Am just but a foriegner ,in this vile land,
I find no comfort,i see no peace,
This is alien,the food tasteless,
The water salty,the trees dry quick.
Am just but a traveler ,passing through this valley,
No hope nor future,am doomed to death,
I cant uprooot a grass,the mountains i cant shake ,
The custom is weak ,their grace a nuisance.
Am just but a sailer ,in this violent sea,
Currents beat strongly ,wind betrays me,
Pirates rule this world ,justice a treasure not found,
Rest is scarce ,profit is refutable.
some hypocrites
are singing,
"Love "
at one hand
and supporting rules
to terminate
other folks
at other hand.
As they always
want to be riches
and manage to protect
their illegal resources
by killing poor people
systematically
and seizing
their belongings
daily.
When victims of world
Injustice system
Speak the truths about it ,
Beneficiaries of the system
Always laugh at them.

The world is ending, I see it in my dreams while I sleep
Homeless people fill up the streets, looking for a buck to eat
Only feelings of despair and defeat
There are drug filled streets only a few will meet
Some that kill, some that heal, and others tend to leave
The world is ending, I see it in my dreams while I sleep
The world used to be, sort of technicolor to say the least
Now, there's a price to pay in order to be free
I see, only feelings of despair and defeat
What a cruel world we live in
A world led by Satan
A world so confused,
that is so filled with ruse
Oh, you think, at least there is a little peace
But there’s still wars in the middle east
The poor starve, while the rich feast
Abortion rates have increased
What a horrible place to be
Where people are so unruly
and sin abound truly
Why can’t anyone see, maybe I’m just an anomaly
The world’s falling apart
and no one realizes
The hatred’s off the charts
before our own eyes
But what can we do in the midst of this crisis
Well it’s prophecy, gotta wait till it’s accomplished
Until then, we’ll follow Christ and do what is righteous
So in judgement before the Lord, we will be blameless
"How would you describe,
Your feelings inside
If you were to calculate their meaning,
For each that you were feeling
Wondering about life,
And which emotion describes it right
How would it seem,
This impact on our being
Emptiness at the helm,
Lost or overwhelmed
For you don’t know,
Which way to go
Butterflies and excitement,
A giddy contentment
Of a spark that ignites,
A fire that incites
Satisfying events,
Or those to forget
That bring you success,
Or the need to confess
The desire to nurture,
Or yourself to reassure
A friendship to restore,
A love walking out the door
Happiness for what you’ve gained,
Or the heartbreak of a memories pain
Feelings which affect our heart and mind,
I hope this cruel world will be kind
For each lesson earned,
More about myself I will learn"
It is a cruel world out there
But, we must find the strength to live
It cannot stay cloudy forever
Something has got to give
Everyone goes through the struggle
That is where we learn the lesson
Take things one day at a time
So we can receive the blessing
life isn’t fun
infact it’s very stressful
sometimes you want a gun
cause it’s hard to be successful
I can’t deal with the work
I don’t want to waste all my time
just so that one day
I could be sublime
in the world’s eye’s that is
that’s what we have to live up to
the world’s expectations
here is a little preview
perfect skin
perfect shape
when we all become twins
the expectations change
and yet we all still follow
the ways of this cruel world
it’s hard for me to swallow
the ways life has unfurled
Cruel world!
we are always changing for others
suffering for them
satisfying them
but we most never get a return
we hurt ourselves much than we know.
If expressing our genuine feelings is now a worn-out sin
And by being what we really our becomes our personal burden
When their prejudice eyes becomes the eye of the world we live in
Where will we place ourselves then, if we’re just innocent victims?
It’s scary to comes out from a self made closet
When coming out makes you a dirty, sick puppy who just sit
Sit and let the world crushed your whole being
So better stay on that closet, lonely but humane in being
Their invading judgments and disrespectful gestures towards us
Are the things we are afraid of, things that poisoned us
Sometimes too much from them wants us to fight them
But how could a sick puppy beats a hungry lion from its century old den?
We just want us to find a place where we can be us
No cursing eyes looking us, no one spit us unjust
We want to play our own part and live as you live
I know it’s not easy but I still believe
So I dream of a world where we are proud and can shout it loud
Where we can dance and express, love and be caress
We’re soon to be there though it’s kind of hazy
But never will I stop praying until we’ll be on that very day
Never will I stop. . .
Staring into the mirror
Having no idea who is staring back at me
When i look in the mirror all i know is the reflection i am seeing is sad
Very sad
The reflection
It looks lifeless,
Exhausted because this world surrounding it is so cruel
Cruel to mind
Cruel to the soul
A lifeless vessel
Waiting to expire
Waiting for the pain to stop
It never does
The pain never goes away
Goodbye cruel world!
I won't miss you when you are gone.
I'm looking for a better place,
Where I feel like I belong.
Goodbye cruel world!
I'm not sorry you have to go.
I'm looking for the time,
when only love and peace will grow
Goodbye cruel world!
I won't miss all of your violence.
When finally joy reigns supreme,
And all hatred will be silenced.
Goodbye cruel world!
Good riddance to all your badness.
There is an end in sight,
to all mourning, pain and sadness
Goodbye cruel world!
So long to you and your ruler.
Be happy your judgement day,
doesn't come any sooner.
Goodbye cruel world!
I won't miss your evil ways.
God's Kingdom is at hand,
His new world is here to stay.
John Derek Hamilton December 08,2014
Let me start by saying "Screw the world!"
All the people in it. Every boy and girl.
I'm forced to stand here and endure all this traumatizing stuff that's right outside my door.
All I see is nasty whores, and crazy methheads.
They would be better off dead.
Somewhere face down in a ditch. I'm makin' the bed.
I'm seeing red and it's been that way for awhile.
I got the heater next to me, bout to spark the lighter.
I'm about to clean this town.
That's just how I'm feeling now.
I don't see no good, nothing to make this angry face smile.
I guess I'll keep pushing on.
On to the next one. Fire up the good then pass it to me,
so I forget all about my worries.
I need it in a hurry, cause my mind is getting kind of scary.
Tainted souls and Twisted minds
Unfair world.
Vicious trolls win the polls
Withering honor that once stood strong
Yet Hope persists to right the wrong.
Sure all we can do is our best in the end
like forgiving him as he knows not the trial of untruths
Justice of his curse why condemn someone wrongfully
Now that really hurts deeply branded as something
I am clearly not as God is my witness
slept on the streets even then
did not steal or beg it speaks for the person
I was brought up to be in God's eyes
Lost everything in business from pride one demon fell
humble and meek lessons in life learned
now judgement falsely against me falls one very heavy burden across shoulders
this was around the time my poor son was in Great Ormond Street Hospital
After his heart by pass enough on my plate God granted a miracle
this time it was like Hell on earth part of nightmare opening deep wounds
rotting injustices of it all Donald Duck taxi driver from a different world
they believe a Micky mouse story cannot work it out in my head
