How often do you wonder
about the thunder
that shakens your heart
making it pump fear all over your body?
The roar of the gods that compete
with that of your stomach?
The stomping of the legends that
send people fleeing to their huts
to protect what is dear to their hearts,
the electronics that make mother nature cry tears of acidity?

How often have you counted the stars
that are said to hold the spirits of the superior
and wonder why they too hide from
the thunder that screams terror to the ears of the deaf,
and ask yourself where the deemed inferior spirits lay?
for the legends are in heaven
were else the superior are in dead stars that later degenerate

How often do you ponder about God's endurance over one's behaviour
knowing that his wrath could destroy all living beings
and ask yourself why He remains calm like the flow of the river

How often do you ponder about humanity and ask yourself
where the evil that surrounds us comes from
and when will we be cured from it.

I'm not crazy nor am I shy
I'm just insecure and ungrateful
I'm not living in my own world
nor am I giving little thought to things
I'm simply trying to hide my low self esteem from the world
I'm not strong nor am I intelligent
I'm simply good at hiding things and very observant
I'm not the nicest person you've ever met
I'm just excellent at portraying an image
that is accepted by society
Most times I don't show my true colours
I just show the personality that I think you think is best for me
Just to get a couple of thumbs pointed up
and a fake smile from you in order to increase my confidence

Once upon my time
i was a worker in a farm
day and night
i had bruises in my palm
I have no rights
that is system that held us tight
Respect the light skins
As your owner
I own y'all.
Story of my roots
It was written with lies.
where is the truth
We had discovers
they recovered our discovery
and recorded them as one the discovers
the media is poison...... 
they use to poison our mind.....
to believe
like eve
believed in the Garden
Story of my roots
will never be told
as i witness the weakness of my oppressors
but God knows
the truth about our roots

Once upon a time..

I'm a hypocrite
I can feel it running in my veins
Hypocrisy that is in my DNA
Making me lunatic
Hear me as I preach
Watch me as I oppose my words
Observe my actions
You'll see me stabbing your back
Then make you feel the guilt
As I am praised
Your trust becomes dust
Easly blown out of my life
By my duster in my control
I'll laugh with you
Never will I cry with you
Your tears mean nothing to me
But my success
should mean everything to you
I'm a chronic manipulator
Always playing the victim
You got played
A brief description

I feel it
Swimming in my blood
Moving from neuron to neuron
Consuming my whole body
I blink to get it out
Tears roll down my cheek
Containing the products it produced
I shiver as my eyes dart
From one place to another
All my emotions are numb
Only it shows it's dominance
My **** touches the cold floor
As my back leans on the rough wall
Voices in my ear get louder
Second by second their pitch increase
My hands shield me from the noise
Now I can't hold my vigorous heart
That threatens to forcefully pop out
This feeling is worse than heartbreak
Because it completely takes
your heart
Guilt is deadly

I fear the dark room
It has ghosts and truth
It makes my brain eats itself
It makes me turn my back on myself
But then I remember that fear is an emotion that is brought by ignorance
A smile appears
Fear..

In the body of this feminine Earth
Am I the antibody or the cancer that keeps on multiplying killing it slowly?
Am I her knight and shining armour or an unwanted version of ******?
Am I the reason behind her smile
Or am I a dead cell which will be washed away by her ocean tears?
Am I the fire that burns all her beauty or am I the sun that gives her warmth and joy?
In her life what purpose do I uphold?
In her eyes who am I?
Conserve Earth...
