about

inspired by
the massive loathe
I have against
**********************the UBER******************************************
this song displays what I saw while working as Uber driver for two years and during pandemic of 2020.
Lyrics are written one line and one day at a time ,
paying gratitude to Haiku <3

lyrics

world you are cruel
earth is so beautiful now
burning in a volcano

hole of solitude
distance between love and hate
breathe in all the dust

as the sun shines bright
so does fire of the guns

no more water within
dry as humor of mankind
nature playing jokes on me now

stars all align today
where can I find you now
we walk under a spell
...

today and after
as life attacks us like a capitalist monster,
our feet stuck and growing in mud

does it hurt to lose
we ask ourselves twice
immigrant cries everyday

no thrive drive is this, no
no thrive drive is this
fat and grease from different grills
all-star cheer violation

I heard the devil today
he said another farewell
he said I am still eating you
shepherd raised his hands
disconnecting self from trauma
of past lives
on and on
it bleeds through
...

stars all align today
where can I find you now
we walk under a spell

we walk alone today
stars all align today
where can I find you now
we walk alone, under a spell
