Embarrassed and Shamed
I have said with pride all my life,
"I am an American!"
We will always be on your side.
Embarressment and shame,
Fill me every day.
Murder and hate crimes increase with no release in sight.
Failing abysmally with our...

Slanderella
She came down screaming, cloaked in flame,
A bolt of spite, no soul to tame.
From hilltop high she cast her spell—
The art of slander, taught too well.
They built her shrines in whispered breath,
In gossip’s grip, they danced with death.
Her tongue, a blade that cuts...

If love is a battlefield new song versionIf love is a battlefield
Sarcastic words
are launched
like glass hand grenades
Shattering her dignity,
she's bruised,
battered and afraid
When coming home
fills her with a
dreadful trepidation
When her words
walk on eggshells
trembling in expectation
Chorus
If love is a battlefield
then,
somethings not right
Home should be
a safe haven,
not cut like a knife
Oh,
if love is a battlefield
and there's a cry...

the failureThe Failure
It is about vanity, a need to see one's name in print
The shortest of glory, five seconds, ten?
Switch off at that point of glory, and the fame can last
until someone else demands to use the tablet
A book of poetry, published in a small town in India
61 pages, and the editor and owner of the...

It's Not OkayWhispers spread behind my back,
Like poison in a winding track.
To speak of me when I’m not near
Is coward’s way, and crystal clear.
I’m far from perfect, that you know—
But dragging me down steals your glow.
Words like knives, they cut and tear,
Leaving wounds that aren’t fair.
Respect begins where silence ends,
Not with betrayal dressed as friends.
If you have...

YOU MISS ME NOWsonger.co/song/epzclpaimyh9s5cai9h5ub15
[Verse 1]
I cried in the kitchen, you looked through me
I asked for your heart, you gave me your need
I stayed through the silence, through cold and pretend
But love isn’t love when it won’t let you in
[Pre-Chorus]
I held it together, threadbare and torn
You only looked up once the feeling was gone
[Chorus]
You miss me now, but you...

[Verse 1]
She walks in slow, like a storm that won’t break,
Got eyes like ash and a mouth full of ache,
Dressed to kill, in some kind of spell,
She’ll kiss your lips, then drag you through hell.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t need your love, don’t want your name,
She lights the match and walks through...

The Stone in the RiverThey said, “You’ll never change the stream,
Your plans are just a restless dream.”
But stones don’t fear the water’s voice -
they stand, they hold, they make the choice
to shape the flow, not drift away.
Around me, currents laughed and spun,
the gifted boats sailed in the sun.
Yet in the deep, I learned to stay,
to read the tides, to...

Modi of IndiaYou were not born of ivory halls,
nor cradled in the velvet silence of empire.
You were fireborn—
from the coal-scented dusk of a railway station,
where teacups bore the dreams of the underfed.
We remember, because you were once one of us.
Your hands held steam, not scepters—
yet rose to cradle Gujarat like a child.
And lo, from its weary bones
you...

Hard to Love, Easy to HateI tried
God, I f***ing tried.
To be liked.
To be easy.
To be the kind of girl
they don’t talk about
once she leaves the room.
Smiled soft,
spoke sweet,
let the sharp edges hide beneath skin.
Held their secrets.
Held my breath.
Held it together
when they left.
They called me fake
for being kind.
Called me a b***
for standing still.
Said I was cold —
because I didn’t beg.
And...

A tomato met a non-tuber plant
sweet music
a birth to what is known
as potatoes, these days also called fries
Just think if the tomato had not
been so unfaithful trying it on with
any passing plant
What would our diet be like
without the beloved spud
I read this in a paper that extols the free press
With the mild hand...

MESSAGE TO GHANAIANSGhanaians are beating
The drum of shame
For Nigerians
Which they will later dance to
Calling Nigerians in Ghana
All sorts of names, due to some misunderstanding
Now they're promoting hate just because of mistakes.
Ghanaians are on the street
Creating scenarios
Nigerians the villains
Forgetting they triggered it
Forgetting what their Ghanaians
Are doing to Nigerians as well
No country without...

Words CutToo many opinions.
Too many people sharing their minds.
Is it too hard to sit and think before you speak?
Don’t you think our own conscience cuts us down enough?
Or maybe you don’t care.
Little do you know, I am my hardest critic.
I want to do my best, yet my best isn’t enough....
