Follow the road behind my eyes (1)

Profile
I live in a forest
on an island in Greece
I have nothing worth anything
in this tent that I live in
I get fed by people
whom I call friends
this is a life
I never intended
it just happened to be
on the same path as me
as I try to understand
all the unintended things
that has brought me
to this point
at this time
in this life
that I live
Follow The Road
Behind my eyes

Sayings
by
William Andrews
These words are dedicated
to the free thinking people
and to the ones
who have yet
to breathe
To the ones
who find it hard
to think
my suggestion is simple
Do not read

The maze
Through the maze
of uncertainty's
through the pain
and the fear
through the valley
of broken promises
and the friendships
they wear
on the banks
of wishful thinking
with our bridges
burning clear
we slowly start
to wonder
why
are we here
Disgrace
Who could understand
the lies
who would have a tear
to cry
when you meet
that lonely face
in the morning
of your disgrace
So sure
On our line
of understanding
how can we be
so sure
that all
that has happened
has not happened
before

Bars
Looking through these bars
of our own design
wishful thinking
our only crime
with sadness
are these steps we take
through the ruins
of our past mistakes
a skeletal grasp
our only line
away from the chaos
of our paranoid mind
Fact
To damage a fact
you must first
ignore its need
to speak
Nodding dog
Do you play
the nodding dog
for a little pleasure
and a soft pillow
do you get
that creepy despair
when you look in the mirror
and there is
nobody there
Cannot be
Could you relax
to the fact
that cannot be
denied
that the life you feel
is the one
that you hide
Rules
There is a race
within a race
that rules the race
that doesn't know

Refuse
It is only
when we look
deep into the eyes
in the mirror
that we finally see
the questions
to the answers
that we
refuse to speak
Flame
We are given
fool's gold
and like moths
to the flame
we fly
Pretend
To be in denial
is to pretend
to pretend
is to act
to act often
becomes a belief
that you can see
the road ahead
when it is only an echo
of where you fear to tread
Dry
Deep in your head
you know
this well of dreams
is dry
Deserves
Riches deserves wisdom
honesty deserves peace

Human
Because you are
genetically human
doesn't mean
that you are
To far
I'll help you out
I’ll help you out
I will not
let you drown
from within
I’ll help you back
to these muddy shores
for your heaven
is too far to swim
Lines
Between the lines
of which you speak
betrays the one
who believed
Between
Tomorrow
hasn't happened
today
has just begun
and the hours
that lay between
will decide
what fate will bring
a changing of your life
or just a change of dreams

Hole
Why do you refuse
to see
it is not your hole
that sets you free
but what you feel
when you see
that the one that loves
actually believes
you are a beautiful
human being
Why
Why do we
recreate
the same place
that we left
The game
Are our feelings
speaking a language
we don't even try
to understand
are our morals
still preaching
tomorrow
we will stand
while our empathy
plays the game
of trying
to hide the pain
that drips
silently
from the corner
of our desperate eyes
that are slowly
becoming blind

Gently
Quietly
do we float
within the seas of hope
slowly drifting down
where our hope
slowly drowns
as the weight
of our wishful thinking
gently tugs
our shallow thoughts
into the dark
cold abyss
that waits
for the words
that we preach
Afraid
Afraid to sleep
to disturb the dream
that when I awake
you'll be gone
just the smell of your breath
lingering
on my pillow of sorrow
Still sound
The bones
of democracy
are still sound
it is the flesh
that grows upon it
that has become
diseased
and weak
that bends the spine
to what we were
before

Another page
At what level
do we vibrate
in our
psychological state
what feelings
do we create
to cover our mistakes
that we ignorantly made
to calm
our shallow thoughts
that scream in rage
every time
we try
to turn another page
Tunnels
Do we still swim
in the dark
submerged cold tunnels
within
the back of our mind
desperately searching
for the one
that will take us
to the front
where the light
of common sense
still shines
Jungle
Manmade jungles
just twisted reflections
of nature's selections

Sympathy
Is this
all we have
sympathy
for the innocent
who are being broken
and starved
dreaming
the same dream
of eating the food
that we
throw in the bin
is this
all we have
a strong hope
that we proudly present
to strangers
and friends
while our feelings
sadly sit back
and watch our ignorant
shallow thoughts
entertaining our mind
on how to pretend
that we
with our pride
change lifes
How is it
Could somebody
please tell me
because
I find it hard
to understand
how is it
that people say
they work hard
for the future
of their child
yet leave the future
of their freedom
out on the cold
concrete streets
to be hunted
by the wall street wolfs
like sheep

Our world
Is everything rosy
in your
sad little world
where we help you
to train your children
the ignorance
they deserve
where we train you
to believe
the mouthpiece
that you see
on your T.V. Screen
where the commercials
we apply
are wonderfully designed
to slowly crush
your common sense
state of mind
so we can begin
the final phase
of taking you back
to the good old days
the Victorian age
when it was only us
and the little people
our subservient
economic
slaves
Mixed
When you have schools
within the western world
not mixed
with different
or close to
equal parts
it can no longer
be classed
as a school of learning

First
If you wish
to satisfy a need
that cannot speak
first you must
understand
what it thinks
Dust
Our continuous thoughts
of we will
are just
dust in the wind
from the skeletal bones
of maybe one day
we will
keep the promises
we gave
Faithful
Will our line of thinking
always be paved
with the broken bones
of our weak intent
where our faithful promises
that we give like sweets
to starving kids
now lays bleeding
upon the altar
slowly dripping
into our wine cup
that runneth over
in our church
of let's pretend
The list
Are you now
on the list
of empathy's shadows
where your broken accord
festers
in a dark corner
of your mind

