Silence is the best place; no shouting except to myself; solitude where all is safe; comfortable; no criticism; just safety

Looking After
She looked after everyone else
And no one looked after her
No one seems to want to mention her name
And no one looked after her
No one seems to want to mention her name

Only Explanation
When all seems lost; when the rain falls and the sun fades; God is the only explanation

Tribes
Churches; Mosques; Temples; are the meeting places of tribes; God is something completely different; not that he has ever met him of course :-)
Shopping Centre
Jesus was born the saviour of mankind and died on the cross for the sin's of man; Corporates do not wish this to be known; in that christmas rush in that shopping centre; it might upset the balance a little; it would help the planet a lot; if it where known.

Snow
The snow came in a long gentle sheet; roll in it; rub it in your face; throw a snowball; make a snowman with a carrot nose; thank God there are still winters; remember that Mum; up in the Snowy.
Information
Despite all that information; all that knowledge; all those insights; we know no more than we did all those countless generations ago when man walked the plains of Africa.

Fear No Gods
Fearing no Gods; they think themselves Gods; have become lost in a jungle of concrete and plastic and pixels; all the birds and the flowers and the green forest have been destroyed and they simply do not care.

Neurons
They seem to imply that he thinks too much; feels too much; remembers too much and wants to know everything about everything; way above his station; that it is only for philosophers and great men of substance; but he said nonsense and he thanked God for his countless neurons.
Barrow Boy
Walking by this guy; he proudly talked about the corporate mentality and the lowly barrow boy mentality; making sure it was heard.
What's the difference ?
The laughter stayed inside all day and comes back often.

History
The history we have been told is a flunk; its just geography and star position and random events
Warm
The day was grey; cold; misty; the frost was on the ground even at noon; but inside it was still all warm

Some
Some can see, they feel, they know things that others do not; some can see, but they do not care, or feel and know very little but causing pain

What happened ?
What happened to all this idealism; it used to be socialism; humanism; a better world; now it is all just PSP and iPods and celebrity and Junk media and............ ;
Mum
This father and son thing; just want to say you are not forgotten in all this; for too long you were

Birthdays
Mum said, "He behaves like this on their birthdays"; it took all this time to understand what she said.
Side-Burns
The man with the pointy side burns said I was like him; But I retorted I was not; he kept on insisting; he said, "you know where I am"; I replied, "I do not"; Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Fresh and Warm
Today the wind was awry; the trees swayed gracefully; it was fresh and warm; cumulus settled on the edge of the blue northern sky
Somewhat Sane
They say that there is only a God because of a 'God Spot' in the brain; or that it is an escape from 'reality', what ever that is; or that it is irrational, an escape from pain; All that can be said for that is, Thanks God for keeping me somewhat sane :-)
Funfair
Going to the funfair is fine; but God, not every day, because then I will have time to talk to you.
Sand
When things get buried in the sand; a strong tide or wind comes along anyway; and they become revealed
Vision
Had this vision; they where holding hands and smiling; and the children where playing like children children do
Change
It was the early eighties sometime; we where walking through a colonnade of trees in Kew Gardens; Mum said' "One minute everything is fine and then the next minute..........'

Muscle
There where Rottweilers, Bears, Bulls, Tigers and the odd Hyena with incredible big crunchy teeth; sharp black suits, spotless shirts, shiny shoes; all that muscle and belief ?!

Interest
She who took an interest "I liked your company"; The first time in a long time; but I stutted, "You need warmth and love and someone to wake up to and someone to talk to and someone to run with on a sunny tropical beach and that's not me". Failing in words I said, "Thats what it did"

Suit
She who is gone and was a terrible loud mouth; said one day when it was heavy rain, 'People only believe you when you wear a suit'
Pretty
She who is more pretty than she thinks; stood over me with her clip-board and said, 'I've got you now'.

Upset
I read this book; it slapped me in the face, it upset me, about what people are capable of; there was mention of love and a teddy bear and a young child and distant memories but that was all.
It really is worth a read; but you have to be strong and not run away from its message

Merit
She who reigns; wants me to join her meritocracy; after a lot of thinking, well no thinking at all actually; I find no merit in her cause
Doubts
Its a day of doubts; its some awful feeling of insecurity that others have no right to persue

Time again
She who has'nt a thought in her head said the other day; 'My God, why is life so fast, at least slow it down, my children are sploit, have grown beyond me, my man is fat and farts, please God can we start again when we had are hearts'
Wish
I wish I could be the person you want me to be
I wish you could be the person that I want you to be
I wish you could be the person that I want you to be

Help
She who knows said, that I said, that he said, you got it wrong, you know what I mean and now I forget; what she said ? Help !!! :-)
Chemicals and God
The scientist requires emotions are related to chemical atoms rather than with reality and perceptions; The angry young man insists all men are free to think and do and fight as they wish;
God smiles; its no ones fault
God smiles; its no ones fault

Satire
Do you hear the one about the American, Mc Donald's and the Lifestyle Guru in the SUV; sorry its unrepeatable and you might take offence, but it goes something like this.........................................
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha !!!
Forgive me, could not help it; gentle nature has turned outward into raucous laughter, much calmer now. Phew !

Hop, skip and a run
A hop, skip and a run is all that it takes; it won't work, because we are fat and lazy, and we might just hurt ourselves, if only with a bruise
Reality
Those out there; them; yes them they are trying to stop us seeing the real world. Who are them, they are us<<<

Not in pain all the time
No, not in pain all the time; sometimes its needed so as not to betray the past
