They Were Here Yesterday
They were here yesterday
They were here yesterday
Acting like they wouldn’t fade
All over the place
Showcasing their beautiful face
Their 6pack on display
The only thing they can’t devour is age
Now there they lay
In an everlasting grave
In ah non-stopping pain
Rust and decay
They were here yesterday
Powerful and filthy rich
Looking twenty-five when they’re fifty-six
Coz they’re dully fit
Balling at the peak
Immortality is the only thing
They couldn’t reach
Coz their kryptonit kit
Wouldn’t...

HURT AND PAIN
These days I guess I don't deserve to live
I felt disheartening
Hard to live; happily
Hurt and pain is all I could feel
Work ain't going fine
Life?; "not treating right"
Everyone telling me how bad I be
Trashing me
Battering
When parent blasphemy
Like I don't deserve to be
In this fa-mily
Friends don't wanna hang with me
On their Nike clique
Coz my dressing style is seeing
As lowlify thing
Girlfriend telling me
What a non-caring freak I be
For I'm just heartlessly being
Like a robot machine ...

write What Inspires
Poetry is not about how many words you write
Or how many like you've gat
It's about how right you pen-wised
Who your rhymes inspire
Does it toucheth heart
Does it changeth mind
Of those whose life
Are filled with trial
Does it make em smile
Or at times makes em cry
It's wise to cry; at times
Does it make em fly
And give em vibe
To take another try
Does it make em cope
After a heck of sorrow
Does it give em hope
Of better tomorrow
If you write
Use insight
Write about life...

Let me be
Friends wants me to be a sailor
But I don't wanna go beyond the shore
They cut me off
Father wants me to be a doctor
But I'd faint at the sight of blood
He left me to rot
Mother wants me to be an engineer
Damn! I don't wanna be such
"She says; You're too weak my son"
My brother wants me to be a soldier
Nah! I just wanna be raw
"Okay; but don't end up joining thugs"
Girlfriend want me to be a pilot
But height scare me too much
Everybody wants me to be something
But I want to be none
...

Wish Me Well
I tried my best to be a better man
I do the best I can
But here I am
Hurting everyone around
I try with all my might
To love with all my heart
But they said I'm doing otherwise
That my art is never right
I walk the path of the wise
Write scripts that truly inspire
But all I get is just great torment
Harvested from their hate-comment
I work hard, never disabled
To fend and put food on table
But still I get criticised
And was tagged as "lazy ass"
I try to improve my profile
Be a better...

Great Mind
The way some mates
Most times use their brain
Helps to ease my pain
Whenever I feel deranged
Their poetical way
Could be describe as sane
People like BiG ViRGE
Who keeps me inspired
Every time I feel mentally tired
Or great minds like Muhsin
And the quote-master HMC
And my StreetPoetry cliques
Who doesn't seem
To need a war machine
To rescue or kill
No protective barbed-wire
Or an heavy gunfire
To fight an empire
Cos' their style of war;
Is lyrically pure

Do Something
Every day we try to stay
Not to stray from this path we follow
But someone dear died today
And someone else would die tomorrow
That someone; might be me
That someone could be you
It might be the person reading this
Or that buddy standing next to you
It might be someone in my fam
Or someone in yours
You might; on your way to the farm
Or maybe on your way to the mosque
You might; while driving in your car
Or pro’ly while drinking in the bar
Infact! Keep calm, stay gently on your bed
Death will still find you there ...
