A wish

Far down below it's taking
Taking away the tandroms of guilt 
Pain and cries.
I have felt, seen and heard
The rocks , flowers trees big
But here, it's a tomb of joy which sweeps 
Sweeping away the ridges we have built from fear
From great theft of injustice
From cries and depression
Weakness and failures
We have come to leave the ill fate
The shock of being unwanted
As the winds sway pass,
Let  your, my weigh down drums 
Castles and rain of pain sweep away.

ever mother

She gave way for you,
Hard time breathe for you,
Sleepless nights for you,
Under the blooming sun for you,
In the sobbing rain for you,
With her saggy body 'cuz of you,
Stifling and reshuffling her melancholy 'cuz of you,
Trapped in a room lit with arrogant love 'cuz of you,
In the state of feminine violation just for you,
Tied in her weary back for hours just you,
She screams when  prey, to hurt come to you,
She calls every moment to know haven is for you,
She is always here for you,
Ever mother, ever mother for you.

bad legacies


You left 1884 behind,
1961 came you misused it
1972, you were doomed
1990, it seemed like joy but no

2016 your people smiled in their death 
see the homeless, fatherless,
widows now bury their husbands,
heads rolling in roads that are gutters

People roasted like fish
yet it never mattered to you,
only drinks and women did

See the troubles your children face,
many bellies are swollen,
yet these bellies can't talk,
they fear execution

When shall you correct these
bad legacies?
The desert has visited the grass field
And the hungry mourners are fleeing
Into the hands of death.

someday

someday we're not going to ,
admire the curvy roads,
we will be admired in our straight graves.
someday  the melodious sounds of birds will fade away
we will be left to drown in a forever silence
someday the standing trees would give way,
Giving way for your own space amongst them
someday our smiles or sadness shall be encoded,
 shaped and fixed in a stagnant look
someday , we shall not see someday.

Monday a mourning day

Oh greatness, the king of days 
You look so tired and stressed
Are there no maids in the race?
You acquired so much torture in quest
They violated you for your good ways
Great man full of honour, and no stress
You began encountering their riotic pace
Who killed the your power to test
You had believed in acquiring grace 
Now that revolts are worth the rest
WHAT attempt have you told the face?
Oh great upstream python, you suggest
That great minds should face the race
For winning is the very best.
