Garden of reason

In your garden is where I grow,

 

Under the willow is where I go,

 

Wait for the sun is all that I know,

 

Thanks to the love infused seeds that you sow. 

 

Within your garden of reason,

 

I found my freedom, 

 

Found strength to withstand the force of any season,

 

Found meaning,

 

A spring in my step which is slowly reveling,

 

Colours of blo...

Lonely Thoughts

I grow older and envious of youth,

 

I have made myself fearful of truth,

 

A chip off the old block,

 

A chip out of the same tooth,

 

What's the use of denying the elephant on the roof. 

 

Can a man change his stars,

 

Can a man change whilst reminded of his struggles by his scars? 

 

Can we move on simply by driving in our cars? 

 

Or are we stuck...

Fate

It was fate that delivered me,

Mentally, physically,

Emotionally and spiritually,

Yet it's the lost years that have finished me,

Woman and children are loved unconditionally,

Men are loved under condition. 

I received recognition as I looked up from the television,

In one full sweep my sins was forgiven,

Forgotten, 

Too late tho I suppose as my souls turned rotten,

Do...

Retribution revolution

There's a revolution coming,

You can feel it in your bones,

Pour out into the streets,

In defiant defence of your homes,

Your beliefs or religion won't see you fighting on your own,

For my enemies are your enemies,

Together we can avoid their poisoned stones. 

No accidental creation,

We are little gods,

No way did we crawl out of water,

Not the decedents of a frog,

God's and everyone else

There is so much in the world that makes you fearful,

 

Like maintaining control of your souls broken down vehicle,

 

Desperately seeking a situation that's cheerful,

 

Individually sinful yet collectively meaningful,

 

Weak in body but Spirituality unbreakable. 

 

There is so much in the world so profound,

 

Yet we break ourselves in search of the pound,

Daddy Did

When all of you have grown into adults from a kid,

 

I wonder if you'd remember all the things that daddy did? 

 

Will you remember the love,

 

Will you remember the pub,

 

Will you remember the cartwheels across the floor,

 

Will you remember mumma greeting him at the door. 

 

He hopes you will hold him and still in high regard, 

 

As he used to hold you ...

Sometimes

Sometimes this life your living is more than you can bare,

 

Sometimes find yourself standing with a distance and vacant stare,

 

Sometimes these thoughts and feelings you are blissfully unaware,

 

Although sometimes very real as if they are sitting over there. 

 

Sometimes I sit and wonder if this is more than I can take,

 

Sometimes I am the creator of my own bad mi...

Otherwise free

We found within our reality a Profound and very real depravity. 

 

The world is filled with things you want not necessarily what you need, 

 

You work yourself into the ground for someone elses greed,

 

Look at yourself in the mirror and convince yourself your free,

 

But it's an eternal prison where you live the bars you just can't see. 

 

The inevitable suppression ...

Moral Standards

I am the voice of the common man in all its glory and gore, 

 

I am the voice for the nervous man who walks within the world cautiously unsure,

 

I am the actions of a humble man whom survives darkness and disappear,

 

I am told I have the actions of a Godly man of which I am blissfully unaware. 

 

Life can get you thinking about the birds the bees and trees,

For Christopher

I cry because it looks like my friend, you was in such pain,

 

I smile my friend because I believe that we will see each other once again.

 

Although your body broke your soul remained the same,

 

I see pictures of your family engaged with you in games,

 

Harsh lessons for your children to the complexity of life's frames,

 

Lost dad but,

 

Strength, courage, res...

To Sean

When the angels came to take you there was no time for good byes 

 

I'm sorry if your still here listening to me cry

 

I know your standing with me as I look up to the sky 

 

I can almost hear you say to me "bro you need to dry your eyes"

 

I'm sorry if this news still comes as such suprise

 

For none of us was ready for your untimely demise 

 

Still we breathe ...

The widows windows

For some years now I have walked past her window,

She is possibly a widow,

Through the pane I witness pain or so would seem the way,

As she sits in the same slumped position each and every day,

Within a room dawned with decoration of the past,

The framed and pictured memories on the shelves are vast,

Something deep within me wants to reach out even more,

To talk to sit to list...

The great garden

The good lord will need disciples when he comes back to cleanse this land,

he will pick a hand full of people from common woman and man,

sitting at his right side is where we will make our stand, getting this rock ready for the next creations, caretakers, hands.

Once all the evils gone and we have fallen at his feet together in the next world is where we all shall meet,

as he thanks us...

Future Found

The colour of your shirt does not determine your standing or standard of life,

Your position within a company does not make you who you are,

When describing one's self it is hard to not chronicle ones job,

Instead regale your sole and subsequent wisdom.

The 8 to 10hours a day you spend away not looking at reflection nor self-righteous meditation can leave you impatient yet waiting and ...

86 words spoken

So, the gods have deemed it necessary that we live another year,

 

The over lords overall plan for us is quite unclear,

 

Will the problems of the lost, last year graciously disappear?

 

Whilst some desire sobriety, others drown in beer.

 

Unified behind a lie we lay back down to sleep,

 

Thoughts within our minds we never find the time to speak,

Addictive families

I am fighting an addiction that I cannot seem to shift,

 

Every single time I try it makes me feel like shit,

 

So tasked with making myself better, I reach for another hit,

 

Looks like I’ve failed again, again my mind set split.

 

Round and round and round I go desperate for that ride,

 

The pace at which I’m spinning starts to hurt my eyes,

 

I hold on tight ...

Follow the leader

I use my words for encouragement,

Like Fuck the government,

Or wipe away the tears of the years,

I use my words for punishment,

To Find the depths of all of your fears,

For now, those who desire change, please lend me your ears,

For tonight the fight back is fought, with all your gears,

And as the problems of today slowly disappear,

We can raise a glass to cheers the next ...

