The world is watching with bated breath,
while an unforsaken slaughter takes place
A man with no soul, an angel of death
There is no escape from this labyrinth,
only terror he brings to his own race
The world is watching with bated breath
With rage, pent-up frustration, and faith
Good men do their part, fighting to replace,
a man with no soul, an angel of death
Poets write forthright about him in depth,
with a fury about what’s taking place
The world is watching with bated breath
One man’s brutality, Lord thy feareth.
Oligarchs flee on their yachts and disgrace,
a man with no soul, an angel of death
As we stand together, we send a pleth—
ory of prayers to end this, with God’s grace
The world is watching with bated breath,
a man with no soul, an angel of death

et me begin the amorous tale of my love
story,
In seven of ages a heartrending pillory,
With maximum make believe of childhood
love,
Cycling after her with no worry,
To the taste of truffles and muffin,
Felt her each wave sweet to savory,
On slide following her with peeping eyes,
Seeking a vivacious look till I touched the
teen glory,
With shorthanded life and full of misery,
Couldn’t even bought a gift or flowery,
But could promise to honor love for life,
And this ain’t false statement of
stipulatory,
At mid of twenty two, with smashing and
evaporating love,
Still remembered cherish liped smile of
amatory,
ory,
And snake of love has now bitten my
heart,
The anti-dote is her smile whether it might
be illusory,
Hence the feelings pining and revolving in
mind,
As gravitation, influence everything
stimulatory,
In cold night with shattering fog and
cracking leaves
Shahid is right here with a flowery and
Sorry.

Many stories with the
spoketh wrongs,runneth in
their wasted gaze,in a
deaded wayz.....wisdom in the
empted space,afflicted with

rake...
Vani-ty upon van-ity, all a
