Where I've been I don't want to go b--k
What I've seen I can't re--act
All moves on
All goes to past
H---ing on to dreams
Tales that never l---

I stand alone
A shadow
In empty streets
No movement
To betray
My reality
I observe
How my world
Now
Seems to be

in the darkness
I sit
I wait
for what
I don't know
why are we here
we are surplus to requirements in a world that does not need us
all life has a purpose
except
humans
what do we contribute to the planet but grief
war
destruction
self interest
nothing of value to the existence of Earth
and yet
we have the arrogance to suggest we are the solution
GO FIGURE

Life's too short for dreams and schemes
Let's get real and push extremes
Take a chance while there's still time
Spontaneity loves tasting the wine

Draw upon the dreams of time gone by
Every day the spirit lives
It screams
Let me
Reach for the sky

Apparently I've been pre approved
My profile assessed while being viewed
I seem to be a decent gent
But they might have missed the time I spent
At Her Majesty's Pleasure for a small discretion
Obtaining money by fraudulent deception
j a connor Jul 2021
Within a music of connections
Resonating freely in time
Notes appear
Moments of memory that were thought lost
Gone
Forever
Moving through gaps in a cosmic ocean
Reappearing in the dreams of someone new

This is the symphony of being
Connected with the new/old
A dosage of life never repeated in the same time

This is the Uni-Verse

Don't shoot
But the camera fires
Another life changed
Another reputation dead

Be lucky to have life to live
For
A walk through the cemetery
Projects a reflection of impermanence

How many faces will you wear today?
Depends who you see, depends what you say
Intentions may be good, judgement may be wrong
It's difficult pleasing everyone, trying to get along

as all around deals misery
through closed eyes

peace is alive

look within
the outside will die

My thoughts are a lost ocean
Seeking passage through winding canyons
Leading back to the source
The source of creation as perceived by the regimented structure of modern life ?
Modern life that views man's achievements as a eureka moment
A life that requires an explanation for all occurrences
I must climb deeper to the peak of this inverted mountain
To a time of wonder
No boundaries
Unprogrammed
It is almost within reach
In this depth lies the truth
j a connor Nov 2023
I am not patient
Except when I am
I am not tolerant
But accept that I can be
I Love
But
Is it for personal gain
I cry
But
Is it to free my own pain
Do I go against all that I should be
Or
Do I realise
Through all my searching
That I find
I am
Who

I remember a time when you had to go look for information
now it is inescapable
we are overloaded to a point of no return
short-circuited into believing all is lost
unsure how to fit in
to be accepted
driven by things outwith
unable to speak for fear of being shut down

STOP
CEASE
DESIST

switch off
breathe
relax
look at the world that is yours
deal with only what you can effect
live again
