THE FLAG I NO LONGER WAVE

The flag I no longer wave

I no longer praise it, no I don’t,
I no longer call it, the Nation’s pride, 
Nor do I raise it anymore, it lost value.
No, it doesn’t hold its meaning anymore.

Unity became just a word, in political rhetoric,
The thread of ubuntu isn’t strong enough to-
Hold together the colors, my flag needs

I know lots of liberals who can’t seem to grasp
That they are in fact the fascists
Because they know they are of the Left
And fascists are of course of the Right.

These liberals I know are all smart,
Smarter than average, smarter than me,
But they are wrong about what fascism is
As they are wrong about many things.

But just

I taught my little daughter
how to ford the raging water.
And I taught my little son
how to calm a storm not yet begun.
Just so they would know ~ how it is done.

Square Peg, Round Hole

Catch them when they're young
and shape their tiny minds
by telling them to colour
inside the lines
kids are our precious resource
nurture their dreams for the future
break them on the wheel of control
and kill the spirit destroy the soul
conditioned at an early age
they'll be at a loss
when they're told to think
outside the box
complicit in your conspiracy
avoiding confrontation
it's not

EVIL IS THE DEVIL

The devil is afraid 
I told him to show his face
He's steadily hiding in dark
Plotting evil 
Taking me unaware, he's a coward 

If he can't get to me
He comes through 
Those are  close to me 
I use discernment 
So I don't hurt those that are prey to him.

His words are so soothing 
But his

MASTERMINDS

Freedom comes with a cause 
A price to pay
Only the brave pay dearly 
Due to the danger of suffering 
Even when you're doing your best 
It seems like you've done nothing 
Due to denials and oppression from opposition.

To be a mastermind
You must master your mind
Knowing what you're made for or of
Then surrounding yourself with masters

LESSONS OF LOST

In a blink of an eye
I lost everything 
But all hope is still on the most high 
They pour spit on me
Just because 
I never own what they need
But with faith 
Looking up to fate, I keep living.

Some people only got you
When you give or have
What they want or need 
Many don't know
The meaning of

STEADILY THINKING ABOUT THIS

Women will say it's men
Men will say it's women
They all throwing 
Shades at each other 
Defending their gender 
Tendering different agenda.

Women will leave their man
Because he cheated 
Then go to another man
Who's cheating on his woman 
What a irony... Circle keeps repeating 

Men will be telling several girls 
Same thing but different feelings 
Feelings depend

Time and Value

In the grip of Time, a silent flow,  
From Roman days to Gregorian glow,  
A dance of clocks, a crafted frame,  
A social construct, a human claim.

In the realm of Time, where moments wane,  
A social construct, we seek to gain.  
From Roman roads to the Gregorian call,  
We

Ceiling of doubt

I was told the sky was endless,
But mine was a feather away
A low lid of shadows.
Every step echoes in a room
That was never meant to hold me.

Still, they say, reach higher.
But my hands find only fog,
And my faith slips through it
Like water through open fingers.

In despair, or deep sleep
I open my eyes
But I’m blind
Feeling my

INTO ANOTHER WORLD

While I was meditating 
Then I started visualizing 
And I saw a world 
That world seems differ
Different and far away from planet earth.

Just like astronaut 
I traveled from Earth 
To that wondrous world
Exploring without fear of the unknown 
Then I emerge 
It's a civilized world 
Not a jungle world 
A world without war,  propaganda

BUZZ

It's so exciting 
Very amazing 
When you fall
Into the right circle 
They never leave you
Steadily thriving and standing 
With you no matter the season.

Always boosting 
Your confidence 
Giving you muse
To act not react
Giving you enthusiasm 
Enlightening you;
Discernment over discrimination.

There's nothing 
Compare to
Your authentic ones
Never pick any over you 
Always interested in you
Prioritizing your wants and
