In comes and the in comes out
Prepare yourself, this is the final bout!
Challenge me and I challenge thee
I break you, and you break me

Mindless soldiers, yes we are
Prepare yourself, this is war!
For whom I fight, I don’t know
**** you, they commands me so

***** business but business’s good
Beware yourself, this is my hood!
Still you know, not who am me
Glare at mirror, there I am see
Rhyme scheme is a a b b!

Told with a fuss
For my own sake, I have loved
All of it was a muss
For my own sake, have I loved?

I am humor
Humor I am
Melancholic tumor
Spat charlatan stamp

Will do good while away
Wasn’t good this et al
Now asking self of my
Not good even a pinch at all?
Follows a b a b rhyme scheme.
when the telephone rang
at six in the morning
four days before Christmas Eve
   I knew
things were not right

they told me
   my father had died
   at three in the morning
   and would I please come by
   arrange for the burial
   and collect his belongings
at the senior citizens home
where he had spent
the last four years
of his life

they had rested him nicely
he looked at peace
I kissed him on his forehead
   like I always had
   at the end of my visits
and cast a last long look at his figure
   before the body would be taken away

    and suddenly I noticed
       how big his hands were
    they’d never seemed so prominent before

as if in death they sent me a reminder
of how much he had loved his hands
   for work   for play  for sports
   for fight and for survival
   to point and to gesticulate
      they held me as a baby and
         some times
      slapped me as a child
   they repaired toys   split wood
   built sheds   drove cars and motor bikes
   were patient and precise
   caressed and soothed and loved

they were his life
they held his world

my father’s hands
It took me 5 years to pen this first verse about my father's death ... difficult...

Who am I, to tell you what it feels
How to be an ideal human being
Who am I, to make you believe
All the things which can't be seen

Who am I, to cheer you up
When all you wanted is to weep
Who am I, to pamper you
When you don’t even need

Who am I, to say
That I love you
Well, I am just another guy
Who’s going to try

Knitting yarn, she used to say
Son, your karma will always pay
Sooner or later, it doesn’t matter
False pride always fade away

Knitting yarn, she used to pray
May my child be healthy!
And will always be
Alongside me

Knitting yarn, she used to take nap
For filling rest in the gap
She closed her eyes for the time being
And I admired the most beautiful human being

Cheese, say it and be happy
Mourn, do it and be sad
Play, until you die
Treachery, until you lie

Slay, the eternal demon
Hail, to fire
May, you knew the truth
Bitten, by fate's tooth

Hey, yell with all
Energy, until you fall
Live, to die soon
Death, with a deafening boom

Was seeking for a rhyme
About then, a couple walked in front of mine
Reminded me of a man and a lady
With love infinite

Endured many years together
Overcoming fears, one and another
Struggled with several yells and tears
All with their love infinite

The man is father
The lady is mother
And I am son who adores them
With love infinite
