Living With Ptsd

We were all trained to push the limits of the human barrier.
physically growing stronger.
Mentally developing professionalism.
Improvise, adapt and overcome.
A war-torn country is the birth of a squaddie.
The remembrance of the vast desert, the lush-us green zone.
etched painful memories to the soldier's daily life.
We stand together, tall and proud.
We cry together.
The heartless actions we carried out were not for revenge, not from anger.
For the greater good of human life.
At the setting of the sun.
The dead lye at rest, the causalities patched up, the amputees are on prosthetics.
But we all remain mentally scared

Solace In the Ghetto

As I stared out my project window into the streets were the predators never 
seemed to sleep and the dope heads that kept the neighbors in the private homes on 
pins and needles as they prowled the street, looking for the next cash cow to supply their drug needs. In the alley where we would play baseball during the daytime against the old trash bin, at night it served as the hiding place for the drug boys dope and guns…It’s sometimes hardto believe that decent people do live here in this place where I live, but they do. 

I don’t know how? But really they do, I swear. The alleyway was littered with so much broken glass on the ground, sometimes I would pretend that it was diamonds and would dream of running out one morning and picking it all up and then I would be rich like the people who lived in the private homes up on the hill. At night from my window in the summertime I could smell their grills cooking some expensive meat, that seem to overload my sense and make my belly growl in a hopeless thought that I might somehow get to taste it. 

In the distance sirens blare in the middle of the night as the ambulances race to the causalities of the night life. I can still recall those house parties that never seem to end, that’s until the men in blue decided to finally answer the calls and put an end to their night fun, but by that time they were all drunk and doped out or found a mate for the night…as they all spread out onto the side streets like cockroaches when you turn on the light and then shots rang out in the calm distance of the night. People scatter into the night. 

My eyelids are now so heavy I can barely hear my own thoughts inside my head. When all of sudden my door flings open, standing there in the doorway I can make out a shadow, I take a deep breath and continue to play like I’m asleep. Wow, it was only my mother, just checking in on her only investment for her future dream of a doctor or lawyer that would not have to deal with this mess, she shuts my door after seeing that I was okay…as she takes a deep sigh of relief, knowing she could take solace that her child was fast asleep.


So Called Dangerous Minds

They gives a us a voice, but don't want us to speak.
The president's black I bet he doesn't write his own speech.
Words that he speaks come the people that keep in unequal,
D.C. is evil the future is bleak.

Unless among us is a Malcolm X 
All for one and together we're stronger than the rest.
My mother strong ,God is our Father 
Jesus Piece lays on my chest.

Moment of truth what's left to be said,
word is bond
nothing is worth more than respect.
Which needs to be earned 
shots fired so I'm hitting the deck.

Deep in the street cracks is where secrets are kept,
Nikes on the feet of the ones who keep running for checks.
Turnt cheek to the causalities take a deep....
Breath after breath, war between us, love lost in between deaths.

Heroes

One day, two days, three days, four.
One month, six months a year or more.
Devastation and destruction the causalities of war.
Not knowing if tomorrow it’s death at your door.
Nobody really knows what each day holds in store.
Sights, sounds and images all burned into my core.
Death doesn’t care if you are rich or poor.
Blood, guts and tears, only so much you can ignore.
I sit and I wonder what is all this for?
Is it all just politics are we all just whores?
Forced to fight a battle, trying to settle a score.
What price must we pay, what price before?
We say enough is enough, the voices scream and roar.
Hearts have been broken, in half they are tore.
Friends, family and loved ones all of which implore.
Bring them home safely; let them walk through my door.
Let not what they are fighting for be underscored.

Africa's Cry

As the sun-kissed down,  people want to scatter
All of the time,  they are suspicious of the surroundings 
Gun sounds and  blasts heard and seen
It's  almost  tearing  the continent  apart 
If we don't  resort for a solution
The  problem won't become small,  it would  increase 
As a tumor cell that grows  from within 
We trust those who question our judgment 
Our choices  Is a discussion,  is that how it's suppose  to be? 
Can't  lie no more,  what's worth hiding? 
Yet it can be seen with a keen eye
Africa's  cries,  do you hear  or do you ignore? 

