I will not return till victory
I'm the one who rose up like a strom from the ashes of her child's remains I'm the one who rose up for every single drop of blood my brother shed Thy sacrifices have made me stronger than ever Those vandalized villages of mine has raged the fire of hatred within for the enemy I the enlightened one have...

Digging for Daylight
This utter silence is stone cold There's no gaze upon the sinner This hell has got a wicked hold And it feels just like a winter When I fought the darkest demons I just fought them empty-handed I pushed through all doubt and reason And I nearly couldn't bear it Why would you still demand of me To bend my shattered knee again Without attending...

My own Almighty
I am god. At least my own. I pray to myself, Aware, with faith That my own Deism will cleanse my sins. My calloused hands Roam and intertwine amongst one another. Creating and sculpting, Molding my own world, My choices and consequences To be determined by my Craft. Whether it be my turmoil Or my salvation, It’s mine to create. My now or my future Decisions give shelter To Sorrow,...

Message To The Blackman
If slavery was a choice, as some have agreed, then what are we? If watching your father and mother endure rape or murder was a choice, Then why do we sit on idle hands, while Trump eradicates our posterity’s opportunities, As if they were written in sand? If not being able to read was a choice, Then why do you...

Premium Member The War Within
Thoughts coil around my mind, Not chains—no, chains can be broken. These are roots, tangled deep, Threaded through marrow, Anchored in places I cannot reach. I pull. They tighten. I resist. They hold. Every struggle feeds them, Every breath is barbed wire in my lungs. My own making binds me, Trapped between what is real And what my mind refuses to release. I chase clarity, but it...

Say it to Fear
Say it to fear, That I've shaken off his grasp His lies no longer hold me captive His smiles, a facade that will soon pass Now, a phoenix I am Transformed from the ashes of my past The scent of smoke and ash still lingers I rise, unshackled from the chains that bound With the new mended wings, my spirit is found Through the...

October’s Child
Born in the breath of woodsmoke and fire, I learned early to love the art of falling. Leaves tumble like poorly kept secrets, trees strip down without shame - modesty’s for summer, after all. October hums with rebellion: bonfires blaze, sunsets bleed, and the wind, cheeky as ever, slips its cold fingers into every undone button. History rattles here - 200 years since Waterloo fell...

Children of the Parade
Snot nosed, barefoot Chanting, walk the streets Spit flies from mouth, food on cheek Green, ripe, and free Dirty and unkempt Unbridled and unmanageable Wild child Dolls and toy trucks Mudpies and hopscotch Bugs and jump rope Torn clothes, holes in socks Scraped knees and mud on shoes Marching on, they're marching on They're marching on Drums rattle, off beat Out of tune flutes, cowbells and slide whistles Ringing bent triangles...

For all the ones that aren’t and never will be
Grab it Hold the feeling Clench that burning fireball While you’re crashing through the ceiling Bash your head into the wall And show them What you can do While you hold it to the sky When the abyss stares right back at you You’ll just spit into their eye They won’t take us now They cannot win Live like you’ve always been dead Reanimate yourself And then You’ll see that...

Premium Member Women's Day Out
Silk scarves, whispers, a tapestry of ambition, woven with threads of hope. Sunlight through stained glass, a kaleidoscope of dreams, each faces a story untold. The air was thick with anticipation, a silent symphony of ambition. Red paint bleeds a splash of defiance, a brushstroke of courage. The canvas stretches, a battleground of ideals, a fight for the right to speak. The echo of a thousand voices, a chorus of...

Premium Member The Journey Within
A winding path, a quest to find, The inner self, the hidden mind. A girl embarks, with her heart aflame, To discover the truth, and learn her name. Through trials faced, and lessons learned, Her spirit grows, and her strength is earned. She sheds the doubts, the fears she knew, And blossoms forth, with vision true. The journey within, a constant quest, To find...

Premium Member The Voice of Change
No longer silent, they take a stand, Their voices rise, across the land. Against injustice, they will speak, Their words, like thunder, strong and deep. For change, they fight, with courage bold, Their stories were heard, their voices told. They break the silence, raise their voice, To change the world, make the right choice. The voice of change, a clarion call, For justice, freedom,...

Funeral Flames, Unseen And Unheard
In the land where pyres light the skies, Why do you snatch her voice, her cries? In Hindu rites, sons alone hold the flame, But where’s the daughter’s heart in this game? She’s “impure,” they say, her blood's a sin, But who’s the one who deemed this within? In life she gave care, in death she’s shunned, From the sacred rites, she’s...

Multiple Entities
Be the flowers that can heal - A heart of charity never to seal. Be the moon in the lonely night - A dark cave looking bright. Be the sky blue, lucid and clear - A sea filled with love, a pure lover. Be the sun that can burn all instant, But inside nodding a tiny plant. Be...
