
All of the beliefs I once carried

Barricade Against Humanity
One fist in the air
With a candle in the other
The wax melting status
Of the lives that were smothered
Lining along with the march
If the cowardice was unseen
Then it was sure
There was nothing left to bother.
In the memory of the fallen
A father lost his daughter
Dragged by the collars
Her pain was greeted with laughters
With

Barricade the Sky - Night Owls Lament Iv
Barricade the hills against the sun.
It is coming,
to break down the doors of night
with a battary ram of fire and light.
It will break through the hills and towering trees
golden arrows ripping through the leaves
sending the panicked birds into the air.
It has come to kill the moon
to put an end to dreaming
to dry the dust
and

I built my shrine ...
My brittle heart, sheltered to hide
Choked so often by trust's entangled vine
Strong stones, placed side-by-side ...
I raised each wall sound and tall for my castle keep

On the community blog
I met this spaniad
Hello
Hi! Was the reply I got
Her profile captivating
My desire sprouted
What a beauty you are
An unspeakable clusters of letters displayed on my screen
What do you mean?
Hoping it was a mistake
But after repetition
I realised the boundary
We understood not ourselves
How I hope for a new lingua tongue
My heart wept
I couldn't express my

Barricade
The reason I build this impregnable wall not for comfort or safety
I’m just sick of it all
The lies so transparent tears all planned and staged
Turns this man of joy and benevolence into a caldron of rage
My thoughts you effect with such disregard spinning webs of lies
Like a spider with ease

Barricade
Obstruction of emotions
No one can see
This person i crawl into
Hidden inside, it is me
A mental paralysis
Locked behind something carefree
See a true emotion
Invisible is the key
A psychological blockage
Shutting everyone out i please
To feel the pain, unheard of
A midnight summer breeze
To barricade all sensations
Good and bad aside
I resort to secrets
Holding in these tears i cried
An obstruction of

each burdan that falls upon me i brush away
hoping like hell
that it will be diminished from my gaze
each burden that falls upon me builds up every time
i brush it away not being diminished
just moved out of sight
each burden that falls upon me
i want to run from
yet it still hovers above me
mesmerizing my mentality
each burden

Only At the Barricade
Only at the barricade
Shall our scores be settled
Only at the barricade
Shall they hearken to our cry
Only at the barricade
Shall our strength be more strengthened
Only at the barricade
Shall they be forced to shiver and quiver
Only at the barricade
Shall they handover our hangover
Only at the barricade
Shall the slaves look straight into the eyes of their masters
Only
