Values
Like you I serve
My selfish needs
But our different values
Sow different seedsIs climate change
Valued by you?
Or is it too long term
Too indirect for you?Is a short term fix
More what you choose?
A zero sum game
You win…we loseDifferent values
Could serve for good
But the future looks darker
Maybe more than it shouldNow I’m grateful when
On the road I find
Those who are giving
Those who are kind
Free V2
I have some money
It serves some needs
But it won’t, set, me free
I dream of the future
I still have some fears
I still have some chains, that pull, at meI can’t change much
But I can change me
And I can’t do much
But I, can, be freeI built a house
I wanted to feel safe
It’s what the world, sees, of me
Now I’m opening my doors
I wanna let some light in
And maybe I’ll see, more, clearlyI can’t change much
But I can change me
And I can’t do much
But I, can, be free
To Those Who Live Now
To those who have accepted their fate
To those who live with grace
To those who do not follow
But take their own pathTo those who live now
To those who laugh long
To those who love all
May they incur no wrath
Blind Faith
I speak those shallow empty words
Filled with so many lies, I sound absurd
But I accept no responsibility
I use insults and I use attacks as news
As clickbait in social media that I use
I pollute everything with incivilityI’ve undermined what experts say
The rule of law is now my prey
I’m your prophet, listen only to me
I call it fake media and I call it fake news
Cos I wanna own your reality too
I’m your prophet, listen only to meHave faith, blind faith in me
Have trust, blind trust in me,
I wanna be your reality
Have faith, blind faith in meMy lies keep you divided and confused
I’ve hidden real problems with that ruse
I’m so full of ignorant intensity
I’ve defeated those with passionate conviction
Who used foolish truth instead of fiction
And I don’t care about inequalityHave faith, blind faith in me
Have trust, blind trust in me,
I wanna be your reality
Have faith, blind faith in me
In Berlin
There was snow on the ground
Blue sky and sun all around
Was that the reason my blood was so thin?
I drank from the cup
Before I tried to get up
Why did I feel so exhausted there in Berlin?They smoked outside in the snow
Then into cool music they go
They could hide cos the light was so dim
They kissed and caressed
She moaned and she pressed
There was a decadence there in BerlinThey gave, it seemed a lot
Fruit’s always juicy before the rot
I finished the song Ruthless to sing
The buildings big and clear
It was all a bit functional and austere
I’d a lot of mixed feelings there in BerlinBeneath the cathedral dome
In high renaissance like Rome
The organ could let God hear us sing
Outside in the snow
Past blue stars I go
I found some peace and beauty there in BerlinI dreamt of Lana del Rey
How I became her prey
Her vulnerability hid her desire to win
But though I know about love
Signified by that dove
I shivered with the cold there in BerlinI lit two candles to show
That love can grow
And that closed games are such a sin
I offered up two prayers
A symbol of how much I care
Such warmth was needed there in Berlin