Slowly
How can one use
a belief
that clearly doesn't work
to fix a system
of illusions
that are slowly
becoming broken
Sad
When one becomes subject
to things outside
one's control
one tends to start praying
to things
that one secretly knows
only exists
within a wish
that brings upon
a sad belief
that it is
Gaze
Do you feel
comfortable
within these walls
where you sit
do you feel
satisfied
when you look through
these dirty
cracked windows
of your life
gazing
at all the hopes and promises
that you faithfully made
to the reflection
that still patiently waits
for the day you complete
the things
that you say

You
It is not the path
that you walk
that is crumbling
and cracked
it is you
Nothing
Life in shallow waters
always brings a degree
when the things
that you wish for
brings nothing yet to be
Your friend
Is it us
who puts the fear of loneliness
before the voice of reason
is it us
who puts the fear
of looking ignorant
in the eyes of others
before our logical common sense
is it us
who fears the freedom
of our feelings
that whisper
if you listen
to what is written
your mind
will become your friend

Touch it
When you touch it
how does it feel
when you hold it
do you sense its worth
in weight in gold
your empathy
that you hold in your hands
that trembles with the shame
of not being what you claim
as your fingers slowly unfold
to watch what is worth
more than gold
slowly fall and shatter
upon the barren lands
of twisted thoughts
that softly whisper
you are now free
to be me
Scabby
When someone
you think you care for
becomes scabby
don't wait
for scabs to fall
peel back a few
take a look
is this the one you want

Deathbed
Do they tell you
that you still have time
to save your soul
as you lay
on your death bed
with your will
that they hold
with their soft
skeletal
pious words
leaning over
your dying eyes
whispering
into your desperate ears
your sins
will be cleansed
when you sign
Tax
What price do we set
for the way
we live our life
how much tax
do we demand
from our morals
that can no longer
stand
when we forced
common sense and reason
to walk
the cold dark streets
prostituting themselves
for those
with twisted needs
Question
When we start to question
asking the reasons why
do we slowly become aware
that our logical common sense
is still alive
clawing its way up
the crumbling cliff
from our comfortably numb
abyss

It will
One night
it will happen
i will
follow me
to see
where i go
when i sleep
Strange
Is it not strange
the places we travel
within the thoughts
that run around our head
Story
Is it not the simple stories
that bring the heavy thoughts
crashing upon the shores
of your mind
No return
Are you not now
at the point of no return
where the things
that you wished for
now slowly burn
in a broken reflection
of a broken dream
that lay
forever buried
in thoughts
that continue to scream
Dark side
When you summon evil
it is not
the devil you get
but the dark side of humanity
and if you succeed
you will wish it was the devil
you released

The river
Do we not keep
our fears close
and our denial closer
as we try to cross
the river that whispers
there is life
on the other side
for here
your denial shall drown
for without denial
there is no fear
in the belief
you cannot change
the things
that has brought you
to this point
at this time
in this life
that you live
The box
Every single box
that pandora thought of
we have now found
and like greedy little children
we open the boxes
wide
and look in
dread and despair
at the body of our phoenix
laying dead
in there
Roost
Will the day
that you thought
would never arrive
come back to roost
on your twisted pride
that breaks you down
to the basic facts
that you are not
how you act

Twist
Refusing a fact
will only twist
your reason
Illegal
Common sense
is illegal
compliant
you must be
if you wish
to survive
in the lands
of the free
Oneself
It is
when one finds it hard
to believe in oneself
it is then
one shall be chained
to a false history
that explains
one must believe
if one wishes to be free
from ones doubt
despair
lack of liberty
that one brings upon oneself
when one believes
in oneself
Echo
How long
will you continue
to cry in the dark
waiting
for that echo
that will bring a spark
to relight the flames
in this stone cold part
of your heart

Anything
When one
doesn't remember
one tends to believe
in anything
Shines
Deep down
inside us all
we are like children
scared and alone
within a mind
that has yet to grow
into a mass conscious
where freedom shines
like a beautiful
sunny day
Crossroads
How much longer
do i stand
at the crossroads
of future plans
within the shadow
of this skeletal tree
waiting
for someone
like me
Within
Are there not times
when you wish
you could just drift
within the wind
that lightly blows
across a soul
that slowly grows
within
Flash
Hope is like
a flash in a pan
looks pretty
feels warm
but not for long

No peace
If there is no peace
between what you feel
and what you do
how can there be
peace
between how you live
and what you think
Wide eyed
Please don't
please don't break
what you refuse
to understand
Please don't
please don't make
pain
for the one
shaking in the corner
whimpering
like a wounded animal
staring wide eyed
in fear
at your hand
Describe
Was there a specific meaning
to the thoughts
that you were thinking
when you tried
to describe
your state of mind
on the things
that give you
feelings
Undefined
Is it not tragic
that the magic
is being squeezed
from our race
the reason undefined
as we squeeze
the life
from life

Close
How can you
presuppose
when there are those
who oppose
the ones
who are close
to understanding
the meaning
of having
feelings
Bleeding
Why do we continue
to drag our fears
from the past
into the present
where they bleed
into the future
where our children
reap
all the fears
that we sow
Time
Are you weeping
in your thinking
that time
will stand by you
as the fear invades
the sagging embrace
of the skin
that you face
Crying
Can you not feel
that it is me
crying
from behind your eyes
when you gaze
upon a reflection
of a tired
fading
lonely smile

