A world divided
by the undecided
great thinking nations
parade their pathetic explanations
and in between
where cultures clash
the disease that is sold
is just a nasty rash

A world entwined
where reality is redefined
each ruling power
builds a higher tower,
in defence of its lands
its assets, its worth,
continuing to pile higher
their ******* on our earth

A world renowned
for the loudest sound,
shattering our foundations
giving to us complex complications
we have great uncertainty
thanks to supposed great thinkers,
who sit back and ponder
why are our cities full of heavy drinkers

A world severely saturated
by a world frustrated,
a world of consumption, of immoral obesity
a world that's long forgotten , justice for humanity
a world in an horrific state of unbelievable shock
a world crumbling fast as we all chip away from the rock

the land we walk
polluted by all the wasted talk
mass graves of the innocents
they adorn our bludgeoned neon lit valleys
the politicians, the money takers and decision makers
they will continue to do as they please

Destructive the words
From a mouth with no respect
Hurt and damage from beauty
Not what I'd come to expect

Devastating
And ever so complicating
A power fuelled by love and rage
Demonstrative and demonic
Spreads and takes hold
Like a disease, bubonic

No cure no relief
Yet in its talons we unite
Consumed with passion
One spark to ignite
A flip side
Where tears are dried
Pain solidifies
I see your name in the stars, in the skies

So hard to deter from a path
Where love rules like a wrath
We collide, we combine
We swim in the divine

Love in silence, under wraps,
behind bars,

best place to hide
and show no scars

Love in vain
holds no attraction

love in pain
a life full of distraction

Love without tenderness
shall be the way

no bond no union
each and every lonely day

Love from a distance
and no pathetic excuse

love in silence
no barrage of abuse

Hold no candles
that never can burn

with one look of the eye
love can so easily turn

I cannot fly
I cannot soar
But across the concrete caves
I can roar
Through the oceans
I cannot glide
Trapped on land
I can cross the divide
As a tree I'll not grow
Impervious to time and its pain
But I can lay the roots
To keep me from the insane
Like the wind that whips
A formidable force
The sun and rain
Who follow their own course
I try to be
Like them free
But I cannot fly
I cannot soar
If only for myself though
I can be so much more

Love lost is a memory made
A smile awakens as the tears fade
Time together short, but explosive
Hard though as love is so intrusive
We ran , we discovered , we left quite abrupt
And now my thoughts you have managed to corrupt
I see so much more of you these days, pity that its only in the memory made

Jet propulsion
My verbal compulsion
An anarchic animation
A philanthropic fascination
Writing for writings sake
But not as fast as my thoughts fall and break
A thousand pens, a thousand pages
Shining a light through our dark ages

At times medieval
Our futuristic principle
The world today and tomorrow, our cultures, our social status,
Thinkers, doers, lovers and haters
Our homogeneous habitat, segregated by points of view
A world that's not really bothered about the likes of me and you

You are my summer sun, and I am your winter rain
You give to me so much happiness, all I can muster is a lot of pain
Those tiny specks of disturbance, the ones that make your eyes glare
I'll take the credit for them, of which you like to make me fully aware
Your cocktail of love, beauty and serenity, tainted by a bad tasting uninspired spirit
Your tolerance, your compassion, your benevolence, I test them to the limit
Maybe I should run that long mile
Everytime you smile
Leave you in that place where you are creative, happy and carefree
A place I now fear has no room for a guy like me
