Make a call on  your horn
and let the world know
Hillcrest is now Dullsville
Where mommies Ride SUV's
And shop in their Gym attire
Diamond rings and expensive hair
I just gotta be better
Mountain Biking Breakfasts
Micropenis and big fat wallets
Kauai food ******
Plantations *******
For sure this **** ain't The crest I knew
Hillcrest once a small suburb nestled between large trees and African bush , Unfortunatley after 2004 , greedy *** land developers got there hands on the place and turned it into Trendy *** place to be and attracted the wrong people to it , now the once sleepy country suburb has been possessed by the materialistic culture of the I wanna better types ..

Eternal Life
Gareth Dec 2015
No longer shall I fear deaths embrace

For knowledge did I receive
That we a Saviour have,
That On Calvary
Paid the price for you and me

Now Longer do I fear for I ,
But for those that wont repent

How Hardened has man's heart become
Through his own will from God's Grace departs

Oh Blind World
Politically correct
Morally bankrupt
From
The Word Astray

Open up to the One that Knocks
And Grace you shall recieve

For one thing will surely remain,
The Truth of The Word
Eternal Life we gain

Depression
Gareth Oct 2016
It's not like I ask for the world to turn black
It's a road travelled , I want to turn back

I didn't ask for this to happen
But this is where I sit

Moments of happiness
And peace do exist

Today I was told to snap the **** out of it
And that i live a life of dreary woes
It hurts the most hearing theses words
I tried to explain how I feel
Because I know that it's irrational


Prehaps to hear the words
I am sorry , I do understand
They  Could go along way to healing my heart
But I carry scars
From a life of no meaning
Snap the **** out
Snap the **** out
These words ring in my ears
You truly don't understand
You don't think
That
I wish
I could
With all of my heart
I Wish
I never suffered from this from the start


But I guess the best
Is to be on my own
Cause it seems that people don't understand
It's easy to be happy when the clouds don't come your way

Emotional Crutch
Gareth Mar 2016
Am I only here to provide an emotional crutch
All I have to offer is love and the such.

How did i end up here playing this tune , You get your fulfillment from both sides of the coin

But here I sit waiting and aching with the most bleeding of hearts

It's so unnatural this situation I'm in
The line of betrayel is awfully thin

This love that I give , I can never recieve
Time to move forward I constantly feel
But the law of attraction governs over me

Dearest Old Betty
Gareth Jun 2016
She sits in the corner
Of the broken old home
With a crown made of thorns

What has life done to Betty
To have beaten her , bad
No sight is truly this sad

She once was an angel
But now ensnared in guilt and betrayal
Drawing circles in the sand

I once saw an emotion
when the floor boards creaked
But she snuffed it out faster than the Flame could ignite.

The say you can tell the soul of a person  By looking into their eyes
But she only has hollows where her eyes used to be
Two Bottomless pits into hell

Are you the person
That
Possibly knows
What happened to dearest old Betty

For if you are
Then please to do tell
So the rest of us don't end up just like her
Gareth Dec 2015
You Are My Hope
A Foundation of Stone
But The Sun has become Desensitized
And The Rain Falls Down Red

The Only Time, I Could Tell You
Is After You Left The Room

When The Sun Sets Alone
And I am Left  On My Own
With The Words Still In My Mouth
That I Would of Trembled To Utter
I would love to see you again

Loneliness
Darkness
Silence
Unwanted thoughts haunt the mind

Cobwebs settle on the happy times
As time turns to dust
Eons go by shrouded in mist

Is it wrong to feel alive
At
The pain these wounds inflict
This is what has become the norm
Expectation of better days lost

Finding solice and comfort
In this solitary confinement of the mind
Heres where your demons
Become
Your
Friends

People say they understand
But their hollow words take no root

The mind becomes a derelict playground
Broken Swings and Merry Go rounds
The laughter is your own .

