Calculate The Worlds

A little after thought from my "Venezuela" post ;-)

Everybody's on the hustle for more
From the rich men to the extremely poor
While I'm haggling over a measly score
A wealthy man negotiates in millions to store

We are divided but we all want to spend
Some earn interest on what they lend
Others pay the bills to struggle all over again
Rich man/poor man won't be friends

I earn a little because my needs must
I must provide so my kids have stuff
A little is a lot when you haven't got enough
Some spend more when they have too much

Rich man stresses 'cos the deal was left in doubt
Homeless man argues and he screams and shouts
He's starving and he's cold cos he wanders about
It's all a game of maths that we need to figure out

Some care when others are in need
Some dare when a lover's in greed
Some tear when a mother's left to bleed
Some stare when a brothers greed to need bleeds to eat

We have all lost our way
Some get more to play
Some will get found today
And remember its not how we're made
It's how we calculate the worlds and divide when we get payed

A World Without Love

Imagining a world. Where love and lust don't exist. No more heartbroken souls. Taking blades to their wrists. No more adulterous husbands. Or moonlighting wives. No more crimes of a passion.

Funny things,. That make me laugh,. Like photos on Bing,. Of meme giraffes,. Cute li'l bits and pieces,. That seem to make me smile,. Like pronouncing geese as geeses,. And fluffy things in a pile,.

This one might result in some consternation since it attempts to address the issue of abortion. If you disagree with me, I respect that, but please don't start an argument in the comment section.

The City

A tower block, A wisp of smoke. Homeless people, Sometimes taking 'coke' Traffic jams, Polluted air. Everywhere you look, There's people there. Phones and iPods, All sorts of things.