As we try to make steps,  they put a banana peel on the way
Tell me,  should we act with a blind  eye? 
Be deaf to those who speak the truth? 
Our girls  are been  taken by force,  can't  there be a way to get them  back? 
Our young men are been put to silence for bravery
Soldiers on the land,  patrolling where  they are comrades have fallen 
Counting  the causalities from the cause 
For a moment,  let's be silent
The 21 gun salute has to be fired

We pray for safety when a situation  comes
Is this how it should be?  Can't  really know
Don't  be the smart  one,  even you know you always question  yourself 
Children,  mothers and fathers  all in need
Dying  of hunger, thirst and cold
They told me to leave the world a better than I found it
Only for me to realize that we making  it worse
Mama give me your blessings 
Papa teach  me the ways of the Golden era
Ss Africa  pleads,  I also cry with her
Don't  worry  Mama,  thinks will change 
I know son, I wish they could see what I have seen

Draconian I

[The Cypress Is In Bloom]
The cypress is in bloom
I see the evil, the efflorescence of decadent doom
Eloigning, with thy clandestines of the Dead September's reign
My belovéd Penelope, abscond from the coven so deep, the glades of misery
We must face her in the grove, for arcany, the path we must take
She's in my mind, vaporously,
Lauding with my, dangers and fears
Lie, with ephermelcy's broken truths
Leading me go Cypress, Marigold
Immortally, willows, forevermore
Forevermore

[To Question; To Know]
My argentine silence, your only condonicy 
Ends with such eath
The Mockingbird in me--died
Resting in one ounce, an abundance of shame
With an infinity of joy
Exiled, by the ones, who give all, names
My breath starves for only more
The façade, the veil, the austerity dims with Aquarianlore 
She falls to her knees, why for?
Celandine she will be
Celandine is she

[Bead]
The lair within, free from their causalities of their sins
Shadowy primroses begin to grow, the season will never end
In there I dream to be like you, violet blue, White Flower of Lisieux,
La Fleur Blanche du Lisieux,
So Celandine are you
Celandine are you

[Draconian]
Draconian--Reach for the shadows within
Draconian--Break from The Fallen's Sin
Draconian--Their Empirical lies, only die
Draconian--Reach The Shadows Within

Eternal Battles: the Good, the Bad and the Within, Part I

PART 1: BATTLE OF ADAM
And here HE is dwelling through the pages of life,

Preparing for yet another skirmish

HE has lost few battles, among the causalities 

Were faith, competence and passion;

They were severely wounded and in need

For a rehabilitation period

Mend the wounds, and heal the past;

After all this wasn’t a mere opponent

But one that is stubborn and was set on a crusade to

Eradicate all that is bright and colorful

HE is petrified, nervous and worried

Worried of consequences HE can’t afford to loose 

Loosing would mean defeat to HIM



This is PART 1 of the Main Poem "Eternal Battles" 
I would describe this Poem as A Dark Period in my life where
I lost track of my identity and was fighting for it.

Invicible Exist

Let us journey 
In side unknown world 
Invincible people 
An entry 
Without exists
Narrow passage 
Decaying rose 
Gambler of life
Is there a way out ?

Riding in tunnel of life 
From spirituality 
To Disability 
Causalities
Wise word of maturity 

My blood 
Your veins 
To live in duality 

Resting and wave 
Floating Angels
Grips my hands 
Speck of light 
In this immortality

Causalities

Causalities

They lay in this bone box
Graves of the done.
Friends of pushed dissolution.

They express some guilt
But ran with spent nerves 
I back to my institutions.

This all from dual-polar,
my black and white mind
They witnessed my next reaction

Always peeks and gullies
Not plains, they live with
A place without my intrusion.
 
 Tiered of phone woe
Then the coin next day flip
 In giddy bounce, more irritation.

As I watch this new love die
Like this tear as it runs
Promise to keep on prescriptions

No Love On the Battlefield

Words of missiles
Blows from cannons
Swords in tongues
We had withdrawn apart

Unspoken strategies  
Mind of mines
Stealth attacks
Against one another’s heart

Gunshot smoke becomes the aroma
Of the atmosphere amongst us
Causalities in our bloodshed
Dormant our affectionate love

Love cannot survive in warfare
We shield our warm center graze
Cause of damage internally praised 
By the open hand grenades 

Blind to see our adversary
his annihilation in vengeance 
Precious life dying before sunrise
No waving flags in distance 

Time sails swiftly 
Duo soldiers still at war 
No arsenal, no ammunition
Peace constantly ignored

Clinch with knives 
Till one is killed 
Love must die to survive
On this insensible battlefield

