Rats & Jihaad


Sorry state of affairs
In everything I see
Turn to my left and I see them hating
To the right they’re making a mockery
Yet we sit here and we’re calm
Like it’s not really that big a deal
But don’t you see the injustice around you
Those going X Large
When some don’t even get a meal
Doesn’t something click
When you see that most of the world’s poor
Looks just like you?
Brown eyes, brown skin,
Like rats to them infesting the Earth
And really nothing more
They turned a whole generation against us
With some spoof scam
Making it out it was an act of Jihaad
When in fact we know better than that
We face Jihaad everyday
A struggle, fighting for our beliefs
But somehow deep within myself
I still really believe
That the people will rise
One day we’ll be free
Coming together as one
For the sake of humanity
All of this will be left in the past
I’m hoping it will make history books
But maybe I’m dreaming too far
And even if it doesn’t happen right now
Or in my lifetime
Or even in this next century
I know we’ll prevail
Because one thing I always remembered
Is that in the end
Good always overcomes evil.

Stole My Broken Wings


Lost in a bubble of anxiety
A broken hole full of cracks
Emptiness on which I choke
And a sadness at which I laugh
Entities all around
Floating within my reach
Reaching out my fingers
To clasp onto that which I need
They tease me and they mock me
As they jump away from my touch
Electricity-like against my skin
Burning me just too much
I close my wings around me
And lay down my head to rest
I know one day that I’ll break free
I know I’ll be the best
I am the best ‘cause there is only me
That’s all I’ll ever have
Floating alone in the universe
A sanely psychotic delusionary
Who is slowly going mad
Sparkling a little too dangerously
Enticing me with their light
Seducing me with their beauty
They are the reason I’ll take flight
These hollow wings are my haven though
This black hole a place I call home
This place cannot exist without me
Without me it is gone
A rainbow-coloured spectrum
Twists its way through my veins
Turning my blood from black
To everything insane
Yet I feel my wings thickening
I feel my insides come alive
I kick back and push myself
I’ve found a way to survive
Suddenly it closes in
The darkness places its hand over my mouth
It creeps into my eyeballs
From every place it sprouts
It tightens in around me
Coiling around my wings
And suddenly they’re broken too
And everything disappears
Floating in bubbles around me
They laugh like my pain is their medicine
They whip me with their silent words
It’s like my life is their experiment
Without my wings I take a seat
Their chains weighing me down
I sit there and take in the air
The air on which I now know
that I am destined
To drown.
