    This is for the haters

    Who claim to be supporters

    Cheering for you

    While harshly judging you

    They claim to be critics

    As they break your spirit

    Not realizing the damage

    Their words have managed

    Rattling your insecurity

    Increasing your anxiety

    Setting you on edge

    As you wonder, Am I worthy of the stage

    Now you have a creative block

    Some sort of Mental block

    You’ve Lost the creativity

    Now you are Doubting your ability

    All you want to do is express yourself

    Work on your art and improve yourself

    You may not be as good as one of the greats

    But one day you might be great

    You are hearing voices

    Hey you wannabe

    You ain’t got what it takes to be

    The next Jay Z

    Stage 2 setting in

    As you close yourself in

    Trying to isolate

    Before it’s to late

    Are youLosing your mind

    Is this what happens to your kind

    It’s a slippery slope

    You ain’t got a rope

    Which will pull you up

    To help you stand up

    To boost your self esteem

    So you can get that personal win

    Looking for inspiration

    some sort of motivation

    To help this blow to your emotion

    To remind you, that you are worthy for all your dedication

    You need to look in the mirror and tell yourself

    You don’t need validation

    To keep doing your creation

    To please anyone

    Cause you got close friends and family to look up to

    Your biggest supporters

    When your fail

    Your biggest supporters

    When you rise

    Cause they don’t laugh or put you down

    When you try

    Maybe it’s to much to ask

    For them to believe in you

    Take away from their precious time

    To support you

    Or are they waiting

    For you to blow up

    So they can show up

    With a sign, your number one fan

    Since day one!

    Your not angry just frustrated

    That hard work is not appreciated

    To show some decency

    Towards a man trying to live up to his ability

    All yo want to do is make them proud

    For they have always been around

    All you want is them to applaud

    For all your efforts out loud.

  • Black Lives Matter
    Music by: AShamaluevMusic
    Music found on Soundcloud: Inspirational Ambient - Uplifting Background Music Instrumental (FREE DOWNLOAD)
    Black lives matter
    Is a serious matter
    It’s not just a phrase
    But a strong case
    Against brutality
    Caused by white supremacy
    By those who promised to serve and protect
    Upholding the law
    Not realizing the devastating effect
    I have a dream
    So many people scream
    Famously uttered by Martin Luther King
    Fighting for this very reason
    To stand up against discrimination
    To end bigotry and segregation
    To be part of a civilized nation
    Where your not judged by the color of your skin
    Where you’re no longer a minority
    And there is equality
    Unfortunately it’s still a dream
    Cause we are living a nightmare of a reality
    You ask what’s the matter
    Black lives matter
    It’s not a fancy hash tag
    To put on a T-shirt
    Like some graphite art
    It is a strong message
    Representing the many affected, different ages
    Living in fear
    Wondering is this the year
    I get shot or beaten
    For asking a simple question
    Or crossing an intersection
    You’re filled with rage
    Cause one man took the stage
    To address this hate
    Kneeling to the anthem
    To shed light on this matter, Black lives matter
    Like Malcolm
    Now he is axed
    Cast away and isolated
    Cause he used his voice and presence
    To speak up against your ignorance
    To shatter your privileged arrogance
    On the subject matter, black lives matter
    How many deaths will it take
    To see a mothers heart break, ache
    See her child on the news
    Become a headline, breaking news
    Not for prizes or accolades
    But a photo, deceased due to hate
    Are you so blinded by the system
    That you don’t realize we live in a broken system
    Where whites can carry guns and protest
    But blacks can’t even go to the grocery store without a consent
    Are we really in a first world country
    Where politicians pretend to try
    To understand this grave matter
    Blacks lives matter
    Where they only care about their congressional seats
    Making fake promises of reform
    Making glorified speeches, we understand
    But when the time comes, they refuse to stand
    For the one matter, Black lives matter
    So have we really progressed as a nation
    What is the measure of our progression
    The technological advancements of our generation
    Are we that naive that we can’t comprehend
    The simple human interactions
    Are broken and divided
    Because one race is considered superior
    And another inferior
    That is not progression
    That is a nation in regression
    Cause we can’t address what matters
    Black lives matters!

  • A Reflective Period

    Music by: AShamaluevMusic

    Music found on Soundcloud: Atmospheric Cinematic Ambient - Inspiring and Emotional Background Music (FREE DOWNLOAD)

    It’s a reflective period

    During this quarantine period

    Regarding my character and behavior

    On topics of sensitivity and candor

    Not taken seriously

    Is the image currently

    Fueled by actions and moments

    Of complete embarrassments.

