To take a walk in the country  and to see the deer at play,
These are some of the finer things that make up a perfect day.
To hear the birds singing high in the sky
And the soft gentle drone of a dragonfly.
To see the sun shining on all it can reach,
On the Oak and the Ash and the Birch and the Beech.
To smell the sweet scents that are all around,
Of the beautiful flowers that reach from the ground.
And to feel the warm breeze as it carresses your skin.
Is what makes me feel good in the world I live in.

We all think we're different,
But we are all just the same.
Okay we might all seem unique,
And we nearly all have different names.
But when you get down to basics,
Our needs are all the same.
It's like we are the pieces
Of one giant eternal game.
There are some who are never happy
And go in search of fortune and fame,
And those of us who are quite content
Without needing to further our aims.
Yes some of us think we are different,
But we all of us are just the same.

I have lived on our capital's streets,
And spent the days begging at everyone's feet.
They won't help you up when you're down and out,
The only way back is to scream and to shout,
And hope that your pleas will fall on the right ears,
And that someone will see through the dirt to your tears.
During this time I learnt a lot,
About the people we are,The haves and have nots.
How some of them care and some of them don't.
The way some people help and some people just won't.
Sometimes you are angry and so full of hate,
That you think the world owes you it all on a plate.
But other times when you are mellow and calm,
You realise that people don't mean you any harm.
Some people won't look you straight in the eye,
Because if they did it would make them cry.
They would see the sorrow that's in your face,
And wonder what's wrong with the human race.

Oh how I've missed you for such a long time,
How I long for those moments when you were all mine.
I will never forget your beauty and grace,
Or the close ups I had of your exquisite face.
As I went to kiss you on your rose petal lips,
I'm sure that my heart made no less than two skips.
Your beauty is such that there aren't enough words,
So even to try seems almost absurd.
We have been parted for quite a few years,
But when I remember you darling I still shed my tears.
My heart will never completely mend,
And you will always be with me right to the end.
When we parted that terrible day,
I begged and begged you to stay.
But you had to leave as we'd grown apart,
And when you went you took a big chunk of my heart.
Take care of that heart, I'll tell you why...
Because my love for you will never die.

Soon my life is going to end,
But please all you good, kind men,
I know that I shall fade away.
Help my children to see another day.
You have come to help us and I know you mean well,
But my time has come to be freed from this hell.
Please help my children, That's my final wish.
Please put some food in their long empty dish.
I am so sorry that I couldn't do more,
But with no rain and this ****** civil war,
We are all dying and turning to dust,
Why should we suffer? it seems so unjust.

Why the hell are our troops in Afghanistan?
Why the hell are they in Iraq?
How many more people's hearts are to break,
As their loved ones in coffins keep being brought back?
What is it all for?
what is it all about?
Stop sending our troops there,
Let them sort themselves out.
