When the Dead are Buried Alive

When the dead are buried alive,

The sun is up at night.

When the dead are buried alive,

Apple trees start growing mango leaves.

Then rainy days will snow even harder

With the moon and it's blazing heat 

And the stars showing in broad daylight

While the barks of cats can be heard

During midnight at noon.

When the dead are buried alive,

Flowers will fall from the sky

And dead leaves will grow on trees.

People wouldn't care if fresh water was everywhere

And fish would swim on land.

When the dead are buried alive,

A pastor would preach about anything but God

And religion wouldn't start a war.

When a sunny day is full of rain,

And people start dying of a disease called shame,

The crowds would start shouting quietly

While they clap silently and cheer without noise.

When the dead are buried alive,

I will meet you at the dawn of night

And tell you,

I don't love you

And kill you with a knife

The Voice Inside

The voice inside

Is something that won’t be heard

It’s reserved for those who understand

The aesthetic meaning

Of the voice that speaks from within

Even though the voice is heard,

No one really understands

The meaning it’s trying to portray

Because people just hear it

Without actually thinking about it

Which is why it’s a silent beast

That only comes out when needed

A creature that charges reality

With words that kill and sting like a deadly bee.

Looking Back

Looking back,

I was never the same.

I used to tiptoe all around

And pretend to have several names

Looking back,

I wanted to be a doctor,

But now that changed,

I want to be a writer

Looking back,

I saw the world as a fairy tale.

My house would be the castle

And of course I, the princess

Looking back,

I thought adults had it easy,

But now I wish to never grow up

And pretend to be happy

Looking back,

I am still the same.

I run around the house

Like someone you can't tame.

Looking back,

I still have more years,

Before I head out

And begin my career

Looking back,

I never really changed.

I'm still happy 

And I understand more things.

Looking back,

I don't wish to change.

I love the way I am

And I am still the same.

Silence.

It's more powerful than you think.
