from the naked wall, all our goods
pawned for the cause.

It was a universal eve
When the world was sparkling the sky
With thundering shouts of joy
To greet the arrival of a saint
Who staked...

Women RevoltWeaker sex we’re known and termed,
We are made idle like lexis
Without structure to construct sentences.
They treat us as infants for we’re fragile;
To rear offspring we’re considered fertile
’Tis then we would be teased as agile.
Stop creating professionalism based on agile from fragile,
We’re gifted as you...

The Oddball Relative Holiday RevoltWhat about this year,
where will I go
I'm not like them
They're just for show!
I'm losing heart
I used to care,
they never write
or call, or share!
The persons that I love the most
are far too busy to play host
it just goes on ~ year after year,
they're doing well, while...

Revolt of the Black SheepIn a sea of white lives one stone of black.
I'm not like the others,by color or my acts.
Many seem to run and others seem to crawl.
But I prefer to walk until I fall.
My heart is slowly churning inside a white abyss.
Why do all the other...

Whilst latched beneath this fierce demon
Whose gaze was as dreadful as his soul
My tide of revolt to be free ended
With the echoes of...
