When life throws up roadblocks
I don’t sit around
feeling sorry for myself
or letting the grass grow under my feet

Nah! nah! nah!

You’ll find me with my shovel
carving a path
across vast fields
venturing into new terrain
stopping to admire the view
partaking of a new menu

Yeah! yeah! yeah!

An avidity for life
that’s me to a ‘T’
you’ll find me with my shovel
carving the earth before me

the e m p r e s s ordered
the commencement of building a house
out of hearts
a member of the roundtable
mere a f o o l
damnations
& agreements
blasphemy is law, fingers sew
whatever
ears hear
mouths out
the k n i g h t is at most a j a c k
ripping off ****** organs, blood-pumpers
the snow-clad land is tainted in crimson
hands are dripping scarlet
just a matter of tarots
nailed onto the town hall's board
and j o k e r s are us
this comedy show
logic rusting in the mind's attic
lambs and inanimate s h e p e r d s
for we are blind
for we believe

life is an attitude choice

problems can nag
and take up much space

but when i look
down at me from a height,
or up at the stars at night
i am reminded
that I am nothing ...

... nothing but
what i give to others
during my brief twinkle
on this planet blue

and so ...
i am listening to you
reason for listening in a world of personal myopia
Another day, another shot
To use your ammunition
Giving everything you’ve got
To friendly premonition

It won’t be Independence Day
For eyes that graze the ground
And every step along the way
Will only feet be found

Look out for the birds
Whenever life’s lows get you down
Cause looking up’s the quickest way
To rectify a frown
Simple; rustic, yeh?

People
Change attitude
Blame every minute

You
Stay calm
Watch them stray

Love
Separation dictators
Poison your relationships

You stare surprised
Of what
Happened

Loneliness, betrayal succeeded
Left with
Nothing

Expectation ruined everything
Love sank
Life
