Waving the white flag of surrender
Inside the war rages on
Compliancy is a love language to me
Yet a rebel with his fist in the air
I love it when all the pieces fit
The picture of unity
But you and me could be far from it
Still my mouth is sealed with the treaty of peace.
Adam El-ghirani Mar 2021
Write these wrongs
Write these sins
Write them down so I won't forget.
Adam El-ghirani Mar 2021
Climb with me
          Down we go
Will this ever stop?
            Gee I don't know
It's getting dark are you scared?
            Here comes the storm are you prepared?
         Who is author of this poetry?
Think he might be ADD
        Still with me? Good
Turn the lights on and see
      Everything you thought was real
Was really just make believe.

Eat these words
Eat this verse
Fill this fist
Know my hurt

See these rage?!
Hear my pain?!
Tip toe around you quietly
But now it's time for the choir to sing
Adam El-ghirani Mar 2021
Was I not enough?
Or was i too much to handle? Did my words taste sour in your mouth?
Want to go another round?
This time I'm calling the shots

Try to take another swing at me but you swung to hard
Thought you was stable until
Til you pulled the rug from under my feet
Adam El-ghirani Mar 2021
From the begging when darkness ruled the earth
You spoke life and light was born
From the dust you made life
You spoke my very existence with just a word and who could imagine the awe in wonder you saw in me when all I saw was dirt.

In the garden I ran and hid
But your love called me out
Grace covered my sin
Now in adoration I will bow
And sacrifice my life just as you sacrificed your crown.
Adam El-ghirani Mar 2021
Is there a home for me?
Is it filled with love?
Do colors collaborate and burst through the house leaving nothing but awe and wonder?

Is there a family for me?
People who know me yet still love me
Does it exist in reality or in my imagination?
I long for a home like that
Is there a place like that?
