I spent my whole life building.

I saw it all, yeah ups and downs.

Started from nothing, God knows I did it all,

and brought this empire from the ground.

For generations I have toiled to build,

each passing year my empire’s grown.

I barely slept, I had to see it done,

and claim this empire as my own.

And I was proud to stand and see it all,

it was a brilliant si...

Two birds left the nest after they had learned to fly,

setting off to find what the world has got to give.

Each had what it takes to ascend into the sky,

but each bird also had different reasons why they lived.

One lived a life to soar above, his days spent in the air.

The other lived to gather in and build a stable home.

One was carefree enjoying daily views beyond com...

In the hole of the common, fear runs deep,
where the voice of the many stirs us from sleep.
Dress the same, speak without spark,
act like the crowd, it's mediocrity's mark.

Alienated souls, proud in their space,
yet some feel the pull and yearn to escape.
Clarity’s a pain, like islands alone,
different in values, they stand out, unknown.

Children are innocent, while the old face disdai...

Things to adorn yourself.

Things for your home.

Things of a thousand kind, 

what do you own?

Gather it all til you have everything,

but know this that when the day’s done –

despite all your things

you don’t have a damn thing

if the sun sets…

and you’ve got no one.

You can buy land and home

across this world made of stone,

gathering more into barns than the rest.

You can travel and see

every sight there may be

under Heaven from East to the West.

You can spend every day

finding more ways to pay,

grabbing all you can possibly get.

But remember there’s something

worth far more than these…

to die without any...

I had to trade another jot,

I had to sell a tittle.

I had to cuz they told me that

I had to give a little.

I had to sit and wonder at

the setting of the sun,

what giving just a little costs

when all is said and done.

Courtly knights wood fair maidens

Proud steeds reared up in forests green

In stone towers Merlin weaved magic

Steel swords making sparks were seen

What happened to the age of chivalry?

Why is honour in the world so rare?

It seems rules are there to be broken

About values none seems to care

Who is meant to be in charge today?

In my view people are much too bold

What if the Sabbath weren’t a day
but a state of being
that permeates our earthereal Eden? 

What would you keep holy?

I work, you work and let’s not shirk

Two of us together and we get the perk

I have my plate full and so is yours,

Let’s finish it without a knee jerk…

Deliver what’s expected out of us,

And when we do it, it will be called thus,

Commitment.

We are part of an association…

For deliberation and mutual cooperation.

Displaying commitment, zeal and energy,

Together we ...

An uprooted tree lies ebbing in the street.
The one who pledged everyone with a refuge
is herself in exigent need.

People come, see the fallen one.

Not a soul seems to be concerned.
Zero, zilch, nada, none.

They don't remember
those cloistered, sizzling infernos of June
those solitary, shivering nights of witchy new moons

and those

sodden, sultry volleys of pouring monsoons
