Peace
Peace, a beautiful concept that most hoped for incessantly.
"World Peace"
"Peace be with you."
"Peace, men!"
"Peace Talks"
The beauty queens, the religious, the sarcastics and the governments all have a thing for such ideal.
But for ordinary men, peace is that, just a concept, a substitute for insincere appology even.
Peace means sorry but I am not, so chill and to each his own - a passport to insensitivity.
At least, nowadays, many found to use the word for such, but what is peace, really?

This Love Thing Is All Wrong - Poetry Slam
In the beginning, There was God.
And then God made love. And God saw that it was good.
And then God turned to John Lennon and asked ‘Are you sure this is all we really need, John?’
And John nodded and spoke. ‘It is indeed.’
…… Said no priest ever.
But it is a funny thought isn’t it?
When do you think love was love first created?
Of when and how can probably be debated
I think though
One thing is for sure
Love in it’s essence before this mind of ours,
Was probably a lot more simple and...

Hopping Into 2014
It is but one time of year I can throw this greeting out
as the universe gains another year
so many things I could wish for all:
For those who have felt the heavy hand of nation
that says it loves peace
yet continues to sell weapons globally
I simply echo Lennon words
"but I am not the only one
hope some day you will join us
and the world will live as one"
For those who feel isolated
as if there is no empathy to be found
Sir Paul once told us,
"there is always someone, somewhere
you...

"Lennon-Head"
Dear John
May i call you john?
i cant help feel that the world
is worse off without you.
You dared to imagine while the rest of us
refused to "dream"
like you i never wanted "to be a soldier"
i grew my hair long
puberty allowed me to grow sideburns
i went to spec savers and purchased
a pair of circular gold rim glasses
i got them from you.
Even though i never met you
your influence extends back into my child hood
you tought me guitar
tought me music
tought me how to write songs and lyrics
you...

This Isn’t John Lennon’s Dream
Can you prepare me for what’s coming?
Tell me how it’s gonna be?
‘Cause I’m not sure I can handle it
This societal monstrosity
That creeps and winds its way around
The narrow minded and naïve
And there isn’t a person alive today
That has never been deceived
When it’s bound to books so old
The paper’s now decaying
With ideas so antiquated
They belong in the bindings, fraying
And did you know that someone died?
For being who and what they are
And did you know the words they use?
Will...
