Poet Introduction
I'm a door which ever way you open it will always lead you outside
Nail to jesus cross
I was sharpened harder than before
I was sharpened harder for victory
I could feel joy in the hammer's wielder, victory had finally befall
I can never recall
If I was the first one in
All I heard were cries of Jesus tied to a cross
I went in deep, piercing his flash and drilling holes into his bones
Finally my crime was a victory for all
I stood proud and full of joy
I've brought freedom to all
Then the spear of destiny came around and took the spot
I wasn't the main act of the plot after all
When all was done, what was...

diary of a deadman 42
I keep digging an open wound
I keep pouring salt into an open
Afraid if it heals it'll fade away with every memory of you
I've dug it deeper than it initially was
No amount of pain compares to the pain of losing you
I've used your death as my tool
I've used your death as my Muse
If I lose this feeling I don't know what else I would do
There's an empty void where my heart used to be
I constantly try to feel it with memories of you
There's emptiness in my life
That no one knows
I keep images in head of the last breathe you took in...
I keep pouring salt into an open
Afraid if it heals it'll fade away with every memory of you
I've dug it deeper than it initially was
No amount of pain compares to the pain of losing you
I've used your death as my tool
I've used your death as my Muse
If I lose this feeling I don't know what else I would do
There's an empty void where my heart used to be
I constantly try to feel it with memories of you
There's emptiness in my life
That no one knows
I keep images in head of the last breathe you took in...

in pursuit of......
Tick tock
Another minute has passed by on the clock
Toothbrush on the mouth, one hand on make up. We're already running late
The sermon to our own funerals has already began
Fate has been set and today I could be the one
So we're just chasing time
We're ignoring road signs
We all want to be the first in line
It's catch me if you can on the fast lane
It's fingers up, move bitch and loud honks of cars that want to get by
We're all running a bit late
Cars are flipping hearts are in hot pursuit of happiness
Some of us have...

if only i could swap positions with god
A perfect family portrait
The sun is setting on the mountain in the background
Everybody is smiling, everybody is full of life
A family of seven, such a blessed and perfect number
But what you don't see that little boy with his hair shaved
Has leukemia that doesn't respond to medication and he can't be saved
If only I could, just for a second swap positions with god..........
A perfect mother
With a perfect heart
The best mother to raise a child
A mother every child would be proud to call a mother
She's busy raising chairs and TV...

a blackwolf ringing my door bell
There is a blackwolf ringing my door bell
Banging on my door and it wants in
Howling it revolutionAL howl
To rectify my mistakes and guide me to a better path
There's a blackwolf ringing my door bell
With fur as beautiful as a genus of flowering trees (Melia)
Forever showering me with the sweetest of compliments
There's a blackwolf ringing my door bell
It comes running and running me down
Chasing me down the stream of juvenile 66 butterflies
Chasing me into a poetic tragedy
With words so shakespear-sweet
Sending me into Ely...

Death of a Freeman
Before the blade of a guillotine falls
Before the head of another black man falls
I'll sing the song of liberty
And die a death of a Freeman
My father was shot for walking in the corn plantation because he looked like a barboon
My sister raped and burnt to death for denying to be taught in a language foreign to her
My brother locked in a coffin alive for his sins
My mom laying on the bottom of the blood river with sinking stones around here neck
There's no freedom for me until my family death are avenged
Truth and reconcilation commissions...

When words are standing on Z
When words are standing on Z
What more is left to be said?
You've said it all from the first word in the Bible to the last on the dictionary
You've said all the captivating, intriguing beautiful and words only a lover can speak to another at night
You've said all the words that make stars come alive at night , words that make the Willow trees dance, words sharper than any knife
You've said words that enveloped the thickest of hearts
You've said them all
But now words are standing on Z
What more is left to say?
You've filled where a preachers...

A bleeding heart still pounds
I've been hurt
I've been kicked to the dirt
I've fallen and I've been dragged
I have sqweelled, I have begged
I've been left behind, left for dead
But you showed me, a bleeding heart still pounds
I have failed
And I have to this day
I lost my vision, I lost my way
I have chocked,I run out of things to say
I died, what was left was to decay
Bit by bit I faded away like vapourizing Clay
But you showed me, a bleeding heart still pounds
You held my head
And never let go of my hand
You sew back what was left...

I lost my vision, I lost my way

the dark messiah 94: shut your eyes and still your heart
Bring me your enemies
And lay them before me
Turn and walk away as you leave them on their knees
Shut your eyes and still your heart
My vengeance is that of blood
Forgive your past and hope to once again find love
Hold on to faith and pray to the son (me)
Don't be weary when you find troubles
I'll fight of your demons
Sleep safe and soundly in me you belong
Take a leap of faith I'll catch you when you fall
Spread your wings and learn to fly
I'm the wind beneath your flight
Say parish and I'll die
For I stand...
And lay them before me

Don't be weary when you find troubles
I'll fight of your demons
Sleep safe and soundly in me you belong

Say parish and I'll die

The forsaken
There he is, in the sky
So distant and yet he holds the key of life
There he is, in his thrown so up high
When will he come down and draw the line
All in his name
I surrendered my spirit
All in his name
I surrendered my sin
All for the glory of his place
I gave up upon my desires
I'm here before his face
He seem to have forsaken me
I'm here in his Paradise
And he seem to have forgotten his promise
A promise that one day he'll deliver me
Why is it your glory I cannot find?
Why is it your heaven is...
So distant and yet he holds the key of life
There he is, in his thrown so up high
When will he come down and draw the line
All in his name
I surrendered my spirit
All in his name
I surrendered my sin
All for the glory of his place
I gave up upon my desires
I'm here before his face
He seem to have forsaken me
I'm here in his Paradise
And he seem to have forgotten his promise
A promise that one day he'll deliver me
Why is it your glory I cannot find?
Why is it your heaven is...
