I’m sharpening my pencil,
Or maybe, I’m sharpening my tongue,
While the hooligans are sharpening
Their knives and their swords,
...

It's the 21st century
And governments still send their youth To war,
It's the 21st century
And one cannot imagine the horrors One might see behind closed doors,
...

A bunch of pointless conversations,
So many hours gone to waste,
I would express my agitation,
But, being rude, ain't to my taste.
...

The world is full of
Different species of poets,
Of various genres, styles, and opinions.
...

Aladdin's lamp smashed into a gazillion pieces,
The genie ran away,
The golden fish won't grant free wishes,
She's begging for some pay,
...

Experiment called Earth,
Who created you?
Perhaps a mad scientist
With instruments of torture and pain,
...

“I’m an important politician,
My wish is your command,
You’ll listen to me and worship me,
And accomplish all I’ve planned, ”
...

Invite me to your deportation,
I’ll be a quiet & pleasant guest,
I shall be coming from the station
To watch your glorious arrest.
...

Welcome to Switzerland - the land of banks and watches,
Of mountains and yodeling,
Of time and money,
Of milk and chocolate,
...

A day of fasting
Will not end world hunger,
Take back the night
Will not undo the crime of rape,
...

Evil dictator bites the dust today,
Donald Trump's speech sparks tension,
While Lindsey Lohan throws a fit
For media attention,
...

Today I’ve chosen my career
I’d like to be a spy.
Each time when danger’s coming near
I’ll keep an open eye.
...

Addicted,
To an illusion of a social life,
The digital universe
Consisting of a cluttered newsfeed page,
...

Moon in the sky,
The stars are shining bright,
And high on caffeine and imagination,
Armed with a pen and paper,
...

One dark night without a moon,
A robber broke into
A mansion,
And in this mansion,
...

One evening, a young lad
Was walking down a street,
And on this street he found
A hat.
...

I will write a masterpiece!
- A writer said one day
This masterpiece will be
A romance novel
...

Have you heard
The story of Mr. Nothing?
No one ever thought
He would amount to anything,
...

24 hours in a day,
Where do they go?
Where do they slip?
...

I have many thoughts
In my head,
Some are good,
And some are bad,
...
