We Will Fall If We Break Apart

We were friends from far villages 
We lived centuries of no breakages
Our relationship was that of villagers 
Before this century of political pillagers 

We lived happily in our villages 
And our culture was of no edges
Our togetherness was for ages 
That would not have us in cages 

The profundity of our thought 
Should correlate to what we sought 
For the togetherness is called  unity
It’ll always give us love and liberty

We had our different names
But politics gave us another name
This administrative name wasn’t naive 
So it shouldn’t make us to be too naive 

We may need to go apart 
But our spirits will never part
Leaving one another will be a departure 
Of a man who takes unknown adventure

If I Become a General

I’ll always  preside over right deeds
And will not be immoral over right deeds
My commitment will be my loyalty 
And every fruit of it will be our royalty  
   
I’ll be very powerful 
And will condemn every unlawful 
My service will not favor a criminal 
I’ll be so different from today’s general

The law will come and create a path 
For everyone to have a right to pass
I’ll prosecute the today’s criminals 
Who have hands on death of several 

Civil rights of my citizens will be restored 
All books of these criminals will be stored
All cells will be full of today’s instigators 
And will form not a group of investigators

A Rose In My Heart

You blossom like a rose 
Overnight in the spring weather 
So baby you’re my bed rose

Looking into your eyes 
My heart is filled with passion 
And love is seen in your eyes

In unlikely fashion 
You’re a beautiful rose 
That inspire my passion

Violets are naturally blue
And roses are naturally red
Guess what, my bed is for two

A little to let you know 
You’re a beautiful rose 
On my mind, in my heart and soul

Autumn Love

Autumn leaves were falling,
Birds’ melodies were calling 
My heart was sunk in love 
It couldn’t beat anymore

Many days and nights went 
And nothing was so different 
My mind was racing to have you
‘Cause all my heart wanted was you 

Before it’s long, I delved into my thoughts 
Nothing more but you that I sought 
It goes and ticks like clock
If it’s you to unlock 

What’s the word about you 
If I didn’t say I love you 
In your lovely eyes 
There’s a an ice 

Every moment that passed
My pinky heart rushed 
For your only sweet love 
That made me live more 

You’ve stolen my heart
I wonder how you didn’t get hurt
So you’re a beautiful culprit 
Who got away with my spirit

The Two Ds Today In My Country

A degree in my country 
A decree in my country 

No degree is needed
When decree’s respected

Not a degree is valued
When decree is issued

Any degree for boot-clickings?
Only a decree to boot-licking 

No degree is profitable 
As decree is on profiteers’ table 

A degree seen to aid positive change
A decree is issued to end that change 

A degree that’s hauling critics 
Is issued a decree without ethics 

A degree becomes problematic 
As decree favors only diplomatic

The Southern Hyenas

Hyenas,
Filthy, and salivating
I’m too afraid
To lose all my flesh

All eating villains,
And ferocious they are,
Bloodthirsty beasts
Are too deadly

Laugh loud,
When filled with flesh
All their scary mouths
Stinky and drifting blood 

Only bones,
No flesh left at all 
Lo, what a deadly story 

A feared arena it’s 
Now a ghoulish is here
Maybe for all corpses
On thus doomsday

Not a Pen Error

Oh this is my golden pen 
Made with no error
To record all in this era

It’s not my pen’s error
But a bloody sword era
Where all become an error 

A bloody sword error
Happened in a favorite era
I still see it a sword error 

It’s all bloody sword’s nip 
Keep it off my pen tip 
‘Cause it’ll make you shift 

You’ll shake it off like dust 
But just know my pen’s text 
Will reveal all your bloody wrath
