Change

Verse 1
It starts right deep inside of me, a true grasp on identity
The present moment is the place to be, regardless of who's watching me
It’s plain to see, comprehensively, no real gain comes easily
Whether to the left or right of me, time in motion, truly free
To persevere is the truest reward, ride this train be truly on board
This right here to truly afford, come together, one accord
A single mind retrain able, good grades are attainable
Accomplish the impossible, you can be unstoppable
A single step to take, of directions moving on
Keep it moving in forward motion, articulate my song
With an aim of harmony, we can but soldier on
We must create a place, with a feeling to belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change
Constant force, there’s always change
Release control with all the change
For yes in time we can truly change
Smaller change, greater change
So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

There are challenges that are facing me, complex to simplicity
Teams move forward socially, share discussions vocally
To stand as one, it’s just begun
Separation can’t become
A team with victory truly won
A united cause, brought as one
Determination is the real deal, certified replacing the seal
Energy the people can feel
A new beginning, fresh appeal
A brand new chapter practical
Solutions that are workable
Greatness is achievable
Concepts are conceivable
A new journey to take, whether short or whether long
Keep on moving forward, embracing a new song
With amicability, we all will progress on
Let’s create a place, with a feeling to belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change
Constant force, there’s always change
Release control with all the change
For yes in time we can truly change
Smaller change, greater change
So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

Chorus
There is ever present change, many thoughts to rearrange
Together we can change the world, let’s rewrite the page
There are many forms of strong, yet we all must soldier on
Together as one, together as one
For each and every fight, is a chance to so unite
Every lesson in the wrong, it can be rendered right
There is opportunity, be the change you want to see
Let’s set ourselves free, let’s set ourselves free
In time, beyond the impossible
Breaking through every obstacle
By faith from the intangible
Objects, they are exchangeable
Yet lives are irreplaceable
Real change is attainable

Verse 2
To offer forth a helping hand, notions yet to understand
To be welcomed in a foreign land, disharmony is sinking sand
It’s clear to see, comprehensively, operate more tactfully
With wisdom understandably, let the innocent be truly free
A greater love that can’t be defined, to comprehend the passage of time
Appreciation truly is mine, reverence beyond the sky
Of nature undeniable, progress transformational
Advancing the responsible, of wonderment sensational
A single step to take, cultivated going strong
Keep it moving in forward motion, can we all just get along
With advancing harmony, on a road that may be long
Let’s now create a place, with a feeling to belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change
Constant force, there’s always change
Release control with all the change
For yes in time we can truly change
Smaller change, greater change
So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

Advancing with a point of view, discernment of what’s really true
Comprehension of what’s true for you, of new horizons to ensue
With a faculty of proficiency, movements of efficiency
With complex capability, time in motion, skillfully
Experience that can be applied, universal always onside
Letting go of innermost pride
Truthfulness, no need to hide
Application practical, let your goals be reachable
In him all things possible, passionately powerful
With awareness to awake, with weakness rendered strong
Keep moving in forward motion, articulate my song
With all tranquillity, uncover what is wrong
We can now create a place, with a feeling to belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change
Constant force, there’s always change
Release control with all the change
For yes in time we can truly change
Smaller change, greater change
So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

Chorus
There is ever present change, many thoughts to rearrange
Together we can change the world, let’s rewrite the page
There are many forms of strong, yet we all must soldier on
Together as one, together as one
For each and every fight, is a chance to so unite
Every lesson in the wrong, it can be rendered right
There is opportunity, be the change you want to see
Let’s set ourselves free, let’s set ourselves free
In time, beyond the impossible
Breaking through every obstacle
By faith from the intangible
Objects, they are exchangeable
Yet lives are irreplaceable
Real change is attainable

