My impending fear,
With danger near,
Only increased until I began to see myself wondering how he left without shedding a single tear.
And happiness,
My biggest weakness,
Was on a constant downward spiral into something that made even myself wish to digress.
But suddenly,
Fairly abruptly,
I began to understand how his absence brought me a soft feeling of serenity.
My excuses,
Hidden bruises,
I was reluctant to push the blame onto anyone but myself even though I didn't choose this.
People asked me,
Quite literally,
If I was aware that I smiled brighter and laughed louder now that I've had this epiphany.
And finally,
Now I can see,
I allowed myself to be taken for granted just so I wouldn't have to be lonely.
And in the end,
I recommend,
Looking inside yourself and seeing the broken bonds you must mend.

World is full of ****** and rascals
Satan surpasses all innocent angels
Darkness is more with less candles
Hence world goes on in ***** circles

Holy robes portray all filth and dirt
Nakedness goes just up to the skirt
***** hearts and eyes seek comfort
Greed is there to make them pervert

Let hearts and eyes be clear and clean
So that reality cherishes just to be seen
With impure blood people are so mean
Barren lands can not be fertile and green

We speak the true tongue
a language formed
in the deepest trenches
of the earth's oceans
those places where life was formed
where the elemental heat
of the planet
expresses itself
in steam, confusion
and eruption

We sing in the true tongue
music that is blind
yet sees all
its rhyme set to rhythm
a motion of flesh-hung bones

We stand against every fate
yet our song will endure
it will be the last song

And we paint
with a palette stolen
from the sky
on the day of the most perfect dawn

We are God's thieves
stealing a line here and there
dipping a sad bucket
into a river of stars
holding it proudly aloft
the heart shaped into a song
perhaps a poem
nothing more

Yet more than nothing.
And more than enough.

Let it be known that there is a God who watches over the earth
Let it be known that this God
Cares for us
Let it be known that you are not the maker of yourself
Give Glory to Thine God of Heaven and Earth
Let it be known that whether you are an atheist, Muslim or Christian,
You shall all bow before this God
And give accounts of all your deeds on Earth
Whether you believe it or not
There is a God
And He's God whether you believe it or not

A mother’s love will last forever
Sweet children fill her with pride
As a child you know so well
In your mother you can confide

She is always there and loves you
In the good times and the worse
And will always listen to your needs
Pick you up when your hurt

Sometimes things may seem unfair
You have to withstand this test
She is not doing this to hurt you
With love she only wants the best

A mother’s love is meant forever
And it shows with all her tears
You will always be her baby
She will wash away all your fears
