I see a hooded man walk into my neighborhood Dressed up in black, from the boots to the hood He prowls the street like a cat in the middle of the night Walks around hands in his pocket until he reaches his target Kablaam kablaam kablaam Gunshots ring in the air The people disappear Only to reappear with fear to find their star lying dead What's his crime? They all asked... Who's the killer? They all wonder... Yet nobody knows but the sender

Hooded Man
If roses are red and violets are blue The colour of my heart is darker than soothe If roses are red and bullets are lead Loving me is a dead end If roses are red and loving is shared Don't expect mine, for its all in shreds

I miss packing my bag the night before... I miss the open road… I miss the journey… I miss the airport announcements… I miss calling Nnem Omma before the flight takes off I miss the beauty of the clouds from above them I miss waiting for my luggage to come through I miss asking for directions I miss the hotel rooms I miss the ****** food I crave that high when the plane leaves the ground I crave new sights, new smells and new food I crave a town where no-one knows my name I crave saying hello in a new language I crave new wonders and adventures I crave postcard-worthy pictures I crave the journey yet to begin

Love and Death

Hot Car
In the wake of Dawn She cries and moans In her womb was a little one Alas she’s delivered of a son “Welcome My Boy to the World” He finds comfort in her warmth and Finally decides she should be Mom He looks around with dreamy eyes Straight into her tear filled eyes He cant understand what was wrong But ‘tis her way of showing Joy “Get Ready for Life Boy…Get ready” In comes a man who embraces Mom Carries him up and says praise to God The way he smiled says he was Dad He felt so strong to be in these arms And slept hearing these words twice “Welcome To Life, Welcome To Life”

Welcome To Life
Long have I searched for answers, Met not one that knows Over different lands and waters This quest takes me high and low The furnace heats up and I cannot bear But clutch my heart with silence and tears A thin line between love and hate, Many have died in faith or is it fate, For things they believe or things they want to believe, Many talk, many walk, many more fear, But in those last moments, they take it all in silence and tears. First it was love, now it is hate, Vengeance burns red in her heart like hells gate Who could she tell, who would believe her Weak and helpless she succumbs to her father Who always has his way and ties her to a chair Here she cries every night...In silence and tears Another day, another lay- he would say Little did he know there was a price to pay Now he lays helpless on his sick bay Another passenger on the broad way If only he’d known there was something to fear, He wouldn’t be here, watching them – watching him In silence and tears In my darkness I see the light, Blazing hot but not blinding me eyes Now, I remember it was sometime in March It must have come from her smile The kind that puts color on a black heart With only a name she leaves me in silence and tears.
