LESBIANISM

YOU SEE THEM KISSING GIRLS DO IT IN BROAD DAY LIGHT
DO THEY THINK THE REST OF US WANT TO SEE THIS UGLY SIGHT?
PROMOTING THEIR BELIEFS AND PASSIONS TO ALL AND SUNDRIE
HEAVEN HELP US ALL WHEN THEY DO IT FROM MONDAY TO SUNDAY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE LESBIANS ARE TAKING OVER OUR SOCIETY
SMOOCHING GIRLS OF PASSION,NOW A REALITY
"WE GET DRESSED UP SO SEXY FOR OUR OWN KIND"
NOT TO BE SEDUCED OR DRIVEN OUT OF OUR MIND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I RESPECT THE FACT THAT WE ALL LIVE WITH A CHOICE
MAKING OUR OWN DECISIONS WITH ONE'S OWN VOICE
JUST DON'T LET ME HEAR THAT IT'S PART OF EVOLUTION
HAVING SEX WITH YOUR OWN KIND,SOUNDS MORE LIKE DEVOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF LESBIANISM WAS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO
THEN WE WOULD NEVER HAVE EXISTED OR BEGIN TO GROW
IT IS THE ANTI-CHRIST IN THESE PEOPLE THAT CHOOSE THIS ROUTE
LIKE ADAM TURNING DOWN EVE WHEN SHE PASSED HIM THE FRUIT

-----------------------------------------

A LIGHTHOUSE IN CANVAS

YOU SLOWLY PAINT A PICTURE
OF HOW YOU SEE THE WORLD
THE COLOURS DRENCHED IN SUNLIGHT
THE BLUES AND YELLOWS SWIRL
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THE CANVAS THICK WITH OILS
A LIGHTHOUSE ON A HILL
THE COLD WAVES CRASHING OVER
THE ROCKS SO DEADLY STILL
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IF ONE COULD BE THE LIGHTHOUSE
AND STAND SO SOLID AND BRAVE
THEN HE WOULD SAVE THE SAILORS
BUT NEVER REACH THE WAVES
------------------------------------------------------------------
AND HE WOULD LIGHT THE DARKNESS
AND HE BE THE BEACON BRIGHT
THROUGH THE MISTY MORNINGS
AND IN THE STORMY NIGHTS
------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT ALL ALONE IN SILENCE
THE LIGHTHOUSE STANDS TO WAIT
FOR SHIPS RETURNING FROM THE SEA
TO THANK HIM FOR THEIR FATE
------------------------------------------------------------------
NOW SOME JUST SEE A PICTURE
THAT'S ALL IT'S MEANT TO BE
JUST MISTY WAVES IN OIL
A LIGHTHOUSE BY THE SEA
------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT SOME WILL SEE THE MESSAGE
THE BEACON BURNING STRONG
FOR WHEN YOU PAINT A STORY
THE OIL WILL SING A SONG.

LOVE IS ...........................

LOVE IS TO SACRIFICE ALL CHOICES THAT WE MAKE
FOR THE SPECIAL ONES WE LOVE NEVER TO FORSAKE
NOT BREAKING PROMISES THAT WE CAN NEVER KEEP
BUT COMFORTING THEIR SADNESS WHEN THEY WEEP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALLOW LOVE TO SHINE THROUGH EACH AND EVERY DAY
SHOWING HOW MUCH WE CARE IN OUR OWN SPECIAL WAY
FEELINGS EXPRESSED IN A SPECIAL TIME SHARED
LEAVING NO TIME TO REGRET,BUT TO SHOW THAT WE CARED
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IT'S A BOND SO TRUE WHICH HELPS US ALL GROW STRONGER
AN ETERNITY OF ROMANCE WHICH LASTS THAT MUCH LONGER
THAN LUST THROUGH AN AFFAIR WHICH MAY BREAK OUR HEART
ON THOSE SAD DEPRESSING DAYS WHEN WE ARE SO FAR APART
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEN WE SMILE, A KISS CAN SAY SO MUCH
LIKE THE TENDERNESS OF A LOVING TOUCH
FEELING NEEDED LOVE CREATES AN INTENSE YEARNING
THAT SPECIAL WARMTH GIVES US A SENSE OF BELONGING.

Life
-
My image of life is filled with sentimentality
I am an idealist not in touch with reality
Through my endless days I dream alone
Of my insecurities which really began when I left home
-
There's nobody I can trust to share all of my grief
I lack self confidence,but there is still belief
So I must stand up and show true faith in myself
Or I will hear others say,you've been left on the shelf
-
In my belief and all of my convictions there is no proof
Of a negative attitude,or people set against who say I'm aloof
I realise myself that I need to reach out
In anger and desperation there is a desire to scream and shout
-
For the injustices of the world,the pain and fear
Creates much sadness and a flowing tear
For there is little we can do to change the world
We live in such times where we feel helpless and unfulfilled
-
Lovers
-
As partners in love we work as a team
Refreshing is our love like a cool mountain stream
Our energies together make us stronger as one
Fulfilling our dreams is where this romance began
-
To love someone is to cherish their time
With each to love one another is not a crime
But love is built on a foundation of trust
Not desire for each other to remain just lust
-
It is to go out of ones way to help each other
Not fill up with insecurity and start to smother
Love is like ones favourite cherished flower
Nothing is so strong that gives us so much power
-
It grows really slowly and lasts for so long
But dies very quickly and when it's gone it's gone
So celebrate and cheer the beauty of love
From our father in heaven,it comes from above
-
Law Reforms - Does Crime Pay?
-
Crime is on the increase in this society of decay
As victims are common place in the world today
There is no justice but the right to defend
As more and more prisoners when released will reoffend
-
Poor sentences and inmates reduced to doing half the time
When released early from the punishment of their crime
New legislation and reforms need to be brought up to date
If the criminals activities are to be reduced at this alarming rate
-
Yes crime really does pays for the thug on the street
As fewer policemen are walking on their beat
Tied up with red tape and desk duties to perform
When the criminal bill of rights needs to be reformed
-
In the end there is lawlessness and social injustice for us all
As chaos and carnage rule as we head for a fall
No jobs,few prospects will bring society to it's knees
As the local communities speak out and make their pleas
-
Loneliness
-
It's really sad these days that we shut away
The feelings we cannot confide from yesterday
Victims lay helpless and isolated in their bubble
As guilt turns to sadness in their world of trouble
-
Sat all alone in their negative contemplation
And deeply detached from their family relations
Unable to express their inner feelings out loud
Giving way to empty desperation and not feeling proud
-
Loneliness can make us all feel isolated and incomplete
As deep down inside of our feelings it begins to eat
At our very soul which feels rotten to the core
In our wasted lives which become such an utter bore
-
Dying for salvation and a cure to be found
We reach out for the razor blade with silence all around
Many will attempt to disconnect with the use pain
Rather than fill up with depression and slowly go insane
-
Looking For A Job
-
The phone is very quiet
There's nothing on the job pages too
I'm getting rather worried
Oh what am I to do?
-
I write to several employers on spec
But few replies do I get
I've been to several interviews
But have not been successful yet
-
The government says it's doing all it can
To help the jobless people like me
But with only sixty pounds a week to live on
I don't feel I am getting any help,that's my plea
