Democracy is about freedom of speech
Anarchy is, without a doubt, the opposite
Of democracy, liberty and freedom to wish
To hope, to dream and to confront defeat.
Brothers, sisters, express ourselves as we wish
Never, never be afraid or fearless to tell the truth
If possible or reasonable, go on the summit of the roof
To tell it like it is, to exercise freedom of speech.
Democracy ought to be a celestial or divine gift
Love was given to us at birth. Don't practice hate
There's no place for racism or hatred on Earth
Life is about living until we meet with death.
Brothers, sisters, express ourselves as we wish
Fight for your birth rights to express free speech
Love will take us a long way. Love is about peace
Reconciliation, compassion, fraternity and justice.

The death penalty, a practice rooted in antiquity, continues to evoke controversy and ethical dilemmas in modern society. Despite its purported role in deterring crime and administering justice, the death penalty stands on shaky moral ground and should be abolished for several compelling reasons.
Firstly, the irreversible nature of the death penalty is inherently flawed. In a justice system prone to human error, the risk of executing an innocent person is ever-present. Numerous cases worldwide have revealed wrongful convictions, highlighting the fallibility of judicial proceedings. Once a life is taken, there is no recourse for rectifying such a grievous mistake, perpetuating an irreversible injustice that stains the fabric of society.
Moreover, the death penalty undermines the fundamental value of human life. By sanctioning state-sanctioned killings, societies diminish the sanctity of life and condone violence as a means of resolving conflicts. Such a stance contradicts the principles of compassion, rehabilitation, and forgiveness, which should underpin any civilized society's legal framework.
Furthermore, the death penalty fails to achieve its purported goal of deterrence. Empirical evidence suggests that the threat of capital punishment does not significantly deter individuals from committing heinous crimes. Instead, socioeconomic factors, mental health issues, and systemic inequalities often drive criminal behavior. Investing in preventative measures, such as education, poverty alleviation, and mental health services, would yield more effective and humane solutions to reducing crime rates.
Critics argue that the death penalty provides closure to victims' families and serves as a form of retribution. However, vengeance should not be conflated with justice. Studies have shown that the prolonged legal processes and endless appeals associated with death penalty cases exacerbate the victims' families' trauma, prolonging their suffering rather than offering closure.
In conclusion, the abolition of the death penalty aligns with the principles of justice, compassion, and human rights. By rejecting this antiquated and morally dubious practice, societies can move towards a more enlightened and humane approach to criminal justice—one that prioritizes rehabilitation, reconciliation, and the inherent worth of every individual.
One day we live, love, and die, in a labyrinth of illusions and lies,
Each waits, without time to choose among the shadows that creep in,
Truth wanders like a lost echo through the crumpled pages of the world,
Despair feeds on deep silences, like a bottomless well.
One day we give new names to old thoughts, like a ritual of silent transformation,
One day life tests us with all its shades, defying our balance,
One day we are both feast and waste, a spectacle of endless extremes,
One day reconciliation remains an impossible desire, an unfulfilled dream.
One day beggars and the very rich sit at the same table of merciless destiny,
At the gate of night, hopes and fears knock louder, demanding answers,
One day all are untethered, like puppets without strings,
Through darkness or sunlight, we seek our path among stars and mud.
Closer to darkness or to the sun, to the mire or the high sky,
What astonishing event still pains us, what deceitful games still call us?
We pause for a moment and seek answers in the depths of the heart,
For whom or to whom have we lied in this race towards the light?
Lives lived on the edge of a knife, with measured steps between dream and reality,
We search for our way through a universe of contradictions and unspoken questions,
Closer to darkness or to the sun, we find ourselves in every shadow,
One day, when all settles, perhaps we will find the simple, clear answer.
flesh of the flesh
all men were born into sin
painted by the same brush
in the garden of Eden
God has been somewhat disappointed
since He gave man free-will
for some of the choices that men make
are of hatred and ill-will
But He was not about to accept defeat nor loss
He sent us a sacrifice of blood on the cross
in order for Him to understand what was in the minds of man
His Spirit became a manifestation to carry forth His master plan
Jesus of Nazareth was God's missionary Son
flesh of the Father, The Appointed One
He came in human form so He could feel what man feels
He came to bring salvation so that man's spirit could be healed
but like most things that man can't completely comprehend
mankind tends to disbelieve and disregard them
we only seem to be concerned with our corporeal ways
unwilling to accept anything that's not evident right away
yet many have now come to finally see
that God is the Creator and Father of all humanity
Jesus Christ is the Son and Deliverer of our salvation
the Holy Spirit is the comforter of mankind's reconciliation
the Lord is our shepherd and we are His faithful sheep
our Father, our protector and of our souls He does keep
mankind has learned to see that to live you must have hope
and God gave us a solid foundation that will help us to cope
sins of the flesh, washed away by the blood
a new creation in Christ with God's unconditional love
God’s love is not a secret after all
His compassion never ceases to reign
granting eternal life midst mercy’s call
while supplying wondrous heavenly gain.
