BLACK SUN

Driven not to stay is compassion 
Happiness out of motion 
Darkness covers the sky 
As tears blot the eye

There is nothing to lean on 
The sun is stolen 
Blood stain lying on the floor 
Crippling underneath the living room door 

I see a lifeless body lying on the floor 
Shattered glasses and weapon of plough 
Someone took an angry knife 
And halted a human life

I AM NOT FAR FROM YOU

I am not far from you

But pretend I do not remember 

How you make my heart burn 

Fragrance of your love envelope the sky

Sometimes I imagine 

You and I running far away 

Somewhere we can listen 

To the silence in our hearts 

Your smile illuminates the pathway 

To an unimaginable sense of joy

Never will I let your love get stolen 

I will guild her with all I have

Purely and refreshing is the feeling 

Of lying in your bosom 

I am going out to watch the moon 

She reminds me so much of you 

To fall not in love with you 

Is such a dangerous task 

Every moment I touch your pretty lips 

I fall a thousand feet

A GAME OF DEATH

What are you doing with that gun? 
Who told you to make that call? 
Blood shed on the street 
Causing another war 

Why are you involving women? 
Little children to this silly game of yours 
Turning a happy home into strangers 
Same way turned back on yours

You are not a hero 
Just a man out of his mind 
How can you justify the loss of human lives 
An act of deity with a true cause

Watch your act
For you are also a victim
Every man will die someday
It is just a matter of time

It is no use for a heart stained with blood 
Thy fate is already predetermined
It does not change the fact you are a murderer 
All murderers will be condemned
