Voice
Your voice can make a difference
Your voice could change the world
Can my voice be someone else's
Cause I don't want to be heard
Can my voice be a text post
On a site that none reads
I can write the poem
But I won't stand up and speak
Can my voice be a gesture
Can a murmur change the world
Cause I wish for none
To hear me say words
I could change my voice

Option 3
Am I ready for the things I acquire ?
Used to mediocre things
Not having enough money to buy what I need
My goal has always been the finer things
Wearing what I want, living where I want
It seems small but those are big to me
I don’t live above my means
Watched people go down that road
It’s not a pretty scene
I’m scared about what I would do when I acquire what ...

The sum of all we truly are
The backbone of this giving Isle
from marshy fen to firth of forth,
has soured the face of many a smile
beneath the crown that ventured north.
Then Westward too, the Kingdom torn
across a Wilding Sea,
its Children poor, to paupers born
that bore the likes of you and me.
With baubles traded, power for land
The Lords abused their folk the same,
to sit opp...

Omens and Homage (Ignorance, Manipulation, Control, Domination)
To see a world in a coffee cup
and a hell inside a TV screen,
then still to rise and take a sup
and blink away the horror seen.
A memory flashed upon a mind
staunched by bitter pill,
to make a man and mankind blind
cannot the memory kill.
The slave fed by his master’s hand
is starved and saved the same,
he lives upon a lesser land
with no choice but ...

The Winds Of Change
I’ve never liked the winds of change
they bring the cold and driving rain,
destroying what was calm and warm
and leaving nothing but the storm.
They make me have to rise and flee
to higher ground for my safety.
Then when they’re done I’m left again
to find new space I can fit in.
And oh the work, it brings me down
exhausted, humbled to the ground.
Yet in the...

One Change
I wish I could teach the world one simple thing,
then pray that they grasp it and start following.
Because it would change every outcome to be,
dispel all the darkness and set the soul free.
‘Twould make everything we do under the sun
a pure joy to do just because of this one
simple change that has nothing to do with the things
that we spend our time doing,...

Walk Away
I wonder.
I wonder.
I wonder why it goes.
I deny it,
try to fight it
against the way it flows.
I ignore it,
I deplore it,
try to push it far away.
But I fear it,
I'm too near it
and it haunts me every day.
For circling in the skies are things
I wish I could disguise,
that melt to crystal teardrops
and it makes me realize -
that I’m p...

Change
Change is the most natural part of life
The summer cannot last forever
I have learned simply to never say never
I change my mind
Perspectives and feelings move with time
Nothing is certain
Before you know it, it is Autumn
and your leaves are turning into shades of gold
To begin something new you must let go of the old
It is okay to fall
Winter may be harder and it wi...
