Tiny Child.
Oh tiny child I apologise,
For the fear and the hatred that I rain from your skies,
As outside of your door is a man with gun,
And he has to punished for what he has done.
So I'll deny your freedom, I'll deny your health,
I'll deny your share of our fabulous wealth,
Remove all of your bed time books from the shelf,
When I deny your freedom I'm protecting myself.
I'm told that your father he started this war,
It was never to clear what we are fighting for,
So until that is known dear remain on the floor,
Neath the shells and munitions I ship from my shore,
Oh tiny child I apologise,
For the fear and the hatred that I rain from your skies,
As outside of your door is a man with gun,
And he has to punished for what he has done.
A being so new dear do you understand,
That the hunger you feel is placed there by my hand,
That water you lack,
The nutrition you need,
Is for filling my countries insatiable greed,
Everyday filth runs pass feet in your class room,
Every day stench in your nose,
Everyday disease touches your family,
Everyday wearing the same filthy clothes,
Everyday I am ignoring the pictures,
Everyday I am ignoring the news,
Wasting abusing, procrastinating,
Forgotten empathy seldom gets used,
Oh tiny child I apologise,
For the fear and the hatred that I rain from your skies,
As outside of your door is a man with gun,
And he has to punished for what he has done.
A Muse.
A certain something in your eyes,
Lifts heavy heart towards the skies,
Reminds a man this world of lies,
Has truth that's beautiful.
A moments breath that's out of time,
A given instant intertwined,
I simply find I do not mind,
Here's truth that beautiful.
Those windows of the soul reveal a spirit free,
To float across the room and place a kiss on me,
I cannot hear a single sound,
Or feel my feet upon the ground,
My simple heart know's it has found,
A truth thats beautiful.
I forget the time of day,
And find I've no more words to say,
All that I've known has flown away,
On truth thats beautiful.
Those windows of the soul reveal a spirit free,
To float across the room and place a kiss on me,
From the universes birth of creativity,
To the poets final bow to the infinity,
One single glance is all it took,
To bring that ego back to book,
To lift that heart up of that hook,
With truth thats beautiful,
There I was looking at a place,
A breath beyond this time and space,
With open eyes the human race,
Is true and beautiful,
Those windows of the soul reveal a spirit free,
To float across the room and place a kiss on me,
I pray that I will stay for an eternity,
A truth full pupil seeing all he has to see,
I see,
Those widows of the soul,
The spirit free,
I see,
The ancient past unfold inside of me,
I see
This moments magic makes infinity,
When I see that certain something in your eyes,
It's truth and beauty that I see.