Lonliness
Darkness
Silence
Unwanted thoughts haunt the mind

We Are Now One
Gareth Sep 2017
Oh I remeber the night
we lay entwined , lost to space and time
we held each other
naked ,
lips locked ,
hands moving,
reaching ,
learning
 I sank into your soul through your eyes
I searched your inner being for your wants and needs
I had no fear of what I saw ,
I blissfully floated for hours in the depths of your being
caressing your soft amd gentle heart
I will hold you forever , protect you
My armour will be battered
as I shield you from life
we are now one
symbiotic
I will envelop you
and shield you from harm
we are now one

A New Day
Gareth Sep 2016
Darkness lifts
Drunken haze seeps away.

The waking birds sing their morning praise as the warmth of the sun bathes my cheeks..

I wake from the nightmare that has haunted me for many a year.

I can only express a deep gratitude for your soft touch and gentle nudge towards a life worth living ..

Each day dawns with a passion  for life.
A sense of purpose and being .

I once forgot who I truly was
But your soft whispers have ignited a fire and a desire to be free of the shackles that were drowning me

Last Thing We Would Do
Gareth Jun 2016
Have another slice of pizza
Crack another beer
Don't worry about the old man outside
The Blizzard
Is
Not
That bad

You have no time for the less fortunate
You see them as a disease

Take no time to wonder about their world
Self consumed is what we are
Our  one directive is to accumulate
As much **** as we possibly  can
Truth be told it's things we don't need
For
The couple of bucks
We throw away
Could improve the life
Of somebody else
But that is last thing we would do

To my job , I must go
For wages to earn
For things we don't need
This cash we must burn

Are you Free ?

True Love
Gareth Feb 2016
In this upside down world
Filled with pain and despair
A lesson learned is that love can decay

Oh my fairest angel of Radiant Light
I chose never to touch you
Or lead us astray
Lust is the catalyst of loves decay

Therefore my choice
Is to keep us apart
I will still love you with all of my heart

I choose to never know
 the touch of your lips
or the touch of your hand

For One mistaken night
can ruin it all ,
Then what is left
Nothing at all

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
Gareth Nov 2015
A bottle of whiskey
A handful of pills
Cut another Line love

Tonight we get the chills

Roll another joint
Drop another Dot
Lace up my crack pipe

I sure it will hit the spot

Don't come and preach to me
Until you fully understand
Some of us are destined
To seek things others never find.

From highs to lows
To excruciating pains
Our minds will never be the same

Death and destruction lie before me .

Death To Silence
Gareth Jun 2016
The early morning silence
A wonderous beauty to behold
When humanity sleeps
The silence is real

It's death to the peace
And silence retreats
For man thinks
He's in control

An Ode
Gareth Aug 2017
Silence drapes the day
as the African sun beats down
While the birds sing and flutter from branch to branch,
sweet mother nature's melodies carried on the breeze.

Blue skies filled with dreams , not a pillow of cloud in sight.
So here I sit and fill my soul
reminiscing of conversations from our time spent together
words turn in my mind , painting portraits
willfull wishes , hopes and aspirations.
Angels Wings , You my Beauty
Oh how I feel blessed

Word Of God
Gareth Nov 2015
For many a year
I  read the words of man
Thought provoking they surely are

They create various thoughts and  question the things you are taught
But in the end they are purely naught

Because within the hour somethings are forgotten and opinions will always differ
The subject matter is usually ideas and emotions that captivate the mind

Now on the Word of God
It's life Changing Matters and words that pierce down to the heart

It's remains the same through all ages
From the Alpha to the Omega

To understand this and study the text
Will surely make you better

But many a man will not even bother
With Preconceived notions they call it a myth 
That's the  stumbling block that lies before them.

If I could soften the hearts of the hard hearted man to actually understand

The Greatest source of literature lies right before them

But you shipped him off to a foreign land
For matters of no concern

When The Truths Revealed
Gareth Jul 2016
Have you ever realised
You are nothing that you thought
Everythings a lie
And
Hypocrisy rules

Have ever read your mind
In the dead of the night
And the truth becomes real

It's easy to hide in the daytime
But the voices echo at night
And resound in your heart
Cutting deep
Truths revealed
hidden from yourself

What if you woke
And realised you are everything
Opposite You wanted to be
Belief and value systems
A complete lie.

