NO MORE

No more sorrow, no more weeping
No more shedding blood on the street
No more hatred, no more strife
No more destruction on innocent life

No more guns and war
No more homelessness for the poor
No more neglecting the well-being of a child
No more tears in a mother's eye

No more grave in our backyard
No more hiding in the dark
No more scarcity of food and water
No more conflict unresolved on our border

No more hope and shelter broken
No more heroes forgotten
No more pain and suffering
No more lies and deception

No more famine and starvation
No more false doctrines and religion
No more pride and downfall
No more nightmares at nightfall

STILL WATER

Still water come into my heart
Come ease the burden of a repulsive heart
Its been difficult, life on my own
The flowers in my heart withered and gone


Man is prone to scarcity of love
The world's evolving each second
Depression staking the resourcefulness of life
The reason the world's depreciating instead


I have tried to think things through in my head
Its burdensome hearing voices weeping instead
I wish deeply for the heart to be calm
Someday, dreams alive will come

WHEN LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH

The heart must search her own path
The odd on a journey with a plight
She must seek no retribution
To be sober to the woes of men 

A path alone in a world unknown
Is a heart waiting on the altar
Bond to a soul mate yet revealed
Birth with love and compassion

When Love is not enough
Life becomes a sad and lonely fortress
But the heart must never give up
Until true happiness is found
