The sun used to rise and yellow our world
Its glow used to be just bright enough
The moon used to watch from afar
Peering closely at the meekness of the nights
...

¤¤¤¤¤¤
When I decide to hang my quill
Whose ink by then would've stopped to drip
And the verses it wrote would've been embroidered
...

If this, is war
_
We were told
That while at war
...

I do not crave for beauty
That sends men reeling
That catches the eye
But, unseen to the blind
...

The early-morning sun
Testifies
To the beauty
That lingers in your heart,
...

Have you, dear brother have you?
Have you ever heard of a home
laying at the end of a silent path
But without a room for our little minds
...

1.We grew to tyrants' den.
And so listen to the piercing echo
Of whimpers from the chamber of death.
But they call it music to dance to.
...

...

We ask the tyrants:
When at night
we are at rest,
Why do men
...

We ask the tyrants:
Why do men loudly call, to piquant meals of tasty yam,
And knowingly forge unequal knives?
Why do men have to till the soil,
...

We all see beyond,
Stars that adorn the sky
And hear beyond,
The howling sound of seas at night,
...
