NOTE: This is the first Dhivehi Spokenword-HipHop-AaLhen'ish writing that I have written. This is the original one I wrote and performed at Akurufoshi Presents: Spoken Word Poetry 3 event. The one I performed at the event is slightly different as I changed some words as I went on performing. I will post here the performance video as soon as it is posted online by the KHF team.

Justify, life. Justify.

Brought up caged

Oblivious to the world around

Mocked, bullied, humiliated

By those deemed best of friends

All grown up and free

Or so was thought

Mocked, bullied, humiliated

Still afraid, like the kid once was

Fear of the childhood that once was

Fear, the only emotion that remained

Emotions, a mask that hides truth

A lie that takes a life to learn

Fate, what shall be

Justify, life. Justify.

Web Ov Deceit

~ a writing for; Hope In Curses series

Fall for love that is now.
Impressed by the bannerman's sycophancy,
walk yourself into the charming web ov deceit.
Come tomorrow will you realize,
now was not forever.
Forever was here by my side.

ONE FINGER REBELLION

Jevo glaesoti rȳ buzdari istiat

Blinded by faith

in colors you trust

Order of the eighth

destroy we must

See your wraith

burn tomes of just

Rise! Oh Youth

Rise! And Rebel

One Finger Rebellion

NOW OR NEVER

Kesȳ tubī jemot dāervi tepan

“Missing someone, they say, is self-centered. I self-center you more than ever.” 
Saša Stanišić

Down in the realm of destiny
One survives and another dies
Minorities divided by those they chose
Friends to call and hold close
Those lucky enough though did
Choose friends like you
Managed to hold them by
Never did they let go down that path
Those stupids mistakes I once made
Those crazy things I said
For those now I suffer
The emptiness of the friend I chose
The regret that kills me now
Of hurting the friend in you
The pain I deserve
For the pain I bequeath you
It all seems justified
Realizing how much you mean to me...

A PERFECT IMPERFECTION; FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a guy and you're happy now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess he gave you things I didn't give to you

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
I was the one, I was for ever...

Note: This is an edited version of the lyrics for the song 'Someone Like You' by Adele. I dedicate this edited version to a simple girl I used to know. That girl that I still think about everyday. #MySimpleGirl.

I AM SMILING - YOU'RE NOT THE REASON

At last, I’ve got a smile on my broken face
Yes! I’m still keeping pace
There was a time when I used to think
With you gone, alone I’d sink
Left alone, for love I did weep
Then I realized I’m no dweep

Woken up from a false sleep
I’m now taking this leap
What’s gone is gone
What we had – you had it torn
Turn around, go on – I’ve found another reason
I am smiling – You’re not the reason

Since You Got Bored

Lost for words,
Speechless, broken inside,
Smiling, to hide oceans of tears,
Wounds of lost love,
Carved deep, deep inside me,
I've tried to build a wall -
Wall of plastic smiles around me
Tell myself you are gone...

and alas, I have done.

For Your Smile...

So many things to say....
So many I couldn't think of a way...
So many times before May...
So close in your arms I want to lay....
So close but so far today....
So many things to say....
And yet seeing you smile, silent I shall stay...

Media?

The world has come to this
Baloney dominates headlines
Big Cheese's farts become the bee's knees
Every night on TV, its the same bimbo and useless stories
Tales of another dame's botox implants

Meanwhile in Africa, another thousand dies of hunger
Deep down in the debris of Gaza
A widowed mother cries for her martyred baby
The streets of Manzoorabad are stained by the blood
Cries of a little girl who did not deserve to be gang raped

That Tall Kid's Story

Useless fat, unwanted shit
Seven Threes, pronounced unfit
Memories, how he got hit
Revenge, the only light lit
Waiting, for his eternal pit
Wait, he's gone to a fit
LOL, Who cares about it?

Boxed Up

So far no matter how close
Moments I am left with alone
Yearning to be in your arms
Feel like the man I used to be

Says my lonely heart
Live, Oh Live a bit
Then I smile, hoping it would last
The smile fades, reality invades

I have tried, I have failed,
I cannot live apart anymore
If only did oceans never keep us away
Would life be so full of love that is dreamed of

So far no matter how close
Yearning to be in your arms

The Terrorist!

Forced existence
Forged identity
Faced this newborn baby
Fate fucked up, baptized in bullets

Shaken, had this angel a mother
Sorrow of a husband just lost
Sujood he was at in depths of Gaza
Suckers! They bombed the Holy Masjid

Fifteen years later
Fourteen bullet wounds deeper
Fiery of a murdered father
Forth he came, armor in hand

Revenge he seeks
Realm of equals he had built
Rolled against his heart a photo
Raised his will his martyred mother

Today, a "Terrorist" is born...

ACCIDENTALLY IN FRIENDSHIP...

I've seen the end, I've drawn the line,
I will forever be yours, the eternal second in line....

FRIENDSHIP MISPORTRAYED!!!

Mist of sweet life; may portray otherwise
Yet close we are; bound in friendship's love
Hide we may; our tears of sorrow
But not ever do we; hide what swelled up those tears
Misunderstand may they; the ones who care
What they see need not be; what we know

LONGING TO BELONG... [incomplete]

Sleepless nights, endless tears
I long to belong
Words unsaid, dreams do fade
Yet I'm still, holding on

Outcast, blacksheep
Disgrace to my kin
Falling down, crushed to pieces
I'm still alive, I'll carry on

BLOOD BLOSSOMS

Fevered fetish; thou hast reached the end of the line,

Guilty thou art; for the sins of thine

Justice; the pleasure finally mine

Come close – celebrate; drink this wine

SILENT SCREAMS

Mistrust; the final district

Law, nor order found strict

Bloodshed – Rampage of crime

Innocent souls fell dead for a single dime

Mercy be thy lord’s

Foreseen – from the holy words

Dawn of a perfect day in his dreams

A boy cries silent screams

BLOODBATH

The silent bloodbath

Slaughter of a thousand souls

An unheard massacre

Lies deep in the veins of your stained hands

Rivers of dried blood

From the battles you fought

Dreams of a forgotten past

Haunting every moment of an innocent life

SLITHER

You

You are the serpent

Slither slowly into my life

You

You are the mistress

Queen of my sweet nightmares

You

You are the reason

The reason I try to carry on

Take me by my hand

Lead my way; to the dreamer’s land

Take me by my hand

Show me another dream – free me from this anguish

Free me from this world

Let me taste the scrumptious fruits of heaven

Come into my arms – embrace me in an eternal spell

Speak the language of the serpent

Impress me with your sycophancy

Come close – hold me tight

Sing me thou divine lullaby

Let me rest in thy arms

Close my eyes – Love me the way you do
