This Life
DATE: 07 Jan 2009, 11:35 am / MOOD: Other

Urban street kid,working class
blue coller
father heavy handed
ready his anger at the world
to vent well hidden violence
in the family kept
with steady rythem beating
the boys chest his drum
still and all when gone
left nothing but a sad,sad song

Hard times growing up lean
but never mean
news papers folded
a strurdy sole does make
in shoes as the holes apear
dont say a word
mum he knows hasnt the money
she dont need the pain the guilt
just coss there aint no honey
keep praying it dont rain

twelve years old the leason soon learned
labour bought and sold
winter nights cold
a mothers chioce heating or eating
the seat of learning
a world less engaging
tediose and boring
the road was calling
sixteen sleepuing bag rolled
hair to the shoulder
hendrix in my ears
thumb stuck out my ticket
to lifes highways


the boy in the man
still searching for a father erant
old man dying
still searching for the son
left behind

alternative seasonal greatings
DATE: 17 Dec 2007, 8:06 am / MOOD: Other

Why oh why is it we need to set aside
just one day of the year
to show good will
to our brotherkind
are we so unable to spread goodwill
the year round
Why oh why is it
we need to set aside just one
day of the year
to show our love
to our special ones
a gift is only a gift
if given with love
else its just merchandise
bought and sold
can we not give the gift of love
the year round
do i really need to be told
this is the day once a year
to show my humanity
can i not be human
the year round
is it such a strain
to be human the year round
are we so crass
we can only show our feeling
through wealth
is he only the kind of god
you take out and wind up on sundays
can we not be human the year round

question
DATE: 10 Dec 2007, 7:34 am / MOOD: Other

How do you feel at the end of the day
are you pleased with the world you have made
are you pleased with the reflection in the mirror
or is it just a reflection of your greed that you see
so you sold the world
made someone cry
told a lie
made a buck
stole your crown
didnt even cost you a frown
when the road to the top
is paved with the hopes of those you saccrifised
when the seat of your throne
is built on the back of somebody elses dreams
how will you ever know
if the hand reaching out toward you
is the hand of friendship
or a fist to nock you down
how dose it feel
to live a life looking over your shoulder
just to make sure
the man comeing up behind you
isnt a man comeing to steel your crown
if you swim with sharks
there is always someone else with bigger teeth

chance encounter
DATE: 28 Nov 2007, 8:51 am / MOOD: Other

Is it just a chance encounter of the silent kind a moment in time

Is it just a chance encounter of the silent kind

a moment in time

a moment in time to change your life

change your mind

or is it just a moment that passes you by

as in silence you sigh

give out an untold cry

 

A look a glance exchanged

the connection made locked in place

or is just a reflection

a glimmer caught in the corner of your eye

lost in the time

it takes to say goodby

siad by way of the silent reply

 

so sad nothing to say

and you wonder

how many others passed this way

that wished they had taken the chance

to say the words

taken the chance to change there lives

and turn a chance encounter

into the perminent kindis it just a chance encounter

of the silent kind

a moment in time

that changes your life

changes your mind

or is just a moment that passes you by

as in silence you sigh

express the untold cry

 

a look a glance exchanged

the connection made

or is it just a refflection

a glimmer caught in the corner of your eye

lost in the time it takes

to say goodby

spoken by way of the silent reply

 

so sad nothing to say

and you wonder

how many others passed by this way

wished they had taken the chance to say

wish they had taken the chance to change there lives

wish they had taken the chance

to change a chance encounter into the perminent kind

phoenix light
DATE: 29 Oct 2007, 6:28 am / MOOD: Other

im just sitting and thinking
thinking and shrinking
becoming less than i am
yet more than i ever was
you might say this is confusion
just an illusion
a puzzle with know solution
and i say just open the door

as a snake sheds his skin
so i shed the heavy load
sinking deeper,deeper down,
deeper down beyond
only to rise again
phoenix light
lighter than befor
free now free as the sea

i see myself brighter now
in shadows no more
no longer dark
bright as a new day
no longer dark
life on a summers day
its a celebration a confirmation
lighter brighter than befor
new day bright phoenix light
out of day into night

the man in the hat
DATE: 24 Oct 2007, 4:24 am / MOOD: Other

you can have it all said the man in the hat

but if your going to play you will have to pay

even if you run the opposit way

when the man at the gate calls your number

you will have to pay and pay all the way

        ==============

everybodys always trying to be somebody else

the grass is always greener so they say

but green is green

and the somebody else you want to be

just wants to be somebody else

you got to be easy in your own skin

it starts inside out not outside in

    =================

its a mixed up muddled up world

everyones just pushing and shoving

trying to get to where they think they should be

but where you think you should be

is not always the place you really need to be now

and in the end the only thing you really need to know

is when to let go

beware said the man in the hat

the face of gain is a face to cause you much pain

dont waste your life

building a house on straw

to start your journey just open the door

snapshots
DATE: 17 Oct 2007, 7:29 am / MOOD: Other

time,time into circles

circles,circles in time

time moving in constant circles

circles within circles

oceans of time

circling in an ocean of constant thought

expanding minds

expanding minds throughout the universe

many minds

one thought

one thought changing the history of time

one thought changing the cycle of time

one thought changing the futer circle of time

===================================

farewell

= ===============

go softly into the night

tread lightly now into the light

no more need to fuss and fight

pass on peacfully float feather light

rest gently let set your spiret free

let it fly

i will see you again in the eye of time

by and by

=========================================

illusions in time

===============

i turned to the left

saw you standing there

i turned to the right

all i could do was stand and stare

i looked back and saw the futer

i faced foward and saw the past

never took a step

just stood there and watched time passing

time, its just an illusion

a man made illusion

past preseant futer

dosnt excist

just a journey in your mind

a man made illusion to mark his own time passing

tide comes in tide goes out

dont need a clock to tell it when

sun comes up sun goes down

dont need man to tell it when

world goese round and round

without a helping hand

do you really need to know what itme it is

why weve all got time enought to die

tic toc

social suicide
DATE: 09 Oct 2007, 5:47 am / MOOD: Do You Feel Like We Do?

social suicide

the teachers in the hall way
the judge sits in his chambers
the priest neils at his alter
the boy goese down
in a shop doorway
the man sighes replete
all for the price of a needle
what a treate
and the poloticians mouth jus goese round and round and round and round
is it any wonder
children in the street
sow the seeds of there discontent
never careing or nowing the reason why
as we jump from buildings high
ever ready to commit our social suicide
one things for sure
the man in black
someday we all will meet
so why not shake his hand
tell him to take a seate
and say not today brother not today

urban myth
DATE: 25 Sep 2007, 8:14 am / MOOD: Other

you think your a rebel

huh you aint even a devil

you wear a label on your shoe

so you know what tribe you belong to

dont you see it

dont you get it

they own you

they own you

dont matter if its a so called brother on the street

trying to sell you a needle for a treat

dont matter if ite polotics

dont matter if its a fashion lable

dont be so willing

ready and able

to put the meat on there table

they just feed of you

as you buy into the fable

you dont have to buy into there system

you dont have to listen

to there so called wisdom

you got a life dont abuse it

you got a life so use it

USE IT

posotivity

this goes out to all those of you who like me are having a tough time

 

lifes for living

not with feelings of misgiving

dont sit in the corner of it

making nasty schemes

get up and get on it

you got to laugh and sing make a happy sound let it ring

dont be wearing no frown

dont let life drag you down

so what you gonna be

a do somthing mover

or a sit back do nothing loser

theres always a reason why not to

instead find the reason and do

so what you gonna be what you gonna be eh
