Hear The Latest

Hear the latest? we got rapists
Prowling corners
Found her naked, parents now
Howling mourners
Mourning their first born ones
Got the guards
Scowling corners
We got to catch this scum
Or this scum will start to think they won
It’s hard to fathom
I’ve a daughter and a son
And if it happened to either one
I wouldn’t stop till I got em’
This is my rally cry
Why did you have to let Sally die?
And Aly die?
In an ally why?
And they were pally why?
She knew him they use to socialise
She knew him he was one of the guys
They were out for drinks
She turns her head, in her drink he sinks
A ticking time bomb
Half an hour later her mind was gone
Offered to walk her home and got turned on
She felt safe as they walked alone, till he turned on
Poor little Aly
In a dark lonely Ally
Hadn’t even the strength to scream
As this scum took a queen
His sick fun took her dream
When he was done he cut her spleen.

Now Sally’s panicking
She missed the last bus home
Everyone wishes
She didn’t take the short cut home
They would of collected her
Why didn’t she phone?
They could of protected her
If she wasn’t alone
It was too dark
To cut across the grass
Broke many a heart
As the priest read his mass
He said her life was ended
Unbearably fast
Family praying to God
That this moment will pass
For him to bring her back to life
Make her listen to their advice
Their lurking in the bushes
Your hurting gives them rushes
He doesn’t pause as he ambushes
As he pushes her heart crushes
She’s crying
Why didn’t she listen to their words?
She’s trying
To figure, what she did to deserve
Her minds defying
All the actions of this perv
Spent the night spying
Behind the bushes beyond the curb
Now as he starts slaying
She says if he leaves she’ll never tell
Now family praying
As they grieve he burns in hell
Her clothes entangled
She froze while strangled
It’s hard to handle
We lit a candle.

The worlds a crazy place it’s wild
Another case gets filed
Another home place dialed
‘I’m sorry sir, I think we’ve found your child’
Expected this moment
But the tears flow
A terrible moment
Letting the ones we hold dear go
Lord no, not my baby, not my daughter
Another lady, falling victim to their slaughter
It can’t be
This the stuff you see on TV
I’m near insanity
My tears cry out for some humanity
They want me to identify the body
See if my baby is dead
I want to crucify somebody
What goes through their crazy heads
I’m craving bloodshed
For every tear shed
She’d want me to avenge her
I want revenge for
Everything they did to my daughter
I want her to know I fought for
My angel taken
I’m unstable shaken
My heart’s breaking
I feel forsaken
This is the biggest burden
Any parent will ever bare
We tried to plan
We told her to beware
But we can never truly prepare
For this unruly despair
They see women as easy prey
We’ve to do our best so they don’t get their sleazy way
So I’m a work night and day
To make sure this one doesn’t get away
So this is my rally cry
Why did you have to let Sally die?
And Aly die?
In an ally why?

Their trying to kill and rape our women
They get a thrill from hate filled sinning
Do we sit back and watch the linen dry?
As they attack and watch our women die?

Drops A Knee

He drops a knee
And cops a plea
Praying don’t you scoff at me
Please agree
To the possibility
Of you and me
Starting a family tree
I’ve dumped a knee
Please jump with glee
He bites his tongue
What has he done
She hesitates
His anxiety escalates
He scans her face
For a trace
Of what awaits
He wants a warm embrace
Not left a bitter taste
Did he act with haste
Her mouth goes wide
He’s doubts inside
As a tear comes to her eye
Eternity goes by
She lets out a sigh
Then begins to cry
His heart thumps in his chest
As she simply mouths yes.

How He Does

How does he stop his mum from crying
When he tells her that he’s dying
How does he find the strength
To speak the words
Bluff strength
When he’s full of nerves
How does he best describe
There’s no chance left to survive
There is no easy way to explain
So there’s little way to ease the pain
When he dies
Some of her dies with him
Not thinking of himself
First wants her to forgive him
But when he looks in her eyes
They build a prison
So he looks to the skies
Prays strength will be given
Last night he prayed
For the first time in a long one
Poured a drink
Made it a strong one
Had a decision
Made the wrong one
Now the land of the living
Is one he doesn’t have long on
When he looks in the mirror
And it mirrors himself
He gets a shiver
Cause it mirrors bad health
Maybe some don’t see it
It’s something he can’t escape
Good life it was scenic
Now taken an odd shape.

