When you can dream but dreams do not control you;
When you think but you go beyond thoughts to actions.
When you can keep your head high, when all is falling around you;
And the voices keep telling you are not good enough.
Trusting yourself when all men doubt you, nevertheless;
their doubts make you strife better.

Reminiscing Life: When you can…
-
Hold on, be at peace!
Hold on, it’s all about to end
I know you feel tired, I know you are weak
It seems all impossible, you have been told your dreams are too irrealistic
You have been told to think smaller and to be confined to a particular reality
The turn around is now, you are at the edge of a breakthrough
Be still, hold on, it’s almost over.

How I Wish My Cock Could Crow
Young lad he is, not born with a silver spoon though
But, his childhood wouldn’t have been any better
Cuddled in a loving hand of a caring mother
Trained by an understanding Man who is more of a friend than a father
Our lad has grown into a boy with short lyrics on his mouth;
“How I Wish My Cock Could Crow”

The ordeal of a heartbreak
Ouch! I have just been bitten by a snake
Oh! Little creepy creature; swift little bastard
Your venom is quick and sedative
Your poison is hostile to my bloodstream
Yet, it is relaxing and intoxicating
Explains why I am seeing one thing as though they were two
You filthy crawling demon, why would you have such beauty?
You have the cuteness of a newborn
Your eyes carry the ignorance of a bunny
And when you raise your head, tilting your fish-like neck forward
Even the breeze move slowly caressing your velvety bod
Aware of the havoc you are about to wreck
Sitting here, helpless and weak
As life slowly leaves my body
I refuse to let your venom tint the sweet memories I relished for so long
Fred, my cousin is here now but, the worm is long gone
Far into the abyss of the rest of the world
She left me; the serpent I married as a wife
Something must kill a man
But this is not a good way to go.
