Life
A hard place to live is called planet Earth
Where all that matters is Maths and Science and Love
Us humans don't need to think about survival
Because we have people to do that for us
We are part of a hard working society
But that society was made of blood and sweat
The blood of fellow humans
at the end of the slave trade we thought peace could be real
But know i know that without cooperation
We can not
And the tragedy of George Floyd And Stephen Lawrence
Make you realise
your life is corrupt
Where all that matters is Maths and Science and Love
Us humans don't need to think about survival
Because we have people to do that for us
We are part of a hard working society
But that society was made of blood and sweat
The blood of fellow humans
at the end of the slave trade we thought peace could be real
But know i know that without cooperation
We can not
And the tragedy of George Floyd And Stephen Lawrence
Make you realise
your life is corrupt

Karma
I'd love Karma to gain power...
I'd love people in power, to discipline the abuse of power in people and acknowledge what appears to be systemic evil...
I'd love to empower those that feel powerless in sorting out the mess, from the streets, to parliament, to congress...
I'd love to give the people the power to immediately vote out the party in power, when they feel double crossed by that power...
That being said, tonight the world gets together...
So I pray things will change, things will get better...
The power of prayer for...

Me And The Moon
only the moon knows of my nights
my secrets, she’ll never tell
no conversations
just observations
we know each other very well
my secrets, she’ll never tell
no conversations
just observations
we know each other very well

Artificial Paradise
Composed of year-long highs and endless summer,
I attract the adventurous and bring in consistent waves of those searching for compensation.
Those who wander follow my promise of eternal sunlight, leaving behind all they have built to chase my warmth.
But when they arrive, they find a deceitful universe.
A universe composed of artificial impressions, presented by those imprisoned by vanity.
A universe lacking the change of the seasons, waiting for something new to occur, but it never does.
A universe where the endless sun transforms into drawn out days of...

The dance before their death
At a relaxed green evening,
While diving in a natural hot spring,
Where there was not a big natural fire burning,
I spotted some rare kettle flying below nettle silver clouds.
They landed,
And my prayer was answered.
They were jostling, hissing, and singing,
I was dancing.
Some were urinating,
Some were feeling the cold,
Some were in hardcore,
Some in moan.
The scene set the best natural thetre,
It had everything from heaven to earth,
Feeling disguised - left the theatre in the second half mid, ...

Impromptu
The world looks down on poetry because it makes them frown
Poets speaks truth
And from truth the world always run
Who said I can't do impromptu?
Who said to myself I can't be true?
Who said poetry is dead?
Not to me
Maybe to you
But inspite of
Remember this
That the world would rather stifle you
And fill you with doubt
Than give you wings and a voice to shout
Poets speaks truth

That the world would rather stifle you
And fill you with doubt
Than give you wings and a voice to shout

Everyone has that space...
they all have that bubble.
That place they go...
to escape all the trouble.
Some hide away...
oblivious to life.
Others no longer notice...
another's strife.
They consume a thought...
or process fears.
Within that bubble...
they never see your tears.
Cause leaving that space...
it might show they care.
But when faced with the Illusion...
why would they dare.
So they stay hidden...
it's what they're programmed to do.
Hide in that bubble...
never to...
they all have that bubble.
That place they go...
to escape all the trouble.
Some hide away...
oblivious to life.
Others no longer notice...
another's strife.
They consume a thought...
or process fears.
Within that bubble...
they never see your tears.
Cause leaving that space...
it might show they care.
But when faced with the Illusion...
why would they dare.
So they stay hidden...
it's what they're programmed to do.
Hide in that bubble...
never to...