Echoes of the Heart

lub dub, lub dub  echoes of the heart
just one sound that will tear it apart
its reins will tighten and choke the air sacks
fuselage lines squeezed  from the fortress of  plaques

the alarm is out to all cells standing in harm’s way
its possible they may not make another day
it could be sudden  like a viperous bite
that could send the body into a shocking flight

tunnels are  barricaded, tissues starving  for blood 
chemical stations are straining to get thru the mud
the flashing alarm has tripped, all  responders are rushing
anti coagulators gown up to intercede and begin crushing

sirens in the rescue bunker, corpuscles set out to quell
can they  get there quickly or will life end up in the well
detour routes are now flagged to allow an alternate flow
when safety is signaled all lanes will open and be set to go.

all commuter service has been put on red alert
predators do not interfere, let the squads tend to the hurt
second alarm sounded as there are many causalities 
the impact is enormous,  there may be reduced mentalities

life lines installed to improve the balance of nutriments 
also to flush out the exorbitant level of ill condiments
recovery is expected although time is of the essence
 mortality levels can rise post arterial strikes, during convalescence.

all teams called to aid in the tragic head on collision 
will undergo  precautionary measures for structural revision 
efforts were made with fortunate outcome without a fatality
all inhabitants within the vascular circuit now have stable vitality.

this highway thru hell  episode will be published in medical journals  
to exemplify what occurs to inbound route and to those externals 
echoes of the heart rely upon safety of all users of the track
drivers will have annual inspections for hazardous cargo like plaque.

this has been an  inside look at actual effects of a  heart attack.
and cast have been commentated for their heroic tributes.
the events has been edited for visualization  but are true to life

Aquarain Dream Iii- Children of Concordia

Used to be Controlled by a Tyrant of lies
Then one day  
The swift unseen knights 
Came and stormed all who
Deteste the Aquarian Wish 
 
Be Free and live long
we are the Children of Concordia
Nothing shall be in our way
 
Comely as what a Siren signs
Bravery of what a Lion brings
The Grey Haven lies beyond the mist
The Children of Concordia
They have no word for trist 
Will you let me join your world?
Will you open up the doors? 
 
A people of concord and more than they seem
They live in the shadows of an Aquarian Dream
A place of Liberty and Harmony
Ruled by magic and Lore 
 
Deep in the Golden forest of Clarity
Filled with enchanting tales
Of Immortality and evil’s causalities
You can find Eden’s people she said
what humans were meant to be 
 
Comely as what a Siren signs
Bravery of what a Lion brings
The Grey Haven lies beyond the mist
The Children of Concordia
They have no word for TristWill you let me join your world?
Will you open up the doors?
 
the safety of your real that could never fall
Comely as what a Siren signs
Bravery of what a Lion brings
The Grey Haven lies beyond the mist
The Children of Concordia
They have no word for trist
Will you let me join your world?
Will you open up the doors?

Our Expressive Self

Existential graph of 
graphical language 
Classical narrative 
causalities anguish 
Expressive instrument 
exposing our emotions 
Simple and untainted 
intuitive senses devotion
There is a glamour to it 
a perfection or symmetry
Creative imagination 
uncensored chemistry 
Breaking free from the 
confines of reality 
Thoughts give way to 
change in time actually 
Provoking insight into the 
depths of imagination 
Standing by ones own 
creative narration 
Visionary so liberating 
and disoriented
Leaving our words 
somber or animated 
Spectrum of our expressions 
gives one a completeness
Permanence of conquest will 
never embrace the meekness

Butterfly

She was just 8 years old
With freckles on her face
She was a little tom boy
Playing miles from the U.S base

Her name was parwana
 Means butterfly in afghan
She was like a little princess
Born in a cruel land

She was with other children
Just playing under the skies
But they look like terrorist
to a  robotic drone as it flies

So they all were killed
With bombs falling from the skies
Then Washington says on TV
It’s a mistake we apologize

We apologize for your lost?
How will that ease the pain?
Of the parents not seeing
Their little love ones again

Her mother cries oh god
Why don’t you kill me instead?
How can I live now? 
That my little butterfly is dead

These are our children
Not a horse or a cow
Go look your self in the mirror
Who are the terrorist now?

 The British prime minster
Says the terrorist will be beat
From his press conference
From NUMBER 10 Downing Street

The white house says
There will causalities of wars
While all the war mongers
Are safe behind their doors

Her father mourns her death
Till his cant live no more
So he drove a car with bombs
Thru the green zone door

There are good and evil
And we know what evil do
But when the good do the same
Then who is better than who

The lives of the innocent
Are being taken by both sides
And today there was a butterfly
Who will no longer flies?
