The Lost City


The night comes

in a dark shadow

through a scene

of a battlefield

enfold with a

shattered dream

comes a legacy

of a story to tell

the streets remain in a

silent echo on stage

whisper of wind

murmur in shed tears

in every breath of life

is at a state of crisis

with a convey message

by a death sentence

from the disaster war

bring a sense of fear

from the witness

of the atomic bomb

consume the soul

with despair

sending a chill down

to the spine

haunted by the

pass ghostly spirit

through the breeze

of dancing thick air

scattered mask fright

infuse the atmosphere

with terror

memory imprinted

with heartbreak

of a sorrow

in the lost land

that it calls home




In Peace, We Stand Together


In the shadow of night

beneath the struggle

surface hide

of heavyweight

from the burden state

Echo of pain

resonant in the siren

lost in an emotional wave

whisper wind found

submerge in a voice

trapped in agony

where silence resides

for freedom of right

seeking justice

Let the voice soar

from relentless fear

of conveying a message

guiding through words

in the spreading wings

to find strength

with love harmony

showcase from the

giving kindness through

the uplifting spirit

of guiding light

at the solace state

of solidarity stand

from unwavering

commitment and

continuous support

A generosity seed

bring to spread

the enlightenment of

inspirational goal

that forms peace

for a better place

to live

So, in peace,

We stand together 




The World


The world that

comes to display

is falling apart with

crisis of anger flame

filled the scenery

with a battle view

words have no

forms are falling

from the lips

to witness the

senseless act

remain in a silent tone

through a broken

heart and devastating mind

to confide in the untold story

from the tragic play

of suffering pain

with an awakening call

to remind us of the innocent loss

that peace needs to take place

With the call for unity

to define justice

to stop the chaos of all

Together we will rise to see

Prosperity comes to a place

From all the hatred go free

For the sake of humanity 

To maintain harmony
