The land and it's wishes
They dwelled in riches
They continued to dwell
And was going well
...
Roses are beautiful
But you are more than rose
You are wonderful
Either you choose to sleep or pose
...
Neither silver nor gold we have none
But i believe we can change the world of err
Our father's days had gone
It's our time to change the evil air
...
It flies, flies and flies
It goes up, up and up
It cries, cries and cries
And never beg for food cup
...
Years ago, brother made a first class
today, I saw him rolling multiple weeds
because his birth place is a smouldering hell
where people pray not to see another day
...
MOTHER
my life is full of happiness without an iota of joy
my world is full of sorrow without sadness
My life is like a flood running around, strolling with erosion
...
The last time I checked, she has gone
Her words then, weren't real
Her smiles then, were all fake
But I valued them because they built worlds
...
We are all human
aren't we?
we are all human
until riches segregated us

I am a student and not a bandit
Mixing Grammar with Marxism in order to be a liberator
Mixing lectures in order to be fit
Paid parents, tell me the tales of the children persecutor
...
There are thieves and there's a thief
A thief is dangerous than the thieves
Theives are predictable
But a thief is dynamic in nature
...
Inside the book, there are many pages
Stories of those of ages
Inside the page, there are many histories
Histories that portrays mysteries

If I were able to create like a Creator
I will concentrate on man's mind
I want to retire being a mediator
I will tell them to be kind

When I heard the song from the riverbank
I thought it was a song that would last forever
I fueled the boat and saved my tank
She was already going when I got to the river

Children of wicked mother
Learning from crawling father
They don't cease but maintain the laws
They show all they have including thier flaws
...
I am reader because I want to be a leader
I'm ruling today as I wish to do tomorrow
I don't wantto borrow
Even, in times of bad weather
...
Life is like a country road
Sometimes rough
And sometimes tough
You need to move on even with the load
...
The man in me
The one living inside me
Has been telling me to wake up
From my ugly decorated dreams
...
There are friends and there is a friend
Those that give and those that lend
A friend who helps in striving to borrow
What you will eat tomorrow

Act Of War
The land and it's wishes
They dwelled in riches
They continued to dwell
And was going well
They boasted to acquire more
Without afraid of war
They always curious about something
Whereas there was nothing
They continued on their way
But there was a day
A war broke out
The land refused to work out
The war continue from year to year
With no hope of heir
Dwindled in their wishes
Shortened in their riches
The life of land glutton
It's always rotten
They withdrew from the war
They cease to have more
They asked the muse
In whom the were fused
The outcome of the war
Muse said nothing more
I volunteered to be a remedy
But the land was not yet ready
The land said I look dryer
In my view, they look older.
'It is good to be a coward in hell than to be a coward in life'
'If people's thought are visible, there is going to be a least death in life'
' The best is in us, the only problem is that we don't normally cherish is ours '
' Some words must be left unspoken'
Great job
