Tuhade bin sannu sohneya koi hor ni labhna,
Tuhade naal hi saddi rooh nu sukoon milna.
Tussi saddi jaan ** mahiya,
Pyaar kardi haa tuhanu inna saara.
Aawe tuhanu jado hichki,
Tuhadi jaan tuhanu yaad kardi.
Har vele har dua ch tuhanu yaad karde,
Har janam tussi hi milo ohi mangde.
Saat janam ki assi hazaar janam lave,
Bs sadde utte sirf tujhada haq hove.
Warna koi Zindagi na mile sannu jide ch tussi na **
Tuhado baajo hor nahiyo chahida koi,
Ye mahiya har janam sirf tuhadi layi hoyi.
Saddi har peedh da ilaaj tussi hi ne,
Rooh muskandi saddi jado tussi muskande.
Sadde har nakhde tussi hi jhel sakde,
Har duavan ch sirf tuhanu assi mangde.
Jeho tussi khayal rakhde ** sadda,
Tuhadi rooh da karun mai sajda.
Ankhiyan ch ankhaa paake jado dekhde,
Chand di Chandni hi hi feeki dasde.
Inni khubsurat hai rooh tuhadi,
Dil jeda saaf tey saccha utey mardi.
Sab tou sohna sohneya mileya mainu,
Jachde ** tussi hi jaan Meri sannu.

This is my renaissance,
My rebirth inna way,
I wanna forgive,
I wanna forgive you for everything,
Everything you’ve done,
Everything you’ve forgotten,
Everything that we don’t wanna remember,
I wanna move on.
This is my renaissance,
My rebirth inna way,
I’ve cut all the skin,
Burned all the pain,
I’ve cried my eyes waterless,
Now I can move on.
This is my renaissance,
My rebirth inna way,
From this point on,
I will remember,
Remember all the good you’ve done,
But I will remember the bad too,
It will make me stronger.
This is my renaissance,
My rebirth inna way,
From this point on,
I will be free,
I will be free to be happy,
Free to be sad,
I will be free to let people closer,
But still keeping them at arms length,
Now, I am stronger.
This is my renaissance,
My rebirth in a way,
I’m moving on,
I’m moving on strong,
Reborn and Happy.

Some days yu know, mi just don't andastan
How a man can do di tings him do, an see himself a man.
Him seh dat god give im good sense a will and a soul
to know right ting fram wrang ting, to know pit from pothole.
But im covet an steal an shed blood
like a beast. Then im walk inna church
and pray god give im peace.
Is a human condition an a weakness a flesh
Is flaw in im naycha, a thorn in him breast.
But we human creecha, ought betta than best.
Ought draw a distinction from fish and from fowl.
Ought rise above avarice , greed and the rest.
But sometime I feel sure that the writing on wall.
will come to fruition and mankind will fall.
Is a small part of hu-man sunk deep in we core
what comes up and sprout wings and carry us shore.
Is that thing there, part spirit, part will, part divine.
What pull us from struction then skitter, then soar.
Then beat wings in hubris like Icarus lore.

apathy, is me with you,
i am
the oceans,the rivers&lakes,the
mountains&valleys,the atmosphere
the Earth,Jupiter,Venus,so on,
i am the Milky Way,Andromeda,all
other galaxies known&unknown,all
the stars&constellations,the asteroids,
alien planets&blackholes all curled up in
the fabric of the Universe
but
nothing specific mind you
my dear
...with you
Love is philosophy
safe in its reach
apathy is me, with you
strung-out on the antidote
with you,
the sickness issa comforting creature;
the aquamarine-moon cradles
madness like a fetal daydream
—with you
love is scientific,
boring in its dissection
love is petty
in its honesty
apathy,is me.
with you,i am un
being un
dulating b/t there
& there
nowhere near here;
apathy, is m e
and y o u inna vacuum
i am? with you—cut
me
T(in)WO;
apathy,is me, with me and you,
i am
body inna fever
&
(my) voice dis
embodied
inna tomb;
send your fever meat thru a tube
kiss&kiss my blistered
bliss
we’re necro
philiacs
apathy, is me with you

Coca-cola has the taste you never get tired of, always refreshing, thats why things go better with coke after coke after joke
Is this a joke
Cola-Coke
I musta mispoke
Coke.
Blow your smoke
and my heart evoke
Mr. Coke
Mr. Coke
Strong as an oak
I swear, you tryna provoke
I’m being short-changed
Changed by the pain
of empty wallets and weight gain
Is this the dope or just coke in my
Brain veins
Cause I swear e’re time it rains
I get a little bit stickier
with that sugar sweet
fresh, ahhhhh
taste you just can’t beat
Without a drink
my meal ain’t complete
I trick or treat
for that bittersweet
flavor that makes my heart wanna beat
Say bye, wave hi to e’re passerby that I meet
I’m incomplete
Is what they want me to think
And so i drink
I drink and I'm
filled
I drink and I’m
thrilled
Just to be a little part in their bigger party
Seein only things that they want me to see
I nod to agree
I read the marquee
Lock down and guarantee
But I’m still nobody
Nobody to you
and nobody to me
and now I see
they WANT me to spend money
But I’ll spell it out for you
M-O-N-E-(WHY)
do I buy things
I feel a certain way
Why do I buy things
I had a bad day
I think I buy cause I’m worthess
gotta validate and purchase my purpose
And coke’s throwin me inna circus
of life, liberty and the pursuit of happy times
But it's hard to pay your way with nickels and dimes
but I can refund this bottle for 5 cents
or break it, and it be my defense
How does that make sense
Now I’m on the fence
Do I buy another bottle
or a six-pack for the road
I don’t really know
when it comes to cola-coke
coca-cola
sugar sweet
can’t be beat
Will that be debit or credit
Our chip reader doesn’t work
See you tomorrow
Mr. Coke