Slide
It is when
one starts to slide
does one start
to change
where ones lack of empathy
begins to feed
on the feelings
that should be making
one weep
Drugs
Hope
like any other
psychological drug
taken
when it should not be used
brings a thin skin of happiness
that you assume
runs deep
as despair
claws its way up
from your abyss
to lay claim
to the hope
that you wished
Your wall
Does your skin
sometimes crawl
when you feel
behind your eyes
something
climbing over your wall
something
you never meant
to call
Hard
If the face of fact
is hard to look at
then your belief
in hope
does not exist

Humanity
Everyone must know
who they are
everyone must know
the price
they will pay
when humanity and family
become a minority
within the majority
of the human race
Plastic
Why is it
we continue to believe
that if we look long enough
through these windows
of plastic dreams
they will
come to be
while our children
slowly freeze
on these hard concrete streets
where our wishes
do nothing
but slowly bleed
through the cracks
of our ignorant belief
December
Is it not
a crying shame
that empathy
and morals
are only allowed
to breed
one month
of the year
and then die
on the second day
of the new

Empty
Not all of us
are running on empty
most of us
are still running
on dreams
The path
You do not follow
the path
that you walk
it is the path
that follows you
The flag
Have you hung
the flag
of surrender
outside
your prison home
in a country
where your freedom
still believes
in hope
Know
In life
you presume
in death
you know
We try
How can we
protect
the children
when the very people
we are trying
to protect them from
are the very people
their parents
voted
for

Strung out
Does the strength
of your belief
become nothing
but a strung out myth
sinking
into promises
of better days
Charter
If there is
no charter
of community's rights
then there are
no people's rights
if there is
no charter
of a community's right
to a better way
of living
then human rights
mean
nothing
Safe
Do we not live
in the ruins
of past pious words
do we not tread
the polluted waters
of today
do we not try
to keep afloat
while we hide the fear
of drowning out here
looking
for a place
that's safe

Self
Know
thyself
heal
thyself
be
thyself
free
thyself
Priority
Is it not
the language
of your thoughts
that should given
priority
when you speak
Vow
Tell me
what is it
that you hide
behind that broken smile
that you keep
beyond your hearts reach
that you found
that breaks your vow
of being
what you think
Hollow eyes
Do you know
where you you
when you sleep
with those
hollow eyes
that deny the rights
of the thoughts
that had a dream

Rose
Do you ever get
the feeling
that you need
to give a rose
to the one who cares
what you
will become
to the one who walks
by your side
the one who whispers
words
that compromise
the growing fear
that tries to twist
the path that fits
the feeling inside
that the one
you are with
will become your desire
one heart
one rose
one fire

Not fair
Angel
why are you crying
it's not fair daddy
what's not fair angel
mummy said
I can't talk
about my pretend friends
problems
she says I'm being ignorant
it's not fair
but angel
don't you want to grow up
to be
just like mummy
I do daddy I do
but mummy has lots
of pretend friends
but I can't have any
angel
mummy doesn't have
pretend friends
yes she does daddy
mummy's on the phone for hours
talking about
her pretend friends problems
you know the one's daddy
the pretending people
on the television
Waiting
Have you waited long
with your dreams
to belong
with someone
who will help you
carry on
have you waited long
for the sun to arrive
on a life
that can begin
to grow

Words
Is there a feeling
in the meaning
of the words
I could believe in
We the people
Maybe I'm simple
but I don't understand
why do we hide
in the lands
of twisted speech
why do we hide
from the words
that will give us
a little freedom
that will make us
stand
head held high
when we see the light
within the eyes
of our child
so why do we hide
from the old
the young
the crippled
and the ones
yet to come
why do we agree
to be called words
not of our name
words
of twisted meanings
that do nothing
but decay
the very nature
of the light
that used to shine
within their eyes
that used to make us
proud to be alive
yet we hide

Create
It is when
one becomes
angry
with oneself
it is then
thou shall create
the problems
that will
surround you
Ability
Do you
have the ability
to answer the question
that has not been spoken
do you have
the ability
to see deep within
the eyes of a heart
that shines
through the eyes
of hope
Shelter
Are you my shelter
could it be you
that I need
to keep the chaos
from bending my knees
to the thoughts that continue
to try to decay
the last piece
of my mind
that still waits for the one
that will keep me
from drowning out here
in this wasteland
of skeletal tears

Simply loved
Does loneliness
surround you
do you sometimes wish
a true touch of a friend
a lover a partner
a reflection of you
that stands by your side
within your mind
deep within your soul
where your heart cries
to be
simply loved
Strength
Your strength of being
is in your reasoning
Have you
Have you ever
tried to understand
all the unintended things
that has brought you
to this point
at this time
in this life
that you live
Cover
Are you feeling
desperate
in your attempt
to find a face
that can cover
all the screaming
that echoes
in a place
that hides behind
a wall of fear
that your eyes
refuse
to face

Ajar
It is when
like a door
you stand ajar
do illogical thoughts
feel
they have something
to say
as they pass by
the mask
that you declared
is your face
Class
You have
the upper class
the middle class
and the lower class
you forget
the Judas class
the only class
where any class
can join
Shattered
History
has now become
nothing
but a shattered illusion
based upon guesses
and quiet delusions
Halfbreeds
Are we not
all halfbreeds
from races unknown
the only species
that has survived
the troubles and strife
in centuries gone by
from a patchwork
of broken memories
and forbidden
archaeology
we will
grow

