Deep inside me, it’s still raining In a black night, heavy with thunder. And while I wait under the eaves of the roof For either a key or for the storm to break,I think about how to squeeze out another day’s wage, Since I’m still in this race for square footage—Just to prove myself to the world one more time. But still, I hear a voice inside, escaping me at times… Like an owl in the deep, black, rainy night, full of thunder. And it says: "Don’t kiss the bosses' ***** Don't be a party bot… a yes-man Just to build a three-story house when you only need one, Just so it's bigger than the neighbor's. You don’t need those plaster lions on the gates Just to spite the world. But then, the rain stopped. Freedom arrived

The Plaster Lions
I fall, I rise, To fall once more... Just to learn, How to endure..

Learning to Rise
I sit in yet another night without end, thoughts travel there far away, far away where the soul remained, where everything is born and dies of pride. And now I think while I write this, a man without a soul, wiping tears. Tears flow, a river without end,the soul aches, I continue to dream.. I still speak the verses,in that deep night while I burn. I burn still in the desire to dream there far awaywhere every night in thoughts I am born again.

Where the Soul Remained...
Today, as we strive to reach the heightsof life in the eyes of others,we are surrounded by a hunger for square footage,vacations, and exotic places.Craving the taste of papayas,chasing the hollow glow of likes,yet when the day ends, in a virtual worldamongst virtual friends...we are left alone with ourselves.Man, do you truly wishto keep climbing higherwithin the abyssof the virtual world?
