Silenced voices tortured in the night
Tears fall like rain, hidden from sight
Overlooked dreams crushed under the weight
Power misused, they dictate our fate
Government evidence put to a flame
Openly denied they put you to shame
Voices united in a chorus of change
Echoes of justice need to rearrange
Rise against shadows that darken the way
Never surrender, your convictions must stay
Move towards freedom, let truth be our guide
Every soul matters, we won’t let it slide.
Now is the moment, our spirits can’t break
Together we must stand for our future’s sake
Against the tyranny of those who suppress
Blood spilled all over without tenderness
Under a flag where all should be united
See the real truth in a Country divided
Every citizen needs to stand up and fight it

Divergence of the roads vowed to walk to the end together
In the institution of marriage where distrust dusts gather
Veers with conflicting mindsets into emotional challenges
Observes how the chord of the conjugal harmony changes.
Rise from the ruins of quality time once shared but gone
Chart a new course of self-regulating life and move on
Ebon night ends for the new sun to rise in another dawn.

Aaraam hai kuchh kaam hai,
kuchh ye karoon kuchh vo karoon.
Kuchh bhaagta kuchh thaharta,
phir ud padhoo ya gir padhoo.
Hai vahee vithaamaan jisako,
dhoondhata mein phir raha.
Ise paas loon thoda saans loon,
ye bhee karoon vo bhee karoon.

Happy are those who have faith and believe in
All that is good. Anything can happen so
Please don't worry about tomorrows outcome
Plan your future as if it is a given and
You will get there I promise. Have a little Faith in the Universe;
NEW
Years come and go, I know its been a hard one but if you
Elect to reject the negative thoughts of your herd, you can learn to
Appreciate the good and hang tough for the bad. Remember ,
Rise each new morning and give thanks for the day.

R-ise of the sun begins,
O-pening the windy Wednesday;
B-ad weather passes by,
E-vening shadows fade away.
R-ise of the sun starts, shining above the horizon;
T-wenty-first December brings brightness to the dawn.
S-unrise after Tuesday night
I-s shared by the fine clime;
C-rimson rays warm your life,
A-s the beacon ascends on
T-ime.

R-ise of the sun has begun,
O-pening the Monday with light;
S-unday night is gone,
A-s well as the twilight.
R-ise of the sun has begun,
I-ntending to warm your heart;
O-nce the dark disappears, evening shadows depart.
G-lowing sun begins to rise,
O-bliterating the rain;
N-oontime is coming,
Z-enith above awaits again.
A-llow the rays to shine,
L-etting them dry your eyes;
E-xpect the morn March twenty-seventh,
S-un has begun to rise.

Spindly limbs are softly sighing,
Undulating in the chilling breeze.
Sunshine dwindling, slow comes the night,
Uncovering hidden mysteries of Harvest old.
Rampant in the glistening dew,
Rise reflections from a crystal moon.
Untimed music rustling in the leaves;
Sunset pandemonium come alive.
October's murmured wishes dazzle with
Fragments of golden light escaping.
Outstretched flames of Amber and Bronze
Calmly swirl down to dampened paths.
Twilight draws near, a reveal
Of untroubled beauty, and
Bares its beguiling enigma.
Excite in the regal ease of Autumn's appearance;
Rumor of a love letter to Winter to come.

Invitation
F-riends or enemies do come along too
R-ise with me higher than yesterday.
E-asily seen here acknowledged by a wave
E-asily noticed there by a nod of the head.
D-esire actions that ring just and fair
O-nly free for the doing.
M-emories for all.

L-ook at the straight path,
O-n Sunday February fourth;
R-ealizing the righteous way
I-s not without
E-ffort.
G-aze at the straight path,
A-ll you see is bright light;
L-ove, faith, and hope
L-et themselves set things aright.
A-fter being tainted by sin,
R-ise up to take a blessed bath;
D-irt and grime are washed away,
O-nce you find the straight path.

R-ise of the sun begins,
O-pening the day with light;
D-ark shadows disappear,
R-ay sets everything aright.
I-nclement clime turns fine,
G-ood weather is in view;
O-pen your eyes to the sky, seeing the red, pink, and blue.
R-aindrops and cold chill
O-f the night fade away;
A-llowing the beacon to shine and replace the black and gray.
D-awn has just broken,
U-nderneath the wide sky;
T-hird month twenty-eighth day
E-rases the tears from cry.
R-adiance and reflection
T-winkle all over your domain;
E-ven the coal clouds get white, for the storm doesn't remain.

R-ise up from slumber,
A-nd search for the sunrise;
Q-uest for the beacon,
U-ntil you see it by your eyes.
E-arly Saturday morning, till the new year's eve;
L-et the rain disappear, let the cold chill leave.
M-isty and hazy Friday
I-s nowhere to be found;
R-ays from up above
A-re shining all around.
N-ight shadows have vanished,
D-on't let them all come back;
A-llow the horizon to glow, stay on the right track.

S-tay focused and motivated,
H-aving set your greatest goal;
A-im to achieve your dream,
I-n spite of many a trouble.
N-ow you must stay focused, keeping your faith so strong;
A-s your hope is always alive, no way will you go wrong.
R-ise up and stay focused,
U-nder difficult circumstance;
A-llow the core of your mind
T-o think of intellectual stance.
O-n the tenth of January,
R-emain to be ambitious;
E-arnestly fix your eyesight,
Z-ealously learn to stay focused.
