A White Rum Christmas

I'm dreaming of a White Rum Christmas Just like the one's I used to know Where ice cubes glisten And barmen listen To hear us asking them for more I'm dreaming of a White Rum Christmas With every glass raised in the air May your chasers be many and iced And may all your Christmas Rum be White I'm dreaming of a White Rum Christmas With every joyful drink we share May your nights be awesome and bright And may all your Christmas Rum be White I'm dreaming of a White Rum Christmas With every hangover I have May your days be happy and light And may all your Christmas Rum be White

Reflection

So here we are, facing the end of another year, and the festive season has now moved into 5th gear we look back and wonder where the hell the time went? and think 'imagine if I saved all that money I spent?' We had so many plans at the beginning on Jan and as we humans say, 'well maybe this year we can?' look back at the last 12 months, what do you see? think to yourself 'what did I actually do for me?' It's that time of year when we reflect on the days gone by look at the things that went wrong and wondering why? we had resolutions and goals we had set for ourselves and now its too late to take those thoughts off the shelves The usual story beckons, those New Year, New Me thoughts but in all honesty, lets reflect on how hard we really fought? to achieve these resolutions and change the beat our hearts well, maybe at lest this year we can push ourselves to start What ever those resolutions and goals maybe? get to it before its too late,...

A Hooligans Game

It's a hooligans 's game, played by gentlemen, 15 take the field, all charged with adrenaline 80 minutes on the grass, with their hearts on their sleeve hoping for that victory, only they can achieve The ref's whistle blows and the fly-half kicks, and the other team collect and start with their tricks chip kicks, dummies and brilliant line breaks bone crunching tackles, which result in body aches Quick taps and penalties, drop-outs and rolling mauls, set moves with second rows jumping for the ball three-quarters run through gaps hoping to score a scrum down engages, the crowd begins to roar The scoreboard keeps ticking, they congratulate the scorer both teams playing with and pride, until it's all over bad calls from the ref, the touch judges fumble one team at a disadvantage, the crowd starts to grumble The final whistle blows and whatever the result the teams come together, no foul nor insult and then it's off to the pub for their holy co...

I, Earth

I am the reason you exist Yet, you take me for granted Do you take pleasure in hurting me? Have I not given you enough? I've given you fire, wind and water Food, and beauty beyond compare Even oceans, forests and mountains I’ve given you everything you have And you think you own me Why do you hurt yourselves? Don't you see how foolish it is? Don't you see you're hurting me too? Because you are a part of me And by hurting and killing yourselves You're actually hurting me By throwing your trash in my oceans And hunting my animals for sport With every bullet and bomb, You destroy so many species Your cruelty makes you evil And you don't even realize it Every wrapper and every scrap You pollute my rivers and oceans Even the trees you cut down You kill without even thinking Nearly everything you do hurts me You destroy in the name of progress You create and innovate at my expense One day you will see that by hurting me You are only ...

The Blame Game

We humans are experts at blaming each other And we do it, even if it means hurting another We never take responsibility for our own actions do we? We’re blind to it for some reason and this just cannot be  We blame others for things like racism, rape and wars When we see others suffer, we start moving our jaws We punish those who do wrong without trying to teach them right And then we go on and on about some self-righteous fight  We blame nations for arming rebels and creating unjust ways Thing is, we could’ve stopped it, but we let it happen anyway We blame a whole race and religion for terrorism without cause And then voice our opinions without knowing what’s true or false We protest immigrants for coming over and ‘taking our jobs’ They aren’t you enemy and this ignorance must stop Imagine if we worked to together and kept moving forward But alas we fall prey to propaganda and the words of a coward  We fight for equality amongst...

Growing Up 90s

I remember growing up, it was so much fun running around outside and playing in the sun the world was a different place then, we were so free hiding in the bushes, even climbing up a tree Cartoons back then were better than now right up until the one with the chicken and the cow the music back then still made you wanna dance the lyrics told stories and the beats kept you in a trance TV was so original back then, where do I start Knight Rider, A-Team even Hart to Hart Renegade, Sledge Hammer and MASH 4.0.7.7 The Fresh Prince, The Simpsons and more, it was heaven Movies were the same, they told brilliant stories brilliant cinematography and acting in all its glory Jurassic Park, Titanic and so much more long before Hollywood became a special effects whore Computer games were the bomb too, conquest, alley cat we always played through never know where the baddies would lurk two play on one keyboard, we made it work Those were the days, when Nintendo ruled the wo...

Humanity

How did humanity manage to stray so far? Why can’t we understand that one simple truth? That we are all human, same skin, bone and hair To change this world, we need to start with the youth We have politicians who live to turn things sour They curse and destroy peoples lives at will They're driven by greed, money and power If only they worked for the people and not make them ill Then, we have terrorists who kill in the name of god Driven by the propaganda of an unjust hatred Complemented by racists and supremacists whose leaders are all frauds They need to be taught right & wrong before they end up dead There are also those who call themselves men in vain Rapists, abusers, thieves and murderers just to name a few On the underwear of humanity, these people are a stain The saddest part of all this, is that its nothing new Is this really the world we should proudly call home? A world where innocent blood is spilled so easily? U...
