Indigo rain
It's said no parent wants to bury their children
But which child wish to bury their parents?
In this world full of sorrow and hardships
Who would wish to to lose a shoulder to cry on?
Someone to ask guidance from?
No matter how much we age
We still vulnerable inside
We still remain children inside.
No matter how estranged
No matter how insignificant their contributions is in our lives
But no child wish not to have a mother
No child wishes not to have a father
No child wishes not to have love they can't...
But which child wish to bury their parents?
In this world full of sorrow and hardships
Who would wish to to lose a shoulder to cry on?
Someone to ask guidance from?
No matter how much we age
We still vulnerable inside
We still remain children inside.
No matter how estranged
No matter how insignificant their contributions is in our lives
But no child wish not to have a mother
No child wishes not to have a father
No child wishes not to have love they can't...

Æ
We spend all our lives bumping into things then we call it life.
We eat, breathe and shit
As a reaction to the needs of this life
What happened to command and dictate?
Has it ever existed?
Open windows and closing doors
No such thing as choice
Yeah, maybe fate and destiny don't exist
But all we are is just a sum of how we react to what life throws at us.
Sorrow is inevitable, birth and death inevitable
We don't choose who we love,
Hate is a reaction to the reflection of others upon us.
And if it's to be that all this...
We eat, breathe and shit
As a reaction to the needs of this life
What happened to command and dictate?
Has it ever existed?
Open windows and closing doors
No such thing as choice
Yeah, maybe fate and destiny don't exist
But all we are is just a sum of how we react to what life throws at us.
Sorrow is inevitable, birth and death inevitable
We don't choose who we love,
Hate is a reaction to the reflection of others upon us.
And if it's to be that all this...

Just like everyone else
Everyone has a secret
Something they can never tell no one.
Everyone has a secret
Hidden scars
Something so dark that they keep inside.
But after one too many
I wanted to have a beautiful story to tell
It was never my intention
To find myself with a bunch of lies.
In this stormy weather called my life
I longed for rainbows, Unicorns and sunshine.
A bit of joy, in this poeting tragedy
Started building Castle in the sky
Something so beautiful that everyone could buy
Wanted to say that I had it ...
Something they can never tell no one.
Everyone has a secret
Hidden scars
Something so dark that they keep inside.
But after one too many
I wanted to have a beautiful story to tell
It was never my intention
To find myself with a bunch of lies.
In this stormy weather called my life
I longed for rainbows, Unicorns and sunshine.
A bit of joy, in this poeting tragedy
Started building Castle in the sky
Something so beautiful that everyone could buy
Wanted to say that I had it ...

There shall be no poetry here
There shall be no poetry here
If these words masterfully created
Have no target to better someone else life
Offer understanding and healing
Then there shall be no poetry here
If there's no religion of unity
A culture of support
And each one teach one
There shall be no poetry here
If these words scribed on keyboards and screens
Spits on spoken words
Won't be remembered by the impact they deliver,
To break the silence, inspire and empower
If these words don't spark the next flame of a revolution
If they...

7-2-14: Se7en Q's succession
Question
Is bitch really a bitch?
Is nigga really a nigga?
It's fine when you hear it from your kind
But when someone else different says it it's a crime,
Tell me where the fuck do you draw the line?
Tell me,
Why do white people feel so entitled?
They take all even when they have more than enough
Are they so narcissistic that they enjoy the smell of their fart?
And why do black people blame everything on the past?
They sit on their hands
And want everything served on a platter or else they play...

One day as you read this don't let it destroy you
One day as you read this don't let it destroy you
Tears are there to restore you
Never hold them in
Never lock them in
Let them flow
Let them caress your cheeks
Wash you anew and set you free
One day as you read this don't let it destroy you
Never be afraid to cry
Holding tears back will tear you up inside
Take this little trick,
Cry in the rain so no one see you cry
Cry while you pretend to smile
It's unfortunately inevitable
It's part of this life
But never let pain steal your shine
...

The bird of hermes
The bird of hermes
No complete metamorphosis shall take place
Forever cocooned inside, never to see the light
Fallen prey and victim to circumstances
The bird of hermes
Wings eaten never to sprout and touch the sky
An incomplete Birth
Beauty never to be seen
Endless colours never to reflect the light
And take pride in the marvel that comes
An abortion of thought
A decay of state,
A life never to be lived
Dreams never to be realised
A barren flicker of hope
An parallel flaw in the course of...

I wouldn't mind if this one gets degraded and hated
Do you know why we never seem to acknowledge how much we have in common,
But know what we have so different?
Because our Media select what we seeing
Riots, hatred, violence and everyone thinks they're the victim.
When was the last time you turned on a TV and saw a black man and white man hugging it out?
It's black lives matter, and all lives matter
The Morden segregation that none of us seem to figure out.
I wouldn't mind if this one gets degraded and hated
But the truth is, there's no black and white
It's us who select to see...

To the warrior
All her life my mom worked as a helper, a kitchen lady
A topic here which is frowned upon
People feel embarrassed to talk about
But I'm not.
From cleaning after people to picking up dog shit and under paid
The old lady always kept food on the table
Kept me and my siblings with clothes upon our backs
Shoes on our feet and a shelter above our heads.
Never have she given what I wanted, but strived to give me what I needed
Took me to school, whipped me into shape
Skin and leather,
Moulded me into the men I've become
...

Love and money
Yes, it's true.
Love don't pay the bills, money does.
But loving someone has nothing to do with money
Love don't pay the bills, money does.
But loving someone has nothing to do with money

Isn't death punishment enough?
What about us,
Isn't death punishment enough?
Why do we still have to suffer even in life?
We are born
We age,
We suffer the consequence of time.
Sticks and stones break our bones
the wheel that embodies all keeps on turning
We are plunged into the earth full of sickness and disease
A world of strife and warfare
Color distinction and poverty..
We live, we learn
But that does not save us from certain death,
Through it all we find moments of laughter, peace and love
But we are not spared from the sharp...
