The Cry of Africa
In the heart of Africa... a tale unfolds,
of oil and gold... diamonds and coal
riches untold... of lands turned cold.
Our soil, a treasure... deep and vast
Yet stolen by shadows from the very past.
Corrupt leaders sit... on lofty thrones
Trading futures... for foreign loans.
They dine in luxury... in gold arrays,
While the people suffer... lost in haze.
The streets are weary... hope is thin
Promises broken... time and time again.
They speak of change... with polished lies
ELÖFÖKANBALÈ... now, our tensions hyped
While...

Big Blue
Walking around this big wide world
Try not to feel small as I go up against
The machine that’s built up
And fortified against me
It’s a feeling can’t explain
But it leads me back to pain
Feelin small in this big wide world
Try to make a small indentation
Feel all alone in a world of almost
8 billion
How can you feel alone among
So many people
But the voice of just 1 person
Can change and make the mind wrap around
So we’re not ants and we won’t just build a mound
Just 1 person in this...
Try not to feel small as I go up against
The machine that’s built up
And fortified against me
It’s a feeling can’t explain
But it leads me back to pain
Feelin small in this big wide world
Try to make a small indentation
Feel all alone in a world of almost
8 billion
How can you feel alone among
So many people
But the voice of just 1 person
Can change and make the mind wrap around
So we’re not ants and we won’t just build a mound
Just 1 person in this...

Peace
When you are at peace
with yourself
You find beauty
in everything else
And that beauty
is a source of joy;
a joy, that emanates from others
But is...
Your very own
with yourself
You find beauty
in everything else
And that beauty
is a source of joy;
a joy, that emanates from others
But is...
Your very own

I live for sin
Burn the little panties off of cuties with a flaming stick
Maturity ain't for me, Jesus wants you to suck his dick
Pick them up for the cinema and I guarantee they'll give you some head
If not, that's ok, cause your mom will sodomize you in her king size bed
I live for
I live for
I live for sin
Friday afternoons I go through people's mail
Usually old mother fuckers who are old & frail
Ripping people off is a talent that I can't give up
I'll piss in your coffee, taste good right, you stupid fuck
I live for
I...

War is never the solution
No one is victorious in war
Ruthless, heartless leaders, decide your country & mine that a bloodbath is needed
The innocent & poor will always lose this battle
War is money
War is power
War is dominance
War is pain
War is death
War is hell
Hell is war
One day, compassion & empathy will prevail
People will unite to overthrow government, big corporations & big pharma
If & when that day comes,
The people of this world,
You & I
Will live freely & happily forever
Ruthless, heartless leaders, decide your country & mine that a bloodbath is needed
The innocent & poor will always lose this battle
War is money
War is power
War is dominance
War is pain
War is death
War is hell
Hell is war
One day, compassion & empathy will prevail
People will unite to overthrow government, big corporations & big pharma
If & when that day comes,
The people of this world,
You & I
Will live freely & happily forever

good advice from captain mainwaring
everyone thinks there’s
a conspiracy against
them, though, are the facts.
relax. you know you invent
them. I don’t know why you don’t all
just calm down, chaps

Victory
My sibling had a journey through pressure
in the sear of August
increased tensions,
following a deliberation
rusted and decayed out leaders
they sang the song of the death dirge
we can all now rest in peace

A Metallic Vision
Long long ago before I became a SCATTERBRAIN watching EVIL DEAD movies repeatedly, I was ACCUSED of VIOLENCE on HALLOWS EVE. The DIRTY ROTTEN IMBECILES (D.R.I.) who always needed an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT lived near the WATCHTOWER. They agreed with my METHOD OF DESTRUCTION (M.O.D.). We were SICK OF IT ALL, POSSESSED in bringing this faction down to their knees. A CORROSION OF CONFORMITY was happening in our towns and on our streets. If any DEFIANCE came their way, you were FORBIDDEN to enter their SACRED REICH. There needed to be LETHAL AGGRESSION. A FORCED ENTRY into their METAL CHURCH. We knew...

I’m the [won] you know
The {wind} you show
The [one] who scribes vivid
Like {win} breeze letting go
Some proclaim me as Duice
Others call out truce
I collab with great poets
and pen diamonds to fruit
Called on like quotes
In book verse that never choke
Freestyling grams
to chop it up with my bloke
That’s my #1 fam
The Ultimate Cure unno am
Lit across shores in poetry slams
Duice at peace imagine that in reality ...

only the kettle requires boiling
why do you believe some nonsense
that you've read on the internet
and dismiss anything from the bbc
you should try listening to radio 4
extra time to relax with a cup of tea
and a lowering of blood pressure

Elysium
Mourning air whispering over me
You were all mine seven months ago
I was denied entry
Elysium
Will I see you again?
Each day of mine is closing without light
Where will I rest my head for my eternity?
You were all mine seven months ago
I was denied entry
Elysium
Will I see you again?
Each day of mine is closing without light
Where will I rest my head for my eternity?
