You say…I say
You say I only miss a leap of faith
I say my eyes are much too open to ignore the pit
You say I am arrogant and vulgar
I say you are pompous and falsely superior
You say a higher force guides you
I say morality is entrenched in our humanity
You ask what is the harm in just believing
I respond what is the harm in just asking
You say I am a harsh cynic
I say you live in a pernicious dream
You say I am a soulless creature
I say you are an over glorified sheep
You say every word is sacred
I say man's work is damned to be erroneous
You say you will harvest the eternal fruits
I say I believe in the evidence of now
You say you are a gift
I say I am a result
You say your modesty knows no boundaries
I say my selfishness betters the world
You say my soul is rotting
I say your mind is stagnating
You say you know
I say I am a skeptic until proven right
You say you are chosen
I say I am free
You say everything we see was made only for us
I say we are just a piece of a big puzzle
You say you believe, you say you will be rewarded
You say I am a fool, you say I will be punished
You say many things, you prove none of them
Seven deadly colors
Red, the yearning flames will forever fuel your fervor
Breath by quickened breath, touch by forbidden touch
Moistened lips, craved kisses, soft skin, longing for immediate satisfaction
The smell of naked flesh in the warm nights makes the blood boil
You are aware you are not allowed but deny you understand
You can perceive the consequences, yet you refuse to cease
Gold, you want it now, you need it all, you have to have it
More and more, borderless desire for priceless possessions
The heart grows larger as the mountains of gems extends without finality
Satin, silver and spices serve to satisfy the phony soul
The glitter of a beggar's only coin consumes you from within
All is for you to seize, but it has devoured what remained of your humanity
Black, the ultimate demise will soon be upon the sinful
All will pay, none will be spared the eternal punishment
The storm forming is becoming dauntingly palpable, thunder and lighting
The earth trembles to its very core, as it awaits the inescapable sentence
You will stop at nothing to destroy the ones you passionately loath
Search for shelter, beg and weep if you wish, but there is no escape
Green, pure poison running through your rusty veins
The luster of the unworthy sun must become yours
With every look, your anger grows ever stronger
None deserve to go higher, to have more, to be better
Just as a venomous serpent, you are a silent and deadly killer
Every attempt for glory in nothing but a pathetic joke in your eyes
Purple, the beginning for all beginnings, and the end to all ends
Nothing can compare, none is able to rise to the ivory throne
Perfection does not do justice to flawless creation
The world around slowly decays, erodes away without forgiveness
But the mirror shows the only true reality that will ever matter
Flawless in every way, blissfully content until the end, alone for eternity
Orange, is never enough to be enough, always needs more of more
Whatever the wondering eye sees, the weakening heart must posses
No quantity is ever sufficient to satisfy the primordial want
Limitless pit of desire, coveting endlessly at every whim
You indulge beyond normal need, growing to ghastly proportions
Your undying greed will become your passionate demise
Blue, nothing can perturb the motionlessness perfection of stillness
Time goes by, silently second by second, without forgiveness
Yet all is calm and blissful, the sky cloudless and storms unheard of
Every grain of sand is lost without a soul to mourn them
Apathy slowly creeps in, stubbornly nesting inside the deepest caverns
Nothing changes, nothing progresses, until the end all will be unmoved
We are all but slaves to colors, as they engulf our withering minds
Enchanting, delightful, scintillating, sinful sirens calling all
Their scent is intoxicating, their grip inescapable, their punishment inevitable
They may change, they may combine but they never disappear
We are mere puppets in their hands, as they carelessly play us
Their every whim will be our command, every laughter our demise
Give me
Give me a grain of hope and I will build you a universe
Give me the present and I will fabricate a flourishing future
Give me a simple sound and I will rally up all the lost souls
Give me a drop of reason and I will pull down the pernicious veil
Give me a strong voice and I give life to all the deepest dreams
Give me a powerful word and I will rewrite anarchy
Give me a splinter of light and I will illuminate all the darkened minds
Give me a spark of courage and I will ignite the flames of revolution
