Moil

We did not choose to live a life on hard mode

Vanguard from our backyard, to being stowed

Tattered, patches and holes

Do hide the thinning soles

Of the poor man’s walk through these halls,

Our contributions to the tyrants’ decked walls

We moved on from these stalls

And kept plowing towards our goals

But with an ever-growing horizon

Our dreams are always in the beyond

Yet, our ever-grinding tale of 50s blues

Is no crinkle in the cycle of breaking news

Nonetheless, we believe in what we do

Enough to keep on till the breakthrough

Deracinate

Governance is like gardening

But when the powers that be take off their gloves

The ones that need protecting, keep suffering

Suited ravens and crows devouring the bleeding doves

The fragile growing stems and shoots

Which make up our Nation, our People

Rage into thorns instead of fruits

To the poisoners on the steeple

Who were put on there to defend their freedom

Now themselves the Nation's demons

Silencing the masses's voices without any reason

Illegally covering their own treason

It comes down to the citizens themselves

To descend from their shelves

To repel and oust the incompetent cartel

To use their intel and yell for Liberty's bell

For this is the way we honour our brave ancestors,

Our sons, daughters and their futures

By standing up and saying no to going astray

Maybe, just maybe one blessed day,

We truly may

Celebrate our Independence Day

万歳

First came gender

Then came colour

And after came religion

One after the other

Another cut, another incision

Now with every choice,

You affirm your individuality

Fight for a voice

Yet, eroding solidarity

Why do you focus so much

On the superfluous?

You silently judge

While keeping a grudge

And forget the most important

The common factors lying dormant

Playing in the warmongers' hands

No one taking a stand

I beg of you please

Put your own soul at ease

Fight not coz of things that divide us

But rather those that unite us

Don't be a minus

When you can be a plus

Incandescent

Lift up your head

Walk on in the storm

Succumb not to the dread

Be, don't conform

For that would kill you

Your identity, individuality

Don't transform, push through

Shred the pressure of community

That sadistic cage so red

So many pretty souls bled

Shine on, spread those wings

Show off your unique zing

Coz if you're subdued or prude

You're gonna get screwed

Shangri-La

If only we gave love a chance

And let it bloom for once

Into joy for all humanity

Into smiles for us and thee

If only we gave peace a real go

And clearly told the warmongers "No!"

"Leave your bombs and guns

Choose serenity and hold our hands"

