I write
Peace Go With You
As we go through the struggles of life
Letβs journey with peace by our side
Though we may become the struggle
Letβs light up that genuine hope
That one substance, that one sustenance
That gives bread and balance
Even when life shakes
Even when argument ensues
Even when turmoil is spread
Live in peace, give out peace
Mistakes are made, no doubt
But brother, lay down your battle axe
And flow with the rivers leading back home
I am the star, the sign that reads: free
To live in peace, I am the voice I need
So I say, rivers of my father
Take me home to the place of rest
To the place where I may regain strength

The story is redemption
Vibes for the evening
The Stone Age of the Internet
When the moment is silent
The world refuses to sleep
Humans all awake, beings restless
The Age of the Internet has most sleepless
Weβre all there amidst the skies
Weβre all there amidst the fire
All gathered, all joined by the force of life
The Age of the Internet has cured the curse of time: distance
Yet, here we are failing to meet eyes
Yet, here we are failing to connect minds
Like a high school, timid girls and boys afraid for a dance
So across the hall, though gathered, far apart we stay
Though gathered, words fail us, so the rift continues
This era when wounds should heal faster
This era when rivers apart should come closer
Oh, this era when understanding should make sense
Maybe this rift exist because not everyoneβs fully connected
Soon very soon, from the south to the north, east to the west
The rest will come through these doors and then
Maybe then we all will finally use this gift to find tomorrow
Now and the End
The fight was long
The battle even longer
Warriors lost in the month of May
Lives lost in worth and meaning
But in all, a path was shown, a road for all
So, hereβs the blade of faith
Grab it and cut me loose
I see you, you see me
Thereβs no more pretense
Hereβs the blade
Take it and leave me be
I see you, you see me
In blood, my price was paid for
Haunted by pain and fear
Without a means, I was left to die
My life has no value around here, I see
It never did, really, especially around these paths
So hereβs my receipt
It says my soulβs been paid for
Courage now holds me strong
Thereβs no more going back
The season of my life has now begun
How good will it go?
Hell, I donβt know
How well the road ahead?
God, I pray smooth
NO CHURCH IN THE WILD (II)
Now you seek my ones while theyβre young
Plastering their faces all over, palaces and places
Begging for things that never see the light of day
You call it charity, I call it one big fraud school,
I see you came with food and drinks
Still, you refuse to leave me immortality
That one tool I need to move further
Further into the rising of the sun
By the words of my dead ones
By the blood stains left on young sleeves
I swear to this life that holds me ransom to fight for soul
This life man has decided to use for deception
So I ask truthfully? Heart to heart, eye to eye, soul to soul
Whereβs the house, that place meant for gathering?
Itβs all gone, burnt down to the ground
Replaced with bellies bellowing for sugar
By the words of my voice, I swear
I refuse to bow down to your empty roar
Only people seasoned with days know the place
The place where the sheep goes to warn the rest about the wickedness of man
I refuse to hold true those beliefs of lies
Lies, you print in books, limiting my peopleβs mind
Yeah, itβs all true those lies you print, but
The time has come to celebrate our arising
Weβre awakened, and weβre never holding back the truth
NO CHURCH IN THE WILD (I)
Itβs hard to hold back tears during these times I live in
The pain that holds me at night shows me
The cries of young ones paraded through the news
Whatβs more important?
Their souls? Or your polls and ratings?
Tell me cube-box man, and as you do, rid the pretense you wear
I did not fly from the land of earth to see another deceit coated with gold
Those souls you parade as your prize
Are they worth the shame you bring on them?
Their lives as movies, their voices lost in the sounds of doom
Moments they exist in, washed – rearranged to fit your screen
Like black on black
White on white, right!
If you show me your own heart
Iβll show you my mine
That one side you refuse to show
One sided: face of death, thatβs all you show
But you forget, we all know two-face survived that night
Alive and willing to show all his burns and scars
Though his ways are seen as dirt and mud
Still he shows all the sides we humans wear
Inwards and outwards, full blown
Lift Off (I)
The trumpets are pronouncing a new sound I must dance to
The choirs are all singing smooth, rolling chants
Angels are here, all shinning with eternal glory
Great ones in the middle, dancing, breaking moves
The soul glowing with joy and peace
Super vibes, the planets are arising
All showing the greatness of life
Days and nights are gone
Locked away, for in this place
Itβs all about our arrival
Walked and walked, we have
Journeyed across seas and stars, we have
Burning fuels, hoping to find everlasting quiescence
We tried, some failed
Some fell into the redness of greed
Leaving others with bitter taste
So ask me again?
Why I dance the way I do
Ask me why I turn my hips the way I do
Ask me why my smile stays so wide
Ask me again, why souls are out and about
Free, shouting out joy and peace
Yeah, itβs ringing out that eternal bliss
The choirβs singing with their voices shaking the earth
Their chants finding lonely souls down below
The day and night are locked away
For in this place, the cloud beams away remorse
