Poem

Who is real in a world of unreal, who is true in a world of untrue,
Who is right in a world of deception, who are you?
What makes you right?, what makes me right?, Don’t condemn
Because you can’t, don’t play the part, of judge and jury,
Don’t profess your innocence, don’t decide what’s right
Or wrong, don’t be a hypocrite don’t stand on your ideals,
Because it’s right from where you sit, don’t be what you
Don’t want to see, don’t join the company of hypocrisy
Think more and speak less, and allow life to be, then you
Will find yourself in the company of what was meant to be.

Can you be?

Is the honesty of what could be a painful reminder of what you see?
Is the truth of life to hard to bear? Can you be what you want to be?
Is the way forward easier, for you to see, never looking back, never
being there, being you and taking care, and tomorrow is a new day,
Don't see it different, don't see a way, it's there, it's here, come
what may.

Who?

Who becomes you when you cant be?
Who becomes the order of your destiny?
Who were you when you were you?

What changed, what made you be,
the you thats now, someone took control,
left you isolated and all alone,

And life became, what you are,
and now you wish upon a star,
and you cry a tear, for what could have been,

But you let it fall apart, ended up
with a broken heart!

LIVING IT UP

If I am the ‘me’
that decides what I see
and thus am an ‘I’ not a ‘we’
why do I hear so many ‘I’s
proclaiming themselves to be ‘we’?

i.e.,
“we are all equal
we must be free
we should be saving
the world…”

I don’t recall
my consent to agree
that the ‘I’ known as ‘me’
be sandwiched between
their ‘I’ and my ‘me’

The ‘me’ that I own
is my own by decree
As my true wannabee
I inhabit quite free
my own nutty tree!

Just enjoy the ride!

I have seen tomorrow, I know, how it will go, firstly it ends, all will cease to exist, in the blink of an eye, this world will die, then a new creation, a whole new population, starts anew, from Jurassic world to space exploration, we failed in our bid, we lost our formation, we will have reached the end very soon my friend, just as in times gone by, civilisations thrive then die, we were never meant to be,,,,,here,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,indefinitely.

Lesson 1

Why does nothing change? You know this and I know that, I'm right and
you are wrong, who's bigger?, who's more strong?, Who wants control?,
noone can let it be, noone can see, it does not matter, but its up to you,
and its up to me, to let it be, for there are no winners in this play, this is
where you will stay, until you know just who you are, where you can go, and just how
far, here endeth the lesson, tomorrow we can begin again.

No way back?

Flowers and trees, birds and bees these I know, but.....
snow, on a summers day, this I don't know, what I see,
is an anomaly, mother nature running free?, natural change?
we can't rearrange or self design, have we crossed the line?

Question?

Imagine if I was you, what would I see? what would I do?. Imagine if you were me?, what would you see? What would you do? Now, knowing we are free, to be what we want to be? Not lost in captivity, you being me, and I being you, what do you think we should do?, ??????

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.

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!
