My hope was my delight boundless,
Unfettered, unbridled!
It unfolded a conformity in my life
Albeit many stumbles and
Discords of life I survived,
Life’s evil breaths had scalded my redolent hope,
My silent words were hardly heard,
Hardly understood!
From life to life I pursued the hope,
It was crumpled, dead and alive again!
A south wind once blew over me, it brought the
Herald of hope, my hope was enough to affright
A dystopia filled with greed and elitism,
Unwavering were my subdued instincts to my hopes
And desires in delights and despair,
They evoked me desperately to sojourn
For a while in this chaotic earth to acknowledge
Its rendition of humanism, its entente with mankind,
I found for certain, my hope had to
Strive more to win out!
Search of Peace
The love which we seek for others
It only gets lost for us
The breath we breathe is just painful it seems
Heavier we feel it’s just a start
The life which we have are just surrounded with profanities
Little to fear as hearts are plonk
The soul we have just made for jostles
Fostering are tried but nothing came up
The dissemble of heart will go for a fraudster
Reiterate will done who are not snobs
The scathing will just prove schism
Tolerance a big deal may come with entente
shift of power
those who have it
to those who dont
the tables turn
and at the center
we hold these six coins
among reflections of life lessons
truths and blessings
shuffle my deck clean
the marble in my brain is rolling around
sabatoge the war efforts before the sentence
hiding in the shadows
hiding in the shadows
incomplete
never mind
its nothing
bones on flesh
birthday songs
whats my name
hear them sing it
the transformation
propoganda
around the world
and the blood on our hands
stalking chaos
picking my teeth
caviar and fame
what i have you dont
scramble the message before its too late
call for help
reaching out
better late than never
the child called it
mastermind the double entente
now shake my hand and walk the other way
plague for the royalty
a game to play
a game for no fools
waiting for that day
was the victom
was the martyr
but enough is enough
what did god give the queen to save the king
stamps and coins
making our own money
never mind anything
spoon in my coffee
no sugar today
flesh on the bones
colorblind
and in a funk
what did i forget from the last perfect life
something only stars could say
happy birthday
A phrase that transformed our race
A speech that took us to war
An act that broke down barriers
A declaration that divided nations
A shot that fired our imaginations
A shell that tore us apart
An entente that offered us hope
A pact that drove us to despair
History is
A moment that defines our world
The collective memory of our humanity.
The ape was a mimic
So badger pestered him
A dog tricked the fox
And followed him to crow
This boast to a rat
Was betrayed ...by and by
Tampering with its meaning..
was a monkey...on the sly.