Verse 3
Let actions be effectual, real change be perpetual
Creative with the intellectual, let guidance be instructional
Be rational, co-operational, shared ideas are practical
Measuring the mathematical, alignment formational
Aiming high reach for the sky
Given standards you can defy
With courage here the aim is to try
Moving forward, mystify
Far from the undesirable, feelings unreliable
Testing the improbable, reality is changeable
A bolder step to take, of directions moving strong
You can always go beyond the place that you came from
With realised clarity, we gain sense of the wrong
Let’s now create a place, where we can all belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change
Constant force, there’s always change
Release control with all the change
For yes in time we can truly change
Smaller change, greater change
So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

Change may be uncomfortable, let fear be inexcusable
Steer from the reprehensible, payback is repayable
To so forgive, inexhaustible
Of oneness that is plausible, the broken rectifiable
Connected, relational
Associate and we can relate, don’t waste time, a pitiless state
Memories that we cannot retake, in position, get in place
Abundance that is plentiful, examples observational
Joyfulness obtainable, experience the seasonal
Of actions yet to take, we’re keeping the game strong
Keep moving in forward motion, wherever you came from
With avid harmony, we all will soldier on
We can now create a place, with a feeling to belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change
Constant force, there’s always change
Release control with all the change
For yes in time we can truly change
Smaller change, greater change
So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

Bridge

With mind-sets evolved, there is true insight
Let’s create a place, to truly shine our light
There is wisdom to release, to regain our inner peace
Together as one, together as one
Compassion in the land, with a heart to understand
A true united force, let’s lend a helping hand
With due simplicity, re-establish harmony
Let’s set ourselves free, let’s set ourselves free
True change may be uncomfortable
Yet it is unmistakeable
New steps that are approachable
Of thoughts from the conventional
Mindful and relatable
Hopeful and aspirational

Verse 4
To go beyond, no greater time, reclaim your light it’s time to shine
In relaxed mode we will decline, natural gems can be refined
Branch of the vine, be aligned
Masterpieces of design, purposed for potential prime
Stand in line, for such a time
Become a part of the solution, let’s create a revolution
Educate the institution, truly merge into a fusion
Reduce the confrontational, join the inspirational
Movement motivational, achieve the aspirational
The journey will be great, endurance may be long
Keep moving in forward motion, can we all just get along
With solid harmony, a team can become strong
Let's now create a place, with the option to belong
Of problems to be solved, of all the games to win
If the foundation is laid, by then we can begin
A sense of harmony, let's take the vision on
Let’s now create a place, where the people can belong


Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change
Constant force, there’s always change
Release control with all the change
For yes in time we can truly change
Smaller change, greater change
So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

Chorus
There is ever present change, many thoughts to rearrange
Together we can change the world, let’s rewrite the page
There are many forms of strong, yet we all must soldier on
Together as one, together as one
For each and every fight, is a chance to so unite
Every lesson in the wrong, it can be rendered right
There is opportunity, be the change you want to see
Let’s set ourselves free, let’s set ourselves free
In time, beyond the impossible
Breaking through every obstacle
By faith from the intangible
Objects, they are exchangeable
Yet lives are irreplaceable
Real change is attainable

Myriah May 2015
I'm all out of emotions
There's nothing left
Onside of me
I'm completely
Over you

I'm empty and clear as water
I've no desire for you
Leave me alone
To be with my insanity
By Myriah young & Anthony mooney
If this ground could open up a hollow
I'd swallow my pride and get onside
the others are sure to follow.

We cast shadows and fail to reel them in.

And it's snowing on the underground
falling gently
bound to me and silently I watch or do these eyes of mine deceive?

It's Monday?
I do believe it so to be,
the weekend fell away and
yet we
go on as if we were this turning wheel,
is each revolution really real or
just more snow?

It's Monday,
I believe it so to be
but
still snowing.

I must be getting very old
skin so thick
can't feel the cold
I must be getting very old
repeating things I've read
or wrote?

