All men are created equal
All men are created coloured
Black, white, yellow, red and even blue!
All men have dreams, too!
...

Smile in the face of fear.
Smile when death is near.
Smile in the face of oppression
The way you do showing compassion.
...

A brave little fish flew out of water
And dived straight into the sky
He gasped as he hit the icy air
And drowned before he knew why.
...

No light ever comes from naught,
Light surges from darkness fought.
No true hope comes from nowhere,
Hope is sun to darkened despair.
...

Secrets I have gotten like all.
Like everyone sometimes I fall
And when I'm compelled to the wall
Lies I use, but no surrender!
...

Sick and tired I lie in bed, not knowing what to do
To break the monotony of being sick and tired
And not knowing what to do to break the monotony….
Of myself I am sick and tired and don't know what to do...
...

"Find your way among the humble",
My father used to say.
He lived humble.
He died humble.
...

As winds cry in dry lands tearlessly
As lions sweep the barren plains hungrily
As clouds sail in gray skies aimlessly
I, an aimless soul hungry for beatitude,
...

Such was the thing
That struck me like lightening,
That hurt me like parting,
That bled me like suffering,
...

This world is a big prison
With high surrounding walls.
We're trapped,
We're strapped,
...

Roses turned blue
As the wind blew.
Thoughts travelled miles
Amongst hidden smiles.
...

Like worms
Words
Slide
Glide
...

Beautiful the smile that
Extends miles and miles
Caressing faces,
Giving impulses
...

They say:
Life's a gift.
I say:
I'm so sorry,
...

I still remember.
We were enchanted
We had finally made it
To that rotten place.
...

Sick and bewildered
I stay awake most of night.
Morbid thoughts come and go
While sweet dreams say ' no'.
...

Oh blind, so blind
We, poor mankind.
Poor though so rich;
Sick though so strong;
...

...

Simply said,
You are for me
As wind for sea
As black for white
...

And then when the words are true
The world of here and the world of there
Fuse together and something new
Is brought to life that gathers elements
...