    Firstly I must apologize

    As I do realize

    I play a part, small or big

    When being an absolute prick

    I’m partly to blame

    Assuming it’s fun and games

    Using words not thinking

    Whose hurting

    Words are dangerous

    They cut deeper

    Then a knife through butter

    Not realizing the person in front will suffer

    Due to lack of common sense and character

    We forget to be mindful for the simple things

    Humility, generosity, kindness among other things

    Quick to judge a book by its cover

    Not take the time to read the first page

    Cause the first impression is what matters

    Maybe it’s the kid in me

    Or the lack of maturity

    Tarnishi  ng my personality

    Trying to be goofy

    We are all guilty of this

    Not realizing that actions have consequences

    Inflicting stress on mans mental state

    Setting him up for depression

    A life time state

    Bullying is a real thing

    Social media ain’t playing

    It’s a fun way to connect

    But socially there is a disconnect

    People ganging up on an individuals

    Not realizing they are being cynical

    Are We trying to climb a social chain

    While acting like a complete pain

    Towards those who love us

    But respect us to much to tell us

    Time to step back and reevaluate

    Before it’s to late

    reflect and be straight

    Before people start to hate

    The attitude

    And tell us, stay away Dude.

    We live in a world full of sensitivity

    As education and technology

    Advance beyond our capability

    We must think before we speak

    Even though the first amendment states freedom of speech

    But there should be a disclaimer

    Read the room and social cues

    Before you speak

    It’s not too late to act your age

    Apply knowledge

    And move past days of college

    Use your maturity and sensibility

    Because we are part of a community

  • Our Deepest Fear

    Inspired by a Poem: Our Deepest Fear Poem: Marianne Williamson

    Music by: AShamaluevMusic

    Music found on Soundcloud: Uplifting Piano - Beautiful and Inspirational Background Music (FREE DOWNLOAD)

    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate

    Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

    Beautiful, strong and pure

    Don’t let the world bring you down based on

    Your gender, race, faith, sexual orientation

    Or your political affiliation

    You’re unique one of kind

    With a strong conscious mind

    It is our light, not our darkness

    That most frightens us

    Your kindness brings people together

    When things don’t seem to be clear

    Because it’s in your nature

    To love, an emotion

    That feels the heart with joy

    But also great sorrow

    When you lose someone dear making you hollow

    We ask ourselves

    Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

    Stand in front of the mirror

    See the reflection of a conqueror

    One who has won battles of discrimination

    Stood up to oppression

    Sided truth during adversity

    With every fiber of your ability

    Actually, who are you not to be?

    You are a child of God

    You playing small

    Does not serve the world

    It only makes the hateful stronger

    Because they have the power

    To inflict pain

    Cause you took the back seat again

    Which is a shame

    There is no one to blame

    But you, for not standing up when we counted on you

    There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking

    So that other people won’t feel insecure around you

    Your vulnerability is the essence of your humanity

    Having the fear of failure

    Makes you rise higher

    Speak up for those that matter

    That is the strength of your vulnerability

    A strong asset of your personality

    We were all meant to shine as children do

    Full of life and happiness

    Filled with curiosity and bravery

    As well as innocence and creativity

    Being an inspiration to a nation

    Following our emotions

    Cause we were born to make manifest

    The glory of God that is within us

    It’s not just in some of us

    It’s in everyone

    And as we let our own light shine

    We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same

    Because at the end of the day we may be different but we are still the same

    Burning inside with a flame

    To make the world a better place

    At a continued pace

    Together, as we are liberated from our own fear

    Our presences automatically liberates others.

  • Is Your Life Happy and Meaningful

    Music by: AShamaluevMusic

    Music found on Soundcloud: Cinematic Ambient - Inspirational and Emotional Background Music Instrumental (FREE DOWNLOAD)

    The simple philosophies

    Make the mind question our realities

    Affecting our ideology

    Disrupting a well crafted human methodology

    Questions upon questions

    About the simple things like happiness

    Until a scholar decides to add some flair to his craziness

    And ask you about meaningfulness

    He goes, son are you happy

    If so, why do need to indulge in materialistic things to make you happy

    Does it give you satisfaction

    A rare moment of jubilation

    A smile to last you a few seconds

    Until you’re of to something new within seconds

    Does it give meaning to your life

    This new found happiness

    As you share on Facebook to show the world

    Your trending awesomeness

    Is it the likes, the retweets or mentions

    That lift you on a pedestal

    To elevate your emotion

    That’s make you happy

    But really you’re just empty

    Is being happy searching for validation

    In a new generation of interactions

    Chatting, snap chatting

    Gathering momentum virtually

    But you struggling personally

    Is that giving your life meaning

    Or are you another mannequin in the making?

    Putting on a smile, creating a facade

    So ask yourself this question

    Is happiness the same as meaningfulness

    If you were to give up all things material

    Would your life still have meaning

    Standing under a clear sky

    With a slight breeze

    Feeling free no more compromise

    Your counter argument

    To this predicament

    I have family and friends

    To make me happy

    To give me meaning

    They are always there supporting

    Lifting me up when I am drowning

    My life line through thick and thin

    My protective armor on my skin

    There is no disputing

    A life worth living

    Happiness is not the same as a sense of meaning.

    How do we go about finding a meaningful life, not just a happy one

    Is it the warmth of the sun

    Or having all your hearts desires

    This is a cross road

    Its very odd

    In one hand you have everything

    In another nothing

    So what is the real meaning

    Of being happy

    A philosophers riddle

    Which has left right you in the middle.

