I starved for food

I fastened for long hours

Not for zero figure

But,for bankruptcy of my father

Now,I've plenty of food

   "    fastening has become fashion

Not for zero figure again

But,for being billionaire

I faced poverty once

So,I don't wanna repeat-Written on 17.09.2012

I am.

A boy that dreamt of conquering the world,
Not with bloodshed and tears,
But with love and compassion,
For a world to be free, at peace, no proverty and illness
For a world, filled with love, compassion, hope and will
For a world, to be beautiful beyond measure
For a world, where the sun shines and rain dance gracefully

Please,
May I find strength,
To pick myself up
To find strength
To find valiant
To find light
To find me
Again.

Time is tinkering on the clock,
Time is running away
Time waits for none
Time is never kind
Time is change

I need to change
I need to be valiant
I need to get up
I need to fight
I need to correct
I need to  dream again
I need to believe, in myself

To learn and forget the mistakes
To move on
To carry on

Till my last breathe,
I shall NOT GIVE UP!
Come on, lets go! STOP WHINING OVER YOUR FAILURE AND GET YOUR *** UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BELIEVE AND I CAN

Silent screams from self indulged diluted paradoxes casts a spell on the unforgivable lips kissed by the devilish characters dancing upon a grave settled by many.
Transparent silhouettes race to embrace their simple structures some unattended by close perceptions of love.
Drained from pupils an acidic remedy consumes the purity of the children laughing a bout.
Fists crossed in anguish pollute with devastation causing a fury manifestation corrupting innocence not so sweet.
Society speaks in vocal peaks damaging the mentality of not 1 2 but 3 million in one millisecond.
Yet no one believes how well proverty speaks.
Uneducated, unemployed disappointments most see yet the struggle at face is way more than ***** sheets but ****** hands covered in fibers of cotton that stained green.
Pity pity pity me no us no we.
Blood diamonds don't even exist just money hungry thieves.

POVERTY
Gemini pen Jun 2020
A duet
Theme: Poverty

Mujheeda
Hunger visited our home
Refusing to depart,
Bold death rushed in
Making no man compromise..

Fuhad
Indigence, harbinger of shame
You thrown us into famish,  making our stomach coil in pain
With torn mat, rolled over the slickly Room we call ours
And make our roof not hammered with nail,  but tied over our head with dried rope
Children,  cried with no hope of satiation

Mujheedah

Pauperism we are!
Hopeless and discouraged by the heat of PROVERTY!
We yelled that our throat can't take the ease!

Fuhad

voice sounded bleary, lips quiver
dried from unnecessary fasting
arrows of poverty fired deep into the skin
plagued the household,
and keeps us on our heels

Mujheedah

Struggle with hurdle of pains!
Will all not vain?
Will the proudly future won't be OUTDATED?
The future of new generation is at edge!

Fuhad

three square meals?
abomination in our home
craving to get our thirst quenched
and the bowel full to the core
We'd suffer the rest of the days,  subjected to hunger

Mujheedah

Let the tears rushed down to the ground!
Forming the sign of ENDURANCE!
Escorted with PERSEVERANCE!
Arson the home of FEAR!

Fuhad

Poor Man,  devoid of ego
A beggar,  not a chooser
Eating only grasses and insects
With clothes,  faded and shoes worn out
Springs of the bed Rusted, poverty

Mujheedah

Stand Against POVERTY!
Chase the AGONY !
Moving ahead with COURAGE!
The END will be candy

What's up yall it's your boy Lou with something to talk about
This here is serious I want to know what was we thinking about
See we just had a presidential election look who won
Im gone call him out the devil's number one son
All he promoted was hatered and fear
What he said he was gone do he made it clear
So do yall really know who yall voted in
We in trouble until his 4 year term end
Well im gone tell yall who we put in charge
Yall know they put a racist in charge
How about they put a *** offender in charge
And now we got a felon in charge
But they said felons can not vote
Remember these laws they wrote
So I guess that give them the right to break them
If he was black with all those against him
He would have been in jail and not able to run
I really hope yall are paying attention to this one
See he over turned Rovey vs Wade our women are in trouble
He is ready to send all the immigrants out of here on a double
If it was up to him we be out of here on a slave ship
I'm telling yall this so called president is a trip
Show me one black community you gone improve proverty
I'll wait why I try to buy me some property
Anytime you say the **** is good people your a fool
There's nothing about you are the **** has never been cool
Now your boy DaSantos want to take black history out of schools
It all was put in front of us all on the news
Guess our eyes was closed why did we snooze
About this situation im gone tell yall how I really feel
Yes a racist and felon is running this country yes this is real
They say we are the United States of America tell me where is we united
Look to the right and left why are so divided
Whites still think they are superior to blacks
Police still shooting unarmed black men in the back
Democrats and republicans can't come together to pass a bill
It's things going on out here and they can't make a deal
This dude gone destroy this country yall dont see it
Our kids and wallets isn't the only thing gone fell it
Now you want to pardon the proud boys
If that dont show you racist **** that noise
See i see through your white sheets just like you do
Im gone pull it off are burn it while it's still on you
Like the president some of congress is racist undercover
I'm gone expose yall and remove that white cover
I know there racist people in congress I can see
They wearing suits and skirts instead of they white sheets
Fox News support him and believe everything he say
They just as racist and for a news outlet that's not okay
Fox so bais against Democrats and blacks it ain't funny
They only support racist republicans and rich people with money
To get in the white house a woman you can only beat
Everytime you run against a man you suffer a bad defeat
This message is for the racist republicans and their leaders Donald Chump
One of those attempts should have left your head in a slump
I know when yall hear this yall gone want to quite me and shut me up
I'm just trying to bring our people together and stand up
To the racist and corrupt congress we call the United States
I had to say what needed to be heard it can no longer wait
I'm gone fight for my people like Dr King and Malcolm X even if it seals my fate
Just writing to bring our people together and open their eyes to what's going on in the United States

— The End —