When the truths revealed
What is it you will do ???

Alone

Were  to from here
Gareth Jun 2017
So here we are another Friday night amd the routine will probably play out the same way it always has ..

I find myself lazing on the couch staring at some 90's television show waiting for my wingman to arrive..

I always get aggravated around this time , he is always late, but in the back of my mind , I know that he is in the red rocket hurtling toward Uitenhage , dodging buck and tortoises  with Addo in his rear view mirror..

The minutes tick by slowly as I wait in anticipation for his arrival , I am sure I will start pacing soon amd stealing peeks out the window at every sound in hopes it is him..

It's Friday night amd ***** going to get real , honestly it's the way we always thought it would but living in a small industrial town like Uitenhage doing anything felt like a huge party at the best of times

Finally I hear the sound of car making an abrupt halt  and park under the  tree , just infront of my folks home.
 Car door swings open and out climbs the dude i been waiting for .. Clad in the usual garb, flannel shirt , blue jeans and the complimentary steel capped boots, unkpet shoulder length hair and stubble that would make the hairiest bear in the forest jealous..

"Hey G" he pronounces " sorry I am late man, but had to catch up on some X-Files, before hitting the street"...

"**** Dude you always late" is the best I could come up with . "Let's rock n roll man , I wanna get  outta this joint and light up the night".. So after our front yard banter we both Hopped into the Red Rocket and headed off down the road still not entirely sure where we were off too but the night was still young and we had alot to get through

Everyday I work my hands to the bone,
I wear steel capped boots
Not a 3 piece suit..
I struggle each day for the  next bill to pay
Work Long hours and miss my childs play

You sit in your office
And discuss the next cut
Profits are down by a quarter percent
Let's cut a few more jobs because their lives are that cheap.

Hey , you ,  number 592 your number is up
We no longer need you
Our profits will go up

Class war is on the horizon
Workers unite
Equality for all
Our lives are important

Lost our hats too a purple cat
We no longer dream in black and white

Glitter and Sparkles all round

We just small town boys
on a night out.
Immortalised an image on the backdoor
Coals be burning bright tonight
Inhale
Inhale
Burn coal Burn
Pass me my stamp
under the tongue
now it's time to wait

Lost our hats too a purple cat
We no longer dream in black and white
colours taste good

fluffy pink unicorns dance round in our minds
Glitter and Sparkles all round

With some small town gin mill cowboy

I can see you're interviewing your brain
so for now I'll  just leave you alone
because I'm just a pearl diver
at a greasy spoon
and soon we will be in jail for hanging paper with that  runway in a ******* so I guess we  better just jungle up in Varicose Alley.

The children always suffer
This will never change
It's a ****** up system
From which nothing they do not gain

Mistakes are made by the parents
Who move on to better things
But the scars remain with the little ones
Of this there is no change

How to change this system
I truly have no clue
The pain my heart is carrying is true
When her tears I have to dry
The Mistakes I made are carried
In  the eyes of my little one.

The Only Love I Know
Gareth Feb 2016
Oh Love
Oh Love
You filled my Heart
A feeling I thought was Lost


The colours and hues are bright today
The sun a stolen ray
 
But as an icy hand grips me tight
These feelings will fade away
Joy is not meant for me
Thats the only way

Darkness and sorrow belong to me
They the ones that know me well
We dance into the night again
And caress in the icey rain

A Friday Night in 1995
Gareth Jun 2017
Friday night in 1995
Waiting for the Red Rocket to Pull in
Drop in with speed
land underneath the tree
Then this night is gonna get started

In a zip and whizz
the eagle has landed
Hop into the front seat

Rolling Joints as we go
First stop
The Milner street pad

who will be there ?

four hip and high cats
puffing on snipes
with guitars on the floor
and doodles on the wall

this is a far out spot
where we will wonder and ponder the existence of small town life
pass around blunts
and talk some more..
minutes flow like a psychedelic waterfall
with intertwining colours churning into everlasting hours
Memories made that I carry to this day

