This Distance
Illusion is its nature
this distance between us
division, my mind over my soul
miss the truth
that we are all one
having beliefs and appearances
that list us as separate
behaving like enemies
though we are all God's children
which makes us brothers and sisters
blow through this life far from family
pitch awful words and actions
instead we do
racism and prejudice, petty in all forms
pure-bred in its sin
spasm happens to our spirits
will we ever meet in the middle?
no! the harsh truth and sound
feel the distance in a room in the world?
though we all face the same fate, death then judgement!

Hear Me Roar!
Does anyone out there hear my screams
I'm bleeding gloomy themes
in my thoughts and my heart is turning cold
behold this pain that floods and makes me bold
the world passes me by without care, well good bye
I shall rise and when I am high I will not say hi
chaos my minds state let my heart rotate
let my lips enunciate my struggle while we graduate
to the next breath I'm slowly succeeding the stress
everyday is the study the hurt is the test
I am alone holding this black beautiful flower
and this poetry is my painkiller
in the rain let your mind sit stiller
if not you are ignorant and a knowledge killer
forgive me for my unforgivingness its my strife
abandon me world, I'll forgive you BUT NOT IN THIS LIFE!
Hear me roar!
