School for All
Everybody’s listening to nobody’s fool
Nodding their heads to the next dumbass rule
Yet nobody gets that everyone ‘s cool
We’re all still at desks in one big school
Cos it ain’t what you feel, touch, taste, hear or see
It’s as straight up as this ... It is who you BE.
PREACH
What’s with the waiting?
Digestive ruminating
What’s with the questions?
Pointless suggestions
What’s with the schooling?
Retrospective ruling
What’s with the buying?
Delusional lying
What’s with reflection?
Full-on introspection
What’s with these words?
Just shepherding verbs.
Poet
How stupid am I to scribble and scrawl
How arrogant pride belays my fall
What did I think these words would achieve
In you have I lost now only to grieve
Cover me now with shrouds to veil
Tighten the knot this heart to impale
Wisdom is lost in words sent to try
Solace found soft slow silently die.
Advice to Self
Try just to observe or write it all down
Capture that spirit become that clown
Gain from the greater and bring it all down
Walk a straight line now spin it around
Do what feels right and natural for you
Speak open your mind speak what is true
Smile at your self and whomever you cross
Just one last thing don’t dwell on your loss.
Credit
Chasing clouds of fantasy
I rush towards the edge
Lost in my complacency
I stand alone in debt
Waiting not to hesitate
I seethe at every turn
In lieu of all the good I’ve done
Still I never learn
Leaving what was never meant
I dance on silently
In haste I gather all I spent
To brighten up my grave
Finding all my fragments
I try my best anew
In truth I know what is what
But not what I hold-on to.
