THE POT BELLY BARD - I AM A PHASE IN YOUR LIFE

How could i not fall for you?

You are a beautiful soul

Though bodies prettier than you have met these eyes

I am but a phase in your life.

I'm not the first chap you've befriended

Nor the last you will caress and hold tight

But in this moment, these fingers are the ones you have locked

Too bad, i'm only a phase in your life.

You've shared your dark secrets

Tales so deep that our eyes couldn't blink

This burden shall be mine and be buried with me

 Like your mascara for the night,  i'm just a phase in your life.

Now we sit next to each other

You brood over the sunset and life, while i on you

Certain you seem of an unpredictable future

While i'll be your history, just a phase in your life

Years from now, destiny shall pit us against each other

A time when age has grasped your face, and wisdom mine

"Do you know her, oh wandering monk?" a Bard shall ask

Not anymore, shall i sigh; I was just a phase in her life.

THE POET BELLY BARD - SOMEBODY WAKE UP THE BARD

It's 60+ years of Independence

The freedom fighters have long gone

For the problems have replaced our anthem, that is now just a song

Somebody wake up the Bard

Our sister has been raped

My friend molested and young daughter pregnant

My wife hasn't returned home yet

Somebody wake up the Bard

Onions have replaced gold

Whistleblowers silenced and corruption knocking on our door

Nights spent around candles and in tears

Somebody wake up the Bard

The news anchors are screaming

Colors have replaced truth in the papers

You, me and the random citizen is confused

Somebody wake up the Bard

We need words that move nations

Passions stirred and emotions flowing

For the youth, child, old and the unborn to be marching

Somebody wake up the Bard
