The wakening bore its fruits
Aches inside me still beating at these bones
Yet the bottle stays dry and my thirst
Becomes me

Why me
Surrounded in these walls
Why shout at my scream inside
A bloodied lip my only quench
Sends a shiver

There is no future when the world
Is painted black
There is no peace I fear
Only pain
Only sorrow
I breath

Well another year becomes an end
Yet fight we do to pay the rent
Scrimp and save to make it by
Money
World
My laugh
I cry

We fight for peace yet live for war
Religion feeds the hate
Deplore
Be oil bound
Or desert land
Fighting freedom
Media land

Adverts paid from the starving lives
CEO ..on dollar lies
Shakes my head that we don't care
Send us cash
No shame
Despair

Message from our leaders say
Here in Britain we all pay
(I don't see them hurting)
But for what my future
Battle plans
Oil
Greed
Starve the land

So I bow to the follow
No head I raise to show
I follow like the sheep
I'm told
The want
I know

I'll be that good and never shout
I'll be the one
Say yes
The world controlled because
I am
I follow like the rest

Please hold my hand this Christmas
As I cry my past
Awake
Please hold my hand this Christmas
For my memories sake
I pray

For I long to be by your side
This each and every year
My guiding loving angel
My love
My life
My fear

Let us dance for the future
Let us dance to bells of hope
Just another
Wondrous Christmas
My family
Friends
My world

Please hold my hand
Please guide me
My love for you comes first
That touch of Christmas magic
Your sparkle
Makes me hurt

Hear the bells of angels singing
Sweet music plays my heart
It's Christmas time
My lovely
It's Christmas time
For hope

Please hold my hand
This Christmas
Hold my hand
This Christmas time
Let's fly the world together
Come share our love
Divine

Let us dance for the future
Let us dance to bells of hope
Just another
Wondrous Christmas
My family
Friends
Our world

I cannot feel the love thats there
My Christmas failed
Bleak ended
All is fair

No sherry cheer or party grape
It's all inside
The dreaded
Hate

The songs I love now rattle hard
Slam the silence
Breath out
Loud

The sheep I shout
No more to care
You hear me now
Scrooge
I am

“Bah," said Scrooge, "Humbug.”

I can feel the blackness coming
My Christmas ghost of past
Fake smiles all gone
I had it
No laughter
Gone the blast

No presents for a tree not cut
Or dinner for no guests
A lonely morning wakes for me
Just like it
All the rest

I wonder could I be more down
Would money make me laugh
Baa humbug to the happy crowd
A bottle comes
My drowning friend

And in my haze I call my mind
From times so long in past
When we all sat and laughed a lot
sang hymns from long ago
When we all wrote how good we'd been
The sack lay at our beds
The opening of the 4am
Woke parents from those zzzz's

This Christmas day my head all high
On smells from dinners feast
A place so full of papers ripped
No carpet at our feet
When grandad came with so much more we wooed
At grandmas smile
A time when all the family called
That was my Christmas smile

Now here I lay in bed I stay
My head been on the rocks
The house is
cold
All lonely now
The candles fizzed away
No cards just
dust
My memories
bust
It's just another day
andy fardell Dec 2013
Red lips painted from a frenzied white
For they had been waiting for a long time
Tears to scare from memories past
Yet now is the time
Now is the place

Sara it is you they want
When the clock strike the midnight
In the land of the lonely
For only then will they show their
Paint

In just 40 clicks
Whilst you are sleeping
For they will be there
In the hallway
In the cupboards where you hide your dreams
Under your bed
Catching your breath as you lay awake
Daring not to open your eyes
To the
CLOWNS

For they are taking you
Playing you to a fiddled
Madness
Enjoy your sleep my friend as the Forty strikes
Our beginning
your's the end
andy fardell Dec 2013
All
All that becomes my future
passes me by in a blaze of glory
