I fail to see
The ugly in me
On good days like these

Love
Brother my chains are heavy
Sister, give them to me
Imagine| Short Poem
I know this is a Black and White battle
And Brown is not in between
Maybe it is a color that your lens has not seen
But imagine for a moment or two
That it was you
Imagine being born to such a bad circumstance
That being caught in a boarder provides a better chance
Have you earned that ground you call home?
Or were you, just like them, just born?
Moments| Short Poem
How can the end just begin
When I was just promised a tomorrow
That day that never comes
I spend my nights begging to borrow
Another minute or two
With people much like you
People who care
About little moments like these
Story| Short Poem
The story did not have a beginning
For it was always a continuation
Of another’s end
The King| Short Story
Maybe it was the lack of throne that made him uneasy
He sat on an elevated chair
Screaming at his subjects
Feed me
Alas the king was a child
The Child Within| Short Poem
The little child hides
Scared from the outside
Where the air can touch his skin
So he stays hidden within
And you age
Forgetting
That you are the key to your cage
Differences| Short Poem
The difference between you and me
Boils down to geography
I was born somewhere far beyond your sea
And so you see me differently
…
The difference between a citizen and a refugee
Is just
Another disaster of this world I see
Miles define who we are and who we can be
…
If you weren’t born where you were
Who would you be?
Getting Older
The things you were dying for
Are the things you don’t want anymore
New Paths
They say there are no boundaries
At the bounds of imagination
But all they can see
Is that path that was already taken
Stranger Paths