Now he’s walking on grounds
He never walked before
And if he had the choice
He’d walk them no more
It’s a bitter pill
He has to swallow
Though he’s alive still
He’s not hollow
There’s still something inside
For the world to see
He’s not yet died
Won’t live in privacy
Now he’s told his mum
She could cry forever
But while he’s alive
He says smiles are better
Smile with me now
In what time we have
No good to allow
The mind think on the bad
The tears they’ll come
No matter how hard we fight them
So we should have fun
No need to entice them
When they come
We’ll fight them with strength
And when I’m done
Hold no hint of resent
No good to hold anger
Deep in your soul
No answer to the anger
You’re only digging a hole
Put down the shovel
Your whole life’s been work
Mama give us a cuddle
I can’t value its worth.

Life is full of chances
Many we take
Sometimes we like the answers
Others come back in our face
He went out with a near stranger
Someone he’d only just met
Was blind to the danger
Took a risk no safe bet
She was a woman of the world
He was a prowler of the night
Took comfort in this girl
Played a howler through drunken sight
But he doesn’t blame her
They are both victims here
Sometimes events occur
Where we must rise and persevere
We only get the one life
Now that seems all together clear
So while there is still sunlight
That’s light he’ll treasure dear
Life’s fight so ever near
Last rights are edging near
Yes he’s hedging fear
They are deeply embedded here
But despite this
He chooses to fight this
He looks for brightness
Through the slightest
Crack,
In the wall
Wants to try have a laugh
Have a ball
Now he wouldn’t wish it on a soul
The problems his and he takes control
And it’s funny
When people ask his mum how she handles this
Even through the tragedy a smile she always manages
‘When I look at my son and some look like he’s a weirdo
I think of all he’s overcome and in my son I see a hero’.

Stoner

Here I am on my own again
Smoking a split, surrounded by friends
I’m losing scope
Can’t stop smoking dope
Then became a dope
All I do is mope
Barely ever seem to smile
Think I’ve changed, I’m a different style
I used to be outgoing
But now my memory’s slowing
And I think it’s showing
Shit, you think they be knowing?
Paranoid now, try and stress a smile
Paranoia, just more shit on my pile
Blow only serves to rile
Me into a trance for awhile
On my own cut off
My brain shut off
So focused on daydreams
You wouldn’t believe what I just seen
Then my memory wipes clean
My brains playing for a different team
Ganging up on me
I swear that motherfucker’s my enemy
He won’t let me be
Always depressing me
Why you stressing me?
Set me free
All I do is think
And then I think
Did I just blink?
Shit I over think
My mind playing games on me
He’s got different aims than me
Ain’t y’all see a change in me?
I’m a stranger me
I’m a different person
On my own lift the curtain
This is my soul
Can you see the whole
It’s taking its toll
I’m losing all control.

Please someone help me
I feel unhealthy
Ain’t been myself see
At least not lately
Think I’m going crazy
Won’t someone save me.

When I’m in a crowd I feel lonely
I think man if only
I hadn’t done a certain act
I wouldn’t be where I’m at
But I am, that’s the fact
There’s no turning back
I’m young I should be livin’
All sins forgiven
Feel trapped in a prison
On a site working for a livin’
I’m fine while I’m there
But I get home back in this chair
And all I do is stare
Into thin air
My mind wandering
While everybody wondering
What the fuck is his game
All shouting my name
While I’m fighting my brain
Trying to get him to explain
What happened to our compatibility
Why he’s changing my personality
Shutting off reality
Another fatality
BANG! A boot up the ass
And everybody laugh
At my dumb ass
Man hurry up and pass
You been hogging that grass
In future you’re getting the thing last
I’m not the same as I used to
That’s what herbal abuse do
Who knew?
Not me
I didn’t see
The possibility
Drugs would get a hold of me.
Take a blow off the smoke
As I cough and choke
Think is it my attitude or just the smoke
Even a thick could tell you it’s both.

Please someone help me
I feel unhealthy
Ain’t been myself see
At least not lately
Think I’m going crazy
Won’t someone save me?

Everyday I get the blues
Try to fight it but I lose
I’m not the one who gets to choose
As long as I misuse
The marijuana
I’m never gonna
Get my life together
Work hard so I can better
Myself
Get fit, improve my health
To get back to myself
Would be beyond any financial wealth
That’s the truth
Think I’ve found the root
To all my problems
Maybe now I can start to solve them
They will start dissolving
And my world will start revolving
Again,
For I’ve been still for awhile now my friend
Instead of my life coming to an end
Maybe now it’s on the mend
Now I think I can
Take the step from boy to man
Realise I’ve to suffer the consequences
Of my own actions
And my worst action
Was getting caught up in distractions
And forgetting my own passion
Expression,
Have to learn to stop stressing
And take this as a lesson
Learned,
As the world turns
One chance spurned
Means another must be earned.
