Don’t worry, this poem is not about any particular individual/individuals. So, I don’t want anyone contacting me, questioning, challenging me, as… Continue reading

Obama has brought Change, but not the Change We wanted:
You’ve changed the way that Politicians lie, how our mothers & widows cry: Drone-strikes knock-down our towns, there’s countless shattered bodies around… …You’ve turned America upside down, with your slick talk, and your cool sound. You’ve even caused those who believed you to scorn you… …Who would’ve thought that this would be your colors true.… Continue reading

The Reasons why I can’t divorce Remorse:
There’s this love-hate relationship that I have with Guilt… …One that forces me to behave as I should do, to the hilt. Breaking-up is the very hardest when you try to distance you from yourself, to break away from your very own conscience. There’s always this sense of detachment, you feel that you… Continue reading
