Am I slipping into a life of crime?Listening to violence in songs in GrimeHardened gangster lost ,thinking there is no other way While songs of the mourners strum…

EMBERS OF WAR
The embers of war, they flicker and burn,A testament to the battles we yearn.In the depths of destruction, they ignite,A haunting reminder of the endless fight. They smolder and shimmer, casting their glow,A tragic display of a world laid low.Once vibrant cities reduced to ash,The embers of war, a somber and harsh. The scars run…

CONFLICT
Why in the World is there so much killing?People losing focus of peace and building.Instead of love, fanning flames of hatred,Fuelling thoughts of hurt and vengeance . Both are guilty, both have strayed.But only the innocents will be taxed with pain.They are pushed against the grain.Splintered lives without a refuge. Both denying their lust agenda.Stoking…

Is this Armageddon?
IS THIS ARMAGEDDON? Is this Armageddon, the end of our time?The skies are ablaze with a fiery rhyme,The earth shakes and trembles, the seas boil and churn,As if the very fabric of reality were to burn. The stars fall from the sky, like diamonds in the night,The moon hides its face, in a veil of…

REFUGEE
Displaced souls, seeking refuge,Through troubles, earthquake, wars,Facing rejection, homeless and wandering,Confused, looking for a place to call home. In shadows cast by shattered dreams,They roam, lost in a world unknown,Their hearts heavy with burdened hopes,Yearning for solace, yet finding none. Torn apart, their lives disrupted,By violence’s ruthless hand,They seek shelter, a sanctuary,But find closed doors…

CRIES FROM GAZA
In Gaza’s heart, a war resurrected,Where bullets fly, and lives are disrupted.Killing, kidnapping, bombing, death, despair,A haunting melody fills the air. In shattered streets, young souls tremble in fear,Their innocence stolen, their dreams disappear.A land once vibrant, now stained with sorrow,Its cries echo, seeking a hopeful tomorrow. Homes reduced to rubble, a tragic sight,Families torn…
