"When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change."


My tears shed-
Across the Red Sea-
They freeze to my face-
And drag me under-
Had my aspirations-
Been too high?
They should've gone.

The dream was in Pandora-
They say.
The Gods are to be cursed-
Until my end,
Arrive, they shall see
What desirable aspirations-
Have awaited for me.

Allure them to their death-
Truthfully it's happened twice-
Possibly fifth, fourth or thrice-
What would know such device?

Smother my soul in smoke-
But let Holy Spirit remain-
I speak for those-
Tied in the minerals-
Who live without a name.
