Andto pa din sa Dubai, para maghanapbuhay
Na kung saan miss na miss na sina Tatay at Inay, at an lht ng ngmhl sa buhay., mahirap nga plng mawalay
lalo na kung minsay pagkain lng ay tinapay, toink! Pero ptuloy an buhay pra sa hinahangad na tagumpay.
1st poem in dubai, more to come.
its so what if i hate you
i still want you to take care
out of all fake love brought us
i just miss the way you stare
at me like you think ill stare back
now its impossible for you to do that
its hardest when i breathe out
all of the air from my lungs
while clinging to the bottom
of this lake trying hard to die from
either this pressure or whatever
this death brings first to measure
how much water i can keep in my lungs
its brought me nothing now
holding onto love like life
its so simple living now
life like the steady breeze
i am coming out of the water
a new man for living now
they said i can choose
anywhere i want to haunt
but i chose the same spot
where i used to kiss you
when i would walk you home
now every visitor that we get
gets this strange feeling
that i never had. of not being alone.

babe i didnt dance for reckoning.
i chanted for it and with my brethren
at the time: hand in hand on the hill

tasting carnal lust for the first night
we kissed to romance andto redwine
smoking out of the finest  rosemary and most potent tyne
i wish i could dream of my new love
because i found a brand new rose
and i got her good like the gods
they thought i deserve it i would
**** it up on the first time it came
to town because my baby well
she dont want me right now.
i just dream of you or less scary things maybe a funeral for two.
she says i scare her well just as well
i only have seven years
to live and die on this planet of hell

4 when i go to heaven. 777
i aint taking any angels with me
and its just as well   666

but imagine one could save me
an unstoppable redemption
i appreciate beauty in grandeur
divinity but yet i am banned in heaven - life is subliminal
i could be a blade for these seven
years maybe even for the Lord himself
would sin be outweighed by all of that death  
and that when i sit in purgatory
waiting to meet my makers
i got the chance to fill out an application
just like for one of my regular day jobs
it said apply to do it all over again
there would be only happiness
guilt free or worries negativities
and sorries. well BabyGirl i wouldnt
i would only start anew
and be different than you saw me
depending on how i saw you
from your video tape
depending on the look on your face
the nights i held you in our firey embrace
and determine if that was just
****

We are handed a ballot
our choices all there
It's our freedom they say ...
to take it from here
Raised to believe we live so free
But seeing right through it ...
I don't agree

What angers me most
what bothers me so
Is how they stand there and lie
like we're too dumb to know
Expected to skip off & vote
to be thankful for the choice
It's a "gift" from our country
to have such a voice

Who are they fooling
They can't be serious, right?
They take all our money
send our love ones to fight
They trick us with lies...
a game of who lies the best
Leave us with little
To fight for the rest

Each promises the world
To fight for us all
But time after time each drops the ball
They all desperately try to recruit for their team
Ask that we hear what their saying ...
to envision their dream

They ask that you rally...
put signs in your yard
They swear they are different
ask that we let down our guard
They want our help...
ask we donate money to the cause
Forced to pretend their not lying
Andto overlook all the flaws

Once their elected
they forget the ******* they fed
Now were stuck with these liars
And all that they said
And what do they care they are still rich as can be
We are back where we started
You know... Living so "FREE"

— The End —
