INSURRECTION

Tell me, is it worth it?
Living in a world crashing down
All your dreams static
Losing every battle without a crown

We all have love ones to protect
But the urge got to be strong enough
To withstand a fall from a thousand feet
Not been resentful but living an authentic life

Out on the street, it is a different world 
It is a total blackout, where is the sun?
If hope and dream of youths are trashed?
What then is the future of the unborn?

Why are there no jobs? 
Why is insecurity on the rise?
Why is human right jeopardize?
Why do we keep corrupt leaders?

Why is life painted so wrong? 
There is so many questions to ask
It taste awful, the recipe is misplaced
The world is asleep, she needs to be awake

NO ONE HOME

I watched the stars fall out of existence
Time creeping further into obliviousness
Breath of forlornness I feel
No ships sailing on the sea

It is like from January to July
The birds could no longer fly to the sky
The world lost her trails a fortnight
And could not make it home tonight

I called out names of loved ones
All I hear are echoes
Voices whispering to the heart
Driving insane the thoughts of the mind

Who took out the light?
Life nowadays seem to be timid
The silence I could not comprehend
A broken spirit I could not fend
