God gives free will to Humankind.
Many think out of sight is out of mind.
While others claim they can't see.
Yet, choice leads to purgatory.
And there's plenty of hemp, you'll find.

Premium Member Deception

I dislike deception most of all.
Humankind is ready to fall 
To the lowest position,
Ignoring values like
Loyalty and trust,
Lacking penance 
And remorse.
What a 
Shame!

Killing Colours

Do these things matter?
To them;
The colour blinds
Do they recognize them?
The colours of the skin
That which brought about the fuss
If truly;
This ability they lack
Let it plague humankind

And rotate 180 degrees to show us your behind?

All those times

Mouths of different

History of war,

Mistrust,

Insecurity.

Ten thousand years

Excuses for killing,

Mocking,

Insecurity.


The Stupid's brethren,

Bloody children.
