#rockstars
Poets are emotional rockstars
causing rokkus
getting piss-drunk off of anything
that moves them
wrecking rooms
of highs after falling
grabbing the "feels"
and smashing them
on the stage of their life
fearless and loud
Now, that's adrenaline

Short lives
Always left wondering
What new songs
Could they be singing?
Short lives
Smashing jail house rock
For 42 years
Released in 77
Felt like I'd died and gone to heaven
Short lives
I'm getting it on
When I stare through
My corkscrew hair
Short lives
Taken to soon
Keith first man on the moon
Short lives
27 times
Waiting for Jimi's new rhymes
Short lives
No funny games
Buddy don't fly them plains
Short lives
An old poet called Jim
Still has the occasional
Whisky or gin
Long lives
Imagine playing mind games forever?

Zero heroes
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Those that we used to adore.
I need somebody to tell me,
Where do they go when they’re about to fall?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Where are they now? Nobody knows.
Where did they all choose to go?
I guess I lost all my heroes.
They all seem to fade away in the end.
Whatever happens to the ego’s?
When we decide they have let us down.
I guess things will never be the same again; oh no.
We were surrounded by infamy,
But now they’re all so sweet; no-one is angry.
They’re all so nice it makes me want to scream!
Get back on your star and let us once more dream.
Why does this happen to our heroes?
We want to love them like we did all those years ago.
But something happens to our heroes;
No more shouting loud, they’re all so mellow.
Whatever happened to our heroes?
They change with time; they all fall or die.
Our heroes change in our life time;
I wish I could go back and see them in their prime…
I want to go back in time.

Thinking that maybe there is music on planets other than our own
With different tones that we just can’t seem to hone
And instruments like triple necked trombones made of recycled robotic bones
Rockstar aliens playing in bands and doing gigs on planets in neighbouring zones
A gigantic galactic space tour to call their own and silver and chrome skyscraper cities to rock and roam
