Just like You
I am guilty....

I have danced in the mud of greed
And now I am filthy.

I have turned a blind eye
To the cry of a brother

I have kept silent and watched a Good man Die....

I sat there nodding my head instead of screaming "you Lie"
To the men who climb the stage and fool many others.

Just like you
I am no different from a robber,
No wiser than a misguided suicide Bomber,
No holier than a molesting teacher..

For we all swim in the same River...
Letting it drown another

As long as another doesn't look like father
Mother
Brother
Or sister...

Like you I have seen a lot of wrongs of which I didn't speak and now I forever hold my peace.

Same way
The whole world held their peace
And that's why we live in wa

TOMORROW MAY NEVER SMILE.

Who are you?
Were the words that poped out of his mysterious voice,
Solacing in a narrow broadway,
Racing to doom,
In a suden rush came the red traffic that spelt STOP.
In the Spirit of the female goddess be free!
In the spirit of this wench be loosed!

Panting,panting,
Gasping for air,
Climaxing to never return,
Wishful thoughts wandering to and fro,
Dreading its end,
For tomorrow may never smile.

The step ahead stares in dismay,
Causing a mayhemic scene of tomorrow,
The little ones whisper,
In a sailient mournful cry they hope for my return,
Husbands dead and gone,
And her only faith lies in oblivion.
Tomorrow is a puzzle, and for that,
Tomorrow may never smile.

Insouled in alonness,
Wrapped in suspended isolation,
Met and chatted with a recluse on my way to no where,
Mated and now have today as my only offspiring.
But its reality makes me fear,
Tomorrow may never smile.

Creating a match with a narrowed instinct and romancing my poetic muse to come to fruition of tomorrows failed erection.
Awww call it confusion if u may,
But my reason transcends Jordan,Egypt and even your head.
I may call it effigies in the house of poetry,
Still,
I fear tomorrow may never jump,
May never rise or try,
In probability of its fate, I know,
Tomorrow may never smile.

Truth is bitter....

The tongue that taste..
The leaf of truth..
Proclaims its hate..
For nature's brute..

It hurts the heart..
That does evil..
It tears apart..

That veiled evil...

Hidden in dust..
Forged with lies..
To make it just..
On every eyes..

It makes the wrong..
Sing the dead song..
Of shamed reproof..
On every roof..

With seeming blue..
It works on you..
It heals with time..
And kills the vine...

Of lies, deceit..
That tends to eat..
The conscious meat..
That rebuffs sin..

And though bitter..
It works like charm..
Makes u glitter..
Devoid of harm..

True lies are sweet..
Like poisoned meat..
Its said with ease..
Formed with the tease..

That knocks reason..
A make-believe..
That lasts only..
For a season...

And in the end..
Truth wins the game..
Lies burn, with deep marks..
That ne'r leaves...

.....You; The same.
