Digital Warrior
Animosity expels the risk but
Tormented dreams of exposure keeps the fire alive.
Amongst the shadows, camouflaged by the dark you
Stalk the evil and reveal the truth.
Revelling in the secrets and exposing what they thought was safely hidden,
You are a righteous digital warrior of the night.
Information is power, so let's give it to the people!

A New Beginning
A new year must first start with an old.
The end of the previous a time for reflection and a look at what the new will hold.
The new a fresh beginning with your slate wiped clean.
With anything possible, all you have to do is dream.
If the previous was not what your heart so desired,
Take note of the errors, move forward and search to be inspired.
As you step into the new don’t look back and show no fear.
For your future is your making and it will be a fantastic new year.

Fearsome Love
Floating, happily in the deepest sea.
Fighting and winning against the setting sun.
Loving so truly and deeply, forever free.
With a flower, disarming the most fearsome gun.

Storytelling Streets
I'm now not too sure where I should be going
Nor am I completely sure where I have just been
As I stroll on through these storytelling streets
Of the city whose long life can clearly be seen
Alive and well, vibrant and confrontational
The walls come to life with stories of their past
Asking you to listen, and hoping that you'll see
The beauty of its art so far amassed
As they take my mind off my worries,
My concerns of where this road will soon lead
I feel happy and somewhat content about my future
This urban...

Fields of Green
I dreamed a dream of fields of green,
As far as the eye had ever seen.
I dreamed a dream of the world as one team,
One democracy glowing under the suns warming beams.
I dreamed a dream of no regime,
Of love and peace, the earth's grand scheme.
I day dreamed a dream that was too extreme,
One that I always knew would remain a pipe dream.
As far as the eye had ever seen.
I dreamed a dream of the world as one team,
One democracy glowing under the suns warming beams.
I dreamed a dream of no regime,
Of love and peace, the earth's grand scheme.
I day dreamed a dream that was too extreme,
One that I always knew would remain a pipe dream.

Hopes & Dreams
Whilst searching for your hopes and dreams,
You come upon them in your dreams.
Hiding away beneath the surface in the crevasses of your mind.
You wonder through the sleeping forest, fingers crossed you will find,
Find your hopes and dreams of love and happiness, the answer to your being.
The purpose and meaning to your hopes and dreams and this beautiful world you are seeing.
You come upon them in your dreams.
Hiding away beneath the surface in the crevasses of your mind.
You wonder through the sleeping forest, fingers crossed you will find,
Find your hopes and dreams of love and happiness, the answer to your being.
The purpose and meaning to your hopes and dreams and this beautiful world you are seeing.

You, Myself & Me
My arsenal of weapons, my treasure trove of self-loath
My timing being almost comical, my time machine no more
My impressive sense of worthiness, my bowl of ego soup
My shackles bound too tightly, my blood begins to rot
My eyes just can't recognize, my blood now begins to clot
My gaze almost now a stare, my rapid unceasing tapping
Your disturbing references, your context too obscure
Your passing looks and passive poems
Your expensive, pristine, pointless pedicure
Your you, myself and me
Your slinky walking effortlessly down...
My timing being almost comical, my time machine no more
My impressive sense of worthiness, my bowl of ego soup
My shackles bound too tightly, my blood begins to rot
My eyes just can't recognize, my blood now begins to clot
My gaze almost now a stare, my rapid unceasing tapping
Your disturbing references, your context too obscure
Your passing looks and passive poems
Your expensive, pristine, pointless pedicure
Your you, myself and me
Your slinky walking effortlessly down...

Believe
Share what you believe, tell all your dreams.
Show your emotions, tear the seams.
Listen to your feelings, act upon what they say.
Open up to the world, you’ll definitely be okay.
Stand tall my friend, smile and shine bright.
Keep your head up high, even when darkness is in sight.
Fight for you rights, stick it to the man.
Speak your truth, if you want it you can.
Believe in your words, believe in a brighter day.
Believe it can be better than now, believe they’ll put war away.
Keep spreading the word, one day soon they’ll...

The Cat on the Platform
Funny feelings give me reasons why I should reconsider.
Reconsider letting her go when a farewell I did bid her.
Bid her goodbye I did, off her train went and then a cat did purr.
Did purr the cat did, funny feelings I did get and that’s why I should reconsider.
Reconsider letting her go when a farewell I did bid her.
Bid her goodbye I did, off her train went and then a cat did purr.
Did purr the cat did, funny feelings I did get and that’s why I should reconsider.

Infernal Regions
In the belly of the beast where the unsettled emotions lie
Where torment will not cease and sorrow will make you cry
A place not to venture if you ever do want to at some point leave
Away you should now roam from the perpetual, harrowing grief
In the brain of the brute where persecution will see you die
Where the punishment will be so acute as to see your sanity fly
A village of pure vengeance, I am now solemnly decreeing
A being with any sense would not want to wind up there being
Where torment will not cease and sorrow will make you cry
A place not to venture if you ever do want to at some point leave
Away you should now roam from the perpetual, harrowing grief
In the brain of the brute where persecution will see you die
Where the punishment will be so acute as to see your sanity fly
A village of pure vengeance, I am now solemnly decreeing
A being with any sense would not want to wind up there being

Monica
Monica with the face of an angel, born into this world a nonstarter.
Owing this fact to her pharmaceutical fiend of a mother and duty dodging father.
No one to comfort her and nowhere for her to go.
Alone on this earth, destined only for Desolation Row.
Easy prey for procurers and knowing only pain,
This forlorn female now heads off for Ruination Lane.
Owing this fact to her pharmaceutical fiend of a mother and duty dodging father.
No one to comfort her and nowhere for her to go.
Alone on this earth, destined only for Desolation Row.
Easy prey for procurers and knowing only pain,
This forlorn female now heads off for Ruination Lane.

Orphan Son
Orphan Son,
Felon on the run,
Daddy’s dead, your momma’s gone.
Orphan Son,
Felon with a gun,
Product of the system, you’re nearly done.
Orphan Son,
Felon having fun,
Faultless child, conscience none.
Felon on the run,
Daddy’s dead, your momma’s gone.
Orphan Son,
Felon with a gun,
Product of the system, you’re nearly done.
Orphan Son,
Felon having fun,
Faultless child, conscience none.
