Good Gang Versus Bad
theres two types of gangs to join 
you dont have to flip a coin 
to know which one that you need 
once gets you in trouble 
the other helps you succeed 
the gang at school is called a club 
it keeps you off the streets...

Premium Member Greatly
I glanced at him on his knees 
donning tears and a robe
wiping bullet and blood off the streets.

He slowly made his way toward 
the broken business zone. 
A worn carpenter's belt in tow
a soft light was around him
as the crowd began to grow.

He helped the...

Big City Life I See You
Looking out onto to the glare off the streets, it almost appears as if the asphalt were a 

sheet of glass, as the rain pours down on the street. I see them but they hardly even 

notice me. Another cold winter has come and gone...

Premium Member On Halloween - Monotetra
On Halloween the children play,
Dressed in fun costumes they sashay,
Through neighborhoods at dusk of day,
They make their way, they make their way.

Pirates and faeries, witches too,
Zombies and cats meet Scooby-Doo,
Darth Vader, Yoda, ghosts that boo,
Displayed for you, displayed for you.

"Trick or Treat," all the children...

The Flicker Fusion Threshold
If I were to swagger off the streets
Some gangster as I perched the skulduggery 
Of my litany in glitter and smoke
An ageless vandalism to linger unknown
While I sneer from the lounging corner of your TV

Would you recognise me

Though I slide sheathed in the flags and...

Premium Member Victorian Poverty In London
Victorian Poverty In London.
.
Slumming it in adverse poverty
In Victorian London’s  
Limehouse White Chapel and Bethnal Green 
Dingy doss houses packed to the brim
Narrow dirty streets with cobbles
And loud cartwheel din
.
Large families sharing one room
Overcrowded Cold and damp 
Many children to one bed
Lit by candle...

To the Leaders
As a Politician 
to get re-elected 
you want the world to love you
as a dictator

ruling your people 
you want your country at peace
you can attempt to use force
you can create prisons 

to locked up the people 
that argue or fight against you
yet how much better...

Daddy, Where Do Unicorns Come From
Well son...

It all began in Fairyland
In the lab of the mystical toads
As trash throughout the land had gotten way out of hand
Along side of the pixie dust roads

The system they had wasn't working
Leaving empty all the garbage cans
And everyone of the Fairies backs were hurting...

Let Us Be Free
The music is my destiny it 
brings out the best in me 
when I'm in the booth its 
like I can feel everything 
my senses getting 
heightened no longer 
feeling frightened its just 
me and the mic got me 
feeling enlightened 
providing inspiration to the...

Be Thankful
Be thankful for the planet we live on.
Be thankful for the families we have.
Be thankful for the countries we live in.
Be thankful for the money we earn.

God gave us peace on Earth.
God introduced our moms to our dads.
God gave us many cultures to learn about.

Premium Member Getting the Poison Out For Good

The faster the clock ticks
The faster my heart beats
The lights got me feeling sick
And facing defeat

Words splashed across the wall
From splattered vomit this morning
A monument to all who said I'd fall
If I died would they all be mourning?

It's selfish but I did it to me
Drink...

A Stand For All

Here we are living in this unknown world. Whatever happened to the land of freedom? Discrimination, harassment, policing and outrages crimes, carrying that tune of overshadowed and political lies.  We want to reflex on the constitution of the United States we...
