If Man Had Wings
What a tragedy that man be born with wings!
What a funny sight to behold!
What great evil he would accomplish!
What measure of conflict would exist!
Grief heightens
Nations crumble
One man rules
One man supremacy
With curious acute minds, he goes forth
To find the dwelling place of his creator
To open up the clouds that cover the earth
And changes terrestial lives
Will he dwell on land?
That is just not certain
But he would rather enjoy the sorrows of the sky
And move over war barricades
Carrying his armour on his back
And fast shall he crumble
After he expends all his energy
And death shone over him

End Of The World
What shall we see when the world ends?
Shall our lives be lends?
Everybody shall be in confusion
As if they just suffered concussion
There shall be a lot of distraction
Not to mention,
The end of the world shall be a total destruction
It might appear like fiction
But death shall then be like a distribution
Except some who make their life a pension
Within men, there shall be tension
And fallacy, shall be people's word function
And hopes to survive is corrosion
Widespread sorrow and desperation
Shall be their story like an infection
And reality of their past their trembling section
But slowly shall I stand to watch in affection
The end of the world in total succession

My first date- judgement day of a lady
Lying on my bed,
looking at the mocking ceiling,
sinking in thoughts
Why must I do this?
Why shouldn't it be the other way round?
But I know someone had to make the move
I swiftly moved to my round table
My palms, sweaty
My shoulders high and fragile
My heart thumping
He'll be here any minute
And I have to say what I have to say
And do what I have to do
The next minute, I'm on my feet
Pacing the floor timidly
My back pack in it's right place
Was I going to speak first again?
My face was hot like coal,
red with blood,
glowing like burning magnesium

When God Is Angry
Have you seen the earth turn against it's inhabitants?
Or the earth become a line?
Has the earth ever lost it's gravitational force?
Or it's frictional force?
Do you know that lightening could change directions?
And that rivers could be poisoned?
Do you know that arrows could be shot down from heaven?
Have you seen men crawl in hunger and ill health?
Or has the earth been smashed by two or more bigger planets?
Have you seen animals overthrow the human race?
Is it clear that the earth could swallow?
That fire knows locations of people and places?
That man is powerless before his God?
And could crush and vanish in a second?
Do you know...
...that man still wants to know
when God is angry

I want to dream of flying
I want to dream of flying
Soaring high
High up in the skies
High above my sorrows
High above my sufferings
High above my peers
High in the sky
To feel the freedom
And the peace
And the mercy
And the happiness
A weightless life
Of joy
Where I get what I want
And not thrown to the ground
And not made a fool
Not called one
Not felt one
Not seen one
And not seen fear, either

Do you hear my name?
At the sails of passion
At the streets of gold
At the peak of the mountains
At the upper chambers of the castle
At the midst of great scientists
At the top of the Newton's laws
At the breaking of the Enrico's chains
At the lordship above Alexander
At the Solomon's city alliance
At the realm in the seven crowns of Egypt
At the world's wise decision seat
At the mansion on the earth's orbit
At the money burning government refinery
At the chief seat of a great presidential lunch
At the cover page as every picture and writing
At the command as my bodyguard recruit nation's militants
At the midst of believers in the kingdom of God
Do you hear my name?
And do you hear my name again?
Lord, if Thou shalt deny me all, do not deny me the last

I'm too hot to fight
Expensive shirts
Euro tailored trousers
Dollar coated boots
The swagger is my style
Even the street respects me
All eyes move in accordance with my body's motion
Packs of dollars fall out of my pocket
Someone picks it and run
I pretend like nothing happened
Why didn't I struggle to get back my money?
'Cos I'm too hot to fight
I walk into a building
My hairstyle, so many comments
My smile, so many triping
My style, so many calling
I pass a pack of hot girls like I saw no one
One of them goes up to me to slap me for taking no notice
I use my towel to take her fingerprints off my face
Why didn't I react?
'Cos I'm too hot to fight

Wingless angel
When I close my eyes
All I see is a planet
Glittering as diamond
Very bright are it's lights
I see myself in the middle of a sign
A sign or an invisible protection chamber, I presume
It's like in the centre of the terrestial body
The bright lights grow dimmer
And dimmer
Until I can barely see
I strain my eyes
And there, few meters away
A being squatted
Clutching his back with both hands
As it growls silently in pain
On the floor, lay two huge wings
And a deadly enormous sharp axe
The being tries to get up but falls
Blood oozes from it's back
The blood encircles me

Vanity
Maternal mothers rapport even when in distress
Connected hopes even in blizzards
Temporary strong hopes even in a bleak future
Does not answer the question
Women in men's eye
Money meant for the living
Men want alot
Not okay with just one colourful bead
So do women
Party wonders; an idea for an event
Fame and pride
Life is well for some others
But what you think about yourself
Is what matters
Why is it that in all you have,
You see vanity
Insatiable cravings and I'm not okay yet
I want to possess and I want more
In vain do man toil under the sun
In vain; in all vanity and vexation

Political entropy
The carcas of leaders
The tomb of misery
Money-inclined hearts
Pleasure and fame, their watch word
This is not the bane of the society
But the viable seed
And the society, the favouring conditions
Worldwide downfall
Causes of reprobate minds
Difference in skill and intelligence
The acute and the foolish
Thumbnails in place of nails
Selfish personalities, callous vandals
Unsettled minds
To think of possible solutions
To control impatient exothermic reactions
To unite the economy
Into one orderly arranged crystalline structure
The leader's breakpoint
The blanket that sheilds development
