A breath filled with hate
will shake a nation.
O, the importance of
'the word'.
For a speech filled with love
will break not only hearts,
but strongholds.
Yet, what more
the effect of pure joy-
The sound of a baby's laughter
will cause kings to bow
cries to cease,
and world's to rise
No longer mourning defeat.
When the city of love
becomes the city of blood,
tears form in the depths of humanity
as hearts are torn to and fro.
With these atrocities carving through
what now for this life
this ticking clock filled with such spite
what now is left but fear and pain?
Solidarity stands in the blood streaked night
Beaten and broken, it cries out for respite
from this commandeer of souls
who takes with such delight
Bang, Bang,
The weapons sing
as cries ring in a solemn symphony
that the newly lame shuffle to
for it takes with no regret
bathing Paris in red
we the people are forced to mourn
for freedom and the right to live
in the cities that we
As I stare in the distance,
hoping the gentle crackle of leaves
will signal your approach
and that the soft fall of gold
will be replaced by your touch,
I experience no such reprieve
Unawakened by your presence
the absence of sound haunts my heart.
It longs to hum to the tone of your voice,
but only the sound of crimson leaves
rustling through the wind,
fill the silence
The hues of red
dance across the ground
like your fingers once caressed my skin;
dotted across the cracks,
life appears where once
there was none
Untouched, the bare branches sway
to the rhythm of today.
No longer are they comforted
by the green of yesterday;
expose
The harsh cry
It breaks me in two
As I hear what must be
The sound of hunger
My body trembles
As I feel the insistent pressure
A yearning
For sustenance
A desire for something
I simply cannot provide
For months I laboured
Walked and searched
Yet I find no reprieve
Days I felt the blossom of life
Within the depths of my womb
Beating
For hours I suffered and wept
Knowing that fate-
laughing at my despair
-Would show me no kindness
My child will face the same as many
To pass before seeing the first dawn
The ground will never kiss
Nor darken the supple skin
Light will never touch those eyes
And the words I so crave
Will never form

I hope to make you smile. Welcome to my page.
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. **** Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise.
