I Want You To Learn Before It’s Too Late...

Waking up from my travel sleep,
Staring at the moving trees,
I shockingly saw through the windscreen,
Oh no no, it’s us and not the trees.

Coming out of my lazy sleep,
I could not resist, but day dream,
My mind ran back, just like the trees,
Back to the past, where things were neat.

I was then, much smaller and weak,
I used to cry and stumble and weep,
For no reason at all, now I see,
I was small, I just had to breathe.

I wish I knew it, when I was small,
I wondered why, no one ever spoke up,
Oh, I remember, I asked them to shut up,
Not with my words, but with my work.

Thinking of the past so mild,
Honoring my face with a broad smile,
Telling myself, those days were fun,
Looking at the teens who run.

You who own that sweet age,
I know you own and run the stage,
But let me have the mic for a while,
Please don't frown, I want you to smile.

I wish you have fun times like mine,
With that thought I share this rhyme,
Be aware of the things you might regret,
Especially the words, it's a very bad debt.

When intruders come knocking at the gate,
I'll show you how to lock that gate,
Oh no no no, please don't hesitate,
I want you to learn before it’s too late.

When The Lights Went Out...

Surrounded by four brick walls, I could not look out, they were too tall, Watching the steam escaping the spout, I looked out the windows so small. On this chilly and gloomy night, I was amazed by the stars so bright, I realized there's always some light, It's just a matter of catching our sight. At the time, everybody just frowned, My heart was filled with stormy clouds, Seated on the chilly ground, I enjoyed, the chirping sounds. Even though I had to shout, Trying hard to chase away the stormy clouds, With a prayer requesting for a favor, To the lessons taught by nature, My head I bowed, On the gloomy night, When the lights went out. -Debra R.

The place which once was considered home by many...

I knew a place where people called home But they were considered unconscious prisoners They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people thought was paradise But they were considered brainless slaves They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people were ready to die for And the place was ready to kill them all They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people spent their days & nights The place welcomed them with fake delight They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people wasted their personal life And was encouraged and cherished for doing so They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place who gave many their pride And burned that pride into ashes in a blink of an eye They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place which was everything to many But they were just a replaceable resource They d

Together Let's Plead...

There used to be days, He stared at the waves, With a smile on his face, Though his heart was scraped. For understanding he craved, Hiding in a dark cave, His sorrows were caged, By the judgments raised. He had no right, to shed a tear, In the light, he lived in fear, To survive, he did not need a beer, Yes he lives, on Earth, right here. The world would say, he's care free, I see him walking, bare feet, This sunny day, on the tar street, They helped him out, the shady trees. This sorrow my friend, would fade away, Our life on Earth, is a short stay, I know you're hurt, in many ways, To the selfish world, we all are preys. Feelings have turned from gold to steel, Idle creeps in to this life, to steal, Each day that ends, is a falling leaf, It's hard, to wake up, from this bad dream, To the one above, together let's plead. -Debra R.
