WAR War and peace does it go, no one knows From legend to myths to worries of Thor Viking God of war What is war, does it have no meaning? Where sons and daughters are trained to fight a system, where governments fail to parade Where names of loved ones go to the grave Does war ignite the fire, to unfold the targets that we have become The exposure, the rapid response to destroy life our future Where authority is given to people who sit in style, as people die for a country that has deserted them No escape I am afraid, Who is to blame?

WAR
THE DAY THE INTERNET NEARLY BECAME MY FATHER Dad where are you "No answer" I have a question about life "No answer" Dad how do I live and become a father "No answer" Days months years go by "No answer" I wonder to myself how would I become to know the questions of life Wait someone says they will be answered Eureka the time has come To unveil the ultimate machine the internet the fountain of all knowledge No more struggling to find unanswered questions By a gentle push of a button I have a "FATHER" Do I now have enough knowledge "Knowing the unanswered" I think not yet, life is to short to know enough But before I end a "FATHER" can not be replaced by a machine for better or for worse L STUART 09

THE DAY THE INTERNET NEARLY BECAME MY FATHER
LOVE A word made up to bring pain A dizzier to create suffering Why do we love only to be left behind Why do I fear to love Does love know it hurts Can love bring happiness Have I entombed myself in a invisible bird cage, where there is no exit, no freedom I watch my fragile life from a distance, knowing it will dissolve into dust I still dream of places I once explored, where the sun never sets and the darkness never comes My mind so strong, like iron horse men advancing into battle, knowing there is no return LARRY STUART 09

THE SEA So vast, so merciless, yet so graceful. What secrets do you hide in your mystic depths? Where the waves roar on wasteland shores And the ****** sands are still as white as snow Ancient galleons lie deathly quiet With tales of lost treasure deep inside its hull Sails ripped and savagely torn from the winds of long ago Forgotten mariners still sail their ghostly ships never to plunder the shores again.

THE SEA
A SOLDIER A man born from flesh and blood Ordered to **** with no regret As the giant cannon ***** fly, screams of terror hollow in the distance trenches In the blistering heat He trudges through the valley of lost souls Looking at death straight in the eye Knowing deep inside there is no surrender Adreline begins to pump through his veins with great heist The sharp splintered ammunition waiting to feed the hungry giant spring gadgets Waiting to rip flesh from bone Behind the trigger he lays analysing the ****** field before him He sees the paralysesd faces of small children, running towards him arms open wide His thinks what can I do He closes his tired eyes for a second, he runs screaming get down Nothing happens, blood starts to flow from his jagged wound He cries out for help lying in empty hole, as vultures fill the clouded sky He knows now his on his own As darkness prevails vanquishing the perfect light He lays his head down to sleep. Droplits of blood soak through morning mist the smell of burnt flesh fills the air He awakes from his deathly sleep to fight another day LARRY A STUART 09

BEYOND When we go to the beyond where the next mountain lies Do we fear what is on the other side? For whatever comes our way is it not adventure Through death and beyond beauty never dies For what beauty we see is to some only a dream to us it is what keeps us sane Where merciless mountains reign above all and shadow what we know by Gods grace we stand - but never alone Laza 09

BEYOND
LIFE I ask you as I begin, how would you describe LIFE? For me the word "Euphoria" comes to mind in a weird sense. Have we become our own narrators forbidden to live our own rehabilitated LIVES? Does LIFE for some have no meaning, where laws have incarcerated in the hearts of people who declare our own existence? We somehow fly a flag of nations, of countries what does it represent? Peace new LIFE or a pushchair war? Seems to me LIFE has become a class of its own distinction, never knowing its own ending. Is money the ultimate ruler of our hormonal LIVES? At the end do we desire what we fear the most? LAZA 09

LIFE
RAIN FORREST'S WHERE HAVE YOU GONE Paradise on earth where have you gone Over the misted green mountains where you once grew Standing like ancient cathedrals bowering to the stars above Silo-wets dazzled in your crowded light Bashful colours of green fade to grey Saviors of the human race Where have you gone Fossilized from where you had come Has fire become your enemy, man your ruler Dust to dust you return Waiting for the perfect time to rise again LARRY A STUART 09
