You Cannot Stop Me

You Cannot Stop Me

I have a vision 
I have the power
I can see through you
you cannot stop me.

Write the vision
and make it plain
read the vision
and run with it.

Whatever it is
I will grab it quick.
I'll speak what I see
and seee what I say
and pick gems
along the way.

I will write myself
into the harvest
so I can reap
when God says it's best.

So do what you must 
but get out my way
unless you are uplifiting
you have nothing to say

Because without the vision
the people perish.

No More

No More

I know we say
it's for the best
that it is love expressed
by sacrifice
That's the test!
But enough!
No more!
If fear
is the centre of our world
it will crumble
with no true love returned.
Let us stop 
painting fairytales
that create too many scales
that hide the ugly truth.
Let's give over to loss
carried and tossed 
by the misfortunes of reality.
No more
let us cling to a dream
that destroys Selfesteem
nor be a slave 
to a misfortune gained
in infantile candour.

Lasting a Lifetime

Lasting a Lifetime

My companion
always 
inside,
deep down inside.
Daily Healing wakes up
and get's to work:
She says "honey you've been hurt
deeply."
She speaks so sweetly,
that the pain becomes
a dull throb
that soothes
the silent sobs that hurt gleefuly brings.

It lasts a lifetime,
inside of me,
deep, deep down
inside of me,
and daily,
I must heal.

Office Saga

Office Saga

"hemahemhem"
the voices are lowered
as a new arrival comes into play.
Distrust is rampant and hurt feelings 
are a dime a dozen.
No one can be trusted
except those whom you trust
because they never know
who is for us.

These silly games continue
a jostle for position
or to prove you just don't care.
Whispering groups feel vindicated
they will be heard even if it's here.
Ambition is frowned upon
stars that have shone
must be dimmed
by the 'honest critics'
who hold nothing back
and give very little worth giving.

But once you're gone
your gone.
And what comes next
pray tell?

Slow Burn

Slow Burn

Not to fast
or you'll be tired to quick
not too slow
or the motion makes you sick.
If your want reality
you must go slow
If you want to keep your vitality
there is no other way to go
but slow.
half baked 
look all fake
because you never did what it takes
to get the right motion
with a slow burn.
Don't be tempted
and get misrepresented
by going to fast
only to ged passed
along like a rag doll
easy to fall
for this trick and that.
Take it slow
go slow
and learn
how to slow burn.
