LET SENTENCE REFLECT REPENTANCE
YOU LURED ME DOWN TO HELLS HOT PIT
AND THERE I STAYED FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS
YOU PREACHED THE DEVIL ,
MOCKED MY GOD
YOU BROUGHT ME TO A THOUSAND TEARS.
YOU BELIEVED EVERYTHING YOU DID WAS RIGHT
AS YOU TORE MY SOUL APART EACH NIGHT
MY PAIN BECAME A SOURCE OF YOUR NEEDS
IT POWERED YOU TO WATCH ME BLEED
YOUR HATE ,YOUR EVIL ,
YOUR VULGAR TONGUE
AN ETERNAL GAME .
DESTRUCTION DONE
INFLICTIONS ,WOUNDING ,
TERRORISTIC GORE
YOU ABUSED ME,
USED ME,
TILL YOU COULD NO MORE
YOUR AIM WAS TO DAILY…MENTALLY, BREAK ME
YET NOT FORSAKE ME ,
NO DEATH TO SET ME FREE
YOU DANGLED ME ,
HUNG ME ,
BURNT ME TO THE CORE
YOU BEAT ME
RAPED ME
KEPT COMING BACK FOR MORE
YOU WOULDNT LEAVE ME ,
WOULDNT LET ME …..
ESCAPE YOUR NIGHTMARE WORLD
YOUR LAUGHTER AT MY SUFFERING IN AGONY AS I CURLED
A SCUTTLED SHIVVER
RACING DOWN THE CENTRE OF MY SPINE
CONTINUOUS BOMBARDMENT OF WORDS….
WOULD ALL UNWIND
SLICING LIKE SHARDS OF GLASS IN THE CORNERS OF MY MIND
SHADOWS AND REFLECTIONS OF A HORRIFYING KIND
A PAST THAT HAUNTS THE PRESENT ,
A FUTURE I CAN’T FIND
SLEEP A GIFT TO THOSE WHO CAN
I BEG TO SEE ME THROUGH
YET NO AMOUNT OF TIREDNESS WILL ALLOW ME TO
INFLICTIONS RUN THROUGH VEINS OF PAIN
AFFECTING GENERATIONS,
DRIVEN INSANE
IN THEIR EYES AND ON THEIR MINDS
EMBEDDED, IMPOSSIBLE TO ERASE
NIGHTMARES , INFERNAL , INTERNAL ,
SENSES TRIGGERED IN A BLAZE
THIS DAMNATION
THIS AFFLICTION
OF WHICH THERE IS NO CURE
SURVIVE, STRIVE ,
REASON FOR BEING ALIVE
I MUST ENDURE ,
I MUST IMPLORE,
‘ I AM THAT I AM ‘
NOT BY CHOICE
BUT BY FORCE
NOW IT’S MY TIME
I AM ON MY FREEDOMS COURSE
I HAVE REASON TO SHOUT
I HAVE FULL CAUSE TO COMPLAIN
NO AMOUNT OF SCREAMING WILL BRING MY BABIES BACK AGAIN
NOTHING CAN REMOVE THE EMOTIONAL DAMAGE THAT’S BEEN DONE
THE VISUAL RECOLLECTIONS FROM THE SENSES……I CAN’T RUN
THEY ARE ENGRAVED AND CONTROLLING
MY CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
A MULTITUDE OF MESSED UP PERPERTRATIONS
COUNSELLING LISTS THEM
SO THIS BOOK I HAVE WRITTEN
TO EXPOSE A MYRIAD OF MISTAKES
THAT DID NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN
IF THE SYSTEM WASN’ T FAKE
IF TRUTH AND JUSTICE HAD’VE RULED AND REIGNED UNTO THIS DAY
I WOULDNT HAVE THIS STORY ,
I WOULDNT HAVE TO SAY, THAT
I PRAY MY WORDS RATTLE THE HEADS OF THOSE
WHO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND
HOW FEAR LIVES AND BREATHES
UNDER THE SURFACE IT DEMANDS ,
A CONTROL THAT SHAKES YOUR VERY BONES TO SAND
THIS TAINTED WARPED PERCEPTION ENGRAVED INTO MY SOUL
THE REASONS FOR MY BEING ,
MY GOD WILL MEND ME WHOLE
IT’S CLEAR FOR ME TO SEE NOW ,
I’VE DUG UP AND REVEALED
THE DEVILS WORK FOR YOU TO READ
AND THE FACT… I AM NOT HEALED
I AM THE SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION ,
MANY MINDS I WISH TO FEED
REVENGE FOR ME, COULD BE NO SWEETER
THAN JUSTICE BIRTHED FROM NEED,
NOT GREED
NO REPROCUSSIONS,
SO LET THE VICTIMS SPEAK
LISTEN TO THEIR INNER PAIN,
GIVE STRENGTH TO THE BROKEN AND WEAK
WHAT I SEEK IS A GLOBAL DISCUSSION
WHERE IN THE PAST WE HAVE BEEN FAILED
LET SENTENCE REFLECT REPENTANCE ,
A FITTING TIME TO BE JAILED
ALL PASTS, PRESENT AND FUTURE
SEEK SYSTEMS OF JUSTICE OF TRUTH
FOR THOSE WE HAVE LOST TO THIS GROWING DISEASE
LET’S EDUCATE WITH AWARENESS OUR SUBSEQUENT YOUTH
TAKE A VOW ,
SPEAK OUT NOW ,
FOR ALL THE VOICES THAT HAVE CRIED
TOMORROWS ARE NOT PROMISED ,
SO REMEMBER THOSE WHO’VE DIED
MAKE OUR WORLD A SAFER PLACE
WHERE PEACE AND LOVE WOULD REIGN
LET OUR UNITED VOICE SHAKE THE EARTH
LET OUR WORDS FALL FROM HEAVEN LIKE RAIN
SOAKING AND DISSEMINATING
THE HEARTS AND SOULS AND BRAINS
OF THOSE WHO HAVE THE POWER
TO MAKE THE ALL IMPORTANT CHANGE
