The White World in my Dark World



Have you seen the world I live in?
An ocean of Hollywood edifices with a Disney roof
Clothed in a uniform of heaven, a paradisaical
To beautiful, smiling souls cinctured with light
Whose daily meals are love, selflessness and compassion


But, chased out of imagination, here is the world I live
Where darkness is its worshipping outfits
Greed birthing hatred as the veins and arteries
Rapidly dispersing black, bad blood among souls
That's the world I live, and there is more


In the world I live in, God's special abode
Undiminishable light breastfeeding hope, but
Souls' hearts shaded in infallible inconstancy
Black in, white out or white in, white out or black in, black out
And the light is consumed by darkness that shadows
souls' mind


That's my heavenhood world where we claimed headword
The text, back and front of books is at the back of our palms
Yet souls turn combatants to jump in front of a board
Hold a pen, romance books and at night break, win an A4 paper
Afterwards, become street soldiers looking for war.


The street soldiers and darkness-clouded souls are one
''No hope, no hope, no hope'' is their new song of praise
Big brains of evil, and heavy hands for guns, bombs
Blood a common water, so to be drank at will when tasty
That's my world. It's of an abattoir than a war zone.


Enough is enough! Diving back into my imaginary life
The ocean of Hollywood edifices with a Disney roof
Clothed in a uniform of heaven, a paradisaical
To beautiful, smiling souls cinctured with light
Whose daily meals are love, selflessness and
compassion.