Need
It is when
one is still ignorant
does one
come to believe
the twisted words
spoken by others
who are in need
of someone
to believe
Relief
There must be
doubt
before belief
questions
must be answered
before relief
Growing
The institute
of destitute
is growing
by the day
Unknown
The eyes
are not windows
to the soul
just a gateway
to a wilderness
unknown

Slowly open
It is when the door
starts to slowly open
within
our minds eye
it is then
with growing fear
we will have
to decide
will we hide
within
our house of cards
with our belief
of denial
that our denial
will last
or will the wave
of our imprisoned feelings
pass us
through the door
to a place
all our life
we have tried
to ignore
Chains
How can you hope
to dream
when the dream
that you hope for
only grows
within the shadows
of your intent
where your wishful thinking
becomes the chains
that hold you in place
where your silence
agrees
with your pain

Leap
When we base
our beliefs
on a belief
that a leap of faith
is all we need
we compromise
our inner sense
that tries
to bring us back
from the edge
where our denial
becomes
a permanent guest
at the table
of common sense
where we sit
head held high
in our belief
that our beliefs
do not lie
Doors
On your downward spiral
do you not see
the doors
at every turn
the choices
you could make
if only you break
these psychological claws
from the thoughts
you entertain
the ones that whisper
inside your mind
there is
no key to find
for there is
no lock
your choice
stands before you
just push

Flawed
Psychology
is nothing
but a flawed prophecy
of what you might do
depending on your mood
Life
It is
not you
that is tired
of life
it is life
becoming tired
of you
Bottom line
Is it
your bottom line
of black and white
that disappears
into the mist
as the tears
you try to hold back
slowly pass
your lips
Delusion
When selfdelusion
is stripped
from your bones
who are you
Dreams
Is it you
that dreams
of being conscious
while conscious
has a dream
of being you

Never said
She never said
she could love
but she would stay
for a while
and in that time
when she bedded
your spine
your thoughts
did nothing
but whine
Mistakes
Ungrateful
are the days
that destroy
the ways of wisdom
for it is only wisdom
that remembers
the mistakes
I am
What I am
is who I am
and what I am
is ME
You knew
When your mind
has been shattered
every shard
must be found
among the ruins
of your broken heart
within
these decaying thoughts
with denial
beyond belief
that you knew the price
you would pay
when you walked this way

Excuses
Is it not
your inner thoughts
that create your laws
that you find
excuses to break
is it not
your inner thoughts
that tries desperately
to alter your course
is it not
your inner thoughts
that creates the path
that you find hard
to walk
Unsaid
Is it not
the silence
in the night
that you dread
in that place
where your mind
begins to drift
into things
left unsaid
The half
You were not expecting
the feeling to be here
you could not believe
as you gazed
across the space
that separates you
from the place
where the one
you hold in your dreams
waits to be united
with the half
they have never seen

Twisted hope
Why do you need
to see
what's behind the door
are the words
I love you
not enough
any more
why do you insist
on looking
behind the scenes
when you know
what you will find
will not be me
yet you hope and pray
that I will change
while wishful thinking
becomes your cage
as you lay
on your barren bed of despair
believing
one day
I will care
Abomination
Truth
cannot be destroyed
only hidden
behind corrupted doors
forced
into a twisted corner
battered and beaten
hanging in chains
and there
it still remains
hidden
by denials wish
that this
skeletal abomination
of truth
should never be allowed
to speak
to those who seek
the reasons why
we
our children
have been
denied

Meaning
Is it logical
to have feelings
with no meaning
to what you are thinking
The end
The beginning
you find
the middle
you look for
and the end
looks after its self
Circles
From the highest
to the lowest
we are but novices
in the lands of gia
for only novices
would create
circles
of fear
Exist
When logic
doesn't understand
reason
feelings
do not exist

Unique
Would it not be unique
to be able
when you touch the hands
to give back
what your honesty
has received
the pain the despair
of being terrified
petrified
laying out here
among the garbage
on a broken city street
in a world
full of people
who don't really care
what happens out there
so long as it doesn't happen
to me
Art
It is
the art
within your soul
that defines
your state of mind
when you acquire
the art
of an open mind
Intelligence
Do we not cover
our ignorance
with intelligent excuses
on the reasons why
our denial
is right
Restrictions
The description
of your convictions
are nothing
but restrictions
of what you should know

The line
Not many people
survive
when they cross the line
to a different frame
of mind
First
To annualize
what you vocalize
you must first
socialize
with what you think
Clear
Why
do you tend
other people's gardens
when it is clear
you need to tend
your own
To please
It is only when
you have cancer
in your thoughts
can you be called
a walking corpse
one who walks the lands
of fractured dreams
looking for
a reflection
to please
Blind
Light
has no meaning
when it only shines
in the dark

Like a child
You assume
there are no gaps
in your thinking
you believe
you have a continues line
but when you are pushed
on your common sense thinking
you break down
and scream
like a child
Not true
Is it not true
that the choices
we have forsaken
has led
to the denial
of choices
our children
could have taken
Mass effect
It is only when
we live up to the name
the masses
do we become
a mass conscious
it will only be then
mass conscious
finally becomes
a mass effect
Reason
Common sense and reason
are losing
their position
in the schools
in which they speak

Running
Do your dreams
keep running
is your reality
just slumming
in the valley of illusions
are you aware
Hope
To distract a fact
from its point of view
you must first
poison the ground
on which it stands
and hope
the truth doesn't come
from the barren lands
Middle class
The rich
may lose a little
but they will still
be rich
the poor
will lose nothing
for they will still
be poor
but for you
who call yourself
middle class
it shall be you
we will meet
on the streets
and in the parks
with your cardboard blanket
looking for a place
that's warm
while your children
start over again
clawing back
all that you have lost
all because
you put your trust
into the ballot box
of hope

