What plot is this, what dark and muffled muttering,
so sinister and secret in the morning fog ?
What evil beings are these black cloaks covering,
so earnest and impassioned seems their dialogue ?
How cruel and misjudging to suspect them thus.
Huddled against the chill, they’re waiting for their bus !...

I can look into his eyes 
I see his pain and misery
I see the lies behind 
His broadened smile

I can feel the tears that lye
Behind his misjudging stare
I cant read the message
His mind is in a distant land

What do I do
When I lost all words 
When I cant stop his tear
When he's gone with the 
River beneath his feet

I love all of you
I just dont understand all if you....

We had a car, not many did,
financed and fuelled by bread and jam,
food deprivation that I hid 
from jealous kids who’d mock the sham;
pride misjudging as a winner
Ford denoting "Forfeit dinner" 

So while, no doubt, they envied me
I lusted their hot Sunday lunch
as they inhaled mum’s recipe
for dishes needing bite and crunch,
whilst dominating our car trips
my salivating yearn for chips....

Occasionally heaven shoots  meteorites  
Some of them fall on gutters and drains 
Without knowing among those some are 
More precious than diamond and gold
After misjudging it as a worthless piece 
Once you threw a most diaphanous seed 
On her beck a bird carried it to a distant land
Being germinated, well deep it sent its roots 
 Well spread are its branches and each shoot’s  
 Flower turns into from delicate to   delicious fruits
 Who is left, you or the seed, to repent or regret?...

When you look at my skin tone
Don't categorize me
When you see what i wear
Don't dare label me
You don't know me
You just see my outside
I may be the sweetest person alive
Your assumptions are therefore unjustified
I may be the best friend you'll ever have
I may be that dream love if you chance
Instead of judging me by my looks
Misjudging me from first glance
Don't judge me by what you read
Or by what you see on television
Take time to get to know me
And form your own first hand decision...

"In a world full of deaf listeners an artist sings the song of his heart
In the hope that someday someone will embrace his art,
In a world full of trendy liars,
An old painting is still waiting for its silent admirer,
In the world full of blind critics
A poem is somewhere afraid to express its lyrics,
In a world full of fake feelings misjudging a story 
A writer is trying to hide his untold glory,
In a world full of people who are just alive
We my love who live are trying to survive "...
