LOVE FOR THE VETERANSLove for the veterans
I don't know what to say
I never fought in a war
But I saw what our veterans went through
On television and how the war grew
I say people all over the world praying
And I also heard a lot of critics on what they were saying
People pray for love and end the war
There were a...

How to not get raped: A Girl's daily checklistDon’t wear shorts — they’ll say you asked for it.
But also don’t wear jeans — you’re being too Western.
Saree? Salwar? Dupatta? — Oh please, that blouse was too tight.
Basically, just wear shame. That’s safest, right?
Don’t go out late — it’s dangerous at night.
But if something happens in broad daylight?
“Well, what was she doing alone in...

No MoreHe stares anywhere but my eyes
But boys will be boys and he's just a guy
I should smile and be happy
Because it means he likes what he sees
That's all that should matter to me
I shouldn't be greedy
Little girl, little girl
You don't know much about the real world
But little girls in this world learn faster and faster...

It's Rude To Point
What's wrong with them Americuns
forever pointing fingers
always pointing guns
searching for someone to blame
never changes
stays the same
with 'Love thy neighbour,'
and 'Thou shalt not kill,'
religious to the core
hypocrites to boot
and what's more
shooting people children too
wondering why innocent die
and yet they haven't got a clue

Inizio - Introduzione Alla ViolenzaQuesto è l’inizio
del Gioco
che piace a noi Perdenti:
innocuo inchiostro
riversato copioso,
di anatemi imbrattate
pagine sprecate
da chi dispensa vendetta
senza metterci la faccia.
Ma a quale scopo?

STUPIDO LIBRO,
IMMONDO PARTO CESAREO,
VEDRAI SOLO LA LUCE DEL FUOCO
CIRCONDATO DA MILLE Occhi Spenti…

The voice that only speaks violenceHer silence spoke louder than words
Her eyes A window to her hurt
Begging to be heard
She thought that was something she deserved
So why had she been ignored
She roamed the earth like a ghost
A lost soul hoping for more
Hoping someone will help her
Someone would see how hard she tries
To not cry
Despite her watery eyes
She...

A Crow in the front gardenSmiles a plenty
Under the veil of malice intent
Healthy love and support
Just a disguise for abusive behaviour
All the moments we see as beautiful
Just a front for growing dissent in the home
Dresses, Suits, shirts and ties
Expected Uniform of joy and of heaviest heartbreak
It's too far to travel either way
Too far gone in the eyes of societal gods
All...

ControlHer soul was starved of acceptance
An aching hunger wanting to be fed
Her body weak
Not from the lack of food
But for the lack of love for her skin
Being black meant a life where no matter what she did
She would never win
She couldn't control her race
But she could control her body
She wanted to be...

When Night Had No MercyWhen Night Had No Mercy
I walked alone, dusk held the air,
A fork ahead—school light there,
And on the right, a shadowed wall,
Where silence hummed the siren's call.
Then feet—too many—closed around,
A hand, too rough, too fast, no sound.
My mouth was sealed, the sky went black,
They dragged me down, no turning back.
A van—its door, a waiting tomb,
They flung...

Our life a horror movie they played to us in real lifeOur life a horror movie they played to us in real life
In horror films black people die first
We always make smart decisions
And yet they still manage to find a way to erase us even in film
They don't leave us alone
Not in life
Not in death
Not even in fiction
They do this to show...

Survival ModeI broke away not so long ago,
But there are things I want you to know.
I survived, yes, but I’m not yet healed—
A healthy life still unrevealed.
I wake each day often with a start,
Worry and wariness still haunt my heart.
Pains of the skin are all long gone,
But the uncertainty still breathes on.
Starting my day, I follow...

Angie
I always had Angie Under My Thumb,
one day I heard her honking her car horn.
What had she just done with her anger,
my candy apple red vette she did Paint It Black.
She was yelling back at me,
You Can't Always Get What You Want.
Now I will Tumblin Dice for release,
my new car is a big mess.
Her blue...

Back in the USSRJune 21, 2025
For the Beatles 'Lay it to Me' song Contest by Charles Messina
The old iron curtain came down
But soon a clown reclaimed the crown
Ruthless and hollow-souled he rose
Now a foul Soviet wind blows
From the east it battered Ukraine
Spreading such cruel and endless pain
The past returns in blackened char
“Back in the U.S.S.R.”
