EMANCIPATED written by Sheldon Manoo (28/07/22)

So much I contemplated

In this world where I'm related

Time seems outdated

I need to be emancipated


The chain around my mind

Is so hard to find

20/20 vision blind

No one brailed the sign


Free me from my freedom

From idiotic wisdom

Free me from my freedom

Key me to the Kingdom


We are inundated

With love that feels hated

How long we have waited

To be emancipated


The chain around my soul

Make me lose control

Exiled in a world

Spirits grabbing hold


Free me from my freedom

From idiotic wisdom

Free me from my freedom

Key me to the Kingdom

XORD written by ^, *; 2051

Maybe we just can't make good music anymore
Maybe they just can't take good music to the core
The passion, the study the thought behind the art
Maybe music lovers lost their soul and heart
Maybe of the new
Their generation too
Would cast away
For what's in that day

Maybe one note will be the loop
Maybe one word will be the lyrics
Maybe one second will be the length
Who knows what will be music?

There will be some who will defy
Popularity won't be high
Might be a hero to one
Like how it is right now

Never thought I'd be alive to see
Great artist gone into obscurity
For those of us who stood and fight
Never got to see good sense come to light

Now the interconnectivity
Depends on an unreliable entity
And the music that could cure
Won't be played on the airwaves anymore

Cause when you discover your own musical hero
You still can't afford to see their show
And they can't afford the avenue
To make it palatable to you

Well if this was the future someone might be amazed
But the ones with the crypto currency to pay
Will say too much words and is that a chord
Let's make a star of that artist who did "Xord'
Imagine he say the title three times
In one second man that's "Blowmind";

PROPENSITY written by Sheldon Manoo (16.07.22)

We have lost so many dear souls in recent times
Which should give us the propensity to gain compassion
In retrospect when we introspect in our minds
What is the output of our rationalisation ?
Were we created?
Have we evolved?
If we evolved , then from who's creation?
Answers that brings more questions
Questions that prompt suggestions
Are our minds apt for these lessons?
Or is remission our progression?
We love
We hate 
We trust
We deceive 
We fear doubt
We accept fate
Of our potential
We deliberate and debate
We wonder why the one with the propensity to do fair and reasonable acts are never the ones with the billions of dollars at their disposal
We fail to see that the individual has become the gods of destiny and visually, orally we are disconnected even with more technology as our arsenal
Which becomes weapons of mass confusion in our own hands
Insensitive and callous frigid vibes permeate the lands
Some have learnt the secret and they have told
The same secret from the days of old
But our propensity to accept false as fact
Is the catalyst to seek wisdom as to how to react
In every situation that we face
The worst and best in this human race
The real winners
Might be the perceived losers
Free will choice
To heed which ever voice
That calls to home
Each soul that roam
The propensity to accept or deny
That One sacrificed to redeem mankind .
