Little brother, little better
To My Brother
As we know, I've struggled on
fighting demons of every size,
But it was the action of my little brother
that made me feel alive.
What a blessing you are to all that you touch,
your strength comes as such surprise,
Because only we can see the fire
that's burning deep within your eyes.
Made from love, yet the start of your life

Some folks
You See,
Some folks can be devastatingly destructive,
Some folks can be passionately productive,
Some folks are designed to live with the demons they're stuck with,
Some folks persistently deny the positives.
Some folks are not fit and healthy,
Some folks are sickly wealthy,
Most folks are ultimately empty,
And leave this world without a penny.
So...

For Susan
It was today, Susan, my darling we all came to say goodbye.
Pictures of you adorned this place, with smiles bright in your eyes.
To carry on with the day, I know we all will try.
Now you're a real-life dancing angel, soaring in the sky.
The echoes of your laughter linger, your warmth will never fade.
We’ll hold you close within our hearts, in every step we take.

The good fight
Firefighters fight fires,
Freedom fighters fight liars,
Fight to fulfill your wild desire—
I fight for reasons much higher.
Not for conquest, nor for greed,
But for the justice some still need.
Against deceit, against despair,
Against the weight some cannot bear.
Physical strikes performed with precision,
A mental fight will make you question ...

Unshaken, I Rise
Inside me, something is starting to wake,
It moves with such purpose the world it did shake.
A truth I hold dearly, no two men could take,
Defying all reason, these choices I make.
My emotions could fill up most of this room,
Whether frowning or smiling, most might presume,
I'm drowning in sorrow while singing in tune,
My end a beginning that started too soon.

Happy is he who leads
I don't have millions, yet I could save these civilians.
Upon my cross, I bear witness clear,
To fractured ties and love insincere.
Fathers who falter, mothers who stray,
Brothers who chase bold courage away.
Desperation drives us to toil nine-to-five,
Depression our wage for so much wasted time.
Will this world ever be mine?
So many are waiti...

Dion
I want a Celine Dion type of love
Musical, memorable, completely uncontrollable,
A love to show them all,
Sensible, spiritually meaningful, tangible.
A love that's free, with no fee,
Only as good as the one who loves me.
Who depends on me, sings with me, burns with me,
A creative spirit that soars on high,
Only to fly home to me by and by.
So m...

The simple differences
Whilst my lot had pillaged and scarred,
Her lot held fortunes, the gilded guard.
Could love like ours ever find its place,
When worlds collide in a tender embrace?
The thief and the rose, a tale retold,
Beauty and the beast, both brave and bold.
Cinderella and her midnight thief,
Bound by a love that defied belief.
A pauper's hand in a princess's c...

What will be is
The best way to be
Is unchained from the TV.
Trust me,
There’s nothing gained from watching warring nations
Trade patience for desperation,
Turning lives into numbers through hollow salvation.
The ones who remain,
Fragments of God’s creation,
Won’t find leaders in the ashes of a police station.
Am I making statements? Move over.
There are no l...

Best foot forward
An Experience we all go through,
Sometimes forgetting,
The dangers were exposed to,
Like desperately waiting for someone to phone you,
Just another shoe, removed to put upon another's foot,
Didn't look before leaping now that can put pay to your evening, leaving many road workers realing.
À jump to which we tried to raise awareness to walk on a le...
