A NEED TO BE HEARTLESS

A NEED TO BE HEARTLESS.

After my discovery in the third planet to the earth

Then I began to see things unusual

And many thoughts troubled my heart

And those things that are hidden become visual.

It was then I knew that there is a need to be heartless

Because there is one enemy you cannot overcome

And that will make you to be fearless

Like the pursue of bald-eagle in the compound

When all the tenants are around.

Human being tends to be warm-hearted

But the badass experience of life

Will make one to be non-compos-mentis

And that will make you to be cold –hearted

And your behavior will now be non-conformist.

There is a need to be aware of the fact

That those who claim to live by the truth of the past

Live in danger and die without the trail of a murderer

But those who discharge their responsibilities in lie and deceit

Live longer and are accepted by all and sundry.

My heart has groan in pain like the horning of the rail

And now mature enough to adapt to the dictate of the way

Where forgiveness is a sin and mercy is a taboo

And those who are fools before are now wise

Those who at peace before fight

All in the name of a need to be heartless.
