OF LOVE
Let me cry this cry
Purge my soul of pent up frustration
And of pain welled up from listening to all of you lie
Silently, I have suffered in pain and damnation.
Let me dry these eyes
Scourged with hot tears which won’t stop
Pumped like a fountain which at the square spouts
Poison which if not flushed makes the heart stop.
Let me shut this frayed heart
Wounded too many times and brutally bruised
Listening to many lies, told by men wearing fancy hats
Gay, formal and some well worn and used
Still, I want to pursue this love that has gone sour
In hope that I can still restore its long lost luster.

OF TEARS
I have seen it all before
The pain hidden on faces which come to the fore
As they walk past trying to keep up the eternal charade
I see it sitting long hours at the corner store window watching the parade
Behind the façade of the smile
Is where deep-rooted pain and sorrow lie
Lurking and threatening behind the thin veneer
In desperation and fear the smile shudders in despair
I have seen it only once
The man’s tears mixing in with the rain
Hiding his purpled face behind the pouring rains
He doesn’t know that I see his deepest pain
I salute the oppressed, depressed and suppressed
They have weathered so many brutal storms
They are so pressed
Yet, they smile like not doing so is out of form.

OF LAUGHTER
Fill the house with your cheery laughter
It brightens the day and makes the soul gay
Laugh then sing thereafter
In that sonorous voice which makes even birds sway
Sing and make the flowers blossom
Laugh and make the sun shine brighter
It is wonderful and sweet to wallow in that sonorous bloom
And that smile which bursts forth unbidden like fresh spring makes the heart lighter
Peel off the pains and gloom of today’s filth
Laugh and forever make sorrow forbidden
Pure laughter not served in guilt
Makes life fun and very fulfilling
Always look on the bright side
And keep someone who can laugh gaily and truly by your side

OF HATE
Why?
It is a wonder when brothers maim and murder
Sad
How they turn against each other and plunder
Bad
The hate which strikes and lays love asunder
Mad
The senseless rage with which they commit this blunder
Why?
Again I ask in shame and wonder
Hate
If only I can find and lay you to rest forever!
