CHOOSING A GUN MEANS LOSING A SON
-
IN THESE VIOLENT DAYS WHERE CRIME IS RIFE
A PERSON IS NOT VALUED IN THEIR FRAGILE LIFE
THE NEWS IS GRIM WITH SCENES OF DEATH
AS THE PEOPLE OF SOCIETY HOLD THEIR BREATH
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A MAN WALKS IN TO HIS OLD SCHOOL ROOM
POINTING THE GUN AS THE STUDENTS LOOK ON WITH GLOOM
FIRING AT WILL THERE ARE SCREAMS OF FEAR
NO REMORSE IN HIS EYES NOT A HINT OF A TEAR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THERE IS BLOOD ON THE WALLS AND BODIES LAY STILL
HIS INTENTIONS WERE SO CLEAR THAT HE ONLY WISHED TO KILL
AN ODOUR FILLS THE AIR AS ALL LAY DEAD
THE FEAR AND ANXIETY ARE REPLACED WITH DREAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAKING HIS WAY TO THE NEXT LOCATION
KILLING HAS BECOME A PART OF HIS NEW VOCATION
PROMISES OF THE KILL HAD BEEN BOASTED ONLINE
ALAS FOR THE VICTIMS NOBODY SAW THE SIGNS
-----------------------------------
Choosing A Knife Means Ending A Life
-
Amongst the darker shadows tonight
A group of youths will share delight
By bringing death and misery to their victims on the street
As the poor helpless victim attempts to escape on his feet
-
As they chase him down,he is running for dear life
Not to be the next victim of the crazy gang with their knifes
Fear grips the night as they catch their intended prey
As the poor victim stares up at them before they begin their slay
-
Screaming for dear mercy and them to spare his life
But these kids only listen to the sound of their sharp knifes
Cutting his flesh,his screams rain out loud
The mother's of these fiends,they should be so proud
-
The blood fills the streets and begins to trickle away
In the normal life of our youth's gangland crime world today
The victim lay helpless,his life has been taken
He's another sad statistic for the family left heartbroken
-
The politicians are powerless and have no solution
To this evil culture which is in it's evolution
Violent games and absent female parents,you are both to blame
Now you should cross your legs and fill up with shame

-
CUDDLY FRIENDS

SEEKING COMFORT IN MY LITTLE FRIENDS
HELPS ME EVERY DAY FROM MY WITS ENDS
AS THE PRESSURES OF LIFE INCREASE FOR US ALL
THERE WILL BE MORE TO BEAR THAN TEDDY'S FALL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE DRAGONS, SO SOFT AND CUTE DO APPEAR
EASING MY INSECURITIES AND NERVOUS FEARS
EACH HAS A NAME WITH IT'S OWN PERSONALITY
IN MY TRANQUIL BUBBLE WHICH IS MY FANTASY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THERE IS DEBBIE,DELILAH,DUDLEY,DEE-DEE,DIGBY,DAVID & DAPHNE TOO
I'M WELL PAST MY CHILDHOOD BUT WITH ME THEY GROW
TEDDY'S AND FURRY CRABS FILL THE OTHER SPACES
EACH SO CUTE WITH THEIR ADORABLE LITTLE FACES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LITTLE NESSIE IS MY LATEST ADDITION
HIS CUTE LITTLE SMILE WHEN HE CRAVES ATTENTION
DRIVES ME TO INVENT VOICES FOR THEM ALL
MULTI PERSONALITIES SO WE WILL CALL
-
Coming Home For Christmas
-
Traveling home for Christmas a family yearn for glee
From their broken torn lives,they just want to be free
With their problems and their worries they must hide
And try so hard to release their fears they cannot confide
-
The bombs and the bullets have created so much pain
For their loved ones caught up in this life of strain
Their destination is a little chalet upon a Swiss hill
Where they hope for inspiration and in their hearts it will fill
-
The day begins with some fog in the air
As the four members of this family begin to share
Their travel plans,hopes and dreams
A peaceful time,the omens look good or so it seems
-
Meeting at Geneva airport with their name placards at hand
An embracing smile greets the newcomers to this land
The family are at one and begin their journey together
Nothing will spoil this moment,not even the weather
-
Hugging and kissing they hold on to each other for dear life
As brother and sister smile with husband and wife
Their little new home is decorated and complete
For their Impending festivities,it looks so sweet
-
They begin their stay with a glass of mulled wine
Sitting by the open fire where they will soon dine
The presents are all so carefully prepared
Around the Christmas tree to be handed out and shared
-
The snow begins to fall covering this beautiful land
As the meal is being prepared they all lend a hand
The food is rich and enjoyed by all
After consuming this meal they all feel ten feet tall
-
For one special night they can feel the release
from their tensions and anxieties,they thought would never cease
As the clock strikes midnight it's time to go to bed
The family become all quiet,not another word is said
-
Cold Reality Of New Technology
-
In this age we live in there is deep concern
That our society is becoming fragile and we don't learn
The mistakes of our past to help us move on
When present generations are almost gone
-
Few skills are found in society today
Because science has evolved in a such an efficient way
Where one man would work as part of a team
A robot or computer can operate the same machine
-
Jobs will be lost to new age technology
Affecting us all in our new modern society
Affording us the luxury and time to play with our toys
