let me write on my page 
yes I chose to 
if not who will write for me 
is it those that are my friends
what will they say 
is it my siblings 
what will they write 
is it my relatives
I wonder what they 
will bleed 
is it my unborn kids 
I wish they fare me well 
is it my wife 
who will write it like me 

empty page 
let me write on my page 
cos life need my pen 
it bleed yes it bleed 
it shadows are in what 
it souls 
cos God inspiration is divine
no wonder I don't chose violence
in an atmosphere of destruction
I prefer poetry 
I chose to relate with nature 
pouring out my soul
instead of depression
communicating with God
in my own way 
meditating on the better picture
of reality 
so I could write words 
of wisdom along with my 
story on my life

let me write on my page
cos only me can
write it better
others can help 
but am the owner of my own destiny
I was once told by fox
unspeakable events are no 
more a news in my home 
too many kids are living
with out suffering
our parents are hungry
dieing in with various illness
and grieves
our economy remains
devalued
to no sooner growth 
so far survival
is difficult yet we are 
still living
but living in a brutal world 
I wonder what story 
I will afford to write 
on this