Along the Saviour’s love, surely divine
marked by pardon, always ready indeed
His forgiveness of sovereign design
brings repentance as heart from guilt is freed.
As the love of the Lord constantly glows
His faithfulness exudes radiant grace
manifesting abundant blessing-flows
that are for sharing against selfish brace.
Never a secret, since obviously bright
God’s love does shine well for mankind’s delight.
God’s love does shine well for mankind’s delight
expressing His goodness while bringing hope
vanquishing despair and gloom of sin-blight
with joy around reconciliation scope.
Exposing perfect care to the fullest
love from the Creator reaches each soul
drawing everyone to His blessings’ nest
through His gentle touch for fellowship goal.
Persistent to work for redemption bliss
love of the Almighty offers best gift
sure salvation from damnation’s abyss
paid by His sacrifice against hell’s rift.
God’s love, marked by longsuffering, so dear
reverberates sweet music to my ear.
Reverberates sweet music to my ear
is the genuine love bestowed by the Lord
melodious with kindness-message that’s clear
along generosity-practice chord.
That’s charity propped upon wisdom theme
building brethren for transformation leap
helping each one progress along love’s stream
as faith in the Saviour strengthens His sheep.
So may I pray for such love in my heart
to enclose me against greed, lust, and pride
conquering covetousness’ grievous dart
humbling myself before the supreme Guide.
This I declare, gratefully standing tall
God’s love* is not a secret after all.
*1John 4:9-10 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

i use to think that charmed
was an expression
until you appeared and
caught my attention
and like everybody else
i thought chivalry was dead
until i met you and with
my honor i plead
i use to believe
that love was so true
but in reality it was only
me loving you
and there was a time
that i truely believed
that if i used the right words
that she would never leave
i use to think that words
were my charm
i found out
and boy, was i wrong
i once believed that praying
would bring her back
but all that proved was that
true knowledge i lacked
and with my hopeing
i wasted my time
hopeing once again
she'd be mine
the time has past in which
i wished for my wife
long has it been that i had
a new life
some may ask
why i write of her tonight
it's only to tell her that
i found a new and better wife
The wind doesn’t have a plan
It doesn’t know where it came from
Or where it’s going
It just is, it carries itself
Like the memory of one in an aged home
Longingly she misremembers and in it frays
Where do we go now or do we?
Some repeat the same ragged line, over and then over
Your memory lingered as a hot blistering day
And the breeze of forgiveness carried
One of us had to let go so the wound could too
The reconciliation of the Holy Spirit healed the wound
And the Wind moved on in forgiveness
Most time your mind seems lost and words are spared
But the eye that sees me, burning my heart it has a voice
It tells me I love you with all your terrible faults ,deeds
Im your memory, wind and Mother and I will always hear your voice
In the darkest depths of the ancient grove
of ancient Ede.
Gnarled branches reach for the light
in confession plead-co-guilty.
Medusac Serpents ring outward in resounding query.
to a wormhole-echo-narium, ported to a moment,
of Original Sin,
The presenter, the stage, concessions made of therein.
Roots delve deep, delived upon a firmamented
pillar of origins in it's holding sleep.
Pre-enBarked-when life was smooth.
Where fruits preceded action, 100 proof.
Before the fermentation of intoxicating temptations.
Reconciliation will bear it's fruit as a token of bearings.
No longer withheld from holding oasic thirsts in it's vocationary phane.
The chapter written, co-auth, co-seduced, burned, turn the page.
One day this will all be restored and forgiven,
them.
The tree will hold out its branch,
and slightly sway in the Glen,
in limemoric romance, in that way.
Shall offer tempting delicacy to Adam and Eve,
and squirrels,
and a porch swing,
carefree in the night or in the light of day.
Life is convoluted
Coming across happiness and sorrow
Love and betrayal
Hunger and riches
Steering through the opposites
Consistency with the confrontations
Saps the solace
Tired and broken, no longer thoughtful
One counters the events
The wise ones see similarity in all
Allow the things to happen
Spontaneity breeds many paths
One continues to walk, brightness unfolds
Calm waters greet, spring returns
Past is past, oblivion overwhelms
Smiles, zest and thrill embrace
Bad is gone, good overtakes
Life is a game, reconciliation is the key