  • Will I Make It Big?

    Music By: AShamaluevMusic

    Found on Soundcloud: Emotions - Electronic and Cinematic Background Music For Videos & Films (FREE DOWNLOAD)

    Ever sit and wonder

    About life and ponder

    What am doing here

    Watching people do it big

    While seated on the couch, Will I ever make it big

    That’s the dilemma

    Am I in the right career

    1 to 2 shifts, 40 hour weeks

    Sometimes overtime

    All that hard work

    So that we can enjoy societies few perks.

    Growing up you were told

    Go to school get an education

    If you use the right determination

    You will beat the competition

    So you stayed up, studied hard

    Cause that was your golden ticket

    to go abroad

    The best universities

    One step closer to financial securities.

    Has it been worth it

    Let’s weigh the pros and cons of it

    A nice house, a nice car

    Social gatherings and vacations

    deserved for your relentless ambition

    What more can you ask for?

    Let’s see, bills and debt

    For your luxury corvette

    To impress a Brunette

    Maintaining an expensive lifestyle

    Now your a modern day slave not to a human

    But to power, money and the corporate lifestyle

    Now you start to think

    Is this how I want my life to be

    Will I ever be free of this corporate greed

    Or will I have to wait till retirement

    To enjoy my desires and

    Be left with a bit of regret

    I did not take that risk, the chance

    I wish I had a second chance

    That’s not the case, your still on your couch

    Day dreaming of a future with so many

    Unanswered questions

    The truth is, you know the answers to those questions

    But your scared to let go, cause failure is not an option at this stage

    Of your age

    Your happy with what you’ve accomplished

    It’s comfortable and it’s your normal

    Why would you stop now to try something different

    You know it’s difficult

    To start again from scratch

    Invest your cash

    Because you pondered

    And wondered

    Will I ever make it big

  • What is History?

    Music Composed by: AShamaluevMusic

    Calm Inspiration - Inspirational Background Music / Beautiful Cinematic Music (FREE DOWNLOAD)

    What is history?

    Is it the past

    That collects dust,

    In hidden pages of books

    Till ones curiosity is peaked

    To uncover the truth

    Or the interpretation of what they believe to be the truth

    What is history?

    Is it a story

    A recollection of memory

    Of events that happened a few seconds, minutes or hours ago

    To relive moments forgotten

    To bring back joy or sadness from years or days ago

    Or a date on the calendar

    To celebrate an occasion that matters

    Making it important

    So that we feel significant

    What is history?

    Is it facts or fiction

    Based on a man or woman’s recollection

    Of events under observation

    To be scribes for the future generations

    Do we believe the documentations to be right

    Or take it with a grain of salt assuming that men of past saw right

    Do we believe their was no bias

    The words spoken are a true collection of events and not an alliance

    To make a few look powerful while others looks weak

    What is history?

    Is it rules and regulations

    Without which the world would be in chaos

    Already a cause 6 billion years ago

    At least that’s what has been told to maintain order

    So we don’t end up as fossils deep below

    Which the human race follow now without any hesitation

    Politicians quoting Kings and emperors of old, emulating their ambition

    To keep the powerful rich and the poor, poor

    Cause of some laws written sometime in the past

    Which now society follows like a binding contract

    What is history?

    Is it religion

    The stories in scriptures

    Taught by scholars

    Depending on your region

    To believe in a higher power

    That all humans have in common

    But approach it different

    Challenging your belief by questioning your faith

    Cause a scholar said their is only one and the rest are fake

    Said confidentially

    As though it’s a fact that no one can attack

    Leaving us divided but similar

    Cause we are all believers

    So what is History?

    I believe it is what you want it to be

    A story from your memory

    A lesson from the past

    Or rules for the future forecast

    What every you choose it to be

    It will be a portfolio for many to see

    So in a nutshell, I believe history is the essence of life fully lived.

  • Silence

    Music by DSP ft Luis 

    Kuch kamoshi unsuni si (some silence unheard)

    Kuch batein unkahi si (some words unspoken)
    Kuch lameyah beet gaye hai (some moments have passed)
    Kuch waqt tame gaya hai (some time has stopped)

    Ye kaisi ha rahein, chalte hi re na hai (what kind of path is this, i still have walk it)

    Ye kaisi ha batein, kehte hi re na hai (what kind of words, still have to speak them)
    Ye kaisa hai alum, yaado mein dooba hai (what kind of moments, I am stuck in memory)
    ja ne ja tere sung (beloved with you)

    Its me the goody goody master

    oooOo O my love

    thee I adore
    yes! thee my belove

    listen to the rhythem of my heart

    this is gata be the hardest journey to the start

    i had to let go control

    in my prayers I would say
    oooOo lord
    make me whole
    bless ma soul
    Inspire my goals
    where you reside is
    Where I wanna be.

    hoping this song would echo

    tasting goody goody like indian pekoe

    if the past got you questioning

    Gods existence,
    than the devils persistence?

    then I hope your present this christmas would really really come from santa!
