It's hard to know where to start...
Was it when we smiled at our farts
Our world seemed less offended
By just everyday laughs
Suddenly, we become so precious
When a joke was a joke
And good humour was priceless
On what day did we become so picky
Revising the words in our head
Not to say something deemed tricky
From the nineties nobody could even see
This future we accidentally mapped out
That upsets the whole of Gen Z
Preferable when we,
just went out and rode our luck
Back when we,
didn't give a ....

Remember when we used to get bored?
Sitting on the loo with nothing to do
Reading bottles by the bath,
ingredients to your mums shampoo
Watching the dew roll down,
the inside of the moving train window
Whilst staring at the fields whizz by, wondering, who built that scarecrow
Now a wandering thought is a novelty
We don't want to think, need distractions
A screen now our go to guarantee
Be it in our hand, the phone or laptop
A must in life,
our brains,
sadly,
Are starting to rot

Connection......twitching
Perfection........glitching
Direction..........drifting
Momentum......pushing
Reality...............drowning

If it's over, it's over,
there is nothing left to do
Just count your blessings,
say your prayers
Go your separate ways
And know, for the grace of God
It's best,
that you just be you

Every High Street is becoming the same
Turkish barbers,
charity stores
Now vape shops for the addicts game
A nation slowly losing its girth
As it fritters away, blindly
Losing trust, untimely
History,
falling,
even failing,
on this once hallowed turf
Our heroes, now turning in their graves
****** would be laughing
At a nation now Churchill could not save
For someone must turn this ship
To stop it going down the pan
So who could it be as we've given up hope
Because,
Christ knows,
this old girl,
need a new ****** plan

Our words have faded
No looks
No love
Unknowingly jaded
What did I do
Something I said
Something in bed
We cannot roll back the years
So please talk
Show me which way to walk
Before this all ends up in tears

JJB
Through tragedy
Through thick and thin
To reflect on what if's
And what might have been
Always raise your head
Above the parapet
Fight off those tears
That make you upset
Think of the joy, the tears and laughing
Never loose hope
And please,
Keep on Dancing

(Thinking of you)

If a circle had a corner,
then easily it be found
But that would be like cheating,
Instead of going around and around
The rectangle,
that has a quadrilateral meaning
Two lines of different length,
I now have a sinking feeling
Then onto a square
Not much thought involved, to be fair
Pentagons, hexagons, heptagons
All of different sizes and shapes
Like this planet and its people
The genuine and the fakes
We all shuffle our feet on this Earths floor
Coming together on a daily basis
Our lives in a muddle
A complete Jigsaw
