Like the moon in the night’s sky, A beam of light in the darkness of my eyes, Although, you are cold, I could grow old, Gazing at you’re wonder, But we are destined to live in sunder. I am here; you are there, The separated pair, Forever polarised, True feelings masked in disguise, Forced to live a part, Carrying a piece of each other’s heart. Both free falling, Still trawling, Through the fish left in the sea, Since you, I’ve caught plenty, Yet my net still feels empty, I sink, as my heart feels heavy....

The World’s damaged! Humans are the virus, forcing toxins through It’s veins, Idly observing, as we keep inflicting pain, Eradicating co-inhabitants, time and again, We raise to **** and **** to raise. Our thirst for more, is ******* The World dry, We’ve poisoned It’s blood, acid It now cries, We’ve pierced Its shell, although some call “Lie!”, We’ve ignored the symptoms, The World’s about to flatline...

Golden skin, Initial crunch, Cloud like interior, Dinner or lunch, Undeniably tasty, Ideal to munch.

Nugget
Today will be the day, Everything comes this way. Surging through these veins, A proactive antidote to pain. Arisen with fresh eyes, Loosened yesterday’s ties. The face of change is smiling, Self value is no longer compromising. Shaken off the lethargic slime, Been rescheduled to prime time. Lost the identity of a schlep, Bounce rediscovered in the step. Self-given a new meaning, Opportunities are teeming. No longer engulfed in sorrow, Tomorrow is a new tomorrow.

Wake up, stay up, sleep... Wake up, stay up, repeat... Wake up, stay up, weep... Wake up, stay up, repeat... Wake up, stay up, reap... Wake up, stay up, repeat... Wake up, stay up, sleep... Wake up, stay up, repeat... Wake up, stay up, weep... Wake up, stay up, repeat... Wake up, stay up, reap... Oops! That last cut slipped too deep... That last time that they weep... That last time they decided to reap... That last sleep that they can never repeat...

Another cog sanctioned to help turn the capitalist cycle, Trapped! Forever in this self perpetuating mechanism. Another body sentenced to break itself to help preserve the lifestyle of the more fortunate, In the vein hope that one day they can too enjoy some of life’s freedoms. Another vote not loud enough to speak of their personal indifferences, But enough to add a crumb to that year’s politician’s half-baked ideas. Another soul destined to live a life they hadn’t intended, Living to work, rather than living to live.

Forever tick, tick, ticking along, Can feel so right and the next feel so wrong, Can be cherished for eternity or quickly forgotten, Can drag it’s heels or feel continually prolonged, Can be captured in a snapshot or explained through song, One moment it’s there the next it’s gone.

Time
Fifty-two people; one destination, Six wheels rolling across this great nation, Fifty-two minds trying to escape boredom, Seventeen people casually snoring, One-hundred-and-four *** cheeks turning numb, Twenty-eight chairs peppered with crumbs, Fifty-two people itching to move, Seven people impressed with the view, Fifty-two people stand and stretch, Fifty-one people have shuffled and left, One person stays and has a quick rest, The same person stays to repeat the trek.

Stand together! Stand tall! Stand proud! Don’t fall! Pick each other up! Stand for the rights of all! We’re louder as a unit! Isolated our voices become small...