Ghosts
It is
not you
that is seeing them
from the corner
of your eyes
it is them
seeing you
from theirs
Survive
How do you survive
the day
when you know
deep inside
your living life
blind
how do you survive
the day
when you know
one day
the waves
of other peoples
pain
will come
crashing
on to your shores
to erode away
all your illusions
that you pray
will stay
Myth
Is it now
we face our darkest hour
is it now
the onslaught begins
where injustice
kills belief
where a better life
for honest people
has now become
just a myth

Heroes
How can a child
be
if a child
is not allowed
to see
all the broken heroes
who tried
to make
a better life
for thee
We say
How can we say
we live a life
when our intent
scrapes clean
our honest pride
to leave
our morals
nowhere to hide
but within
the comfortable arms
of denial
Serious
It is only
on the first serious lie
do you feel
your dreams create
a shattered mirror
at the bottom of your heart
with your tattered shadow
of common sense
hiding in the dark

Fit
Why should you
feel
so embarrassed
when other people
can see
that you
do not fit
into the shape
that they
in their ignorance
believe
you should be
Climb
Before
you can climb
into my bed
you must first climb
into my head
Another face
Why stay
when you cannot trace
a happy place
where you can base
your belief
in another face
Happy
Are you happy
in how you're growing
within the body
that you see
in the reflection
of your perception
that brings you
to your knees
when the chemicals
and cutting
do nothing
but please
your broken belief
that only the outside
really exists

Directed
There is an end
to this psychological pain
in these lands of confusion
where directed chaos
tries to break all
who stand their ground
on a path
that leads us
to a place
where we will find
the thoughts
that opens our eyes
it is there
we shall cry
in shame
Only
It is only the basics
that are required
to understand
the whys
Undone
It is only when
you have come
from that place
where you became
undone
can you feel the things
that you
sometimes think
the things
that should never
be free
from the chains
that you made
to keep them
in that place
where you
had become
undone

Colour
It is not the colour
of the skin
that you live in
or even where
you are born
it is
the colour
of your thoughts
that define
your state of mind
in a world
where thoughts
are becoming
colour blind
Key
The system
is the lock
denial
is the key
and you are
the guard
A feeling
So much for education
in a nation
with no relation
to what we really need
freedom
from commercial information
and a feeling
that our nation
is free
from the participations
of destroying
the truth
that will make us see

Hazardous
Sad things happen
when you change
the soul of a race
added intelligence
not naturally formed
will be hazardous
to the place
they were born
Edge
Everybody has a ledge
an edge
an end of a rope
a feeling
of hanging
on a line
with no phone
Another way
Slim is the trust
when you try
to adjust
to another way
of thinking
Visit
The problems
of this generation
has promised
to visit
the next
Firewall
Are you missing
a firewall
that line of defence
that warns you
of the psychological intent
of the Trojan
that wants to be your friend

Smoke
The smoke
that comes
from your car
could that not be classed
as passive smoking
or the chemicals
you spread around
your house
could that not effect
your children’s breathing
or the chemicals in your fridge
that you feed
to your kids
could that not effect
their thinking
so could you please explain
why you complain
about something
that has no meaning
Skin
It is the colour
of the skin
that you live in
that decides what culture
you should be in
while you wait years
to be adopted
by loving people
in good old multicultural
England
All roads
A Spartacus is needed
within the American system
to show the Romans
in Washington
that all roads
should lead to freedom

Attrition
There is a war
of attrition
within your brains eye
that has been raging
from the beginning
of your life
it is to control
the higher thoughts
within your mind
to slaughter to decimate
common sense
empathy
and honest pride
to silently invade
your house of reason
and peace
to plant twisted seeds
of doubt and grief
to bring on the cancer
that will destroy
from within
to force you back
to your lizard brain
where the shadows
believe
you should remain
Do you
Do you understand
the meaning
that comes between
the feeling
that you might be wrong
Drink
The lies you bring
to the waters you deceive
one day
you will drink
Scale
The sliding scale of failing
begins
when you try to please

More
You are more
then what you think
you are more
then the society
in which you live
Explaining
It is
the skeletal hand
of your conscious
that rests
upon your shoulder
explaining
to the mask
that you wear
it is time
to cross
your border
Your friend
Do you
lose yourself
when you pretend
that the mask
you wear
is your friend
To late
Could you not feel
something for someone
yet not see it
for what it really is
eventually
but often too late
to reinstate
that feeling
that should have kept you
awake

Aged
Why try to replace
the face of the aged
when it's only the aged
that can explain
Missing
Common sense
is now officially
missing in action

Our generation
When we are old
wrinkled and crippled
with one foot
in the grave
destined to a house
with a room
where we sit
staring
at a blank screen TV
while on our knees
we dribble
as our fluoride calcified brain
decays to the last stage
before our poisoned lungs
sucks in
the last breath
of dirty air
as our ignorance
slowly fades
will it only be then
that a single
regretful tear
will slowly travel
through the canyons
of our corrupted face
when at last
we finally understand
it was our generation
that created this place
where honesty is battered
day by day
while the skeletal minds
of our children
reap all
that we have sown
does it hurt
now that you know
that denial
was never our friend
Peek
To take a peek
at the strange and unique
you must first understand
it exists

