Why is there so much hatred in this world
People have different genders and colors oh,
What a beautiful rainbow the Lord
Has behold
Where is the love
The love from our heart
Why is it so much distrust
And discussed
Why do our friends, family, neighbors throw us
Under the bus
They ride, they drive they collide over us
Where is the love where is the trust

child hood prayer
i cry to u JAH
see tear on the eyes of the poor
see the inocent dead body on d street
see the cry of our beloved mothers
see the porverty in every side
see the lack of food, house, clothing not to talk of shelter,
see darkness every where, no electricity,
see the christian brother and sister dieing cos of religion and hatered
see the acidents cos of bad road,
see the men on black and black in d name of police killing the inocent,

When I was 17years
What is love?
Heart's rest, anguish of mind.
Or life of breaths.
The truth is this or cheat is its name.
What is love?
Come of love,to wait.
Or knowing,to hurt someone's heart.
The truth is this or deciet is its name.
What is love?
Increase of beats, harass every day.
Or even by wishing,never do anything.
The truth is this or compulsion is its name.
What is love?
The fear of the world, difficult trip.
Or really someone's hatered.
The truth is this or infidelity is its name.
What is love?
The one who is bigger than the
heart is called the same heart.
The lamp of love with his heart,
No one is extinguished.
Which is tight hearted, heartily,
That one regrets.
The one who is bigger than the
heart is called the same heart.
Who does love to all,
He is called God.
In his eyes,small,no one.
He wants everyone.
But people only shows
hatered against love.
Tell the truth,not by heart now,
no one want anyone.
The one who is bigger than the
heart is called the same heart.
When we laugh,moment two moment.
Then the world burns,from us.
How do somebody express happiness?
When in the neighborhood itself,
there is a hatered habitation.
We want,when much more to whom.
That make us cry again.
Why do we love someone?
When love does not even adopt us.
You cant imagine what you've done to me,
The girl who once loved to love
Now doesnt love at all.
All my beliefs and dreams you've shattered
Fairy tales and love? They dont even matter.
You dont know how it feels,
When the person you've idolised turns out to be a myth.
You've emptied me of all my hatered,
for you 'nothing' is the only feeling i feel.
I dont know how you even look at yourself,
Dont you see all the decieve and lies ?
The sins you committed under the blue skies?
'You love her ' you told me..
Where was that love when beneath you i was writhing?
You never promised me the world ,
But you could have atleast given me the truth.
Had you been half of the man i thought you to be,
I would have fought for you nail and tooth.
But now i lie broken and hurt ,
Not your fault i was just too easy to dessert.
I wish i could gather all that wasted love
And give it to the one who deserves ,
But because of you that wont be the case.
Because the girl who once loved too much
Now doesnt feel at all
Nothing at all.
Roll me up smoke me am i a drug now
because i see it differently in my eyes is that a flagrent foul
seeeing life pass you by as it is always surperior do i bow
I am who i am and that is
this obessesion with this life aminow of the world
hatered embetted in the roots
jealousy giving birth to envy
everything came yet from darkness first
so is it blackdarkness pumpin thy vine
am i a living breathing walking curse
so light came and put thingdin the visible
is this law is this law is this tatical
graphic messures in the deep
tails in tribulations travel with tragedy in black
a different persance felt in the steep where the light leads me
a new obessesion to know more of this new covering
no more enving to bring about its friend jelousy
no more walking with tragedy in black
Coming out of your dark
It is no place for me
Filled with anger and hatered
With me as your mark
How sad of a soul you turned out to be
With all the gifts that you had
The equation ended with a pompous cad
It isn't to late to trust in the Lord
Let him be the might in your sword
God Bless
Depression sucks so bad i know,
It effects me deep to the core and bones.
'Tis abusive therefore it treats me wrong,
mine feels as deep and wide, from here to Hong Kong.
It feels as though it lasts as long, as the length of the Great Wall.
Drastically effects emotions it does, You cant help but be pissy and cry,
And for no reason at all, you just want to die.
you breakdown and fall apart,
Ripped to pieces, and belonging to the dark.
Depression sucks so bad i know,
It effects me deep to the core and bones.
Finally at peace i shall be, as i kiss my hatered and my pain goodbye,
Im at peace now that it's time to die.
So i say this with my last breath for one,
good night my love, I'll be with you forever... Even when i am gone.
So at peace i shall be as i kiss my pain and my sorrows goodbye,
I am finally at peace and it is now time for that part of me to die.
Who do you feel like today?
Do you even remember my name?
It's been 8 years since then,
Has the willow tree we sat under gone dead?
I wonder if you've changed,
if you regret your biggest mistake.
Do you feel the sorrow i feel?
Is this pain the only thing that feels real?
I feel no sorrow now,
I only feel hatered for the world somehow,
How could you rape your granddaughters?
And Forget your own son, My father?!
How could you do this to me?
The only way how i feel now is to bleed.
I put no effort, no feeling, no thought,
In the war,
This battle in my heart
How do you feel like today?
Is it easier to know that your safe?
Outta jail they let you out,
Why so you can pay your road to hell?
So i plant me a willow tree,
right above the grass,
below the leaves.
I lay here below this willow tree,
My only friend beside of me,
The memories still remain,
Alone,
But it's better off this way
The roam the Earth,
Killing one by other.
They are demons,
They show no Love and Mercy.
And Faith herself could never save us.
For Hatered, Violence and Anger have become too strong.
The war that God is fighting,
The war that I ignore,
Is ended upon the final battle,
The final cold war,
It will soon be over.
And it will kill the world.
It never ends.
This pain, This suffering,
It never ends.
Everything is wrong, everything is wrong.
Hate is such a strong word...well taste my hatered and lie to me as you say a strong word does not belong with such a strong feeling.
You'll never know, you dont understand..
This will never end,
Never End.
the pain is real
my vains run cold
i slid across the gravel road
it hurt so bad
tears blured my eyes
people sat down to watch me cry
i burned my leg that fatefull day
the scars ramain till this day
i feel the hatered boiling in me
i want to explode
i want to scream
i dont remember mutch of my past
all i know is i never laughed
when i would id wait to see
what would then happen to me
i cry at night remebering this
the pain i felt without a kiss
A long twisted road,
I no longer have a soul.
I lost it the day,
I had to let you go.
A bitter young woman I have become,
My feelings now are only one.
The hatered I have torwards myself,
Closeness?
No, I can't let no one.
Please don't ask why.
Please don't try.
If you do, my reasons will only make you cry.
My heart has turned the color of night,
For me to love again, will be a great fight.
I hate everything,
Day and night.
So Dear Lord,
As I lay here asleep please end all this hate in me
and take my life tonight.

BEWARE
I am so deeply lost
In your hazy embrace
A maze of foggy half - truths
And misty quarter - lies
I am so disrespectful!
Spit angels in the face
I make stormy love to you
In courtrooms of the skies
I give promisses easily
Fearless of Judgement's Day
I follow the prophecies
I see in your blue eyes
But if you should betray me
I will teach you a lesson
About revenge and hatered
Of devils in disguise...
