I see your face
In photos past
And smile for I know
That love will forever last
It is found and never lost
But there are times
You will count the cost
It could be your love is dearly departed
Maybe your love lays unchartered
Feel rest assured
Content to believe
Falling in love
Is a great thing to achieve
Yes there is pain
And sometimes it will drive you insane
This is the course, the way it shall be
For when you know love you know how to be free
Love for life ,
the emancipation of humanity

Inside the box marked emotions
Take just a few
The basics
Don't get greedy
Thinking all about the needy
Just keep it easy

You can have some in reserve
For a rainy day
Just careful when used,
It could be,
Your sanity,
Attacked and abused

Forget logic
And wisdom too
For all that happens
In front of you
Could just be an emotional outrage
Where the controls on the situation
Are secretly staged

As once was said
Keep the box fed
Keep it shut tight
No reason for the light
On a cool calm level plain
No stress
No distress
No reason to impress
The mimic of the moment
No need to retain

And then as I spoke
Your face
It changed
No love just hate
Animosity served
On a stone cold plate

A language unknown
Well to you it was
Either that
Or suddenly you are deaf
My words  bounce back
And with those you offer
I find myself
Under attack

You have a blatant disregard
For all that I am
No respect
For all that you loved
The bitterness that prevails
Sets the wind in our sails

Enchanted I was
But your magic has become
Just an acidic illusion
Our time maybe spent
We came we went
A reality now
Bred free from confusion

Our world, is in a horrendous state of repair
Problem is
There's not enough people
Who truly care
We can't just move to the 4th rock from the sun
We can't just tax the world and pray that the problems are simply undone
Our resources might just be on reserve
And we have the intelligence to preserve
So is it the gluttonous retention of wealth that handcuffs us to a stalemate
Or our misguided judgements of the hysterical hypocrisy hemmed into a society that deems a healthy environment less important than who is next to dishonour as they dictate
It shall be cataclysmic
Our efforts to avoid and avert?
Quite honestly,, pathetic,
Our self worth
This is reflected
On our treatment of earth
Down here, we are trying
To nurture nature as she sits crying
Up there aloft, where the orders command and the pockets demand
They are flying
As we perish from existence
As we struggle to even stay alive
As we prepare for Armageddon
Our dooms day procession
Feel rest assured
If our intolerance towards change isn't cured
Then it is only the planet that shall survive
Our prosperity
Can never be exchanged for our integrity
Let the glory of our existence
Be the definition of  our humanity

We all know it's all for nothing
That is why the most of us try to make something
Let morals command
Let responsibility reprimand
Let the games begin
Your truth is
Another's sin

Leave a mark behind
Run naked and screaming
Joyfully blind
Sober as a straight line
High as a kite
Willing to take the punishment
Ready to stand and fight

In love with pain
In love till you're insane
In love with yourself
Selfless with your wealth
Drowning when swimming
Losing when winning
Laughing joking
Drinking smoking
The experience the enlightenment
The necessity of nature
And a stress free environment

I am a memory made
I love this life
And the games I've played
Something from nothing
A life from the beginning
To a beautiful demise
