Why
The homeless why do they have to freeze out there on the cold streets?
Why do they need to starve ? Why isn't there more organizes out to help them? The government and others are spending money on things that don't need to be done every human life is important well to me. People turn their backs on them way too quick to judge as well. Don't they know they have feelings too? They hurt and struggle who knows what their stories are. Instead of judging take some time to help or just to listen. How do I know how they feel once upon a time I was homeless for a long time.

What happened to the youth of today?
A lad born the 80's, the first generation
To sit and play the on the Sony Playstation
Fast forward some years and see what's become
Fat kids all around unable to run
What happened to bikes, footballs and craic
Does nobody play out front or the back?
We live in a world where opinions don't matter
It's all PC garbage and you're unable to flatter
I don't see how we shape a world well
When it's easy on a keyboard to say go to hell!
What will become of the next 30 years
Will folk even speak or do people not care? ...

Intimate Conversation
Long walks and innocent talks
the fire in thier eyes felt warm
First time kisses leaping
with secrets held back inside
Silence wrapped her tongue
as white nights turned to run
Long lost lyrics played down under
stolen from artistic walls
momentarily her hesitancy stalled
tell this girl all
In solitude her black dress pled
alone with the solemn sky
Is it now when she should cry?
the fire in thier eyes felt warm
First time kisses leaping
with secrets held back inside
Silence wrapped her tongue
as white nights turned to run
Long lost lyrics played down under
stolen from artistic walls
momentarily her hesitancy stalled
tell this girl all
In solitude her black dress pled
alone with the solemn sky
Is it now when she should cry?

The Truth
The world is losing sight of light.
Now kindness is madness.
Love is selfish.
Caring for others is carelessness.
We ought to fight for humanity or lose unity.
Some argue that there is no essence to excellence in trying because perfection doesn't exist.
You have never been in anybody's shoes to choose. You refuse in haste to taste anybody's food.
You eat alone just to end up stuck up face down lonely.
Solitude is a company but not an actual companion. You find true happiness in caring for others.
I am not asking you to understand.

Stage
Before the drama is over
shall we leave for a simpler place
before the level drops lower
can we learn of our saving grace
a way to apprehend beauty
through this forest thick with duty
there is a world we might attain
we might recover, might regain
there will be no bells set ringing
but still this work it will be done
already the last act begun
and what key the singer...

~In Time~
All the things that we now know and everything that has once been. A time for everyone, and each of us one at a time. Everything has it's place, and there it will always hold it's space.
Mountains have vanished, a once stream is now a mighty river. But still every time a newborn will shiver. Open their eye's for the very first time, the clock is now ticking now they start dying.
The decades blend together so fast we can't see. From ashes to again ashes again we will be.No one can stop, what has no beginning. Older than the sunlight that shines down from above. Floating along like a...

the devil hates women
THE DEVIL HATES WOMEN
He turns to his puppets
and tells them to war
with the being that let Jesus be born
the mother of all living
has to be destroyed
So men of pride and men of religion
sit in conclaves covens and conferences
and plot prisons and condemnation
Let us cover up their beauty from head to foot
and call it holy
let them be beaten raped and cheated
and call it our culture
Pay them less where we can
get them to submit submit submit
Let them be used for sex
and then told to abort ...

shadow of me
Did you see me?
Or was i too late..
Look at my faults
I know ..they look great.
Walks now alone
Even harder to take
try to walk back
I fear I'm too late
Instead I search ground
No shadow around
It must have gone searching
For somebody new
Perhaps it was lonely
Decided to flee
Next time you go walking
And your shadow
Splits in two
Just remember
Even my shadow
Still misses
you
Or was i too late..
Look at my faults
I know ..they look great.
Walks now alone
Even harder to take
try to walk back
I fear I'm too late
Instead I search ground
No shadow around
It must have gone searching
For somebody new
Perhaps it was lonely
Decided to flee
Next time you go walking
And your shadow
Splits in two
Just remember
Even my shadow
Still misses
you

Jungle of Men
Jungle trees dare shyly to part
the tiger, the lion, the kid with a gun
paradox of predatory-prey, setback from the start
white teeth slyly sheen, time crunch; run
thick in the thick of the thicket
cross paths, suddenly a pin drops on a croaking cricket
sweat or condensation? Condescending to cons, born on the humid floor
tears and blood, the work to climb towards the cleaner air
professionals preferred, detainees deterred, opportunity hard knocks out the door
one in one out, two ears and all the life to fill them if they care
trees drip...

What Was and Is.. and Is To Come
Tumbleweed tornadoes
Twist and scour
The landscape
Rattlesnake bites
And blind eyes
See red skies
Of the fallout
Generation
No accumulation
Clouds or ground
A desert damnation
Cicada screams
The only sound
Of swarms
Eating
Everything
Earth covered
Skull
New antiquity
The past revealed
And maybe
What could be
Twist and scour
The landscape
Rattlesnake bites
And blind eyes
See red skies
Of the fallout
Generation
No accumulation
Clouds or ground
A desert damnation
Cicada screams
The only sound
Of swarms
Eating
Everything
Earth covered
Skull
New antiquity
The past revealed

world so cold
living in a world so cold
I shiver at the thought
of what life used to be
my voice freezing
unable to talk
the cold winds blow
I feel like i'm going to shatter
in this world so cold I am so alone
not one person to hear me cry
my tears freeze when they leave my eyes
my blood runs cold as if my heart's covered in ice
I shiver at the thought
of what life used to be
my voice freezing
unable to talk
the cold winds blow
I feel like i'm going to shatter
in this world so cold I am so alone
not one person to hear me cry
my tears freeze when they leave my eyes
my blood runs cold as if my heart's covered in ice