There will be no talk of sport or the last fight
cause over here we dont roll with testosterone
But with hungry minds
Cassettes play the tunes of the hour
Heavy riffs and indie trips
have carried these few youths away
once again we broken free from this small town living
become larger than life in this tiny room
were the social outcasts come to play...
316 · Sep 2016
Wake Up
Gareth Sep 2016
Where are the writings of all social ills
I see only tears of love lost
and
life's dreary woes

No social commentary
But personal pains
We given up on our brothers and sisters
And cry only for ourselves

My love has left me
My life is all black
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

What of the child that wears no clothes
What of the mother whom has no home
What of the father who stands in a line waiting in hope for a job to find

When will we wake up
Our humanity to find
Stop being so selfish
And help out mankind

Road Kid
Gareth Jun 2017
I met that Bo on the way to Bangor Last Spring
He was a man blown outta glass
Just released from the Big House
Most said that he was a Bindlestiff
But there aint no truth In that

He looked at me and called me an Angelina
Just another inexperienced kid
Who wanted to hit the rail and travel
He sat me down by the  fire and told me about
Bad roads and accommodation cars
and how to flip and evade the Bulls
also how to spot the easy marks

Bindlestiks and California Blankets
We sat eating bullets and gumps
Smoking snipes into the night.
With the moon as our cover
Safe in the Jungle
No buzzards around that night

The following day we would be padding the hoof along the main drag
Looking for a train to grab on the fly
and see were destiny would  take us
* Road kid – A young hobo who apprentices himself to an older hobo in order to learn the ways of the road

Last night we chose to ride those Chill Pills
Now,Waking up, I am trying to shake it
The Memories flash like a B rated movie
Just who was that woman with the heels ?
Here I am trying to waking up
Edge of the bed, watching the slides in my mind
Its like moving through a wasteland
haze and  daze
Far out
Wild
Still trying to tune in
Am I waking up
.................not yet
Need a trip to Vitamin Village
Solo Flight 101
Short trip to Rio
Gather the scattered thoughts haunting my mind
It's time to wake up
Take my red orbs outta this pad
Slowly, ever so Slowly

Random Thoughts From Me !!

I want to look up ,
I want to be free ,
But it ain't easy ,

They all say they will be there,
As I crawl around in darkness,
And stay away from drunken despair..

lady in white satin and powder in her hair..
She claims that she loves me , but I don't care.

I look to the cross to stay away from despair
Oh Lord , help me
I know that You care.

Your hand has touched me
and Your grace has altered me.

I am sinner trying to be free,
but chains and addiction , they are a troubling me..

show me Your love and satisfy me.

I look to the Cross to save me from me

Please take your seats

Time to dine on the finest delights

We will keep you blinded with the crap you are fed , television , movies with some Hollywood trash

We will **** all your brain cells and lead you astray  
you seek a new master and we here to stay

Wipe away that drool ma'am
I AM sure he can pay

And removed all your thought

We will take over your lifestyles
With these seeds we have sown

Preprogrammed mind patterns
On our monitors will be shown

Our mission is accomplished
When they have no more thoughts
Blind acceptance the special of the day.

A few thoughts I try to find

Writings of love abound
So many of feeling pain

Moulded by our life's history
We scribble down our minds

Questioning all the lessons

for fancy pants
have a cat and a dog too.
Hide behind the walls of their Castles
False beauty on the outside

accumulate and devastate
their Mantra for the day

Wake up
See the poor and down trodden
no airs and no graces
no manicure
no pedicure
is easier to be real with you live in the gutter
th th-th-thank you the broken old man did stutter
When you look into his eyes the real man you do see
Cause there is no time for falseness or pretense

and help those in need
and find a few mouths to feed

DEATH TO SURF CITY

Unholy Wraiths glide away from memories, now forgotten, taking that trip from needle to arm, a life lost , a past forgotten.

This is DEATH TO SURF CITY

Humanoid husks with liquid lined  veins , endlessly seeking  Strands of golden sunshine sold by street side vendors.
