The Prisoner

“A Man defending his country at least should get some respect”

I’m just a soldier inside your cave
I’m not so innocent however I’m not so brave

Don’t seize my freedom you’re not my mighty God
Live with dignity or to be buried in mud.

It’s not your right to treat me that way
If you have the power I have a lot inside to say


Standing in pride seized inside my chain
Maybe I’ve lost everything but I still got my brain

My thoughts are not just rage and anger inside of me
Those were my guide that showed me how strong I should be

It’s the way I keep listening in silence where my thoughts have been banned
It’s when I feel ashamed of myself when I have to obey your command


If you can’t see that you’re pathetic it’s just because you’re blind
It’s not me who needs your sympathy at least I can still use my mind


My struggle inside your prison was just a matter of time
Maybe I’ll be suffering for a while but soon I will be fine


Thanks for your humiliation and for all the words you made me hear
You gave me a life time experience and there’s nothing left I would have to fear

Death and the power it holds

I understand life, But i am never able to expect.
Is it a test, or experience we detect?
But what I know is, life is short and rapid like wind
Live it right, and always remember your soon end

When agony eats your flesh, and worms feed on your brain
When sickness shrivels your body, and no blood left in your veins
And your skin dries up, and your heart beats less
You stand alone and nothing remains but illness.

When you shout for mercy, and no one would hear
And crawl out of your pale body, and at you people sneer
Then you bite the dust and drink what you pee
Wondering "what sickness has done to me ?"

And everybody leaves, leaving you alone.
Hatred runs in your body, makes you moan
And soon you will leave with oblivion wave
Perished by death and buried in a dark grave


And here it comes the moment you regret
The moment when it's too late to repent
In which you suffer more than ever
And pain floods in your body like a river

Beneath the dark moon you decay
And forever in your tomb you stay
And finally you meet the great one you've always forgot
Your creator and savior. your mighty God

Marching Creatures

As long as we march, we meet strangers, they do march as well. Some people run faster
Some others retreat. Some people take a rest; some others have no time to waste
Some people go straight, some others drift
Because they never know what’s waiting for them at the end, Ambitions go faster than the wind
And once they fear, they tremble, either they stand or crumble.
Without company they’re alone, A friend shines in the early dawn
No matter how long it is to crawl, it’s a must to cleanse the soul


Without faith they’re lost, Clinging to what they believe in most

Instinctive needs drive the action, but instead of truth they may choose fiction
But need is a motivation that pushes forward, when hatred becomes an aberration retreats backward.
And in the rush they fight, making of the pilgrimage an ugly sight.
And in the walk they carry a message to convey, but with distraction they find in the way
they may not be able to deny it, because human’s nature leans to justify it
And I am one of the marching creatures, I’m a speaking soul embodied in features
I have the evil good in me; I have many only God can see.
