Enough to s...

...
I'd steal it back—
my poem that she posted as her own.

I'd name her plainly, demand 
a public apology—

Looks at us with pity,
But then he is helpless,
Against our cruelty's tall and strong fortress.

to understand it
the rhythm of the streets

not through his eyes
but in the warmth on his skin

My Existence Itself Is My Threat - Part 2

..."What is my role?" I asked.

Was that how?

...A rainy day held me captive in memories.
Each droplet that fell turned into blood,
Revealing the wounds of my existence.

but with pity in its silence.

If this isn't sold my family shall be trodden 
The society seems correct when they...

Premium Memberwe are the God that we've been waiting for

...
In August when the days are hot,
nights are cool, men are shot;
fooling with another's wife
too many men cut with knife.

Walk a street some evening

Today I sacrifice my martyrdom. 
Today I cleanse my soul, 
Release the past and reach for the new.
