A Destiny to Reach
The grave calls, the cradle waves
Darkness rules a barren world
Hope is slim in an ocean of sorrow
Life is a hell that mankind dwells in
Tears wet the land and pain sprouts out
Failure covers the plains to feed the masses
Yet at the end, there’s a pit of darkness.
BUT behold, the savior reigns
To deliver hope and bring peace
The destiny of the upright,
The day of light has been born
The farmer reaps big at the harvest
Pregnant clouds produce rain
In the mystery of salvation, there’s a destiny to reach

The Era Of The Dead
They live to die!
Death, the longing of all men
They are born to die!
Fate, the companion of infants
In this era, the era of the dead.
They strip naked
Like in the garden of Eden
Where innocence ended
And righteousness melted
From the era of the dead
To make ends meet,
They meet the ends
The ends of life
A life of values and morals
And on streets, they lie naked
The era of the dead
Who insure their death

Dreams And Visions
Dreams;
Facts that keep flying away
From the paths of reality
Into the driveways of insanity
And there, they mock humanity
That pursues them for eternity
Then they lead us into depravity
But dreams are birds that flee from reality
Visions;
The strings that hold the future
And hang around in the paths of reality
Neither illusions nor misconceptions
Vision if fate in a nutshell
That holds our destiny transparent
And reveals all the current
That makes the energy of life.
Dreams fly, Visions stand the test of time

Embracing A Stranger
He travels at night,
And slumbers at noon
But he swiftly comes in
Not to leave
But with a promise of staying forever
The stranger is at the door
Take him on, make him your own
For, he is here to stay.
Carry him on, nurse his wounds:
Because soon his wounds will be your own
Embrace the stranger
For good or for bad!
Take him to the ball room and dance
Drag him to the funeral and mourn
But take the stranger for good or bad
The stranger is you.
Your life is yours

The Wild Dogs
They are here
where winds of hope stir
but they are here to tear
not to serve hope but despair
The wild dogs licking
with their tongues dripping
and with their legs limping
in terror seething
all the children leaving
claws of greed tearing
into the womb of the nation
canines of power biting
into the foundations of our heritage
growls of shame lingering
in the hearts of our leaders
so wild but for a while
where power corrupts absolutely

The Boss
It was not because you hooted
that the cars in the front moved
it was not because you spoke
that the silence got missing
it was not because you prayed
that the city got saved!
can't you see it
that you are just a wave in motion
and that you hold no place in the ocean
can't you tell
that you are just a breeze in moment
and that reality owes you nothing
After all, it wasn't you
who told the sun to smile
the sun smiles on evil and good
those tears you wept did nothing
to convince God in saving humanity
so you are not the boss my dearest

21st Century Trade
Cheap values, expensive goods
and the thin line is drawn
where values and possessions meet.
A day's dime, for a night's round
and in a night lodge,
my virginity is lost
Fame for my sweet body
and in your video, i' ll appear naked
Today's entertainment!
Jets, guns, and artillery...
politics by other means
and my people will sleep hungry
The divorce:
and i' ll take my share
in the ruins of a happy family.

Tears And Snears
They cry,
because they cannot afford a smile
They shiver,
because they have no home to dwell
They breakdown,
because they toil for their leaders
They mourn because joy is only hope
but still they hope
because hope is a reality to the wise
but tears of the wretched will rain soon
They smile,
because tears are so cheap
They puff smoke,
because their bellies are warm
They only plan
to rob the poor man's pearl.
They rejoice
because their hope is in the present
They can never wait

The Soaring Crane
Through the searing pain,
history buried; for sorrow, time takes
The future lifted in the sky amidst hails
for the tears wept in the jaws of Hades
have reached prosperity's gates
And now the streams weep
into our hearts' depths and the boundaries strip
Angel's wings that flip
as we travel along a riff so steep
unto healing, all natives cling
The soaring crane blossoms in might
with it's mighty wings conquering heights
with it's hardened fists ready for a fight
glimpsing into the future with its keen sight
it set's off for its destined flight.

Make a Jest
I feel the winds blowing,
Sweeping away hope, blowing away faith
I see an enormous wave,
Drawing close, to flood my mortal body.
I stand in the dry lands
Panting and thirsting for a drink.
I lay on devastated pasture lands
With slim hope.
Then I hear a voice saying:
“Make a jest am with you.
Take a step, I guide you.
Give up strength, I revive you.
Seek for health, I heal you.
Feel my scars, I take the blame.
Behold the promise, I save the rest.
A child is born, the savior reigns
Immanuel, I am with you.
I am glad, when all is well with you.
