Salam 04:25
The sun goes dark No stars tonight The streets are fires of man-made plight The wind wears wings Of ill-borne will that flutter still on window sills The pen that wrought these pearls of thought has long since ceased its tortured course And wrapped in shrouds of fever dreams, a poet hears the angels sing Salam His feet now fall on a soot-stained floor and his knees go weak at the sight that’s wreaked A blasted field of fire and steel And all humanity seemed to burn within a violent, writhing, man-made sea of blood and bullets and RPGs Heaven cries out with heavy tears But the hate’s so loud man can’t hear Salam In flames well-fed by fossil fuels, the scythe of Death deals its due- his heart goes cold, soot stains his face but his voice still fills that dismal place: Is this fate's final blow Then let my final verse now flow – Elude us ALL those pearly gates, till hearts of peace undo the hate. credits

Cigarette butts on an ash filled floor a poem forgotten and I'm writing some more Fallen forsaken bound and broken enlightened empowered raging in silence illuminate eradicate start over again a poet and a teacher a princely pied-pauper a treasure for your leisure a note out at sea leader and follower neither is me neither is me, neither is me a killer who's a winner a wild wall street wrangler watches from the window for a fresh faced harvest a sad serenade singing one man brigade makes homemade lemonade from welfare aid a hunted homosexual and consenting bisexual heal a frenetic dumpster diving dyslexic a dreamer and a schemer with dead distant demeanor dumps a dubstep drummer for a drunk dame who's dimmer neither is me, neither is me I'm a 99-percenter and a person of colour a previous homeowner with no present buyer A peripheral savvy lipstick heavy long lash luscious booty stick thin skank a sometimes sexy and super-scent heavy green-card crazy gold-digging little brat damaged goods and destitute livin on a playa paying for the living by playin on his flute neither is me? Tales for the telling and songs for the asking food for the wanting and drink for the dying Hell for the pious and heaven for the devil Hope for the lost and a Harlot at the saddle A wish come true is a curses you choose Pain so bad it turns to pleasure again I'm not anyone special I cannot be considered wise but some things I've learned as a student of life

Hantu Balu 03:17
Tadi aku jumpa hantu hantu itu nama Balu Tadi aku jumpa hantu hantu itu nama Balu Jadi aku pun tanya hantu Apa story jadi begini Dalam diam bak dinihari hantu Balu jawab begini Mana tidak ku sakit hati polis pukul ku sampai mati Mana tidak ku sakit hati polis pukul ku sampai mati hey Tadi aku jumpa hantu hantu itu nama Balu Tadi aku jumpa hantu terus lari, tulis lagu
