Isn't life funny. Isn't it strange. Everyone's different. But no-one likes change. Some folk are open. Some maybe shy. Some folk are honest. Some of them lie. Some of us rich. Some of us poor.
I'm not one for poems or stories and such. So I'm just going to write this. While you're sitting, lying, standing there reading this, people in the world are suffering so badly.
How can we. How can we eat until we nearly explode when people elsewhere in the world struggle to find a grain of rice.
Lonely in the midst of faces, A moving, dynamic crowd, Surrounded by talk and chatter, Some looking sad, some proud, Walking, side by side - connecting.
A walking message of darkness, No joy in their footsteps, No life in their eyes. They are the walking dead. Life abandoned for no apparent reason, Waiting for the inevitable end.
This is it, the human race, Hold high your head and show your face, The trek will start an uphill climb, A neck and neck of love and time.
Please love me,for I know not why my heart cries. I have walked a thousand miles across deserts and crossed seas with waves as high as mountains, but never have I met love.
Sometimes I play detective. Looking at other people's perspective. Do they see the world like me. Recording every detail in every degree.
You are an uncut diamond, Left by the way side, Treasured by no-one, Yet twinkling inside, Can I pick you up, Polish your face, Say, "we're not all bad, The members of this race," Or should I walk...
I watched them build it up, As if they knew it couldn't stand, Come crashing down struck.
Many thousand moons ago, The world was more than we now know, With skies of blue and fields of green, And every colour in between.
(www.soundcloud.com/The-reggae-monkey/how-do-you-feel) I woke up today , I fucked a kid, I had a sweating brow and no sign of remorse, it felt natural, How do you feel.
Looking at the sallow pale face How ever did you get to this place.
How deaf we have stayed And how blind we have been To the music we've played And the fights we have seen It's not long until All this mess will collapse We're already living to kill But falling in...
#nightdwellers There are some who look like others But are we not all histories sisters and brothers.
Lives are taken Without a moments thought What horrors we've wrought Inside of our hearts. People kill without reason This world is so crazy Things seem so hazy Is there ever clarity.
Muttering under breath, Banging on tables. Swearing obscene curses, People dish out labels. Stale stench of urine, Stumbles over a rock. Muddied coat gets messier People near by mock.
A window of hope A window of dreams A window to faraway places A window to see, What goes on in this world is hard to understand, But with my window to see through, I'm starting to understand, The...
So much of this world is covered with sickness I'd give my life to end it, god as my witness Sickness of body and of mind For every cure theres another sickness we find.
Once upon a time, Earth was fine. No pollution, No unfair distribution. No sadness and sorry, No dreading tommorow. Before the human race, There was so much space.
#household Allotropes of carbon, A thousand different moulds, Each one of us a story. Nine months 'til we're told, Then we learn and we stumble Not only as infants Into a world So new and...
What makes us more than fundamental bone and skin. Our memories, our emotions, and our love.
I stop and stare and contemplate, Peace and war, Love and hate. Killing, mugging hurting each-other, That's somebody's sister, That's somebody's brother.
How to know what is and isn't, All the eternities utterred and promises forgiven. Shiver each day with hope scarring, Deepening the doubt of the future marring.
