River
River runs red
eyes see through
a candlelight view
mind to the ledge
The lips speaks with contradictions
the eyes don't lie so I converse with her
she shuts me out, word of mouth
they follow faceless devils
she opens up and the truth is shown
Faceless evil
crowded judgments
silence lethal
Full moon transformation
cry wolf
midnight whispers words of uncertainty
Clouds of disturbance
lies I see through crowded figures
faceless have I become
public enemy number one
punishment served in little doses
an end I create a new reality
a fallen soldier no longer
a new society, my mind
uncompromised

Faceless
Hate me with everything
Im better off without your animosity
Ill even sleep better at night...at night
I wont believe in you
Reminded me of everything you put me through
Now everything feels alright...alright
I feel so betrayed...mistaken
I create another day
Youll be gone tomorrow
Lie to me.. youre faceless
Youve made me out to be
Responsible for your self-inflicted misery
And never felt like this before...before
Dont be surprised to see
That I have nothing left for you to bleed
When you come crawling back for more...for more
I feel so betrayed...mistaken
I create another day
Youll be gone tomorrow
Lie to me...youre faceless
I create another day
Youll be gone tomorrow
Lie to me...youre faceless
I create another day
Youll be gone tomorrow
Lie to me...youre faceless
I create another day
Youll be gone tomorrow
Lie to me...youre faceless

Faceless
I can see in the dirty water
The city lies beneath the tide.
All I’ll say is that it must have caught her
Your daughter found her way inside.
Faceless there amongst the faceless
The murky depths a hidden place
We’ll find soon, it’s not hopeless
Could you for me describe her face?

What Are We Fighting For?
Battle flag in the bassinet
Oil and blood on the bayonet
Crowded downtown hit the floor
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger
Holocaust on a hairpin trigger
Aint no game so forget the score
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What will I tell my daughter?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow,
a faceless generation devoid of love?
The crucifix ain't no baseball bat
Tell me what kind of God is that?
Ain't nothing more godless than a war
So what are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What will I tell my daughter?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow,
A faceless generation?
What are we fightin' for?

Just Another Moment
There he is, crossing the road,
very slowly, walking away from me.
I recognise his back, the way he walks,
his smart clothes, his elegant stride.
Once we were face to face,
united together in an embrace,
which was so powerful, filled with such desire.
Now we are no longer face to face.
All that remains is a back view,
a totally blank view.
Memories come flooding back,
I feel a pain so intense, causing an emptiness within me,
that will never go away.
And as I look towards him,
he is suddenly engulfed by a crowd of shoppers.
A faceless body, disappearing in among other faceless bodies,
and I can see him no more.
Thus, this moment becomes 'just another moment', woven into my heart,
and, into the 'photo album' of my life.

Crowded With Lies
Why are some stunned by truth?
It is not something taught,
One gets accustomed to.
Billions are spent to fantasize.
There is no room for truth,
In a mind crowded with lies.
A progressive mindset,
Has been stunted because of this.
Dismissed are those who wish for reality.
And often they are labelled mavericks.
Or something less flattering,
To ensure their influence has no chance to exist.
Why are some stunned by truth?
It is not something taught,
One gets accustomed to.
Billions are spent to fantasize.
There is no room for truth,
In a mind bombarded and crowded with lies.
And yet those disillusioned,
Pray on Sunday...
To have their lives fixed.
While listening to sermons,
As to how sins and evil have them bewitched.
Their very lives lived are confused in conflicts.
Although truth for many has become feared,
And resisted.
Observed they are...
Bewildered, bothered and betwixted.
Why are some stunned by truth?
It is not something taught,
One gets accustomed to.
Billions are spent to fantasize.
And there is no room for truth,
In a mind bombarded and crowded with lies.
And the marketing of fresh lies...
Is a mainstay in most societies,
That has thrived and survived successfully!
But a continuation of a success like this,
Does not sustain its permanence.
Eventually a strain draining the brain prevents it.
People everywhere and everyday,
Reflect their lack of consciousness.
And revealing a 'craze' that has become accepted.

Faceless. Romantic.
Did someone look upon my
teenage thrashings and
breathe impatiently?
Did someone read my manic
spasms of semi-conscious
literature and detect a sense of
flammable loathing?
Shallow and hopeless?
Just a child in the throes of
a violent puberty.
A shameful wildfire?
There was such eternity in
my pouting criticisms.
Who's eyes did I roll in
my fragile years?
What faceless romantic
chided and shooed away my
fevered angst?
I realize now,
I'm the one who shoo's.
I suppose I'm that...
Faceless.
Romantic.

