You enjoy the frivolous but cant take the serious

Reality will hurt when you dress life in a pink floral shirt

Leave the jokes to the jokers

Leave space and time to the smokers

Let the economy feed the capitalist

Let the evangelist preach like a ******

Write with your heart

Write to gather a new start

Let the dark sordid truth rise and shine

Stop working the world out with a bottle of wine

I'm leaving this place,"

Said the smile upon my face,

"I've made you happy for far too long, you dont need me now to make you strong"

"Will I see you again ?, my dear honest compadre, "

No response, gone , not for good though ,

Off to help another with this shambolic show

Its down to me , myself and my strength in the face of the depression that consumes all around

Its down to me, to show humility, have the honour and the compassion to help my life reverberate with a healthy sound

I saw on the news

The smile like a virus had spread to help eradicate the blues

Whole country's now full of elation

Around the world being adopted into folk lore like a long lost relation

I was proud, I stood  to attention, took the salute

My smile was now yours , pain and sorrow replaced by laughter

And like a fairytale , a dream of living happily ever after

Dont look at the photos , the glossy prints,
That super highway of information can not portray to you the ideals of an  impossible idealistic,
Looking no further than a mirror shall hand to you all you are fervently searching for,

The image of you and your secret beauty,
This is all you need to see,
Naked this is all you need to be,
Laughing in the face of the faces who crave chemicals to stay alive,
Silicon shaped cerebral celebrities with an expansive ego they are trying to please,

The fat , the wrinkles , all the bits not right, too small or too big to hide,
The tone of my skin and how some parts of my body have been arranged and applied
This is me
Its my secret beauty
Proud to be different and not following a path of fools, chained to the next
This is who I am and its a celebration for there is no other
Living life free and not running to take cover