I note
still snowing though,
UnveilRose Dec 2018
A path where everyone have to walk
But no-one knows what's onward

Just a talk or hand to deathbed
Just a glimpse or onside to lifetime

You should have patience to unveil
You should have essence to feel

Unraveling the best and preparing for the worst
Myriah Mar 2015
Broken and bruised
onside of me
For so long I took the punches
I felt like was paralyzed  
Trapped inside of your box
I can't take anymore
It's maddest like a earthquake
Hand over heart, I'm praying
That I'm gonna make it out alive
You got me scattered in pieces
Shining like stars and screaming
Lightening me up like Venus.

But... NEVER Resort...
To Refusing To Show...
That Humans Have Shown...
That We’re Gonna Pay Tolls...
  
For Making BAD Choices... !!!
  
When It Comes To The Voices...
We Choose To Make Moves...
  
In Ways That CLEARLY...
AREN’T... Nice And Snuggly... !!!
  
So What’s With This Need...
For What's... Light And Fluffy... ?!?  
  
In Poetry Written...
About How We’re Living...
  
From Gender To Women... !!!
  
When Roasting’s FORGIVEN...
And Is NOT Forbidden... ?!?
In Verse Built For DISSING...
That’s Clearly HARD Hitting...
And Quite UNFORGIVING... !!!
  
Due To... Opinions...
That Give Criticisms... !!!
  
That Are NOT...
... “ Light And Fluffy “... !!!
  
Well To Me Something’s WRONG...
When People Think ******’s...
What Makes Poems COOL...
And Good To Be Used...
On... Radio Shows... !?!
  
Instead of The JOKES...
Now Running Countries... ?!?
  
I’ve Said It Before...
ISN'T Poetry’s Cause...
To Feed Something MORE... !?!
In Its Subject Matter...
Than Frivolous Chatter...
And Poetic BANTER... ?!?
  
That’s DARK But LACKS PANTHERS...
Who’ll Stand Up To Those...
Who Wear Police Clothes... !!!
  
Who BREAK Peoples Hearts...
And Leave PERMANENT MARKS... !!!
  
When They Leave Lives SHATTERED... !!!
TATTERED And FORLORN... !!!
  
Isn’t THAT What This Art Form...  
Is... ACTUALLY For... ?!?
  
Is Critical Thinking NOT Cool Anymore... ?!?
Because Light And Fluffy Is Now What Is Poured...
Into The Psyches of Those Treading Lightly...
  
When It Comes To The Dummies...
Now Making BAD CALLS...
That Are HURTING Us All... !!!
  
Is It... BRIGHT And LOVELY...
When Their Plans ENFORCE...
... COMPULSORY Orders...
And PREJUDICED Laws... !!!
  
The MAJORITY Clearly...
DON’T See The Shortfalls...
And Future PITFALLS...
of Things That May SERIOUSLY...
  
Leave Freedoms FORLORN... !!!
  
Because of This NONSENSE...
That Seems To Be STOPPING...
  
Free Speech From Being RAW...
And A Critically POWERFUL Force... !!!
  
That Inspires DEEP Thoughts...
Instead of Fuelling WARS... !!!
  
But This CANNOT Happen...
If Critical Talk Is Simply Cut Short...
And NOT Heard Anymore... !!!
  
Because of OFFENCE...
That It’s Likely To Cause...
  
Well These Words MUST Be Said... !!!
What Kind of WEAK Thinking...
Leaves Conscious Thoughts SINKING... ?!?
  
When It Comes To This World...
And How It Now Turns... ?!?
  
This Pattern DISTURBS...
When It Comes To The Verse...
That's Fed To The HERDS...
  
Who DON’T Seem To Like...
... DEEP REALITY Rhymes... !!!
  
Because Their Faith's Placed...
In Political Games And Religious Faiths...
That CLAIM... " God Is Great "... !!!
  
But Then DISGRACE His Name...
With How They Behave... !?!
And What They’ve Embraced...
That’s Been Hidden Away... !!!!!
  
