VAIN GAIN



Through precepts
Story preserved
And passed down
Of triumph well treasured
Victory so value
It’s worth and cost
Freedom fought for
Heroes who stood for it
And heroes who fell for it
How the shackles where shattered
The bleed and the plead
The treads and the treaties
The Valiant and the vanquish
Pass down to you
Put in your hands
What have you done
To maintain and sustain this freedom
I see it gradually washed
Washed away
By the flood of strife
I see it gradually swept
Swept away 
By the wind of deception
You stretch your hands
And that of your fellow countrymen again
To same shackles of slavery
You were liberated from
For your vain gain
Gain of the moment
Think again
Think!!!

LENSES

I struggled for too long Being who I wasn’t Fitting  my circle into other people's 
perfect squares -- into all their
expectations for me Their perception was all that mattered What they will see and say Their standard for success and achievement
I showed up acting who I wasn’t Like a dancing monkey under obligations to perform magic To gain their recognition and affirmations for being who I wasn’t Against being Me
I broke the chains and gained freedom the day I stopped looking at myself through other people’s lenses because I discovered people wore lenses tinted and shaded to suit them not Me

ABUSED - ‘SAYING SOCIETY’

ABUSED - ‘SAYING SOCIETY’ So loud So loud she shouted Shouting for help Every other night She is shouting I can hear her now He is hitting her again She's been hit, beat and battered Wounded inside out Lost her glow Lost herself-worth Lost her confidence Lost her smile All for what the society would say
She is grinding She is grieving She is dying Because the society won't listen to her No one wants to hear her own side of the story No one cares how she feels She has been told to stay there and fight for her home She has been admonished to stay and pray some more She has been told everything will be alright But for how long For how long She has been caged by what the society says
This 'saying society'
