Hour Of Grace

Dry Your Tears Mother
Because It's Already Time
For Hour Of Grace To Kick Off
Don't Think Of Earth Swallowing You

That's How Twice As Tall You're Toward The Earth
Dry Your Tears Mother
Because It's Already Time

Don't Think Of Suicide
Instead Think Of Curbing Suicide
Because You're My Greatest Mother
The Beauty Of A Pot Is Seen By The Cook
That's How Good You're When It Comes To Chef
Dry Your Tears Mother
Because It's Already Time
For Hour Of Grace To Kick Off

Foodstuffs

There Was A Country
Food Is Rich
Yet Food Is High
There Was A Nation
Food Is Many
Yet Food Is Few
The Country Is Contesting For Election
Yet People Are Blind
To Vote For The Right Candidate
Money Was Shared
Some Were Bribed
One Candidate Was Called A Stingy Man
Once Upon A Time
Rice Visited Beans
Our Country Is Contesting
I'm Scared
Because I Know I Will Increase
If The Wrong Candidate Enters
Beans Replied To Rice
I'm Scared
Because I Will Increase Too
If The Wrong Candidate Enters
A Candidate Shared Money
A Candidate Used A Delta Man
A Candidate Was Called A Stingy Man
We Preferred A Stingy Man
Because He Has A Great Heart

Story Of Comb

Have You Ever Been Combed ?

From Then Henceforth
Comb Was Made The Boss
Stick Was Made The Servant

True Definition Of Life

I Love When My Friends Are Rich And Humble
That's The Spirit
I Dislike When My Friends Are Proud And Rich
That's The Flesh
Money Has No Master
It Flows High And Low
Death Has No Master
It Kills Small And Big
Don't Feel Intimidated
Be Contented With The Little You Have
Everyone Will Be Successful One Day
Whether You're Rich And Humble
Whether You're Proud And Rich
That's The Spirit
That's The Flesh
The Moment We Discovered That Time
Ticks Without Stopping
That Moment Some Will Remain Proud
That Moment Some Will Remain Humble
True Definition Of Life
Everyone Will Die One Day
At Least Let Us Sow A Seed Of Happiness
In The Heart Of Our Fellow Man
The Poet Rides His Horse
Oh! Poverty Don't Embarrass Me
That I Will Be Rich And Proud
Instead Stay Far Away From Me
Why I Remain Humble And Rich

Guys On The Street

I Saw Three Guys On The Street
The Street Isn't Unknown To The Poet
Planning On How To Rob The Street
They Called Themselves Construction Workers
There's Nothing To Construct
They Were Putting On Construction Wears
I Walk Upon Them
Hello Three Brothers
Is There Any Problem ?
Are You Looking For Anyone ?
They Ignored Me And Were Murmuring
I Sounded Alarm
The Street Landlords Gathered
Dear Poetic Man
Is There Any Problem ?
Are You Looking For Anyone ?
I Pointed Them To The Three Guys
The Landlords Said They're Just Skit Makers
Entertaining The Street
Then I Remembered
Today's The Poet Birthday Party
I Saw Three Guys On The Street

Then We Asked Ourselves
Which News Was Announced
Which Announcer Announced It
Then He Needs To Answer It
We Were All Alone
Minding Our Businesses
Immediately It Was Announced In News
A Vision Is Coming This Year
