LIFE URINATES

Life hits a snag with doldrums of distress

Stinking sweat dropping down the sledge

Pulling woes of dead mongers like a slave

Slaves in pure slavery like that of old

Innocent souls battered by demigods

Unleashing deadly slaps with a huge slap

Life drops dead down the debris

Stubborn on-slots slotted in a series

Miserable moments unleashed from a cage

Dreaded times of misfortune come off age

Spitting unwarranted scenes of bitter rage

Battered like a battered mastered seed

Crowded ugly scenes like a blossoming seed

Sending signals of an evil dreaded moment

Locked in a deadly cage of heavy torment

Life spits dead blood that stinks

Life urinates

RAIN DROPS

Wet and cold we are

We live on a thread buried in misery

Like a child in a jungle full of predators

Or poor people hiding from their creditors

Rain drops down dangerously

Dangerous as broken bottles buried in sand

Even strong pillars cannot stand

We can’t stand straight for our stance bend

Weak and weary is the stance of our stand

Our future is under threat again

Again and again we stand for no gain

The only gain we know is that of pain

Rain drops down dangerously

Woe unto you blood suckers

A dark cloud forming over your heads

Dark cloud on dark bloody rainy day

Rain drops with it comes life

Sweeping the sorrows and worries of our souls

Wiping the tears in our eyes and misery on faces

The river of living water walks again

Rain drops

PAIN WITHIN

Hope fades and faith dies

Vision blurred and dreams shuttered

Focus lost and plans fail

Divinity snubbed and immorality praised

Wisdom dwindles and thoughts diminish

Rewards of deadly devilish demons

Pain within

Heart burns and mind blows

Pride prevails and punishment awaits

Storms rise and fights grow

Braveness broken and cowardice broadened

Passion killed and patience gone

Rewards of deadly devilish demons

Pain within

Determination dead and destruction affirmed

Voices blocked and value varnished

Flowers wither and life flops

War declared and devils win

Pain within
