Its still, before the dark hours,
Still in the middle of a rest thats ours,
From an unknown vision, motion pictures emerge
Starring people found in life pages.
Some smiling,
Others, crying.
Among these are those without friends,
Those with them unleashing their own new trends,
Their feelings conveyed by laughter screams,
Those in agony, heard by horror shrills.
Surprisingly the audience never found its meaning,
Here lives are being crotched, in weaving,
Reflecting the happenings in our lives,
The recordings, the history of recent times.
As the night away fades
Only snores, no noise, no words.
Where it all ends,
When the cool morning breeze encroaches,
As the enlightened day approaches.
It’s no longer the poor world of dreaming,
It’s now the real world worth living.

Dinner With The Devil (2)
Indeed I dined with him
When the lights were more than dim
The Devil-
The reign of evil
Back in the day
Where a visit was forced to pay
To sit across him in the dark
Where his grinning face with luck
Nearly took my bile up
Considering we were at the Last Supper
Badly prepared salad, burnt rice,
Kapenta and unroasted meat invited flies
Which the master minder slaughtered and ate
Together with his disciples who spat
Everywhere around the old broken dinner table.
We drank thick blood in addition
Which I recorded was their addiction.
Rotten apples became the dessert
As well as unripe paw-paws
I couldn’t take it any more at last
Never to excuse myself, I ran away fast.

ugly
flies do fly bys
ova dead bodies
"why!" cries
rise to empty skies
we know you dont care
suits cant disguise
the body language as you stand there
giving speechfuls of lies
stories of government flaws reach for the skies
shouted out by future matyrs
"tomorrow is uncertain",
the future stutters
ova dead bodies
"why!" cries
rise to empty skies
we know you dont care
suits cant disguise
the body language as you stand there
giving speechfuls of lies
stories of government flaws reach for the skies
shouted out by future matyrs
"tomorrow is uncertain",
the future stutters
