Behind Smoke and Mirrors

Do you tell him what it is that makes you happy
Do you tell him anything that makes you sad
If he tells lie’s to get under your skin
Don't you let him oh no don't you let him in
Don't ignore that he lacks empathy
Don't ignore that he can turn cold
He will try to make you relinquish all control
Don’t give in and allow him to take hold
control is all he needs
toxicity seeps through
You’re hearts open wound
And he’s
Hiding behind smoke and mirrors x4

An Everyday Fool

Blind lead the blind
Rich lead the poor
Hungry beg for food
Greedy just want more
Left long for change
Right want the right to hate
Tree’s want to be left
To grow in their own space
Love loses light
hate takes the stage
Prejudice is practiced
and takes kindness away
Race is still recognised
Religious wars still flare
human condition’s inept
and left in disrepair
opinions aired
Facts are shut down
Intelligence is void
stupidity wins out
Pursuit of happiness
Is lost to all it seems
Depressive episodes
reality TV
day turns to night
Gravity pulls down
its all black and white
we see things upside down

Sentimental Traditions

Sentimental traditions
Stunt progressive minds
Troll the net for your next victim
Attack them for being kind
Why...... must you act so entitled
What……. Do yo hope to achieve
It's not intelligent banter
protruding from your mouth
Thinking whats written shows class and wit
You’re speaking from much further south
When…… will your arrogance subside
Where…… else could your talents shine
Stop the hate, hate to stop
Poor taste without tact
Provocative attacks
Stop the hate, hate to stop
Confronting strangers, while purposely vile
Lack basic manners, judge before trial
Attacking adults and attacking kids
It matters not one bit
Sentimental twit

Clothes I wear
02:45

You can hate me for the clothes I wear
You can laugh, point, mock and stare
If that's the person you wish to be
Full of hate and lacking in morality
What is it with my hair that bothers you?
Our cultural differences, skin tone too?
These reasons make no sense to me
Your thought process is shrouded in hypocrisy
I don't want to come and claim the land
Your ancestors stole on a Kings command
It's possible to live harmoniously
But anger burns you up, you deny history
What do you care If there is change to
corporate logos, the product remains the same
I don't understand your reasons for this
Its hurtful, confusing and down-right selfish
Small changes help big wounds to heal
If it helps brothers and sisters, whats the big deal
Don’t get mad, don’t let that define how you see the world
take my hand and stand with me in unity
Can you really hate me for the clothes I wear

Breathe
03:42

A point void of fact
A cause lost to lies
Over and over we see it again
The pain echoed in cries
Let him breathe, let the fear subside
May we reconcile
The flame you ignite
Stirred the pot, got a fight
Gave your minions the green light
To shoot and think it's their right
Let him breathe. Let the fear subside
May we live Without fear of
a cops bullet taking innocent lives
Reconcile petty differences to
Create a world of tolerance
It’s worth the pain felt from the fight
Black,Yellow, Brown, White show love tonight
Stop the divide for capital gain
The more we fight, the weaker we get, the longer they reign and we
play right into their hands
The last thing the wealthy want is for the working class to stand
Cause our numbers are plenty and
There will be no treaty
Lets all band together to lynch the greedy
Who
value profit, more than they value life
Hoarding herds of cash, creating divide,
We might
all have different beliefs, skin colours
But one things for sure we’re all born from a mother, so
Open your eyes and open your hearts
showing kindness to each other is where it all starts.

filled with such an arrogance
panic stricken fools seem to be wide spread
Greed and gluttony will end up taking more
sure you can wipe your arse now
but your dignities stripped raw
Common sense won’t save us all
incompetent leaders have really fouled the ball
its quite the unusual predicament
Refrain from placing blame, look after all instead
No one’s at fault so put that self-righteous finger down
hate only begets hate, then loves left a deaf sound
its more a problem for the poor,
but those of whom which matter have not drawn the short straw
The elderly are next in line.
But those of whom which matter are expected to be fine

What good can come from this frustration?
what good indeed you hear me say
In my direction lays your attention
a seething smile conveys I'll pay.
well I've been waiting while you've been complaining
all the while, keeping me on my toes
When can I expect another sassy comment?
when can I expect you to move on?
Letting go I've found is really not your strong point
not giving a dam is where I'm wrong
Can you give me some time to say all of my goodbye's
then you can take me, take me away
where I'm far out of sight.
where will you leave me? I find it intriguing
where will I finally find peace?
I hope it's somewhere no one will ever find me
somewhere I'm comfortable and free.