Coast
You travel a road
that’s thinner than most
but when you stop
you coast
Born
All children
are born human
but not all grow up
to be one
Hunted
The morals
that separate humans
from the race of man
are now being hunted
Guess
You have down syndrome
and downing street
guess where humanity
sleeps
Protection
The things people do
to their children
if one did these things
to a dog
the dog would be taken away
one would not get the dog back
but with children
one gives them back
I know children are not dogs
but at least one could
give a child
the same level of protection
as one would a dog
Soon
Coming soon
basic principles
shares now trading
at your local police station

Amazes
The stupidity
of humanity
amazes the weak
System
Have we not built
our broken system
among the ruins
of a broken past
have we not built
our broken system
on the broken bones
of broken hearts
have we not built
our broken system
on a guaranty
that when
the warranty runs out
our children will become
like the walking dead
only knowing
crumbling concrete jungles
that glows
with the shame
of avoidable mistakes
Willing
Would one
be willing
to give up
ones humanity
for the children
to regain
theirs
Begins
Confusion
within your mind's eye
begins when your fear
believes the lies

If
If we could
if we could do it
if we could
rip a hole
in this reality
in which we have lived
all our ignorant life
would we
would we take a look
knowing down deep
that the odds
will not be weak
if we take a peek
to survive the madness
that is sure to come
if we look within
Photo
How
do you explain
to the young
broken silent souls
who watch you
with tired of life
eyes
listening
to the buzzing of the flies
while your mouth
shapes words of intent
as you gather the lost
broken souls around you
with the promise
of a few sweets
then the pious photo
is taken
to prove to the forsaken
they will not be
forgotten
for when the pious photo
sells for thousands
we shall return
with the promise
of a few more sweets

Everyday
If the darkness is evil
why is there evil
every day
Weep
Do your
whisperings
of all
your yesterdays
echo
in your ears
as the present
quietly weeps
with the one
you hold
when you sleep
Steps
Can you hear them
as they slide
through the cracks
of your deep thoughts
demanding you take
the first steps
on this road
you have yet
to regret
Become
There is only one
that can communicate
with my heart
there is only one
that can see
there is only one
that has reason
to believe
when we become
one
we are free

Dying
When a society introduces
human rights
based solely
on the genetic design
humanity
as you can see
is fast becoming
a dying breed
Divided
It is those
who argue for change
that cause the problems
we have today
it is those
who stand divided
who will send us
back
to the land of the caves
where innocence
once again
becomes a slave
to a civilized system
built on the broken bones
of the divided ones
the heroes
who argue
time to change
Knees
Is there
no place
that you can see
that will bring you
back
from your knees
that will stand you up
and dust you off
before
your feelings
begin to scream

Permission
Is it you
that lives in a system
that requires
your submission
to be
what they think
you should be
is it you
who are now
in a position
where you
are conditioned
to believe
that you are free
Shadows
When you are scared
to walk the road
that stands
before you
your fears will grow
from the broken bones
of the shadows
that surround you
Promised
Have you
departed
from your thinking
from thoughts
that could have been
when you promised
your reflection
that the thoughts
you are reflecting
will be true
to what you do

Within
Is it not
the fear of knowing
the fear within
that brings you
to this place
of skeletal shadows
that wear your face
Remind you
Is it apathy
that walks our streets
is it apathy
that whispers
to our ignorance
to remind our morals
we will feel better
if we do not speak
as we watch
common sense
walk the last steps
with excess baggage
holding
all our intents
Sometimes
Do you sometimes
wake up screaming
knowing
it is still there
like razor wire
coiled around
your inner thoughts
slowly shredding
the empathy that you court
as it whispers
the pious words
that you blindly repeat
to the hope
that still believes
that your intent
will set you free
from the coils
that hold your inner thoughts
in a place
that should not be

Yet to be
Did the feeling
get the meaning
when the meaning
was still pleading
for the reasons yet to be
Genetic
They must have known
that radiation doesn’t clone
it genetically twists and reforms
into thoughts
that should have never
been born
First steps
How do you deny them
when they have been your friends
from your first steps
into this world
how do you explain
to reason
a little common
and a bit of pride
that this is not how you are
as the air
is forced out
of what you dream about
Spark
The space is twice as big
as the one you feel within
through the maze
you will have to travel
though life’s shadows
that will become shallow
trying to find that spark
the one that makes you laugh
in a world designed
to make you lie
Dissipate
When you go
and everybody will
will you carry on
or will you dissipate
as your energy is sucked
from your soul

Dead
When you're dead
the only way
to stay awake
is to remember yourself
for if you fall asleep
to wake up
in somebody else’s
dream
you will be drained
of every thought
that makes you
unique
View
Words and reason
doesn’t combine
with the ones
who believe
their view
is divine
Sustained
Tension
leads to friction
friction
only leads
to pain
when sustained
and fed
with illogical thoughts
of things left unsaid
Is to be
To have common sense
with a little logic
as a friend
is to be human
Cave
Where would you be
if your mind was unshackled
from this cave
called reality

Open
Will there ever be a time
when you open your mind
and let the shadows
fly
Act
Would you act
on what you believe
the freedom
to be
free
Trust
When I enter your soul
I would like to know
where
I can go
Blurred
There are times in the night
when everything
becomes silent
where the line is drawn
to be observed
were life’s struggles
become blurred
Signs
Are you looking
for something
in someone
but only feeling the need
are you are somewhere
near the border
where there are signs
that you should read
You are
You do what you are
you speak with a twist
with the legacy of trust
Ending
with a twitch

