WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Walking down the street

What do I see?

Enmity looming the vicinity

No love for the human race

Who pulled the trigger?

Polluting the atmosphere

A world tastefully bitter

Lives darted to early grave

Yet no one damn care

They waited until the night sprawl

And shed flimflam tears

Just enough to fill a tea spoon

Ooh beloved brother

In a world that is on fire

Where will turn to?

When there is no home

SUNSHINE

Sunshine on a blue ray

Reflecting on the roses

You touched my heart in a special way

Blew the weary clouds away

You so remind me of a time

I was an excited little child

Chasing butterflies and bees

When I am out picking flowers

Do not let my countenance fool you

Falling in love with you is my greatest weakness

A guilt I could not hesitate

The moment you wrote your name in my heart

IF YOU LOVE ME

If you love me

Don't let me go

Because I am from a different tribe

Doesn't mean I can not be part of your plan 

The language of love is the same

Where ever it reaches out to the heart

It might be through a song

Or through a beating drum

Last time I recalled

You are not afraid of making a call

But it seems to be you are selling yourself short

Don't tell me you are afraid of commitment

Don't let me go back home

Broken, sad and on my own

No one can understand

The way you make me feel

Imagine a queen

Walking around with a broken crown

Her world is going to fall apart

Not able to find you by her side

Why do you make me cry?

Why can't I fall in love with you?

What's wrong if you take me home tonight?

In love, relationship don't need to have a perfect start

Hey boy, do not take me for a flirt

Not everyone can control their feelings

All I am asking is to be with you

Please, don't send me back home tonight
