Life

Life is so fickle, it passes by so fast There’s barely any time for us to think And it’s too late when we realize that we won’t last Cos the ship has already begun to sink We take so much for granted And we leave so much behind Growing up there was much we wanted Ambitions and dreams all blind As adults we often can’t find the time To remember those dreams we had Now we slave for every nickel and dime And we will till it drives us mad We have to make use of the time we get Because when it ends, nobody can say Give your life meaning before those gates are met And no barriers will get in your way So make the most of the life that you’re given And be mindful of your every thought Live, love, be loved and be driven For our time on this is earth is short

Valentine's Day

They say it's a day for celebrating love in its purest form, and the courtships blooming all around is the norm being in love is a wonderful thing, it's a beautiful feeling it's so powerful that either extreme will have you reeling Valentine's day, a commercial buffet of chocolate and flowers cards, dinner for two and romance sprouting all over for hours candles and hearts decorate the entire world, specials all around couples holding hands and gazing into each others eyes so profound But then, there are those who don't get to celebrate love people who always get hurt when push comes to shove the ones left nursing broken hearts everywhere all alone feeling the extreme of love, they wish they'd never known There are some who feel that love escapes them looking on in envy of every couple they see before them there are those who've never experienced love at all they look on and wonder what it might be like to fall Love should be felt and ce...

Our unsung heroes

It's funny how much we only think about ourselves There are people that we just put on the shelves We live our lives in our own little bubbles Not thinking about those we go to when there's trouble To support our lives they battle with their own Would it hurt to return the love they've shown? They do everything for us and we are ungrateful They've always been there even to take us to school It's not that we don't appreciate what they do But we could show them we understand too They give us everything yet we take them for granted And I suppose it's about time somebody ranted Granted, in some cases there is abuse and pain And tears block your vision like a storm of rain But then stop and think about how you came to be And maybe you can come to terms with the struggles you don't see The unknown lengths, the many sacrifices They show as the road and we travel with our own devices So show some love to those who keep us from being zeroes...

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 ...
