My dear love...
When I'm breathing my last
I want to be locked in your embrace
I want to feel your nourishing touch
...your breath filled with warmth and passion
I want to take in the aroma of your existence one last time
Then as my eyes begin to close gradually
Gently lay me on the bed
With a pillow under my head and sing me a soft lullaby
The sweetness of your voice and your illuminating presence will make even death seem beautiful

Of late the mind is disturbed
Sometimes I feel a bit perturbed
The heart is in pain
What's going on right now is truly insane
The threshold for injustice has been crossed a long time ago
It's alarming now.. It's no more a watchable show
If one can't question or debate
Then I guess from now on we have to address democracy as 'LATE'
The constant labelling and trolling
The abuses and the name calling
This hasn't and will not deter the fight
It may seem dark now but after darkness there's always light
And I'm still hopeful that amid all the barbarism, the violence and the clashes
Someday.. Democracy shall rise once again.. Like a Phoenix from the ashes
Dear Mr Fascist...you can threaten and impose a ban
But please don't underestimate the power of a common man

The game of divide and rule, 
Started by some conniving fool.
Since the beginning of its conception, 
It has brought about all the destruction.

Empires are fallen with this rule,
Power hungry people's tool.
First create fear and uncertainty, 
Show a carrot for some sense of security.

The game was played for ages, 
Creating rifts to ignite rages.
Why people can't see the string?
Looking at the carrot, they start to sing.

Unity, coöperation and empathy,
We do not need the political boundary.
All current issues are global,
Climate change is not just local.

We need to unite for greater good,
See beyond the fool's gold.
Understand that Earth matters,
Act now before it shatters.
When all right wing politicians want, is to make us fight among oversleves and ignore the real issues...

Your love used to be like footprints on wet cement,
Marked forever.
Now it is like the footprints on sand,
Easily walked over, easily erased.

As I say my hello to you,
I begin to prepare my goodbye.
Every hello ends with a goodbye.

So hello,

I wish our love wasn’t so cruel,
but our love conflicts with one.
Love had a different journey for us.  

I never understood your love,
and you never understood mine.
We confused our love.

I had my flaws and you had yours.
We were imperfect,
even though we worked wonders.

I was once your hello,
then I became your goodbye.
I was another goodbye to you.

Now I’m saying goodbye,
even if you were the first to leave.
So goodbye...

Love is a luxury
Yet no one can label it
Some have a lack of love
The land in their heart unfertilized
No fruits to be produced
I must admit
We could use a little unconditional love
Let the land be fertilized
Fruits of peace
Fruits of patience
Fruits of joy, kindness, gentleness
Oh, the feeling of goodness
Yes, it is a luxury
Love is a luxury. We can stay alive without it but living without it is different. Who can truly live without some kind of love in their life? We all need a little bit of love in this crazy world. Love makes life better and easier.

Our love was like a library
Everything inside us was used
And outdated
We were constantly shutting
Each other up
And when we finally did talk
We discovered ourselves
Long checked out

Life's just hard.
Have you heard?
This song's for all.
Just a word.
We all work.
We all strive.
None of us
Get out alive...

Life is HARD.
We ALL cry.
God's no Santa
In the sky.
We have to live.
We have to die.
God's no Santa
In the sky.

Just cuz you're "good"
Li'l girls & boys
Don't mean you get
Designer toys!

Don't you listen
To preacher's talk!
They DECEIVE!
They will WALK!!

The biggest LIE
THERE'S EVER BEEN!
Kenneth Copeland
Joel Osteen!!

Listen here
To this ink!
It's much deeper
Than you think!
God got it all,
The kitchen sink...

But He don't hand out
Yachts & Porsches!
Mansions. Jewelry.
Bet the HORSES!

He's got RULES!
He don't take guff!
Folks! The Lord
Has had ENOUGH!
Don't you know?
God is TOUGH!!

Don't mean to snoop.
Don't mean to pry.
But in YOUR prayer life
ALL A LIE??
Listen people...
You can try.
But God's no Santa
In the sky.
