Tomorrow? Maybe!

Tomorrow is the start of what we want to be,
tomorrow is the future, tomorrow is the key,
And all that life has shown me, and all I want
to see, is for tomorrow to make a difference,
and that tomorrow may make.................sense!

Getting old!

I saw the stranger, he walked through my house,

I saw him stand and stare, like he knew I was there,

I watched him as he went on his way,

I watched him, like he was here to stay,

And I watched as he realised, that the mirror never lies.

Who knows?

Tomorrow could be, it could, be, what we envisage, what we
want it to be,

Tomorrow can be a replication of today, we can think, we can
be, we can swim or we can sink,

Tomorrow could be unique, find all we want, what we seek,
nothing is out of reach,

Something we can't teach, but,
If we don't understand the process, we get lost, more or less.

Correct!

So you're not rich? got nothing to show
for your life, but what did you sow?

Children who grew to be,
proud for anyone to see,

No monetary life? filled with strife?
Just tenderness and good direction,
Won't be sent to a place of correction!

To be or not to be, that is the question!

What do you think that keeps people here?
The inherent fear?

The wanting to go on?, keep singing their song?

In the face of adversity, who would you be?

Afraid to die?, afraid to live?,

With nothing to give, could you resist?

To end it all, would you be missed?

Is it brave to live through strife?

Continue on and live that life?

Or leave with grace, this empty place,

Tis a question only you can face.

Who cares?

And all that it is and all it could be, is a memory,
A dream that exists then ceases to be,

There is no beginning, there is no end, for tomorrow
you'll be my best friend,

Then we start again, lose that memory, think it's all
new and wonderfully free,

Creativity being, all new what we're seeing, still afraid
and unaware, not knowing it doesn't matter, no need
to care!

Just don't!

Secret intelligence from the survelliance "mast",
shows life cant continue,
it's growing too fast, ozone layers, emissions from cars,
carbon footprints, it just can't last,

The earth is heating up all too soon, the ice cap
is melting, it's not even June,

What did we do to cause this disaster?, are we the reason
it will be over faster?

The only way (they say) to save this planet, reduce emission,
ask for permission, don't take it to heart, you JUST can't
FART!

Who Knew?

Who decides?, who hides?, who becomes the leader?. Who becomes the feeder?
Who creates the fear?, Someone near?,

Who knew?, not me or you?, who knew?

Who knew that we'd be here?, who knew?, who shed a tear?



No one knew, this lasts for eternity, never ends, so lets be friends.

I Really don't !

I really don't like the way you think, I really don't like your granite sink,
I really don't like your taste in food, I really don't like your precious mood,

I really don't like what you say, I really don't like everyone else must pay,
I really don't like that it is true,
I really don't want to be like you.

Older and wiser?

We grow old, we get wise,
But still we join those who dies,
We give direction to the young,
don't sing a song so well sung,
But if they agreed and followed suit,
in the end we'd all be mute,
For nothing would change, nothing be new,
not for me or not for you.
