The wolves have surrounded us
With fiery eyes they stalk
In the quiet of a moonless night
Hear their hunger talk
Yesterday it was our fellow men
Who fought against the beasts
Alas they lost and so today
We’re no more than their feast

A Bot Invited Me To Dinner – Part 2
A bot invited me to dinner
I reached on time well-groomed
On reaching there I found out
I’m the one he planned to consume
A Brother’s Woe
It was not his fault
That they loved him more
Still he had to pay the price
His blood splattered on the floor
Slither
There are a hundred worms
Slithering aimlessly
How could I even kill them
When they’re all inside of me?
An Invisible Monster
Wear your battle armour
The gloves and heavy masks
Tonight we pray and set out
For an impossible task
Get your weapons ready
Have them fully loaded
We took this monster lightly
Now the scene’s exploded
If we don’t stop it now
It’s guaranteed to wipe us out
The end of our eternity
Without a trace of doubt
We’ve watched a hundred movies
Ending happily them all
Tonight we become heroes
We fight until we fall
This ain’t even October
With fun-filled Halloween
Tonight we fight a monster
Who cannot be seen
Things They Didn’t Teach Us
They taught us math in school
That two plus two is four
They taught us science and history
Geography and more
They taught us how to square
Draw, paint and dance and sing
They taught us verbs and nouns
And many many more things
But nobody taught us
Things we ought to know
Things that’ll always help us
Wherever we may go
They didn’t teach us how to lay
A claim on happiness
Or taught us to be humble
While enjoying great success
They didn’t tell us that humans
Are struggling everywhere
That an act of kindness
Can really show you care
They didn’t teach us that true love
Is more valuable than bread
That people need appreciation
Much before than they are dead
They didn’t teach us to gaze
At the wild and open sky
Or that it takes courage
To own up to a lie
I guess that these are things
That one cannot be taught
Only can be learned
Not borrowed or even bought
All My Problems Are Hungry
All my problems are hungry
They need to be well fed
Lest they will keep troubling
Me and my little head
All my problems are thirsty
They need water everyday
Or they will drink my blood
That is what they say
I have no option really
I give them what I can
They keep growing larger
The more I keep feeding them
I’ll be out of supplies
Very soon, if you may know
I don’t know what I’ll do then
I don’t know where I’ll go
That’s not my only worry
Of that I am very sure
Those problems keep giving births
To new problems and many more
I Am Not A Bad Person
I am not a bad person
Just covered in pile of dirt
Layers and layers and layers
Layers of pain and hurt
Look at me closely though
Through the dark of skin
A treasure chest of love
You shall find within
You
The only person who can judge you is You
The only one you need to compare yourself with is You
The only one you need to be better than is You
The only person who matters is You
The only hands that’ll work on your dreams are Yours
The only feet that will bear the brunt are Yours
The only voice that you can hear is Yours
The only efforts that count are Yours
The only body that can heal your wounds is Yours
The only mind you can understand is Yours
The only heart that’ll know your pain is Yours
The only life you can define is Yours
The only one who can inspire you is You
The only person who can break your heart is you
The only person who can make you happy is You
The only one is You
But Let It Be
I’ve got a house but it’s empty
A head full of memory
A heart but no soul in me
But let it be
The limbs are always so weary
Thoughts always so scary
Never thought I’d be so lonely
But let it be
Drowning in this massive sea
Only darkness and catastrophe
As far as I can see
But let it be
For once let me disagree
I’m neither safe nor sorry
Fighting without a family
But let it be
All the stars tell their story
All the birds sing atop a tree
I wanna reach that glory
But let it be
Now I sing so carelessly
Now I rant so endlessly
Pick me up and set me free
Or let it be
