Snow in the Desert sejak Contestant Number 1
The girl sat cross-legged
Among The swirling sand
Thinking of winters
And a thing called snow
Covering The ground in a pure white blanket
Eyes closed she reached out
Half expecting to feel a numbing cold
But was scorched sejak the sand
She opened her eyes
Letting in the glare of the midday sun
And resumed weaving a basket
For those in the west
Who would never know her name
With her sore, raw hands
Under the burning sun
But her mind stayed in winter
Always in Winter
One Of Them sejak Contestant Number 2
Beating hands
and floating tears,
Summed up sejak a thousand fears.
Say what anda want,
but we aren’t free,
and we dream that one hari we can flee.
They are laughing
while we are crying,
and our little world is slowly dying.
Every day
and every night,
promise me that anda won’t fight.
Do anda Know This Face sejak Contestant Number 3
I just need one moment, can anda spare it?
She’s been missing for six weeks.
Please, just tell me, I can’t bare it,
are anda familiar with these cheeks?
these eyes? this mouth? this nose? this face—
anda say you’ve seen this weathered child
in some black and rancid place?
in dreams? in songs? in cities wild?
She is your daughter, claimed sejak the streets?
Your mother, Lost to the viral lesion?
Your sister, raped in bloody sheets?
Your lover, beaten for false treason?
anda tell me that anda know this face,
and that you’ve seen her everywhere.
Do anda know the human race?
The race that’s won sejak those who wear
the weaker ones into the ground
and sejak the grace of their despair
the lucky ones are never found.
They evaporate into the air.
Between these dissonant rhyming cords
do anda see the face of a Brave girl?
And do anda hear the roaring hoards
rising up against the violent world
and screaming loud, with one accord
that they will not take it.
Not anymore.
He Cheats And She Feels It sejak Contestant Number 4
anda used to be all she talked about,
now your all she cries about.
anda used to be the one,
until anda got lost
With your charming, cheating fun.
She would get anxious when anda came around,
Now she can't even look at you.
She was so strong,
until anda broke her down.
Your self-pity
Your unawareness of her feelings
Your carelessness
Your cluelessness
Your anger
Your cheating
The animal you've become
Has hurt her
Has damaged her
Has broken her
Has shut her down
Has killed her.
She's holding on sejak a string
She's still strong enough
To walk strong against the anguish rain.
The rain is the hurt
Its the tears
Its the stress and the pain
The scars and wounds
The sickness and the cold
That anda showered upon her.
That anda put her through.
That anda made her suffer through,
because of your selfish pity.
Have anda recovered from your blindness now?
Libertas sejak Contestant Number 5
What would anda do if anda were free?
If anda were free, who would anda be?
Now, tell me friend, where would anda go,
And everyone you'd like to know?
If only anda were free?
If I were free I would do,
Everything I wanted to.
I'd take long walks along the beach,
atau lie in katil with all in reach.
If I were free, that's what I would do!
If I were free, I would be;
Me and only me!
How else would I live my life?
As anyway else would give me strife.
If I were free, that's who I'd be!
If I were free, I would go,
The furthest that anyone can know!
America, Spain, Timbuktu,
I'd even go to Australia Zoo.
If I were free, that's where I'd go!
If I were free, I'd like to know,
Everyone I do not know!
I'd Cinta the good, but the bad
They drive me crazy, make me mad.
If I were free, that's who I'd like to know!
As I am free I wish I can,
Free every woman, every man!
For every girl and every boy
I'd give them every single toy.
And let everyone do whatever they can!

You're rushed to the hospital.

but it wasn't enough.
In the end anda lost.