Only you
What you find
within your eyes
only you
can analyse
there are no diplomas
to set you free
where you wish to be
Regret
It is always reflective
when you are receptive
to the things
you could have done
Circle
The past
is only a reflection
of the circle
that we tread
One day
Is it not rare to look
at our world
where nature believes
that one day soon
We will cease to exist
Value
It is not
in your governments interest
do you people
not understand
there is no political value
to help the damaged land
Price
Is it fear
that holds the key
when the price you see
is more
than the life you live

Promises
Only lip service is given
to the promises
that were written
to the people who believed
No home
Not many see it coming
a few make their own
and the others believe
fate
made a mistake
to leave them
without a home
Blind
Every angle
has been covered
by those
who have
no wish to recover
Real life
Are we
just a biological reality
living in a fantasy
where real life
is believed
can only beseen
on the TV screen
Together
One day maybe
you will understand
there are no strange lands
on this world
on which we stand
A thing
She walks amongst us
yet we still refuse to see
the fear she will bring
to the illusion
that we believe
that nature
is just a thing

Watch
Do you ever watch
with a sense of shame
cry a tear
then walk away
when what was shown
on your TV today
Greed
We feed
off everything we see
and destroy
everything
we don't believe
Our own
The war within the species
will be unique
among our own race
we will finally see
the tree of life
is still growing
evolving
to be free
Thoughts
It is not
what you leave
for the one
that you love
it is
what you feel
Burns
Do you feel the terror
and the strain
when it rains upon the pain
that slowly burns
into your thoughts
again
Stress
The state of mind
you wish to acquire
is as hard
as you think

Bliss
Light
plays upon the ones
who have no wish to see
Barely
When you're barely hanging
on to common sense
it's hard to tell
when one day begins
and the other ends
Blind eye
Do you ever try
to face the truth
when you have
so many lies
you can decay behind
Focus
Do you feel
out of focus
when your lines
begin to blur
Expect
The first thing to come
whispering from the shadows
will be the first thing
your subconscious
would expect
Friends
When your friends
do not become
your family
then they are not
your friends
It is
It is not
what you know
it is
what you think

Legends
Will the legends
of the future
be of the people
who fought wars
to save humanity’s children
while we did nothing
Beginning
Is it only
in the beginning
that you start
slowly becoming aware
that the end
will be the beginning
of the reasons why
you care
Invite
Does your left hand
know
what you do
with your right
does your left hand
know
the troubles you course
every time
you invite
excess baggage
to stay the night
Mistakes
Is it you
that makes
the same mistakes
that other people
make

Sow
Could it be you
that sows
the seeds of bitterness
could it be you
that created the fear
as they read
between the lines
you speak
as a single tear
escapes their belief
Just breathe
Is it ignorance
that keeps you asleep
is it ignorance
that tells you
it is better
you just breath
Steps
Does bitterness
leave a sweet taste
on your tongue
when you begin
your first faltering
steps
on this path
of regrets
Actions
It is not what you speak
it is your actions
that stand
the tattered flag
Dice
Life they say
is just a roll of the dice
which depends on fate
that listens
to every word
you don't say

Shall be
It is the one
who stands before you
in the mirror that you see
it is the one
that you speak to
who decides
what you shall be
Yesterdays
Do your whisperings
of all your yesterdays
echo in your ears
as the present
quietly weeps
with the one
you hold
when you sleep
When
When will you
need me
when your hanging
on the end of a rope
broken and bruised
tired of living
somebody else’s blues
Problems
Having
a decaying body
is the least of your problems
Whisper
Do you stretch
your reasoning
well beyond
your moral point
do you listen
to the shadows
that whisper things
you only see
in your dreams

Break
When you
break the back
of humanity
you break the back
of common sense
and family
Aware
May your god
help you
when you become
fully aware
that the thoughts
you are thinking
are what you put there
Rare
On our streets of fear
born again humans
are becoming
rare
Is there
Is there a shadow
that darts
from the corner
of your eye
do you have that
sickening feeling
your beginning
to understand
why
The bones
Do you put flesh
on the bones
of your skeletons
that hide
in a place
that you fear

Closet
Will there be a day
when the bony hand
opens the closet
from within
smiling
at your fear
that hides behind
the mask you bare
Create
Is it destiny
that draws you
to a fate
that you create
The hand
It is the hand
that holds me
it is the hand
I touch
it is the hand
that calms me
it is the hand
I love
Policy
Has honesty become
just a policy
in your system
of commodity's
where your feelings
become
hedge funds
in your stock market
life
Sanity
Are you
one of the people
who will stay the course
on the rocky ship of sanity
where at the bow
the children stand

with the tattered flag
of humanity
Slapped
Like a baby
common sense
must be slapped
to breath
Hanging
Is it your reflection
that shows you
hanging
on the thin edge
of reason
waiting
for common sense
to arrive
as you try not to slip
into the place
where your paranoid thoughts
play
Every day
Is it
your wishful thinking
that twists
your reasoning
within
your everyday thoughts
Your shoulder
It is
the bony hand
of your conscious
that rests upon
your shoulder
explaining to the mask
that you wear
it is time
to cross
your border