Rolled tight and sealed
with my lips this pome
I wrote for you
and placed inside a bottle
Tide is going out
as the sun is setting
with a pome inside a bottle
and you still on my mind
Blue winds and waves
will bring it to you
This pome inside a bottle
Just another love song
like the ones we used to listen to
as the moon rose o'er the ocean
watching the tide come in.

Shayad mai koi changey karm kitte hone,
Jado mahiya mera mere sang hove.
Har pal sohna jeya lagda,
Mainu maitho oo mangda.
Har janam mai sirf haa tuhadi,
Zindagi chahe kinna vi khelle kabaddi.
Har kadam tere naal chalangi,
Bdi masoom hai tuhadi saadgi.
Tuhanu assi takde rahiye,
Saddi dadhkan te naam tera likhiye.
Har saah ch vasdeya mera sajna,
Teri baahan ch samet kayenaat haa.
Sohne taan loki duniya ch bathere ne,
Sab tou sohna mereya mahiya ve.
Ohdi har awaaz ch inna sukoon haiga,
Har rooh nu pavitra paak kar janda.
Rabb ne vi taar ohna naal jode ne,
Tu soch vi sakda mai kinna tenu chauhndi ve.
Shohrat rutba daulat shaan ameeri te,
Eh kam malak de hor wazir vi kar dende.
Jeda kammal mera sohneya karda,
Oh taan koi vi ni kar sakda.
Ohde warga dost tey humsafar khuda vi ni,
Ohnu daaman ch paaya mai saubhagyawati.
Ohdi dewa ki misaal,
Oh haiga bemisaal.
Vekha tenu nitt subah-o-sham ve,
Tenu vekh har khildi har sawere.
Harry muradda poori hoiya,
Jado mileya mainu mahiya.

50,
50 bodies,
50 dead bodies,
50 dead bodies lay still,
50 dead bodies lay still on Jumu’ah,
50 dead bodies lay still on Jumu’ah because who they pray to,
50 dead bodies lay still on Jumu’ah because who they pray to was not the same as the white man,
50 dead bodies lay still on Jumu’ah because who they pray to was not the same as the white man, but Allah has given them the highest place in Jannah.
Neither we or Allah will forget these 50 martyrs,
who's blood was shed by a white man with no love in his chest,
the white man who thought he could,
but will never win.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un.

it's always
" the box "
we stop.
we throb lobbing red breast robins
inna box, over double rainbows.
we lost
what the nail
had no art to crucify -
and we lie -
on a tarmac of truth, our err planes depart dark waters
for black
skies !
and it's not
You Yet...
only half as

We all lonely, blood
Tis true
Witcha friends and close love family
Each adem a solitaire island
Reaching outta sanity
As they sink into the blue.
------------
We all lonely
Tis true
From Everton Grey ta Tom Driscoll
All the way thru
Then the vision it project
Only red, green or quicksand blue.
We struggle-
We survive-/
But do we want to ?
-----------------
We all lonely
Dat one we can all pass da clue
Touch is tempory
Togetherness is empty
And millions od family guy
Pretend, as each lickle day pass by
'Cause wit loneliness you find
That da preacher guy tis just as blind
As the offering of a psychotic mind.
-----------------
We all lonely, De'Anna
Eden da guy wit letter arta tis name
My boy heart it cry 'me soul tis lame'
He study for good, good 20 year education
But him just makin' a reservation
My boy just another at de station
Where trains come and trains go
When the night in his world cloud oder
Tis long, Tis painful, Tis slow.
My boy hold his qualifications hi
But thru the blindness of it all
He fail to spot an obvious lickle lie
Tis not tis mind that hurt
And him guise all the brethren
Ended trampled down
Under 6 foot dirt.
-----------------------
Tis psychology guy
We all stuck inna freeze frame
Where we don't recognise eachother
It no register who talk.
So some woman invents a personality
On the internet - in da gallery
She actin' real cool
Tinking she makin' progress
'I'm happy' she say
'I've friends'
Sooner or later her converse ends
And da computer say wipe clean
And the imaginary places her mind has been
Get drowned by da lickle message she hadn't seen
An she overcooks a dinner for the alcoholic business guy
Who has shared with her this lifelong lie
20 years gone by.
We all lonely, Wendy
We find someone new
But we forget dey lonely too
And both skies seem to rain
Eden tho da sky tis blue
I'm lonely now
Wit you.
-------------------
And God who gave us life
And God who gave us all
Probably gave us loneliness
Cause he didn't want to be alone.
