Lately I get a strange feeling
This place doesn't feel good anymore
Everything seems awkward
All common senses are misplaced

I have been asking myself lately
Am I still happy here?
Do I belong still ?
Why do I feel like a man stuck inside a ladies bathroom ?

I cannot control my depression
Melancholy gets the better of me
All these strange people I do not know
Speaking this strange tongue to my face

I should be happy
I should be feeling good about life
I should disguise my sadness with smiles
I should drown my despair with hope

I am dying slowly in this place
Sorrow is siphoning my life away
Darkness and weeping harass me
All hope is dimming right before me

I must escape from this strange place
Sail into the sunset of my life
To a world I can call my own
Where joy grows on trees like leaves
And rainbows are part of every day

Asia the beautiful
A fusion of the south and the east
The middle ground of the world
Welcomed by a million smiles

Asia the great
A place where the sun is always shy
Hovering above the clouds
Ministering it's vice all day long

Asia the jewel of the world
The factory of the world
Shining it's radiance to the corners of the earth
Always up early
Running ahead of the rest
Time flying faster than a dream

Asia the glorious
The biggest of them all
Majestic in every way
Uniting the world in silent diplomacy

In a place between dreams and reality I  hear a rhythm so perfect
A tune in sync with my spirit
Composed by my innermost being

In a place between the living and the sleeping
I hear a beautiful symphony
Playing a majestic song that proclaims me king
In that place I am a god
My wishes materialize
My days are all powerful

In that secret place between my soul and my mind
I think genius, I see the light, I am pure
I write the song that touches all hearts
It heals the world

In that amazing place
I see the beauty of the world
I see the the world dance in union
All the pain gone
All is well

A growl here another there
The whole system in anguish
Oh the noise, unbearable noise
Supplies are running low!
Feed us! Feed us!

The message is sent to the mind
The stomach feels abnormal
And the rest of the body awkward
Energy is rationed
Muscles start to weaken
The laughter and smiles cease

Hunger kills good nature
Hunger turns into annoyance
Annoyance into anger
Anger into a cry of relief
The cry brings food
Food brings calm
Calm brings sanity

A sudden tingle in the belly
A storm is slowly brewing
Pain and suffering follows
The rustling of a thousand cattle

The embarrassing walk to the pit
That shameful squat to eject
Out of sight from the world
A private war between man and waste

Rumbling and shaking from within
A belly possessed by a beast
The beast must be exorcised
The pain gets intense

Then it starts to come out
Slowly and hard at first
The uncontrollable rush begins
The beast is slowly released

Then silence follows
All seems well again
That hurtful feast is dumped
Away it goes down the drain

Who knows what life is
Who knows if reality exists
It could be all be one big lie
A dream within a dream

Are feelings and emotions real
Do we feel sad and happy
Or we are programmed to believe we do
Are we not machines with no body and soul

Are we not players in an eternal maze
Merely victims of a mind game
Running about to no avail
What's important is not!

Who knows if there is life beyond the grave
What if we are programs
Every aspect of our being coded
What is real is not!

Time flies faster than we realise
Seems you were born last Tuesday  
Fresh from heaven
You are a dream!

Days passed and turned into weeks
Those weeks flew by
Your first milestone  at 90 days
Growing up so much, very quick

Today you have turned 1
The most beautiful baby boy ever
Your will, passion and strength visible
My son, my legacy - Nathan Ishe Eddie

Your future is brilliant and grand
Be blessed a million times more
Conquer, dominate and take over the world
The sky is no limit for you

Here's to celebrating you
And wishing you a happy 1st birthday

Love

Dad