Insatiable
I am a faceless person and,
I am like the word beyond the world that touches your feelings;
Because when the sun rises,
Its sunset tolls to the legs pof many on a dreadful day.
Insatiable appetites,
But come back tonight for more;
For i am in search of my identity to express my feelings,
And like the love of the rising sun.
Peace and stability,
Love and passions;
Fly to the land of love to crown my name,
For i am the faceless person around your love!
Teenage pregnancy and school dropout,
Unemployment and hard drugs!
But try to support your brothers and sisters like,
The use of the right herbs of the forest! !
And like nature's stronghold in Affrica.
Lustrous as grapes and mangoes,
Endless with the wild paradise to study my muse;
But i will live always to tell my story,
And like the peace and the stability around you.
The democratic usage of enigmatic delight,
I am the faceless person around your love;
And like a traumatic experiences in the land of your muse,
But i am like the word that touches your feelings.

Crowded Room
Across a crowded room
I first set eyes on you
My vision was impaired
Obstructed out of view
By those - faces in a crowded room
Them - bodies in a crowded room
Their - breathing in a crowded room
And their - pushing me out
Down the fire escape
In the crowded room I wont touch too much
I felt the punch of a punch
The language was enough
To send me running etc.

I Never Thought (about This)
for once in my life
i have never thought
that you were that woman
who descended the stairs
of the moon
and to the earth here you come
thinking perhaps
that you are someone special
with the marks
of the craters
welcome
now don't think that someone is special
in my place
everyone here
are nothing but pebbles
some prefer to be sand
others mind you
simply want to be air
passing by
nothing to be conscious
about how they look
if you ask the right word
yes,
most of us are
invisible
faceless and cold.

When Will They Ever Realize
The sound of silence filled the air,
just before the dawn.
The sun’s streaky fingers stretched
forward on the fading night sky.
I walk in desolation,
for reasons I know not why.
The chorus of the morning birds
has yet to break the spell
of the unstrained silence,
which on everything had befell.
I tried to remember yesterday,
when the oyster of the world was mine.
I tried to see the smiling faces,
of those I loved and left behind.
The war was not mine or theirs,
but always someone has to go,
to do the battles for the sake of someone’s word.
An order given by a faceless person
and thousands throw away their lives.
There is no reason given,
and the faceless one doesn’t hear their cries,
of all those who fall on battlefields.
Giving up their families and their lives.
They call them cowards, those who refuse,
to follow orders to commit suicide.
There is no adventure in dying;
in a place, you cannot pronounce the name.
There is no glory in suicide,
but wars make men do it just the same.
When will they ever realize,
wars make no difference at all,
except to make rows of white crosses,
as memorials to those who had to fall.
I shudder at the sounds of the guns,
breaks the silence in my ears.
Will my loved ones before the days end,
be among those to shed tears?

I Only Have Eyes For You
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Cause I only have eyes for you dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
Cause I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes
Yes I only have eyes for you
For you

Along The River, The Stones And Pebbles
he fulfilled a promise
to be strong
alone with the rest of
his lonely surroundings
despite the
number
the storms
and drought
the devastation
of the quakes and
floods
no way
they cannot effect
him
them
along the river
they all lie
all faceless
stones
so many
pebbles
made by
God

Crowded
Crowded
Spirits walking on the roofs
no fear to fall or slide
no spirit of the dead
that did ever die
it's really crowded in the sky
and crowded in the streets
spouses and sprouts in all houses
crowded in my head am I
crowded in the underground
crowded in my ears
look what i have found;
my face crowded in tears.

Truth And Lies
Honesty flying around
The stories inconsistent
You tell me one thing
Another tells me different
Is there any truth left?
Are your words true words?
I know a lie's alive
I've been assured and reassured
Truth and lies
Fake or real
Messin' with my mind
Just take and steal
I'm not seeing straight
Literally, no lie
My eye for truth
Has been shot down, died
No mistakes and yet regret
Comes here and there and then
But when I step back
The situations a win-win
If your story is but true
I will believe it so
I will have made up my mind
Eyesight no longer blind
If only your mouth speaks truth
And your words are lies
I will pay attention & mention
And your story, you will revise
Ill mention your flawed words
Ill bring to notice:
Your story, you told it
My poem, I wrote this
Never in an ever
Fall for a clear lie
I see much much more
There's truth in my eye

I Am Always Closer To You
How do you come to me when, you don't know me?
How do you write to me when, you don't know my address?
How do you visit me when, you don't know my house number?
How do you call me when, you don't know my munber?
How do you paint me when, i am faceless?
How do you kiss me when, i have no lips?
How do you cut off my head when, i am headless?
But the more you look for me than ever,
I will be closer to you at your door;
For i am always closer to you than ever!

