There is a saying that I have heard,
And hopefully I've got it down here word for word,
'The Lunatics have taken over the asylum' is what the words say,
But I never thought this would apply to the good old US of A.
This President is just a big headed chump,
One day, I hope he falls with one almighty thump,
This man just walks over the countries of the world,
Him and his idiot billionare pal, who both want to make us live in an alternate netherworld.
I know these men have been succesful in getting their fortunes,
But they frighten me more than going to the dreaded dental surgeon,
I know they think they are just putting their own country first,
But does this have to mean making the rest of the world much worse.
Hopefully sometime soon, the American people will realise their big mistake,
And get rid of this man, who just makes the whole world shake!!

You can see it in our faces,
by the looks in our eyes.
There's no way I am the father.
They who said it told you lies.
You can tell by our behavior
that our blood is not the same.
There is nothing yet convincing
spare the fact we share a name.
I am just the one who raised him,
used to tuck him into bed.
I'm the one who continued working
to make sure my son was fed.
The one to whom this boy was crying.
I would teach him to be strong.
The one on whom he was relying
without his father all along.
I'm the one who gave him money
and I taught him how to spend.
Despite it all, you know what's funny?
He was succesful in the end.
I'm the one who paid attention
to his desires and his needs.
This I say with apprehension
but don't expect you to agree.
I'm just the man who taught him values,
principles to get him by.
I taught him how to read the Bible
for more instruction he applies.
I was overjoyed to watch him
measure up to be a man.
No, I couldn't be his father.
I am just the one who showed him
that I truly can.

"I love you" I whisper
Yet, you are oblivious to what is about to happen.
Laughing, sparkled eyed you rest on my arm.
My heart racing, you smiling oh so calm
On the operating table I lay you my precious baby,
"Sparkles, I have to go but our Father will stay"
A needle prick and slowly you slip away, you ready.
As I leave the room I ask the Lord to keep the doctor's hand steady.
It is your eyes afterall, a delicate operation,
But I have faith, our God is a God for every situation.
I am desperate for the treatment to be successful,
Succesful without scars, cause you so beautiful!
Five minutes passed, and the doctor walks in
My heart skip a beat... What news does he bring?
But it is good news, my heart sing with joy!
My God is a God for every situation,
Your eyes is fine, no need for an operation!
My God you are good, you heard my praying voice,
You a miracle worker in you we rejoice!

There cries a woman who feels unloved and forlorn,
Just because what she loved was hurt and gone;
This woman always wanted things to go her way –
And her attitude always drove her loved ones away.
She is bossy, egotistical and a little bit too proud,
She has money, fame and her character a bit too loud;
She used to think everything revolved around her,
And now all she can ever say is that life is not fair.
From where can she get solace when what she loved she lost?
Yet she bargains with God and prays with her fingers crossed –
To be successful with money and all, but leading a loveless life,
Renders her grumpy and amputates her soul with a lovelorn knife;
O this woman, whether loved or not, she used to pretend never to care,
But now that she needs that love, that love is no longer there.

to my life I am a stranger
to my dreams I am a stranger
i don't know who I am and
where I am from I have lost my identity
i am lost please hear me out.
i am in a place where hate is mistaken for love,
where loving someone is a crime
i am in a place where being in jail
is better than being out.
I am a stranger in my own country
i am a stranger in my community
i am in a place where being a foreigner is a crime
i am in a place where being succesful is a crime
i am in a place where crime is the new way of life
I need time to adjust with this way of life, i need time understand
the world around me.

Night.
Nay-it not now, when the darkness still crawls nearer
Night you shall always be the welcomed Angel, to implore
To nay-it, a message the sun has left, with fires
Oh shades of the day, magma and ice
Always at heels of each, enemies and friends
Which one, which one comforts me?
Nights of nay-its succesful reigns..
When upon my creaky atsatsa*, I counts the fruits
deka...
...eve,
.. etor...
Sun oh sun, fire out of the Brahma's hearth, you reign in history
my journey has started
A soul searching
Reflections
Mesmerises
To clean the brass and shine its surface
For the lights boasts of shines to soar
As I clean my self of debris of old, of old ages
Ah, night, nay-it, all that blackens me with blots.
Now
.....till
when.......

now we're all seniors
from this point on
think of our wishes
the future for us all
no more mistakes
no more silly games
the real world awaits
for us to take chances
have no regrets of the past
it's our time to move on
to start a brand new life
it's our time to shine off
to show the world what we're made of
all of us all
we can be better
we can be stronger
the greatest in the world
it's our time to step up
we will be much greater
succesful and smarter
all of us all
we're all one
a family of no regrets
no more standing down
now we wear the crown
we're brave in all ways
all of us all
now we're all seniors
from this point on
think of our wishes
the future for us all
all of us all

Im not really Smart,
The people around me are just Dumb
Put me in an AP class and i bet it wont be fun
No more B's and above,more like C's and below
I dont challenge myself because i really dont Know..
Its not hard to seem intelligent
when making A's and B's
But the work is just so easy
Im beginning to see,I cant cruise my way through school
Because though its possible,I cant cruise my way through Life
Im determined to be Succesful
Failures not an option,
Its hard when you have no room,to make mistakes
or feel gulity when you wanna step out of your place
Its easier to be good
and always stay true,to the ulterior motive
Which is to Please you..

I have decided to build an imaginary mansion,
To live in when I get old,
I have been writing for years now with no reward,
So this got me to thinking,
What if i had been succesful,
I've had 22 books published,
By various publishers but no one buys them,
Si I have decided that I am a rich man although I still borrow money from my Dad for
tobacco,
And have built an imaginary mansion,
Using my words.

sexy
masculine
mysterious man
priveledge to be healed by your smile
gentle eyes lead me in
to a place of my thoughts
i haven't seen for awhile
exotic fantasies for a beautiful boy
a beautiful boy
reminding me something about life
without a word said
how did you do that?
beautiful man
sexy mysterious
masculine smile
gentle eyes
changing my thinking again
taken aback by desire
stabilising who i am
and change your life with a smile
sexy lips i wish to kiss
of a beautiful boy
a beautiful boy who happened to be there
and not even know it
actions louder than words
soft spoken sensitive soul
your eyes tell me the tale
beautiful man
without a word even said
show me that masculine mysterious smile
reminding me that cultures with many words for happiness
are more likely succesful

Are you a failed novelist
or a succesful poet?
Let the winds of time
redeem you
let your body
move with the
wind
according to the solar
calender
you are about
to reach
new heights

there she was having the desire to look up to higher expectations
devistated from her ugly past
she stood there hoping she could build new generations
willing that one day her performances might surpass
in her heart and soul all she wanted was to serve this world with a goood deed
not less, nor more , that was all her concern and need
suddenly she emerged from where she was and had developed into a succesful
woman
finally she discovered that within herself , all those years , laid a different person

No money in it(they say)
However, let's
feel
the
power
of the muse
Let's write what we
must
while those
filled with negativity
still speak
to us
in angry tones
we continue to express
ourselves
(in dream, in joy, in a thousand flowing words)