Give me one chance and everything will be shaken to its very core
Give nothing but my pen and nothing can prevent my ascent
Unacceptable
The refusal to think will be your silent demise
Stubborn ignorance robs you of your humanity
Do not look around for fulfillment
Do not cheat your way to the top
Do not wait for heavenly salvation to come
Do not forget your mind is your own greatest asset
Do not search for your reflection in the eyes of others
Do not compromise your prized ideals for mediocre approval
Do not be afraid of the empowering ”NO”
Do not accept to be enslaved by believes
Do not accept your voice to be part of the majority
Do not take my word for it; open your eyes if you dare to see
A world of colorful masks and perishable identities
An unfair world inherited by the second-rate meek
You can accept their rules and taste limitless success
Or you can embrace your true nature and fight with pride
Now
The world is slowly crumbling away
The golden plaster is shedding forever
Sharp minds are lost to mediocre perfection
Justice continues to be immune to evidence
The only true law is money's green eye
Religion paralyzes progress, imprisoning humanity in the dark
Everyone is placed in a box from which escape is futile
Austerely followed archaic rituals cripples authentic individuality
Old will forever beat young, men will always overthrow women
Intellectual frustration reaches its final hours
Fighting against never dying winds and infinite brick walls
Armed with only reason and logic, the fight will be surely lost
Questions
Can you let go of everything around you
And be satisfied with just your inner being?
Are you that sure of what you truly are?
Do you need constant reassurance to feel complete?
Can you love something without hating it?
Can you live for what you are and not of others?
Can you be happy alone, without a safety net?
Can you strive to be better and succeed
For yourself and not for appearances?
How can you be so sure there is a god
When you look around and see
The hate, the pain, the anger?
Can you look at the world around without judging it?
Can you be sure the pain is not still haunting you?
Can you be sure you will never regret a mistake?
Are you sure you are out of tears, so you can go on?
Can you ever be certain of your convictions?
Can you honestly ask yourself these questions?
I am not like that
I look in the mirror and I wonder.
I wonder what is really real
I wonder whether I’m a bitch, or the world is crap
I wonder what others see when I appear
Sometimes I am proud, sometimes I am awkward
Sometimes I am witty and oh so charming
Sometimes all the wrong words fall out my mouth
Alone I can reach untouchable picks of wisdom
Outside I just cannot pretend to be socially acceptable
I seam to be trapped in a mediocre neutral zone
Between soulless stares and sparks of brilliance
I refuse to play obnoxious social games
I am unable to hide my disgust towards idiocy
I am unable to pretend to be fascinated and moved
By pseudo-intellectual meaningless conversations
At times I think I am missing a little screw,
Which keeps together my socially friendly mask
Somehow I feel unease when I have to please
But I always refuse to change to fit the mold
My shape has no place in this enormous puzzle
No way back
Do you remember that time before freedom?
When everything was offered to you on a poisonous platter
When there was no need for such sinful words as
Logic and thinking, truth and searching
I remember I was doubtful and a bit reserved
I recall I was not true to myself
I recollect a period of mist and doubt
A time long gone, deemed to be forgotten,
To be buried in garden of futile memories
Now I give an honest goodbye to the past
I abandoned the familiar for the dazzling unknown
“I can’t relate to you” were the most honestly liberating words
Once the veil was burned down, there is no way back
YOU
Your green eyes, enchanting and engulfing
Ever changing, never lying or deceiving
With one glance you get my undying attention
Powerful voice, caring yet commanding
Making every other noise become instantly futile
Every small touch brings shivers up, down and all over
You make me want to, you make me have to never let go
You are my constant source of confidence
My undying river of happiness and joy
You sometimes make me forget there is a world outside
You sometimes make me hate your every breath
We fight, we shout, we say what we really do not mean
We get it out, we pick up the pieces and rebuild better
You give me something I refuse to lose
You make me feel;you shake me out of my numbness
With every push you just come closer
With every whisper every tie gets stronger
I love you for what you are
I love you for what I am
When I am with you