Maybe, just maybe then

We could be one brethren

No more puppet-masters

No more political leaders

Pulling the strings

From their thrones, like kings

No more violated women

No more dead children

No more distorted beliefs

No more vengeful grief

Only the olive branch and the dove

Carrying the message of one love

Maybe, just maybe then

Lennon would finally be zen

A soul singing the blues
Seeking to be enthused

Oh just to find an excuse
Not to be on the snooze

A brain thinking in twos
Wishing to be perused

Oh just a few thoughts to bemuse
From any foreign cranial igloos

A heart hungry for a muse
Yearning to be diffused

Oh just a fresh feeling to infuse
In this haven of hedonic taboos

Aurelian

A new scent in this essence

A golden melody woven in this existence

Recomposing staccatos to legatos

Transmuting happiness where reigned woes

A soul twinkled, a flame rekindled,

A face dimpled, eyes slightly wrinkled

The blaze hides something

Precious in the making

A reaction euphoric

But a heart halcyonic

Not a feeling one can thwart

Seeping beneath two ribcages apart

Sylph

O' fleeting things of the past
None that time cannot outlast

Ecstatic, melancholic and tragic
A wish, tad too toxic

For it to have stayed what it was
Abay of cosmic laws

Swish of a wand magic
Satisfying the eternal neurotic

Rewiring of the Gears' forecast
At the behest of this iconoclast

Caught in the temporal jaws
Too many ignorant squaws

Locked in the Master's jigsaw

Clutching at a spectral straw

Crystalline

Lost in a world where wrong rules over right,

Nobody cares to see our plight

Born devoid of want,

We stand here, still vivant and gaunt

The void devours us, regurgitating our remains

In our chest, the emptiness reigns

There's nobody around when we hit the ground

The world moves on, not a helping hand, none

No purpose whatsoever to this damned existence

For there's no place for an unstained conscience

This is today's society, look and you will see

For though we are alone, we are not tainted to the bone

So reflect upon your actions and repent,

Before the torment makes you lament

To this we say "Amen" and may you be part of the ascent

And not amongst those heading for the descent

Reflux

A wind of roses blew
As I whispered a song for you
Whispering under my breath
My veins bulging with meth

Dark and deep was the abyss
When my love for you went amiss
But still I kept on singing
In hope you would hear something

But then a wind of thorns blew
One which I couldn't get through
For you, I fought on
Even broken, I held on

Even after so much and so long
I don't even know where I went wrong
Never did I stop whispering my song
Even though, maybe to you, I didn't belong...

Ode to a Lady

I have long forgotten why
Why I admire the sky

The divine flow of the clouds
The moon's devoted shroud

Reminiscent of purity
This heavenly beauty

I now remember why
Why I admire the sky

For 'twas the day I caught your eye
But could not say hi

Ablution

Calmness reigns in the forest
As the storm brews

The wind cleansing the taboos
Here goes the Devil's nest

The branches sway
The leaves dancing to this play

Nature's holy orchestra blows
A melody that soothes and flows

Beckoned, the drops fall
On the flora standing tall

Appeased is Gaia's blain
Soothed by the pellets of rain

Ascension

It's been so long

Covering these miles of deserted plains

Alone all along

Failing over and over again

To find someone to whom she'd belong

Wishing she could break free from sanity

Wanting to flee from this anomaly

Coz the other side is more tempting than this reality

She's still walking that desolate road

Her soles have run thin

Her feet tired from bleedin'

Ridding herself of that needless load

Feelings and strings in Life's bin

She's slipping away from sanity

Coz the other side is better than this reality

Yeah, she is breaking free

She is finally conversing with nature

Experiencing happiness and pleasure

This utopia is where she's found solace

It's her own little haven

Wiping off that last tear from her face

Slowing down her plasma's pace

And she falls in a haze

She has broken free

Ready to flee

Yes! This road she chose is insanity

Coz it's better than your reality

Zenith

The night is blind

Gaia's cries have been stifled yet another time

Faster than the wind,

Zeus's path He'll climb

with only one thing in mind:

Annihilate those of the light

Gaia resounds with the march

of His minions

Only to the top,

just the summum!!

Find him, release the seal;

Let the world hear his pain,

that suffering of being locked away,

that ache of being kept abay.

The blooded moon drips,

The throne is finally within grasp.

Only absolute power He seeks,

for his kind to reign!

That unquenchable thirst for power

makes his pulse race once again!

The path he follows

is the one laid out by Zeus.

He's been in Heaven,

Cerberus was his friend

and he's been to Hell's doors.

What is pitch black

only he knows.

Looking around,

hears no sound;

Howling wolf spirit,

his skull split,

He will continue to strive

coz that's his purpose,

that's why he was born

and that's why he's alive.

Optimisme

Tant de craintes et peurs,
Mais ensemble on peut combattre ces frayeurs
La nuit arrive à sa fin
Avec le soleil qui se lève

C'est un jour tout nouveau
On va faire de nouveaux rêves

Même s'il y'en a qui resteront
Des figments de notre imagination
On fera avec, on appréciera les plaisirs
Même s'ils crèvent a mi-chemin
On restera fier!
On verra au-dessus ces douleurs

Il y aura des fois où on les combattra
Et d'autres où on les ignorera

Avec cet état d'esprit qu'est l'espoir
On vivra pour voir un nouvel aube
On ne cessera pas de croire
Car on est tous sur le même globe

Nos efforts ne seront pas en vain
Et on vivra pour voir un nouveau lendemain...
