      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Decay and death are the only law
It was what God once decreed
And since the ancient times till now
No soul from this decree was freed
We’re born, we live, we multiply
We invent cars and learn to fly
But if we ever decide to try
To break the law, to never die
The earth shall withhold
And heavens, deny
And so above, and so below
We’re all but seaweeds in an undertow
Our wills can’t resist the ruthless flow
You can’t control what you can’t bestow
Our lives are feathers flying to
A wall of steel, they can’t go through
It’s time to die and rejoin the queue
Of all the dead awaiting
The thing you’ll ask on your deathbed:
What righteous path did I ever tread?
Was my life worth this blood I shed?
Or was I steered and misled?
‘Cause no one will die in your stead
Your life will hang by a single thread
And all the tears you left unshed
Will now demand retribution
You’ll live the nightmare you always dread
And in that moment, inside your head
Your raving thoughts will seethe and spread
Today the madness you shall wed
You’ll offer your children, your every kid
The ones you raised, the ones you fed
To relieve the pain, you’ll bargain ahead
And after all was done and said
You will decay, you will be dead</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Corruption smells like roses
Till the petals touch your lips
They turn to poisonous nettles
Like the best relationships</p>

<p>They seep into your veins
And change you from within
When you think you’re done with pains
Brand new blisters fill your skin</p>

<p>Insidious changes make you blame yourself
It wasn&#39;t your decisions that made you do this
It was the poison, it made you blind and deaf
And you never noticed anything was amiss</p>

<p>Love corrupts perspectives
And takes away your choices
Love makes you protective
And silences all other voices</p>

<p>Love breaks common sense
And corrupts your logical thinking
It breaks down any defense
And your horizons start shrinking</p>

<p>Love is a construct humans made
To justify their innate meekness
Love is a construct we use to evade
Confronting our own weakness</p>

<p>Love is for those who feel insecure
In their own futures
Love is the promise of a cure
But is usually just sutures</p>

<p>Love is an empty promise,
Delivered on rosy lips
A ploy from a wily goddess
Torture. No flails, nor whips</p>

<p>Cull frailty and weakness
Escape from her grips
Don’t fall for her meekness
And beware her tricks</p>

<p>Say no to the temptress
As she spreads her legs
Be resolute, astute
Stay away from her webs</p>

<p>Be unflappable, resolute
While she spins her threads
Make plans and execute
When the corruption spreads</p>

<p>Love is a broken mirror,
Beholden by the needy,
A mistake, a cognitive error,
For a psyche that’s always greedy.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twice hunted, and thrice lost
I’m the one they haunt the most
My skin burns hot, underneath this frost
I made it out, but at what cost?</p>

<p>Not made of stone, my pitted heart
I’m flesh and bone, easily torn apart
I’m a human being, not a flow chart
I’m done with enduring, time to depart</p>

<p>From this norm I’ll break free
I’ll break shit and climb a tree
I’ll go dunk into the sea
Fully clothed in winter</p>

<p>I’m done with these shackles of social norms
Done with jail cells we call our homes
I’ll break your laws and tear your forms
Let’s see what comes when no one conforms</p>

<p>My soul is free, and it shall fly
Grow new wings and hit the sky
The world is big but we all tie…
Ourselves to golden posts and cry</p>

<p>So fuck this chain and gilded cage
Fuck this play and fuck this stage
I’ll revolt against this age
I’ll let out all this rage</p>

<p>Fuck this need to feel secure
Fuck the disease and fuck the cure
I’ll no longer bear and I’ll not endure
I’ll break this mould, I know for sure</p>

<p>I’ll cry out when I feel some pain
I’ll show disdain and I’ll complain
I’ll talk back and I won’t restrain…
Myself from punching back ever again</p>

<p>Keep your walled garden,
Where you’re prisoner,
And you’re the warden.
Draw on walls,
Make some art
But when your sky falls
You’ll have to start
Over</p>

<p>You keep your lovely prison cell
Your sterile walls and empty shell
Keep your ego, make it swell
Keep your high horse,
And broken citadel</p>

<p>Years fly by, they never pause
Time goes by, have no remorse
When life bites you, grab her jaws
Don’t take shit and break her claws
Head-butt her back, and bite her paws</p>

<p>Don’t ever give a fuck about your flaws
Don’t seek punishment nor seek applause
You are who you are, just because
No need for a reason, nor for a cause
You’re who you are now, not whoever was</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some words call
Some words maul
Some words stall
And some words fall
On deaf ears
And some grow tall</p>

<p>Words flow like a river
Words grow like trees
Some words will last forever
Some will spread like disease
Some words die
Some words try
Some words cry
Some words barely hang by
And some words fly
Some words take wing and reach the sky</p>

<p>Some words burn brighter than the sun
Some words stun
Some more dangerous than a gun
And some words just want to have fun
Some words we shun
Some words we tell to everyone</p>

<p>Some words are sad
Some words are bad
Some are ramblings
And some are mad
Some words rhyme
And some just pad</p>

<p>Some words are negative
And some are positive
Some are sedentary
And some are evocative
Some words are passive
And some are provocative</p>

<p>Words have dynamics and state
Words have charge and weight
Words have momentum we can appreciate
A property we can’t properly estimate
Words have energy we can debate
Words have property and trait
Words have gravity
Words can alter fate</p>

<p>Imagine a universe made of letters
Where the molecules represent words
Adjectives, verbs, and nouns
All chained in neatly cords
Imagine their laws of physics
Imagine their atomic bonds</p>

<p>Imagine two stars colliding
And merging down their meanings
Imagine a blackhole’s gravity
Sending a prose careening</p>

<p>Imagine letter peptides
Recombining, hydrolysing
Imagine complex reactions
Imagine life arising
Imagine little meanings
Oxidising, ionising
Competing for resources
Minimising, maximising
Imagine tiny phrases
Evolving and specialising
Then forming complex proses
Fighting and organising</p>

<p>Into your words
You breathe new life
Words are alive
‘Doodad’ and ‘wife’
It matters not for which you speak
Harmony… or strife</p>
