#luxuries
The world is running behind illusions, Illusions of beauty, riches, and luxuries. Sincerity is found nowhere, In these days of declining appreciation. Pure ones are being judged on their simplicity, Tricksters keep tricking and aren't getting questioned. Streams of hatred are flowing, Dreams of honesty are getting crushed.

Streams of Hatred
Sometimes I imagine myself as a Queen With a spiked crown Ruler of women and men and all in between My arms, ever so brown, Laden with jewels and stones And at my feet, Bones. Sometimes I imagine myself as a person Of remarkable feats And at my dinner table, Delicious meats With silks of my own, You will forget my skin tone Sometimes I imagine myself to be on the throne.

Imagine Myself
I’ll never forget to love you, So long as you’re gone, But once you’re home There are no guarantees; Daily luxuries And nightly TV Pray the devil in me.
