Premium Member The world feeds on tragedy, with an insatiable hunger for misfortune
The world feeds on tragedy, with an insatiable hunger for misfortune, They demand confessions, not out of care, but to dissect and devour the soul, When I reveal my pain, their eyes become glassy with disgust, And their pity drips like acid on my open and bleeding wounds. Perhaps that's why I've made my sadness a "nameless grave," A place...

POSTLIFE TIME
Found herself long in the tooth Burdened with responsibilities As the clock kept ticking Being hospitable began to wane Regardless of hope keeping in touch Working harder had become symbolic For she had a negligible threshold That supremely played a crucial part A part in soaking all the fitness up Until she lost the spiritedness Did all she accessed for the...

The Root Cause
Sometimes, better to dig it up Right from the root And expose it to daylight Cos' it's not good for a man to sleep all day And not wake up to his responsibilities It's not normal If he pushes his wife out to the street To hustle and to fend for the family My son Something has gone terribly wrong The head has been cut-off The...

Whether or not you believe that angels’ wings unfurled Can make the reality of life around you exist, There may be a...

Destruction of Misfortune
Misfortunate life tangled us like goofy hair. We try to release this tangled miserable with care. But we got tangled more when we took it lightly.

Misfortune of War
