To ALL my Liars- This one is for you!

When I
looked into your eyes-
I remember seeing lies-
that I couldn't quit find-
Coz you were trying so hard
to hide...

How did it feel?
To look at the truth in my eyes-
When deep in your heart-
you knew you were telling lies-

When I showed care
In everything I did to you-
How did it feel?
Not to care-
And not to spare
Me- the heartache?
And to laugh at me inside?

Where you are now...
Do you walk with pride?

I mean...
Knowing that you lied?

And when you look at her
baby-
And repeat the lies- you lied-
How do you feel inside?

Have you rehearsed
your lines In the mirror?
Are you Starting to
Sound A lil' clearer?

Did you look into your own eyes?
Have you started believing
your own lies?

How does it feel-
To
NOT be able to turn
Your
lies into truths?
Your
Cover ups into proofs?
No matter
How hard you TRY...

Do you EVER
Ask yourself why?

I mean...
Why you had to lie?

I bet you wish...
WE never meet
again-

I bet the truth
makes you sicK-
I bet you wish iT
didn't exisT-

I bet you wish...
I was the one lying...
And that you were the truth-
That there
was NO proof-



You are...

A prisoner-

tied to your own chain of lies-

Do you...
Ummm...
Do you sleep well at night?
Knowing you're not right?
Or do u FIGHT?
With the truth
that CREEPS
into your SLEEP...

Do you count sheep?
And loose count?
And think about
your lies?
Again and again?
Do you?

Do you break sweaT?
Knowing that the TRUTH
almost crepT-
Out
like a mole in a hole...
You forgot to disinfecT?



And does it kill you???


That one day-
No matter the struggle-
No matter the effort-
You put-
In covering it ALL up-

Does it kill you-
That one day-
When its TOO late-
Truth will show up?

Does that thought-
Make YOU want to throw up?


Does it?


Does your conscious bug you?
Does it
Stick to you like glue?
When you act like you got no clue-
About what you know- I know- we know Is true

Knowing one day u will have to pay your dues-

Can you hear the faint knocking of truth on your door-
Like a whore-
Who forgot her purse-
Doesn't the truth just
Look like a curse?
To YOU-
right now?

The air from your lungs-
I bet confession contemplates
with your tongue-

And the deep breaths you take-
trying to keep the lies down-
But they keep u awake-
Next to her-
Bet that makes feel
you bout to break-
Bet that makes you feel
not real homey-
But what's the word?

Oh yeah...

FAKE-

Bet that lying
looks like a mistake now-

Don't it?

When you should be nodding your head
But you shake it instead

I bet you dread...
The sound of my name

And it keeps coming up every now and then-
Coz people keep talkn bout how
I'M
on my way to fame-

And not because of you-
But because of who-
I am as a person-
A poet, a creator-
And you're not in the crowd to applaud
-nope-
You're all the way back there
 with the haters-
Shame...
This could have been different-
But I'm done with your shit-
Me and the truth will just
see you A bit
later...
And that will be when I'm much greater-

But thank you for inspiring me to write this piece-
I couldn't have done it with out you-

Remember to give me a shout,
when your lies become true-
Oh right... that's never-
So I guess its deuces to you!

MY writings are H

 In 1994

Looking in
History books-
Feeling helpless-

In 1994

How could I have saved you?
How could I have told you?
Or how could I have warned you-?

That something terrible
Was about to happen?

That I could prevent you’re loss-
And prevent the atroc-ities
About to happen-

19 years a go
And that it wouldn’t cost me
The pain I’m feeling now-
And that you wouldn’t just be-
A memory to me-

Tell me how-
How could I have prevented the past?
And prevent the mass
Killings in Rwanda
Bodies thrown under
Ground-
No sound (from the rest of the world)-

But in 1994
I was only 4…
And I- didn’t know…
How in God’s name to save you-
How in God’s name to tell you-
How in God’s name to warn you-
I’ll always be sorry for 1994.

 
 In 1994-

How could I have changed you?
How could I have shown you?
That we were and are all the same-

Not Tutsi Hutu or Twa-
But Abanyarwan-da-

That there was no difference-
The God above- who made us
Would have been my witness-
What cased you to feel different?
What caused you to feel ashamed?

How could I have shown you in 1994?
That there was more we had in common-
And that all of us belong-ed
There was no reason
For neither one of us to-
Be wronged-
For we have always been-one-
Cause we are all human
Under this yellow and gold- en sun-

In 1994 how could I have shown you?
How could I have changed you?
I apologize for not being able to- stop you-
In 1994


But since I couldn’t be there-
And it’s now our past-

Every April
Our flag hangs
At half-mast-

Your memory
Will forever last-
In our
Hearts soul and minds
As we continue to pray
For all mankinds

That we change the world’s face
Make it a better place-

Because of you
We have learned to
Smile our similarities
And value whatever differences-

We the future strive for a
Brighter future-
With dignity and unity
Moving forward positively

From 1994
