I Scream Peace Unto the World

I have seen eyes filled with 
Tears, 
Hands involuntarily jiggling with 
Fears, 
Depressingly folks been telling peace, 
But war remained and peace
Never came to their ears. 

I scream peace unto the world, 
Well it doesn't matter statute, 
And how old, 
But how you treat others and their gratitude. 

Have peace deep inside your hearts, 
I cry peace, oh! 
People we are merged parts. 

Peace unto Africa, Asia, 
All of the universe, 
There's no need for linear, 
Parish inequality and lets rehearse. 

Peace unto the killing of innocent people, 
I am talking peace upon loving couple, 
We are one living, 
And I am not done telling.

Tears of the Unborn Child

Incoming to live 
I died unborn, and 
I don't know if I did 
Something wrong. 

Don't play on being bemused 
Mom, 
As I'm gone 
Now. 

Why the killing of the unknown me 
I also did not know you 
Nor the world's beauty, 
You know I'm true. 

I was assured to life by two 
Participants, you and dad 
I took all the believe I had, 
For you mom are to give birth. 

I thought I was under warthog 
Shadow, therefore not vulnerable, 
Not knowing you wanted me gone, 
Now I'm not available, 
Honestly you're not responsible. 

You terminated my life, 
Did abortion,
And I'm now abortive, 
Failed to cruise to living. 
I died unborn.

Valentine Souls

To hearts that bit reminding in valentine,
To love that smell during our dine,
I bet we are happily fine,
We deserve His blood in yours and mine,
Lets just drink thrilled with wine.

We are valentine souls,
Through which we notice our love as being radiant in our eyes
And neither of ourselves moans
Nor easily smelt like ice.

I know we suffer to go above
To enhance a little we have,
But we remain alive in a cabinet of love,
We are valentine souls, which is enough.

Darkest Aspiration

Trekking along with weighty doubts,
Piled repeatedly and in attempt,
The dream so rewarding in giant
But not so plain sailing in its dark clouds.

You keep pushing and pushing 
Though touring in, it's not friendly,
You keep digging and digging
Though pulling might be heavy,
And,
You keep navigating
With a wrecked ferry.

Protracted unexpectedly so greatly,
Do then surrender
As snail would'nt.

Darkest aspiration blended with lights
And heights at times,
Choped ideas jotted unfulfilled,
Delayed by self-doubts,
All dreamed,
Yet action you're without.

You keep pushing and pushing 
Though touring in, it's not friendly,
You keep digging and digging
Though pulling might be heavy,
And,
You keep navigating
With a wrecked ferry.

An Opened Door, Steps On the Floor

I heard pages flipping
As a sign of calling,
We both needed each attention
And we both realised there was a tension,
At night we will wish a good
Though there was a flowing mood,
I closed the door without locking
Thinking of going in without knocking,
I could hear her voice talking over phone
To wish she was in this bed refreshing my backbone,
But she just waited
And i just hesitated,
An opened door
Steps on the floor.

I Am Here To Rest

Myself not perfect 
My heart love detect
Please don't reject, 
My body can't reflect, 
With my actions I can act, 
Love from you I don't expect 
As I can't bring any fact, 
Even when yourself react 
Myself will not rest, 
Till your heart myself no longer a guest. 
I might not be the first nor the last, 
But I am not here to test, 
Trust in me, 
I am here to rest

Hood Life Gone Us Astray

it's not at our opt to stay
And
Live this life,
Poverty offered
A land,
We breath trembling
Our bodies,
Hearing gunshots,
Fleeing,
Screaming
Stepped With knife,
Hollering for help,
Honestly it gets us
Filled with worries

Trailed blood indicating
Wrecked,
I see no breathing
Nor trying,
It seem Departed.

Sobbing when she have been 
Forced into it,
Her feminine spoilt by pirates
While she acts delinquently for rescue,
Arching left ensue

A many desired explained 
By entertainments,
Spending on eyes attired
By compliments,
Repined avail filled 
Inferiors astonishments.

Hood life gone us astray,
Good life come approach our way

Come Back To Us

I know i did the mess
Many times,
I remember that our love was less
And not easy to realise sometimes,
Come back to us, i promise God will bless
Our good and bad times,
Hope you still recalls my address
That you visited that times,
It's still shines as bright in my mind that dress
I saw each day during our great times,
Sorry if i remind and the stress,
I did you pain, please don't think of those times,
Aim it is but not to make things wess
But to bring those me and you times,
Come back to us,
We need those times.