But degenerating to our youth like girls and boys
-
For our new found freedom will slow us all down
As our minds become weaker and devalued like a clown
The youth of today will be obsessed with their mobile phones
As people lock themselves away in their modern homes
-
Christianity Versus Materialism
-
Faith is the belief that in all we treasure
It's not a part-time pursuit or idol leisure
Offering our commitment and sticking to the task
Is the minimum we must do and that God will ask
-
Social habits are changing as lifestyles fade away
As new methods of living begin to influence our way
Far from the old days when we worshipped out loud
Being replaced today by the techno geek trendy crowd
-
Computers,cell phones televisions and more
Stimulate the lives of the modern day bore
Who can't think for themselves unless they need to react
Joining countless others who have joined their pact
-
Yes materialism is the blight of today's society
As so many non-God fearing people lose touch with reality
What price for their soul come the end of their days
As time consumes us all in many different ways
-
Chequered Love
-
In days gone by when she had it all
With Trevor and the girls she felt ten feet tall
But alas the choices for her are few or remain lonely
There is affluent George or dried up Tony
-
She flirts with them both and decides to date
Each has a chance but what will be their fate?
In the end she uses them both for her pleasure
When she is bored of the other at her leisure
-
Oh Pamela you have let true love go by
By settling for second best why didn't you try?
To be a good mother was never enough for you
As you spend your twilight years feeling sad and blue
-
Credit Crunch
-
In these dark days of uncertainty
We reach out for hope knowing in reality
That our fate has been already set
And it is time to place our bets
-
For the game of chance only knows one way
And in this little game there is a price to pay
With losing our homes,jobs and prosperity
Then become sober with life's reality
-
The government will expect the public to pay
For all of the mistakes it has made each and every day
The banks and institutions will do business as usual
But their customers are deceived with their refusal
-
To offer bad debt to the poor and meek
When these folk barely survive from week to week
Spend the money you don't possess its all too clear
As the economy grinds to a halt and with it someone's career
-
Climate of Change (The World's Ticking Time Bomb)
-
It is visible from far and wide
How Mother Earth is beginning to turn the tide
With the ice caps snow fast disappearing
And new green pastures appear through the clearing
-
It is way too late for mankind to rectify and compensate
All of natures lost treasures in it's present state
For nature now has a grip on our planet and things will never change
Not human activities or pledges from our government can rearrange
-
The future generations will be be denied such pleasures
Looking back through the archives,there will be fewer treasures
Our animal kingdom has been reduced in size
Less space on the planet for them to realise
-
When you buy a burger from a popular fast food chain
Did you know the damage inflicted which came with the rain?
For they bought up the Amazon and destroyed it's habitat
Whilst the customer eats in their chair and grows so fat
-
Crime,Grime & Slime
-
Behind closed doors nobody seems to know
When the hurt,pain and cries begin to show
There are victims of crime who scream out loud
And ones who suffer in silence that are too proud
-
Blood will be shed as violence rips through our society
As people begin to act out their fears within their sobriety
Today another victim of a post office raid is found dead
Her husband bound and gagged,she's shot in the head
-
Crime is out of control and we need to find a solution
To this odious epidemic which has become a pollution
Life seems to have no value in these modern times
As we are all affected each day by these callous crimes
-
With cameras are watching and waiting they avoid detection
Picking of the vulnerable in this sleepy village location
The prisons are overwhelmed,but does crime really pay?
As the guilty are often released early,come what may
-
Call Centres Grrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!!!!
-
When picking up the phone I listened to this voice
Which was stern and direct and gave me little choice
Marketing for a product I had no interest to use
The chat carried on despite my decision to refuse
-
Talking in a manufactured and business like tone
I replied "look here I need to put down the phone"
The caller continued with their marketing ploy
As I became tired at their stance which began to annoy
-
Call centres are a nuisance but whatever can we do?
In order to make an enquiry,we must join the queue
Waiting forever on a busy line to get through
As the multiple choice of questioning begins,there are a few
-
At home we make a call for our own personal pleasure
But when they call us it's usually at their leisure
Speaking to someone with an accent that is unclear
Working from an Asian country with their chosen career
