I know it is likely I will fail
And the hours  tick away
Growing closer and closer to judgement day
And as I inch closer and closer
I just hope I can make you proud
Overcome it all and rise above
Jorge Apr 2019
Even though, we're hated
We must rise, together we must
Come on and rise with me
Life is a journey, a race some say
We've been abused,
We've been robbed, but through it all
Let's stand together.

I don't like it, racism, I don't
White against Black
Dark against Light, skin this is
I've been wronged, even when right
But still I'll rise up;
Come on my brothers and sisters
We got to rise together
Let's stand together.

Wow, to protect and serve, they say
But instead, they merge
Forces with the wild
And **** nation-wide
Even for this,
We'll rise up.

Our past isn't our future,
We've been beaten, what a disgrace
I need mercy, some justice
And peace, may I please?
I beg please, even if
It's not granted;
We'll rise up,
Let's stand together.
This was inspired by a movie, The Quad, and the music, Rise Up Together, which was highly interesting to me. It intrigued me a lot.

-on that fatal day in Helsinki

It hurts the eye to watch a big star crumble,
not the man but the thing that should make him humble:
the honour to represent his country's prudent heart
- all washed away in ambitious fumble.

Ambition is a strange disease,
it slowly eats the brain, to please
the inner void's persistent hunger
- this hidden pain will never cease.

Don't blame a sick and hollow man
whose fever will bring him down again.
Let's pick a common guy with common sense
- 2020 is our time, o yes, we can.
US election fever is heating up again. Wondering where we will be four years from now.

Like a flower in the dawn of winter

I will blossom.

Defiant

       Tall

                 Proud.

Tomorrow spring dew will caress the stem that holds me upright  

But tonight          

  I rise.                .

I had watched his glow go down
and I saw the hole swallow him whole.
I now watched his light rise
and I saw his eyes rest on mine,
newly ascended.
Easter brings hope

Like the river at night
With the moon shining bright
I see reflection overcoming the light.

The birds in the sky
To eternity they fly
To a place we'd never known.

In the dreams I see
Where you're just me
From broken pieces, into one.

The rain drifts with the wind,
As the clouds began to sing.
Hiding among the mist,
A whole new world...