Redemption

We are a medicated Nation losing our patience,

Filled with Fear and Hatred through forced entertainment,

Leaves us Positively wasted and not in the shoes with which you came in.

Lets all point a finger and start blaming,

Let the news tell stories of rain and complaining,

Lets all sit still whilst Their still aiming,

Lets all start this and that shaming,

Or,

From Him To Her.

 

Although your not here, I still set your place,

 

My memory holds, your smile and your grace,

 

On my lips, your lips a familiar taste,

 

Your forever around me, still filling my space.

 

Broken I feel or better words to describe,

 

This pain I feel, now you’re not alive,

 

A better place to be, I do aggressively try,

 

To keep going yet knowing, I’m...

Long is the night

I see a couple standing together hand in hand, he says this is my woman she said he is my man,

There is something deeper here that we will never fully understand, they passed away some years ago yet proceed to walk this land.

Let your spirits teach you, lessons of life and love, no matter where you stand below or just above and fly together gracefully on the wing tip of a dove ?️

Farther and son

People abuse positions of power, that's just the way it is,

Some can buy themselves another house, whilst others struggle to feed there kids,

He's poor because he didn't try, often he's been told, I wonder if they could stand the years that he's been stood out in the cold,

The rich man walks the earth doing as he's told, no individual here to find as his souls already sold.

Loves fire

You have been pointing your gun at me,

You've been trying to make me see that your getting ready to leave,

Go,

You don't mean nothing to me.

Now your finding it hard to breathe, as you run away from what you believe in,

You told me that I hold the key, but now you don't mean nothing to me.

I used to feel the fire that burned in your eyes, you said you missed me once but you misse...

Established/ ment

Im not robbing the rich to give to the poor,

 

I'm taking from them so We have a little bit more,

 

A council house king, an heir to a whore, 

 

An obligation to stay here tied to the floor.

 

Our children bullied, our pets beaten and stolen,

 

Ask why the common man now has a heart that is frozen, 

 

 And Why he must watch every word that is spoken.

Are you still stuck struggling young man, have you sucome to the voices?

 

You can be forgiven for the sins you did commit,

The Darker Side of me

Visions of rain through a broken window,

Let it welcome you to reason,

Let it be beauty in front of you but you are unable to see,

May it be the sweetest fruit known as you lose the ability to taste,

The angel of anger different to us all, I will use mine so your unable to stand,

Crawling across the floor in the dark, let it be your blind hands frantically reaching for safety as you...

Facing the facts

The Gym, someone's business, another's sanctuary, his social club, her center of empowerment, my second home, and bill payer. The Gym, since it's birth it has been a place for socializing and engaging in intellectual persuits.

Gynos meaning naked, this is how many of us felt without our sanctuary, without our security.

 

A place to take classes, from which we learn how to move in ways tha...

Harsh Morality

People die,

 

Governments lie,

 

Humanity on standby,

 

Why so surprised,

 

As true as the sun is in the sky, 

 

Miles from heaven,

 

But closer to hell,

 

So make your home here, 

 

You had better make it well,

 

Would we do more,

 

If it was classified as war,

 

After all the thing on tv just killed the man next door.

Freedom and Fitness

I traded pints for press ups, 

 

Mad mess ups for sit ups,

 

Traded Cocaine and shame, for a better perspective of life’s game,

 

Drug running to running Miles,

 

Now running and lifting for no other reason than for this feeling of freedom,

 

Traded mistakes for nights in with protein shakes,

 

A hang over and hanging my head, for ownership of my own head space ...

Bringing up Luke

My mother always said "confidence is key"

Dad said "don't grow up like me"

My grandfather maintained that  " the best things in life are free,

My grandmother would always incline to disagree.

So what advice will I give when it's needed,

will my views at that time seem somewhat concided, 

they wont see the struggle that Ive had, or the or the times I proceeded.

Now, would you b...

The life and times of us.

We live in a world where anything is possible,

provided you can climb and overcome any obstacle,

a place where life and death is optional,

a place where you start you first day, on a spiritual plain as a sole trapped in a hospital,

a place where at times it feels like your achieving the impossible, it's quite plausible.

I find I belong, to the high achievers, the day and the night t...

Your words

I am a hunter of words, stalking my prey requires patience and creativity.

 

Some days I starve, allusive words hide in the forest of my mind, I can only glimpse them, as they rush out of the bushes, blowing on my neck as they fly by.

 

So imagine my surprise, as a sizeable word lingers, watching me, almost testing me, the eyes say try.

 

I know now that my pray lives in others, ...

Cyber survival

You've been looking more low

More so lately, 

Sick and tiered of the messages 

Of hatred,

Read them one at a time, 

Be strong in your mind, 

Even tho it hurts inside,

 regain your pride, 

Find the strength to survive 

And do it all again.

 

The bully, no ones friend, 

Not superior, nor super, 

Only big and strong, sat behind a computer,

Love losses

Since that mans lady left him, he's not been living sober, he spends a lot of time talking to the inhabitants of his shoulders , one tells him to "give up son you know you life is over" the other says "stand strong mate you've always been a soldier"

 

What's done is done you've had your fun, now I'm afraid it's time to move on"

Our comfort

The fat beneath your chin is not a sin, the fact your not happy in your own skin is the perfect place to begin. 

 

Thin doesn't define you, yourself will never find you, all the while we hide from our true value.

A positive step

Time is never on your hands, it's always on your wrist 

 

Such a twist, a cruel twist of fate, always told to tolerate the facts that make you hate.

 

But wait, it's not to late, go forth and seek the thing that make, you think, of every mistake, every loved lost, every hart that brakes. It may seem as if it's more than you can take. 

 

So take a little more, shock everyone aroun...