Until Those ABUSED...
Were BRAVE And Spoke TRUTH... !!!
  
I Hope That These Words...
Will NOT Go UNHEARD... !!!
  
Simply Because...
They Speak About WRONGS...
That Have Gone On For TOO LONG... !!!
  
And... CONTINUE To Do... !!!
  
So To ALL of These Crews...
Who Run Online Groups...
  
That Now Apply RULES...
That RESTRICT Certain Issues...
From Being... Perused...
  
These Words Are For YOU... !!!
  
There Is Much MORE That’s UGLY... !!!
Than There Is... Stuff That’s LOVELY... !!!
  
That’s Seen In This World...
That DOES NEED To Be Heard...
As Well As... Observed...
  
From Political Vibes...
To Those That Incite...
Some People To Fight...
When They Hear Words of Rhyme...
  
So It's Really NOT WISE...  
... To Try To DENY...
Verse That Speaks About Life... !!!
  
To Keep People ONSIDE... !!!
  
Everybody CAN’T LIKE...
What Another May Write... !!!
  
So RESTRICTIONS Applied...
Maybe Should Be DENIED... ?!?
  
Because What You Will Find...
Is That Within Mankind...
Everything Is NOT NICE...
And CLEARLY NOT Lovely... !!!
  
So STOP Restricting Lines...
Like Those of This Kind...
  
Because Poetic Vibes....
CANNOT ALWAYS Bring Smiles...
  
And Be... “ NICE “...  
  
... “ Light And Fluffy “... !!!
It's a trend I see becoming more and more prevalent when it comes to the art of poetic expression. It's all good when music surrounds to soften the lyrical content, however, when it's just the words, it doesn't seem to be quite as welcome, so this poem looks into why that may be, and more....

Blessed are the sign makers
for they shall do overtime
social distancing notices
and warnings galore…
means extra work
for those who hope to inform.
Reflecting the changes
in a mixed up world…
There’s serif, sans serif, cursive,
leaded, kerned, font smoothed, curled.
Helvetica, Univers, Futura & Gill
Classic fonts urging you -  Stand Still!…
Don’t cross that line…
Follow the science… Divine!
Do the 2 metre 2 step
the 1 metre Shimmy…
The retailers are back
saying Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.
Women want to shop…
Blokes just want to be blokes
and stand outside!
It’s a sign of the times folks…Stay Out!
Onside!
Goal!!!
However many trades hit the economic wall
the signmakers & writers out there, they’ll outlive us all!
Blessed are the sign makers!
Some people have been doing very well out of lockdown

There's a right side that we all try to keep on and a wrong side that we hope to stay away from and then there's the night tide which brings in the demons,

jesus
well, there is a bright side somewhere off the edge,
out there when the sun shines,

there are usually three sides, especially in a triangle
a menage a... something or other
when it's someone or other
other than someone and other,

this is sinking init?

never mind, I've sunk more times than this,

yes, I did mention four sides.
but not the inside or outside
the left or the blind side
which makes a lot of sides.
I'm onside with that.

Rainy Night
31 June 2021

Cold from the north brought the rain.
At the window, trees shivered the low.
Somewhere hurt, pain again.
Alone awind lonely flow.
Dreams are hard to find, rainy nights.

She was in my bed, making me restless.
Asleep, deep in another world, crying.
Through the door slats, nightmare Crept, holding her unstirring.
Drops rat-tat onside, this rainy night’s cold light.

Ashes in the fireplace, gray in that way,
Reminding flames past didn’t last.
Heat played astray.
Half-empty glasses, chocolate mark sash.
Shoulders low, head bowed, cold rainy night.

Funny how the room emptied.
Echoed songs unheard, still waiting their turn.
Such cold rainy nights, love’s heat denied.
Cold night’s burn, nothing learned.
Could just be the weather.

— The End —
