#atrocity
Mum, my sweetheart, I’m tired.
Do you believe or not?
It’s like my legs are broken under
Or maybe they’re gone for short.
My head is being torn apart
By different odd thoughts.
And I can’t, I can't stop thinking.
Fears are around. More mots.
I ***** up my eyes firmly.
I instantly stop my ears.
And I’m silent again, silent again
As if there’re no dread and fears.
Mum, my sweetheart, I’m tired!
I don’t want being afraid to live!
I’m so tired mum! I’m really tired!
There’re too much atrocities.
It’s true, not a myth.
Just little bells,
Ding-dong, ding-dong,
Are chirping sweet sounds.
How nice is their song.
There’s not a bit truth
In that saccharine ‘re-fa-la’.
But there won't be nothing else.
We can’t live without lie.

what a privilege it is
to celebrate with fireworks.
to hear thundering booms fill the air
and not simultaneously be full of fear.
to have the sky painted
with vibrant dazzling colours -
not the grounds stained
with new shades of red.
to hear the calming whistle
and anticipate a euphony -
not a cacophony of
cracks, bangs, screams and cries.
what a privilege it is
to have never heard the latter.
what a privilege it is
to associate explosion
with new beginnings -
not an impending end.
what a privilege it is
to celebrate with fireworks.

Peeping through the hole I can witness the bombs exploding,
Outside the men with their guns loading,
People are running to save their lives,
But the explosives can't lower the cries,
Atmosphere is all gloomy and dark,
Like atrocity has left its mark,
Rage has overtaken humanity,
Is this my destiny?
I remember the old days with mom and dad,
How I was their favorite lad,
Spending time with my friends would be a carnival,
Where everyday was no less than a festival,
But it lived for a short period of time,
Soon power made people commit crime,
They all have become blood thirsty,
where all the decisions are based on money,
They say the war had been won,
How could it be when mom and dad are gone?

I have become an atrocity
Sure
It's possible I'm being hard on myself
But that's only because no one else ever is
There are people who criticize me
But only my actions
Not who I AM inside

_Why,_
You ask,
_Use ten words
When two will do?_
‘Cos a pair is always eight words too few.

Good will tames us
from beasts to sheeps.
A check to balance,
to lull and please.
The mind the instincts
long instilled.
Easily coaxed,
compelled, confused.
Singing folklores,
lovely tunes.
Humming mockery
alluring runes.
Days and years gone
past in fire. Burnt
bodies alive
Killed? No.
Sacrificed.
Six thousand years we've stood in bliss.
Molded by wisdom,
civilized hypocrites.
Ignorance trance masks
blood-ridden terrors.
What's leftover you see
they say humanity.
To me however,
A hollow excuse.

Junkyards.
Filled with oreos.
And dogs.
And cracked windshields.
And not at much filth
as a filth-ridden hilt
on a sword
of a king
or a god.

We never really know
What happens in a person’s home.
We can’t really know
What happens when they’re alone.
It’s every block and street
Even from those we trust to lead.
Too often parents turn
And simply refuse to even heed.
Crying and waiting for the rainbow
After seasons of so much rain.
It’s a heartbreak one must suffer
Waiting the rainbow to come again.
Not one in a million
There are far too many suffering
Not one in a thousand
Even if parents don’t know a thing.
Not one in a hundred
That is only one small percent.
They are the victims
And they never gave their consent.
Crying and waiting for the rainbow
After seasons of so much rain.
It’s a heartbreak one must suffer
Waiting the rainbow to come again.
Many think it’s a seldom thing
Yet it is too large a fraction of the whole
Robbing the children of youth
And taking away the basis of their soul.
They don’t want to admit it
But if they care about them, they must
Because abusing children is
A vile way to steal from them their trust.
Crying and waiting for the rainbow
After seasons of so much rain.
It’s a heartbreak one must suffer
Waiting the rainbow to come again.

Fueled with hate
Everyone thinking that this gate
Is the way to defeat
Or combat perpetrators
Negativity fills the air
As if no God is there
Selfishness will eat you
From inside out
You can't afford to
Live without a soul you,
Should prepare for the worst
But only hope for the best

Why is there a little boy lying on the beach?
Washed up.
Lifeless.
All for a new life too far to reach?
Why is there a little boy lying on the beach?
Terrorists
Heartless.
What happened to the human rights we all preach?
Why is there a little boy lying on the beach?
Traffickers.
Gangs.
Displacing people no home and no speech.
Why is there a little boy lying on the beach?
A son.
No future.
We hang our heads and weep!

I died in the black and white of the Great Depression
I died in the blast of Hiroshima
I died in the forests of Vietnam
And none of them knew who I was
But when I died in America’s recession I was lying on the pavement
And my head was sticking out my cardboard smoking a cigarette
Pleading for a second chance at life, another birth to come out of a hole
I was bleeding to live the life like others
Marrying together and Christmas was every other year
When my tears fell apart at the sight of my children opening their gifts
All the things I made for them and Christ, are you listening?
I’m blessed at the moment and nothing is wrong
They asked if I believed
They asked if I hoped
And they asked if I prayed
And they asked if wanted to come back to earth
And I told them all I never thought I could exist again
