holding a Salvation Army red pot
Collecting inflated IPO fees 
at an illegal
dot.com parking lot

Always yielding to temptation,
is the armored...

Flashback To Present
The continuous memories scattered inside my mind
All the laughter and loving scenes are left behind
Leaving a life of bad possibilities where I came from
Never getting a chance to show how I overcome


Although it was bad...

The word, 'word', is more than just a mere word. 
"The play of words is absolutely beautiful." They say,
but little do they know that the words actually play.

There are only so many times you can go to a dry well,
Begging for water when you are dying of thirst.

No thoughts can be...

Premium Member Arent You Glad You Stayed In School
Do you recall being in school?
Learning many lessons;
obeying all of the rules;
absorbing each lecture and each page
of your textbook;
adding to your storehouse of wisdom.

If you stayed and finished school, you were wise;
It always pays to...

Haunting Me
By night I write in silence
like the quiet checkered board in the corner of my room
violently erupting my dimensional thoughts.
It haunts the hours I am awake,
through fake goggles of glory you think you see me

Controversy

Is social media's economy
Lies and confusion is the only way to make  money
Hating our neighbors but loving overseas
Blinding the sighted so now no-one will ever sees
Leaders of those nation, calling us enemies

Awaiting my call for my one last sight

As I walk slowly into this minimal room, I don’t want to look
A life has ended, now a closed book

My courage expands...

I
 I.

A staircase of dreams aligned in a nimble mind.
A specimen-proof of evolution to man-kind.

A closed book
Cohabilitated hindrance
Uneasy, complicated.
Same words of different significance.

You can never read my mind.
Humble enough to boast in pride.
A form of...

Odds and Ends
Lone in the nightmare of the day I dream
And go beyond its comforting stream
Around hopes fountain I phantomly sit
Confused yet happy at a dramatic skit

Wafting through the years with conditions
Dancing to songs of hope’s warm...

And here you are
on the end of a smile
that doesn't seem to fit
your face, caught
in the startle of a flash,
still and ageless
after all these years.

I wonder what thoughts
were in your mind 
when the shutter clicked

Colder
She is colder than
Most with emotions.
   With her it's  just going
Through the motions.

  Her womanly ways and 
Perfect figure.

Pulls the trigger.

The True Meaning of Beauty
I look in the mirror
and judge what I see
I stare at the outside
and assume that it's me