The few
Is it not
the death of the many
for the greed
of the few
that brings upon
the sad ignorant
twisted view
Line
It is only when
you start to question
their thinking
does your line of humanity
appear
Thin
Only
by a thin blue line
do we survive
these tortured streets
of our own design
Lost
Humanity
is becoming nothing
but a lost broken religion
begging
at your children’s door
Spark
Reasonable understanding
constitutes
a spark of humanity
Shock
Will the day ever come
when reality
stands at your door
explaining to you
that you
don't live here

any more
News
It is the tears of a child
that falls upon the news
written by a group
who refuse
to entertain the common sense
that shouts in vain
for the truth to be separated
brought to bare
on the unaware
Frightened
Are you one
of the frightened ones
who finds it hard
to keep your door ajar
to look a little further
from the things
you think you are
Expired
Do you feel mystified
just like a child
whose comfort zone
has expired
It is time
There are tribes
within tribes
and there are tribes
who hide
from the tribe
who believes
it is time

Your home
Have you barred
your feelings
from the thoughts
that wish to know
why you hide
behind
other people's denial
within a comfort zone
where your feelings
keep telling you
this
is not
your home
The map
It is no longer
a question of if
it is now
a question of when
it can no longer
be classed
as science fiction
when it is now
science fact
that for the first time
in our history
in the generations
to come
the free thinking people
the ones who see
things
that should not be
will cease to exist
when the map
is finally
complete

Inside
There is a prison
deep within
your mind
where darkness hides
twisted and bitter
because
of your belief
that it is
only
the darkness
that hides
things
you do not wish
to believe
Mists
It is within
the Gray shadows
of the morning mists
that your fear
slowly drips
from the dew
that persists

Broken
Are we lost
within the graveyards
of pious broken thoughts
where our past memories
of intent
still weakly crawl
between the light of the moon
and the headstones
of regret
like slowly fading ghosts
we forget
the task we were given
when we brought life
into this world
the task
of building a road
where our children
could proudly boast
that they gave
their blood
sweat and tears
for us
yet
like slowly fading crippled ghosts
we still walk the graveyards
of broken thoughts
where we cry
behind the masks we wear
while smiling
at a reflection
of a fading ghost
who cares
Gaze
Is it not our shame
that is decaying
between the widening cracks
of our broken thoughts
where we gaze
through the eyes
of our masks
that were never
educated enough
to educate

us
Stubborn
If we do not
maintain
the road that we walk
then the day
will surely come
when we stumble and fall
with our stubborn belief
with our denial
as our guide
we can
still walk this road
blind
Unborn
Will there be
a tomorrow
when the day is done
for the ones yet to breath
tomorrow
may only be
nothing
but a flickering dream
within a heart
that is yet to beat
As a people
We could be
as a people
anything we wish
as a people
anything
we can describe
we can bring
into our life
as a people
we should try
to regrow the bones
that once
held up our spine

Trust
It is when
you divorce your trust
from common sense
it is then
you shall be accused
of breaking the rights
of your children
who's only wish
is to be
human
Begins
Your future
begins
at the start
of every thought
you create
United
It is divided
that we now stand
and it shall be
united
we shall surely fall
if we allow
the freedoms we have left
to walk the last steps
into the mists
of ignorant regrets

Skill
How
do you do that
I would like to know
the skill that's needed
to make it so
to stretch one's illusions
over the cracks
of your broken thoughts
where your denial pretends
that you could be friends
if only
you would ignore
the knocking
on your door
that echoes inside
your head
Another page
Will you ever finish
what you started
when you promised
you would change
when you promised
you would turn
another page
that you would dig deep
into your emotions
to find
another way
to break these chains
of this twisted hidden
love of shame
of i'm sorry I promise
I won't hit you
again
depending
on what I feel
when frustration
becomes my pain
thinking
the only thing
I can change
is your face

Your heaven
Do you hold on
to a dream
that is broken
does your thinking
say
it is not so
do the beatings
rain down
from your heaven
as your common sense
begins to grow
through the haze
of the pain
you are given
is it so hard
to sleep alone
We
In body
we are many
in mind
we are one
Alone
If you do not
become
friends
with the loneliness
that has become
your bed
then the twisted
Barron thoughts
that you keep
within
will finally break out
to become
what you
do not wish

No match
The reflections
within your cracks
do not match
what you thought
you could be
within this illusion
where you
allow yourself
to live
Mask
Sooner
rather than later
your mask
will fall
it will be then
when you look
in the mirror
that you see
what you do not recall
your younger days
before you were trained
to wear a mask
that doesn't quite fit
your face
Angry
It is when
one becomes
angry
with one's self
it is then
thou shall create
the problems
that will
surround you

Circus
It was not your purpose
being in this circus
where you bend over backwards
to please
where you juggle your life
to fit what they require
in their desperate need
for you to carry
their emotional baggage
while they feed
on the things
that define you
as a human being
Damaged
It is
with a fraying piece of rope
that we hang
heavy hope
suspended below
the bridge of damaged dreams
where every reflection
weeps
for all the souls they see
the poor miss guided souls
of you and me
QWithout EQ
BQ and MQ
there can
never be
an IQ
Follow
You do not
follow
the path
that you walk
it is the path
that tries
to follow you

Mercy
Do we not
have any mercy
for the feelings
that we give
no voice
do we not
have any mercy
for the promises
we produce
yet refuse
the strength
our promises need
to grow
do we not
have any mercy
for our logical
common sense
state of mind
that lays in pain
pregnant
with soon to be
new born thoughts
that we viciously strangle
at the time of birth
with our hands
that tremble
with our rage
of denial
ListenWill you listen
to what
you do not want to hear
are you willing
to be
painfully
aware
My eyes
It is my eyes
that tell me
you look beautiful
but my mind insists
on knowing
what lays beneath
the chemicals
that hang off your skin

Gap
Am I
what you want
do I
bridge the gap
between
what you need
and what should be
Golden
Would you let me climb
under your skin
