This life, it's a boxing ring
we are constantly
jumping on a dagger trampoline
it's up to you
and me, to throw the punches
or be punched,
to serve the K.O.'s
or be T.K.Oed
Mr. Obstacle is the boxer,
he dances like riddles
solve the conundrum of persistence
and your punch
shall surely hit him hard
He's ripped,
muscles of defeat
black trunks of frustration
weighs dark pounds
of furnacing pressure
but you must be body-built
in the gym of visions;
lifting the weights of determination,
to defeat this
epitome of destruction
that has long
corrupted our system with disbelief,
take him down!
and set the world free
from the conviction of limitation.

Only he, could reveal the secret,
but your flaws does solicit
with utmost care,
when friendship hugs him,
but falaws turn to a snare
when he unleashes it
as the smile of dynamite
In the name of jokes, a jocular tunic
does he hide his dagger
ready to strike,
when you don't give
him what he wants
He is a vending machine,
nothing goes for free,
but gently disguised
himself as friendship,
surely will not stand by
you when the hurricane,
strikes,
and shall even sedn
the tornadoes and the gale,
to tell the novel of treachery
But this breathing lie,
will be unmasked by
the discovery of time,
where the truth
shall be seen for what
it is.

Happiness smokes a cigarrette
by the amber's glitter,
the smoke invades its lungs
and its black heart already,
blackens with walking destruction
Look!
Happiness smokes a cigarrette
and financial lust,
an economic nicotine,
that magnetizes expenditure
Happiness smokes a cigarrette
as my mind becomes lofty
beyond the fog,
with voices in my brain,
may I pardon my heart,
that it permits me to cough
and my life to cough
Happiness smoke a cigarrette
and my eyes redden
with a clogged mind,
the prophecy of rigid tears
to caome,
the alcohol, the cider
and the silently, timed
murder of luxury,
grabs me by its jaws.

You see me,
but the mirror of your eyes
do not declare me sane
enough for the fluence of your mind
I realise verbal hate
and the complacency of your intelligence,
sits, relaxed,
full of false prophecy
You sit on top of the panel,
your mind refuses to wisely meander
and hands refuse to feel,
the grow numb,
by the hormone of surfaceness
and with an intentional negligence,
fail to see reality,
invading fantasy,
with the swagger of wrong words
You are the judge,
sitting on the couch
of your own justice
and sentencing me
to life or death
heavenly or hell
the truth conceived by
the womb of your
mentality shall surely tell.

my life gasps for air,
as it dearly tries to catch vapours
sulking in conviction,
I am a monument of broken bones
like pity
it crawls on its belly
The streets are mattress
of distress in atro-city
then I sneeze my fortunes away
with each breathe of life
with each breathe of hopelessness
I am weak,
so do my muscles betray me,
so much so that I cannot
even lift up the air,
strength is a treachery
My eyes are wrestled and weel beaten
by mystery,
my eyes punched by the sting
of displeasure, do redden
by the sight of discomfort
and the bitter taste of displeasure
I succumb to a trance,
which buries me beneath
suppresses my works
and kills my heartbeat.
