I see your old and battered face
I remember these lines so well
The heartfelt worries and the laughs
They represent your life, they tell

The story of your ups and downs
Compassion granted to your friends
The vital things you taught your kids
And learning lessons never ends

You’re almost at the end of life
Just a few breaths are left for you
Thank you that you have been my friend
And you always loved me, I knew

I close my eyes and see our house
With the chipped front door out of its rods
The faded paint, the crooked window frames
It is still standing against the odds

When I put one foot over the threshold
I see my childlike drawings on the wall
The wear of the carpet in the hallway
Where we were having a ball

I see a shallow hole in the paneling
Where you slammed your fist
Because you were enraptured
The first time that we kissed

I notice the abundant food stains
Of spaghetti sauce and peas
And recollect the cleanup
Of yogurt and cream cheese

I remember all the obstacles
The pitfalls and the cracks
But also the enduring love
The way we used to relax

We left this place a long time ago
Children grown, this house too large
But after all these long forgotten years
Even so it has a positive charge

Occasionally, when I come down here
It still gives me a rouse
Because I will never cease to love
This old abandoned house

I’m not a racist, I love all people
I am not preaching from a steeple
I hate religious terrorists who want to rule the world
Who think they can change our pattern whorled

The largest mass destruction is being conducted in the name of allah
You are missing the crucial brain part amygdala
If you want to believe, believe in humanity, in love
Not in an ethereal creature somewhere above

If I find that you are worse than a beast
And now I am fairly mild to say the least
Then that is my right of mind
Because of all that I am, I am not blind

It is not up to you to punish us
You are just a mean human cuss
If you can’t respect my life then that’s the obliteration of you
You won’t exist very long and that’s my point of view

If you are so desperate to meet with your creator
Don’t turn the rest of us into a hater
Just leave this world the same way you came
As dust to dust, but with big shame

Nothing to hold on
They said it wouldn’t last
There was nothing to hold on
We both had a troubled past
Our love would come and gone

Although we had our differences
And sometimes created a big mess
Once in a while kept our distances
It’s now many years ago that we said yes

Our love has been evolving
From craziness to being content
Instead of fights to resolving
And arguments being mend

After the battle we will revile
And we are still standing strong
A little breeze once in a while
So it’s nice to have proved them wrong

Feeling the emptiness in my heart
Couldn’t sense my passion anymore
Suddenly everything fell apart
Nothing in my life left to explore

All my loved ones left one by one
Had their own destinies to fulfill
Their compassion was finally gone
My life came to a lonely standstill

That dark cloud hanging over my head
It took my cheerful nature away
I dragged myself to an empty bed
And slept in the darkened night and day

Suddenly there was a tiny light
Just glittering like a Christmas star
It came from a tiny fairy sprite
She directed me to where you are

And when I thought there was nothing left
She showed me memories I forgot
Instead of feelings I was bereft
I recall the magic that you brought

You hurt me so bad that I will never overcome
The evilness of your so-called righteousness
You made me doubt and lonesome
My brain can’t wrap around your libellous

No matter what, I won’t forget
Your terrible ways of destroying
It’s best I act as if we never met
So I can remember my days enjoying

The fun, the freedom and the joy
Of living in the here and now
I am gladly turning from your annoy
I still can’t understand how

I let your mess within my life
I thought I was stronger than that
I have seen enough pain and strife
I am not sure what you were really at

But I am sure you’re the worst hypocrite I know
The most vicious man I’ve ever met
I shall never forgive you, it is better so
Nothingness is exactly what you get

People tell me that I am wrong
She was not to blame
Because she never whished to learn
To love without shame

The one thing she loved to do was
Acting like a dame
Forget her kith and kin and just
Wallow in the fame

Her life was fake and insincere
One big phony game
The only thing she could do was
Light up like a flame

She’s never dried my bitter tears
Never called or came
So why am I supposed to love
The bitch with no name

I am dreaming the night away
Making up stories you won’t believe
But when I’m awake during the day
There is nothing I can achieve

Because when the sun is shining
My thoughts disappear like cotton wool
And all dreams with a silver lining
Fading until the moon is full

Only then I can write my thoughts down
In the early hours of the night
The rhymes are easy flowing around
Help me carefree towards the light

He told me I was stupid
That I couldn’t do anything right
He made me feel I was worth nothing
That is why he kept me tight

He cut me off from people
Who loved me and were special to me
He made me feel stupid and obliged
And convinced me heatedly

He taught me how to obey
And pushed me around, drove me to tears
He was the only one I needed
Then caressed away the fears

He made me beg for my life
Then he handed out the final blow
And made sure I truly understood
He would never let me go

I wonder why humans can be so intolerable
And why it always hurts so much
When you are at the receiving end
Of that unreal and narrow-minded touch

What kind of genes are the cause of hypocrisy
I’d like to know how bigotry was originated
Why we can’t get along with each other
And where that jealous feeling was created

Some people say religions are the same
They all worship just one god
It is just very unfortunate
But the perception of these gods is odd

And then there is homo-sexuality
Some say it’s just a disease
Other people are terrified
And it is giving them great unease

And why is it that the colour of our skin
Creates a pointless small-mindedness
And the perception that they are less
Is only surpassed by farsightedness

I guess that finally the time has come
To get real and stop to believe
In what others say and only trust in yourself
Open your mind and let your heart perceive

I don’t mind who or what you are
Nothing will ever get me scared
For me there’s only one important thing
In my heart I know that I have cared
