Unity

I am a member of humanity
Travelling on a tiny planet called home
You are too – no reason to feel alone
Because this world’s all we got: you and me
It’s time to put our differences aside
Drop your weapon and open up your hand
Fighting won’t win – we have to understand
I’m a human being: I’m on your side
We have journeyed so far to reach this point
With such progress made we can’t give up now
This can be achieved – we can show them how
You and me: The victors they shall appoint

Together we can achieve anything
So let’s build up a future worth winning

The book of films unmade by George Lucas

Hi George. Nice to see you. We need to talk
You remember us? We’re all your ideas
While you’ve been watching Star Wars like a hawk
We’ve been dormant for many, many years
We can’t survive in a book left untouched
Please make us the films you’re working on next!
We need your voice, our creator, so much
We will let you use digital effects!
Don’t walk away from us – Don’t say never!
You have money, influence! Make us breathe!
You can’t keep mining nerd cash forever!
Please! Before death decides it’s time to leave!

We need to thrive as complete films - to live
Just make us! We’re all prepared to forgive

I want to be Taylor Swift’s boyfriend

I want to be Taylor Swift’s boyfriend – true
I could do better than all her past ones
Hell, if I told her she might agree too!
And we will shine bright like a thousand suns
We’ll be together. Her songs I’ll critique
I’ll be loving, kind generous as can be
Of course it won’t last long – maybe a week
And like the rest she’ll write a song ‘bout me
Sure she will call me a jerk and worthless
But it will be the lucky break I need
Being in her songs will make one famous
It’s an immortality guaranteed.

Will it be worth it being her boyfriend?
People will know me – it will in the end

I will be your Romeo

Tell you what: I will be your Romeo
I will be your man: handsome. Brave and bold
Bound by the heart, hand in hand we will go
To the greatest love story ever told:
On the first day we’ll attract instantly
Forget about previous loves: We’re done
And on the second day we will marry
Just met but apparently you’re the one
You will smile and go along with it all
I could be a nutter but heart says no
With generations of hate we’ve got gall
Over. But give it time and it will blow

We’ll die but at least we’ll live forever
It’ll still be the greatest love ever

Addict

Same need. Same plan. Same thoughts of temptation
Same pause. Same doubt. Same fear of a presage
Same conflicting thoughts. Same hesitation
Same mobile number. Same text message

Same lies spoken. Same route and roads plotted
Same promise that this will be the last time
Same paranoia of getting spotted
Same street. Same driveway. Same house. Same door chime

Same amount of dollars. Same sense of touch
Same rush of sensation. Same ecstasy
Same assurance it was wanted so much
Same pain resonating in the belly

Leaving feeling empty, unhappy, weak
And knowing he’ll be back again next week

When you were mine

I remember those days spent together
Hand in hand watching a summer set
Laughing at jokes that weren’t really clever
Singing to my ipod as a duet
In a flash restaurant sharing dinner
Sitting on the water front with ice cream
Competing on Xbox to be winner
Gazing into each other’s eyes agleam
I remember those days spent together
When you said that: Yes you’ll be my girlfriend
When you said you’ll be my friend forever
Building a bond only we comprehend

But you say that none of this happened – ever
But to me it all should have – not never

The wife left behind

 Locked away, from the world, in a sleep
Dreams of when the ring was on the finger
Along with the memories that linger
For they’ve taken root in the soul so deep

Thoughts of the one who’s waiting a return
But the hopes of one are looking slimmer
And the love that once stood strong grows dimmer
A soul without its mate: cause for concern

Thoughts of the tenderness that was once there
Understanding between one another
How nobody else could know each other
No sense to turn away from that so rare

The sleep continues, the dreams here to stay
And he will see her face again some day
