It's been a little while
Since my heart had a smile
I was full of bile
Some of them around me were vile
They let their hate for me pile
Oh boy they knew how to rile

Now things begin to turn
Their stomachs start to churn
They want to go on a run
I got a torch, am ready to burn
Where is the urn

They will be no need to weep
What they sow, they'll reap
I see them fall into holes so deep
They wander into the nights so dark
I know out there demons lark

An addict trembles
He approaches a stranger and mumbles
Yesterday he had a bad tumble
He cares not , he just wants a sip

To some it makes them whole
Makes Some crawl into a hole
While others need it to do their role
But who gave us alcohol

A mum cries, she has lost her young son
A young career never blossoms in the sun
Churches urge the youth the bottle to shun
Contemptuous they are ,its time to have fun

Lovers toast their wine glasses
The industry employes the masses
The government collects its taxes
To be honest alcohol is not all about losses

Sibling
Bound by blood
You are my mother's child
Family
We are Supposed to be close
But we are not
We view life differently
We are not friends
We have nothing in common
But blood
They say it's thicker than water
I reckon you will spill the last drop water
Rather than give it to my thirsty ***
Mum cries at thought of our differences
Where did she go wrong
May be it's not her
She did her bit
It is what it is
We should agree to disagree
You did not choose me nor did I you
We are bound by genes
Fate,that's what to blame

What if your dreams came true
Will you be ready
What if your fears went away
Will you appreciate adventure
What if all money lost value
Will you still be rich
What if the night never came
Will you miss the moon and stars
What if a loved one had to go
Will you let them

What is life
Life is a caterpillar  turning into a butterfly
Life is the sound of a child's laughter
Life is the look  in thankful eyes
Life is the silence of guns
Life is the cry of new born baby
Life is redemption of an alcoholic
Life is the smile of the bride
LIFE IS HOPE

Together...what a feeling
What binds us
Is it love
Is it fear of being apart
I love her
She loves me...I think
Why then do we do this
Subject each other to untold pain
Why
She tolerates me
No she loves me unconditionally
I got to stop this
What is that I need to do
She knows me well
I care
I love her
Its just that..I dunno how to act right
I seem to take her for granted
I dont mean to
She means a world to me
Oh boy I love her
Someone please tell her that
Am sorry for my inconsiderations
For all the disappointments
For letting her down
I love her
Please let her know
She's my world

Put some amount on the side
The taxman will sure come for it
Pick your grave site
Know this, no one gets out alive
Guard your heart jealously
Some will seek to break it
Enjoy solitude
Not all company is well meaning
Trod on lonely road
It will give you time to appreciate  nature
Enjoy the joyful bird songs
Sing and dance to all kinds of music
It heals the heart
