Home no More
Home no More
The sticker slapped upon my door
Informs me that we have a home no more
Gather up the wife and children with not much more than the clothes that hang off of us
At least it’s summertime I guess we won’t freeze sleeping under the night sky
But the season will change and we don’t have enough blankets to keep us warm
So we go to the shelter that is overflowing
With despair and broken human beings
In the darkness the vultures prey upon the few objects that we still own so we are back out on the cold...

Waiting.

And everyone.

Anyway.

Pretty eyes
She has
Pretty eyes
The color of the sea
Her eyes are green
Also her eyes shines in the sun
She is lucky to have green eyes
It was given to her by my father
AIso she has blond her
She is a gorgeous woman
That was made by my God
Also I am very happy for her
At night she is always sleeping like a log

Born with nothing
Bring in your gods
Before they rust
Young man
Born with nothing
Deep holes in his pockets and heart
Left to scream
Never heard
On any street in this world
Go ahead...
Pick a city
Any city
It don't matter
Born with nothing
Born to die
Before they rust
Young man
Born with nothing
Deep holes in his pockets and heart
Left to scream
Never heard
On any street in this world
Go ahead...
Pick a city
Any city
It don't matter
Born with nothing
Born to die

Oblivion
I'm already dead,
I've died a long time ago
And I'll continue to wither
With each day that flows.
I'm nothing but an empty husk
Of my former self,
Acting in concordance
With my mind's tales
Of what I was before the dusk.
But even those echoes slowly bleed away
Facing the atrophy of time
And its trail of decay.
It's getting darker...
Soon I'll be just a shadow,
Forgotten and forever chasing...
Running further,
Chasing an inexistent light
In an empty void,
An idea of "what it...
I've died a long time ago
And I'll continue to wither
With each day that flows.
I'm nothing but an empty husk
Of my former self,
Acting in concordance
With my mind's tales
Of what I was before the dusk.
But even those echoes slowly bleed away
Facing the atrophy of time
And its trail of decay.
It's getting darker...
Soon I'll be just a shadow,
Forgotten and forever chasing...
Running further,
Chasing an inexistent light
In an empty void,
An idea of "what it...

Someone like my father
Someone like my Father
Is the one that made me
60 years ago
With his holy hands
And placed me 60 years ago
In the planet earth
I already got used to the
Planet earth
And also
I am living my life
Here on the planet earth
The hot weather is living me
Lethargic
Is the one that made me
60 years ago
With his holy hands
And placed me 60 years ago
In the planet earth
I already got used to the
Planet earth
And also
I am living my life
Here on the planet earth
The hot weather is living me
Lethargic

I am the conundrum
I am the conundrum
Facing the truth
While wondering
what we have here
More than nothing
I know that
Surely you feel the same
look at what we have here
It’s like saying you love someone
When you really don’t
And you leave it at that
goddamn
I am the conundrum
Fucking leave me
Or love me, but
You do you
goddamn
Where am I
Where you are
Leaves me falling right into
Your arms again.
…shit.

Give the people in the world
Give the people in the world
A chance to embrace peace
Give the people in the world
A chance to make friends
Give the people in the world
A chance for a better education
So it can help them to get
A better paying job
Give the people in the world
A chance for them to love each other
Give a chance for the people in the world to pray
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn
To be happy
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn
To eat healthy
And to learn to take better care of their health

Incense of Insomnia
Quiet time solitude darkness staring.
Regret, seeps through the stench suffocatingly repulsive
Heart wrenching stagnant deeply alone,
the stench, the stench.
Nauseating nostalgia nothing nothing nothing.
Quiet tears so draining sadness
Rigid silence thoughts teach significant suffering repetitively
Hope watches suspiciously, dying, afraid.
the stench the stench
Nonchalance, no chance nothing nothing nothing
Regret, seeps through the stench suffocatingly repulsive
Heart wrenching stagnant deeply alone,
the stench, the stench.
Nauseating nostalgia nothing nothing nothing.
Quiet tears so draining sadness
Rigid silence thoughts teach significant suffering repetitively
Hope watches suspiciously, dying, afraid.
the stench the stench
Nonchalance, no chance nothing nothing nothing

Loonies still complaining about the colour of obviously fictional cartoon characters!
By Stanley Collymore
It's a shame the same consideration
isn't give to the history nonsense
taught in a rather widespread
fashion within white Western organized and
obviously run schools, all of them depicting
all Black people as essentially slaves, while
pushing European features as the standard
of beauty. How do these clearly, discernibly
ingrained morons, suppose little Black kids
feel, being systematically told, that nothing beautiful or even vaguely so, does or really, ...

Not Even A Memory
The tongues of fire
In bones and dust
An empire rotting
Bent steel and rust
The fall of kingdoms
Cold march of time
The age of reason
Still wonders why
Smoke and ashes…
I’ve seen the future in ashes
The world eaten by the sun
Watched my family turn to dust
Where the rivers used to run
I’ve seen the end of history
The world is just a dream
Passing through the dark of time
No matter how I scream
Not even a memory…
In bones and dust
An empire rotting
Bent steel and rust
The fall of kingdoms
Cold march of time
The age of reason
Still wonders why
Smoke and ashes…
I’ve seen the future in ashes
The world eaten by the sun
Watched my family turn to dust
Where the rivers used to run
I’ve seen the end of history
The world is just a dream
Passing through the dark of time
No matter how I scream
Not even a memory…
