Triology - Part 1

Crowned In Fire - A path Observed 

A boy was born to broken street,
Where hunger dressed defeat as sweet.
A thousand flags above him flew,
But none he felt were just or true.

The victors sang of peace and right,
While ash still curled beneath his night.
His father roamed unfertile ground,
Their names erased, their fate unbound.

He searched through books,

Being Inbetween

In-between the unseeen,
Is a being creating everything, 
Ohh, the wonders it can bring, 
Singing a song to the youniverse.
Writing every verse first, 
Thirsting for thoughts that brought in bliss, 
Continuing to miss the mark, 
Ending up in the dark.
Hoping for a spark, 
It arcs into the light, 
Shining bright, 
Aware of the blight.
Willing to fight

The Bloody Chapters of Stalingrad

From moments when love was cherished in Stalingrad,
Like stories written on the walls 
With the song repeated by Babushka 
And not long after that, the war reached its gates.

Hands turned into fists and ready for battle
Like heads and shoulders patiently under the whip,
The Motherland Calls enchants and glorifies,
Without knowing the ensuing bloodbath.

Every minute felt like

I saw the world through blood

I was looking at the world through my eyes,
curious to see its parallel side.

I had grief because I was seeing it through blood,
but as I heard my praises and insults,
glanced over the beautiful mountains
and growing poverty,

that became my biggest pride —
to witness the world like this.

But when my hand started to grow cold
from the pain

Fighting alongside the enemy

Disposable.
Just like the bodies scattered 
As unimportant as the soldiers blood splattered
A black man stands watching violence unfold
Not to the enemy 
But those who fought close
Those your supposed to trust
Comrades 
Yet somehow 
The black man 
Is on the receiving side of the bullets 
Not by the opposition
But by those claiming to be on the same

The elegance of privilege

Privilege is elegant 
Graceful, as it glides like a breeze 
Unnoticed by those who catches its attention 
Noticed by those who live in the shadow
Although it's voice not loud 
It's presence demands to be heard
It's violence shows in its hidden claws
Knowing when to pounce and when to be quiet

It lives within recognition
And if quick smiles

The World That Lost

The old streets, the old cars
The flowing river that won't stop far
The memories seeking through tears
The old paper ,all tattered and cleared

The music that fills time
The glowing star ,What a divine!
The literature, the song
The jolly old self that never returned

The world dark with humor
The very one that withered
The rose in between the pages
The radiant sun

Premium MemberA World Apart



A World Apart

Is this what we have become
a world apart
Why is there this hallowed blackness
emanating from the shrinking sun
leaving all blinking 
as we wallow in the shadows

Why is your smile 
smeared with a smirk 
making all to shriek 
marvelling at the marauders 

Why the reeling smoke 
With its’ mocking reality 
taunting the future with friction

SERENDIPITY

songer.co/song/gczrmkvjg6vew99l2b021z1f

[Verse 1]
Love comes and love runs
As I go another time around the sun

[Verse 2]
Love someone, then let them go
The less you care, the more you know
As I go another time around the sun

[Bridge]
If you know love, you hold it tight
The imposter’s always chasing lights
And I go another time around the sun

[Verse 3]
I said no thanks

Premium MemberFiddler on the White House Roof

There's a fiddler on the White House roof.
As the world burns, he is clearly aloof.
Just like Emperor Nero,
he is surely no hero, 
and frankly we've had enough of this goof.

Modern day slavery

The world drowns us in problems 
Then expects us to breathe solutions 
In a society that demands whispers of lullabies rocking them to sleep 
Whilst we deal with the havoc they wreak

Safe in the silence of their homes
Black women have to deal with the chaos outside alone
The white man's mess becomes the black persons job
Our

The distance is very horrific
This path is insurmountable

I want to be there, I will go there
Attitude is changed, life arrived

Distant words
Present words

There is no way
Mind is changed

INTO ANOTHER WORLD

While I was meditating 
Then I started visualizing 
And I saw a world 
That world seems differ
Different and far away from planet earth.

Just like astronaut 
I traveled from Earth 
To that wondrous world
Exploring without fear of the unknown 
Then I emerge 
It's a civilized world 
Not a jungle world 
A world without war,  propaganda

World is fair as is

Had tears not been there
Man might not be half as good,
Nor one-fourth as fair.

If pain nowhere there,
Joys would never be as should
Most might melt in air,

Or be half valued,
Being so painless and rare,
Never feel as good.

Undeserved, unfair
If one gets all he wants, would
He e’en heaven care?

World as is, is fair
With pain. Let one needless brood,
Pull

Premium MemberI am the world

when our body-mind dissolves
ego recedes, soul evolves
with soul an offshoot of God
Who is known when heart has thawed

entering thought cessation
dropping body sensation
we as consciousness expand 
obeying our heart’s demand

whilst humming a soundless verse
we swallow the universe
as the breath of God Himself
and then behold light of Self

our true Self stands outside time
and space, mirroring God’s chime
feeling
