Rages to Riches

Rages to riches is not a cake walk.
To retain the slipping walks
sucks the sweat and blood.
But, it nurtures the spirit
by whirling all around
“Only hard work pays”,

In search of fate
the passionate walk
needs humble beginnings
to shine in sky.

The house built on faith
won’t get tremble,
for gossips all around.
Only the one finds
epic fail, whose
roots watered in Nepotism.

Too many pens and
so many bees fall short of
narrating the lives
that reaches the sky.
 
Every rage to riches wouldn’t
find place in history.
Only few curves the niche
to read, to speak and to praise.

If money's the root cause of all evil

It's no wonder what you preach is unbelievable 

If God gave a shit about you and I

Then why the hell did he leave us all here to die?

If freedom's now a privilege,  not a right

Then why the fuck are you telling me how to live my life?

Could it be that we're all forsaken?

Could it be that Christ was mistaken?

Cause it seems that we've been forsaken all along (chorus)

If you are able to change the whole world

Then what the fuck are you crying like a baby for?

Could it be that we're all forsaken?

Could it be that Christ was mistaken?

Cause it seems that we've been forsaken all along

The holy ghost has forsaken you/  has forsaken me/ has forsaken us

Could it be that we're all forsaken?

Could it be that Christ was mistaken?

Cause it seems that we've been forsaken all along

11-26-22

Are you ready for it?

I shouldn’t have to ask you that question after all that you have done.

It would’ve been rude of me not to give you a heads-up like this.

Your reign of terror is steps closer to its endgame.

If I do not draw my sword and face the ghosts of my past, checkmate is guaranteed.

I did something bad long ago, but can you blame me?

I’m just a human being that made a mistake because I was not in the right mind.

Anguish and love do not mix because both made my life worse before.

If you respect that my situation is delicate, why do you keep poking the hornet nest?

If you crack it open and the wasps sting you so much their poison burns,

don’t be surprised if I say, “Look what you made me do.”

Your empathy is lacking so why should I care if you are put to rest the next day?

Princes don’t negotiate with paupers like me.

So it goes because fame and violence are always placed above justice and peace.

Isn’t it gorgeous to be the one in control? To run a country or a sect without a care in the world?

Doesn’t it feel amazing when your subjects obey you unconditionally as if you are an almighty god?

These questions reveal to me that aristocrats and celebrities use their authority

for insolence and seduction. No wonder we can’t have nice things.

You are not entitled to my throne even though a liar was the king of my heart before.

What was “yes” today could be “no” tomorrow so I keep fewer promises.

I’ve heard enough empty platitudes from your devotees to realize that an oath is not to be made lightly.

Anything else you want to preach about before I take the getaway car to escape additional agony?

Go ahead and dress your possessive wiles by telling me you love me

And shower me with material goods to let my guard down against my better judgment.

But when you try to use your tenderness as leverage, it is all the more reason for me to leave.

The longer I stay here, the more certain it is that my life is in danger.

My hands are tied keeping the darkness around me at bay for as long as I can.

Fortune is never on my side when I dance, but my sword will always be my partner.

Call it what you want, but the battlefield is my ballroom.

If dancing alone is the only way I can retain my individuality, so be it.

Happy Raʼs as-Sanah al-Hijrīyah, Vlad Dracula.

I’ll see you in Hell.