My Future Love
Before me stands I see,
a faceless form of the future.
I see an engraved darkness of her face,
so that I shall not know,
who this faceless person will be,
or our meeting how.
An before me I see the beauty of all creation,
so that I shall know not to yield to temptation.
For every mortal there is a weakness,
and within this weakness, temptation has its strength.
For me after my future love I’ve seen,
temptation seems heartless and mean.
Even though I guard against,
I am helpless in a sense.
For like a flower straight and tall,
must bend with the wind.
Therefore, I must lean a little when temptation calls.

Faceless World
Listen to me - this is a warning
You have to wake up out of this dream
Dont be a member of this lifestyle, please
I hear the beat of your heart
So better watch them - dont be frightened
Cant you feel it - cant you see it this time
So many things appear like wonders
Be shameless my friend - save what youve got
Welcome to this crazy world
You cannot blame everyone
See the stars and see the rainbows - see it all
Dont turn away - youre all youve got
In a faceless world
You can run - but you cant hide
Its yourself who waits for you inside
So believe me its not evil
To break out of this spell
Dont be wasting a whole lifetime
Dont betray yourself anymore
So hear me calling - this is a warning
When you feel it - dont lose it this time
One day you will be way stronger
Be clever old friend, cause then youll be free
Welcome to this crazy world
You cannot blame everyone
Dreams can come true
See the stars and see the rainbows - open your eyes
Dont turn away - youre all youve got
In a faceless world
You can run - but you cant hide
Its yourself who waits for you inside
So hear me calling
Dont wanna mistreat anymore
Just one desire
I want to break this spell
No more wondering
I wanna be clever this time
I hear your warning
I just wanna be myself
Saw the stars and all the rainbows - youve seen it all
You realized - youre all youve got
In the faceless world
You tried to run - but couldnt hide
It was you who found yourself inside
So hear me calling
Stop betraying yourself
Dont waste all your lifetime
Youve been mistreated so many times
In this faceless world
Youve got to break out of this spell
Listen to your heartbeat
Be restless my friend
Just one desire
I just wanna be myself

Reds In My Bed
Theres a fat man who offers a change of scene
Says hell guarantee my sheet will be clean
When I get on the outside
But who can you trust when the walls have ears
Im for takin a chance, like a drownin man
Im going under
Ive got reds in my bed
Im not easily led to the slaughter
And while the cold war exists
Ill stay warm with the commisars daughter
We could meet at the zoo where the tiger roams
In a prison of steel
He reminds me so much of the way I feel
And we know that were both in the danger zone
Where the eyes of the world
Full of shutters and bugs are upon us now
Ive got reds in my bed
I get blues looking out of my window
And were never alone, theres a tap on the phone
And my pillow
Let me go home
(theres a girl in a distant land)
Let me go home
(whos nothing more than a memory)
She dont know that Im gonna be free
Let me go home
(youre a land full of misery)
Let me go home
(youre a cruel and a faceless race)
I dont like your philosophy
I dont like your philosophy
The connections are made and the time is right
So my body is walled in the shell of a car
In the dead of night
And I laugh through the pain and the agony
As they cut me away to be born again
Back to humanity
Youve got reds in your bed
Theres a man lookin over your shoulder
But dont you give him your mind
Its too late when you find that its over
You!
Let me go home
(youre a land full of misery)
Let me go home
(youre nothing more than a memory)
I dont like your philosophy
Let me go home
(youre a cruel and a faceless race)
Let me go home
(youre nothing more than a memory)
I dont like your philosophy

Converse In Silence
when ego declines
your heart's insistence;
love,
converse in silence..
when words cease to exist
and mind repudiates;
love,
converse in silence..
when each word you say
is always held against;
love,
converse in silence..
asked to quit the game
far worse, you couldn't complain;
love's
too terse with silence!
Catch a Butterfly
Deep lies the truth, unfathomed,
you cannot touch it.
Crossing the faceless matrix,
do not reach the level,
reasoning flattens the spikes.
On sand, elixir falls
like drops from awakening.
Arising from sorrow,
mustiness fills your eyes.
This was truth or untruth,
two strokes of madness,
wedged between night and sun.
Silence becomes an eloquent speech.
Each day brings silly
statements wearing artful masks.
Commentary on a vision fails.
Right versus wrong.
The conents of conflict always
linked the fear with poverty of a Being.
The involuted self uncurls
a scheme of war with a big world.
Now the smiles catch
a butterfly to immitate the colors.
