Life is short
Life is short they say So you better make the most of it But what happens When that's not the case for everyone Where there are some Who are constantly changing freedom Whilst simultaneously hiding in the shadows Hoping to see tomorrow So how can one live life to the fullest When the odds are stacked against you But...

KEMET LIVES
Along the River Nile Lies a potent earth so fertile Before it met a sudden death In the cold hands of civilization. Now it lives only as a ghost Once a symbol of becoming A beacon of hope A name we carried like breath. They stripped her of her story Wrapped her in another’s image Called her ruins what was once glory And buried her truth...

The sacrifice of drowning so others could be saved
Empty, that's all she felt She hated the numbness that would blindly attack She did so much for others But she couldn't help herself She carried the weight of being black Where racism would slowly break her back She couldn't even go to a hospital they'd probably throw her out Calling her 'dramatic' Saying she should go somewhere else This...

Living finite lives in the infinite
Perhaps in wanting to understand We must abandon wonder Whether willingly for the sake of rigour and strength Or unwillingly surrendering to the unexplained In those bylanes in order to explain We study, observe dissect Practise reductionism to the last atom After that when the head rises up again Devoid of wonder, innocent lost It sees...

When the music died
When the music died It turned into police sirens When the music died It was like playing musical statues Without the music And forever stuck in silence When the music died It gave space for the gunshots And the screams that came after it When the music died The soul died too When the music died The world stood...

Four Small Lives
I lived in a cage. I loved it. The bars were golden. They were polished each day by hands that said they loved me. I never asked who locked the door. I lived in a pond. I loved it. It was shallow, but it mirrored what I wanted to believe. I never asked for more. The lily...

Premium Member He took so many innocents lives
He Choose to Grow Weak Could you help me understand the complexities of our actions? When joy fills our hearts, we radiate positivity, but when sadness washes over us, it feels like an ache that permeates our very being (Proverb 17:22). How can we support you if we remain in the dark about your feelings? You often...

Where Waiting Lives
It was one dusky evening. I stood at my balcony, The weather whispering secrets in a chill breeze Beautiful, cold, and a little stormy, The kind of weather that makes you feel Everything you've been avoiding. Despite the wind howling like a wounded beast, I picked up my sketchbook. Perhaps it was the ache of missing someone That made my fingers itch for graphite...

Premium Member I Needed just Lives
I needed just your life I met a woman. On the train. Magnetized My life, my heart. I hoped the woods of life I was a poor man. I am a poor man. No love No money, no car, no BMW, no castle. No woman “She is the daughter of a big man,” said Satan. This is true. Satan is right....

Nine Times to Die
Like a cat, I've nine times to die — and love has taken seven. Once, when you said my name like it was a question. Twice, when you answered it with silence. Thrice, when you loved someone else in front of me like I was made of stone instead of soul. I keep returning — from wreckage, from wreck, from wreck again. You don't know how many lives I’ve lost just staying alive next...
