Give a man a fish he will eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish he will eat for a life time.

Give a man a gun he will rob a bank.
Give a man a bank he will rob the world.

We adapt and adjust.
Constantly dithering on the cusp
Of what is considered wrong and right,
Ensuring that our ambitions remain in sight.

We would be willing to do anything
In order to get what we truly desire.
We would be willing to risk everything
Even putting our friends in the line of fire.

We may share the bounty with others,
Allowing them to experience the fruitful taste.
Given the option we will even care for our brothers.
Just as long as w

L.O.V.E.L.O.V.E.

It swallows you whole,
Exceeds your control.
Apprehends your soul,
Until it has taken its toll.

It’s an overwhelming feeling.
That is made to be appealing
And you can’t help revealing,
The doubts you are concealing.

It’s an undefined dimple
And a well known jingle.
But only when you are single
Does it all seem so simple.

It is one of life’s many gifts,
That empowers and uplifts
And can lead you adrift.
Should you miss your shift.

It is impossible to describe it.
It is impossible to fight it.
Because once it is ignited
And once you have tried it.

It will take your independence.
You will become used to it

Unconscious Epiphany.Unconscious Epiphany.

I thrive and depend on your compliments

And it is only then as a direct consequence,

Am I truly able to write with confidence.

Even though your words are only temporary.

I deem your contribution as utterly necessary,

In order to refresh my wavering, selective memory.

My own validation depends on your approval.

Whether it is congratulatory or discouragingly brutal.

Your input is the one thing that is most crucial.

Can I call myself a writer if I don't believe in myself?

When I constantly seek approval from everyone else?

How can I then expect to make any sort of wealth?

Of a craft and skill I still think any

Free WillFree Will.

Is free will a devout gift or a curse?

Was it free will that granted a desperate man to steal an old lady's purse?

Was it free will that resulted in multiple bodies carried in a hearse?

Was it free will that justified a police officer to shoot the accused first?

Was it free will that allowed a family man's mentality to be so perverse?

Could this world of ours get any worse?

Free will gives us the chance for all of us to be distinctive.

But as a consequence people can act corruptive and vindictive.

But without this choice, our lives would be constrained and restrictive.

Undoubtedly these two differing perspectives are cont

They SayThey Say.

They say there is always a silver lining.
But right now my future looks bleak.

They say the sky is the limit.
But my vision is blocked by a mountain peak

They say life is a game.
But I was never any good at hide and seek.

They say were all different.
But does that mean that were all unique.

They say everyone wants to win.
But I have no desire to compete.

They say there are plenty more fish in the sea.
But they didn't say whether the water's shallow or deep.

They say everyone is searching for the same answer.
But I have'nt got it in me to cheat.

They say I'm too negative.
But I know this also comes hand in hand with d

Opposable Positions.Opposable Positions.

So if...

Good girls are really bad girls that never got caught

And

Kings and queens are insecure people that hide behind their forts.

Then

Survivors are cowards that run away when they could’ve fought.

Which means

Celebrities are strategists and opportunists that utilise their thoughts

And

Teachers are failures who couldn’t make use of the lessons life taught.

It would seem then you are either one way or the other.

There is fine undefined line between enemies and lovers.

So pick and choose wisely when deciding what side you are on.

Because you can never know the person you one day might become.

SilenceSilence.

A language that everyone speaks.
       But one that we are not able to hear.

A place where emotions and abandonment meet.
       Of which we are forced to confront our buried fears.

There are no more lessons that the agents of society can teach.
       An infinite amount of words expressed through a solitary tear.

People dish out advice but never practise what they preach.
       A language with the same traits as a hopeful prayer.

A society where people judge others, as they sit back i

The Person I Once KnewThe Person I Once Knew

We used to talk everyday.
Laughing, talking and spending time together.
I never thought me and you would stray.
I assumed we would be this close forever.

Now your number is never in use.
You're just a photo in my frame of mind.
It went from mutual respect to absolute abuse.
A bond like ours is difficult to find.

I occasionally think of you and wonder how your doing.
Wonder what you look like and if you still talk the same.
Imagine what your doing with life and what dreams you are pursuing.
Despite everything that happened my memories of you will always remain.

I knew you for a while and you made an impact

Questions.Questions.

Nobody has the answers
But everybody has the Y’s.

Speculations of a faultless green pasture,
Based on a line of best fit that was drawn to lie.

The solution is a sequence of random numbers and dates.
In addition to a complicated sum of love, grief, fear and hate.

Which form a unique equation that can never be revealed.
It’s the only bit of ignorance that still remains concealed.

Even though we may feel defenseless.

The possibilities are endless.

The opportunities are relentless.

Opinions become senseless

And still we lie restless.

Attempting to solve the unsolvable

And control the uncontrollable.

Everyone is too wrapped in their own lives to even care about yours.

But what they fail to remember is that this earth is only the first of many floors.

Tears cascade, smiles appear and fade while the universe continues to ignore,

As they impatiently knock and wait outside life's man made divisible door.

So when they become to self involved in the successes of their own cause.

Just remember this world,

I can't understand myself…

Yet I can't stand myself…

So I stand by myself…

Because I can't be anyone else.

CapableCapable

Sometimes I think we are able,
Of doing more than we are capable.

Believing the unexplainable.
Achieving the unobtainable.
Understanding the unspeakable.
Admiring the unsuitable.
Depending on the unreliable.

Just because you did it.

She just couldn't take it anymore.
She threw her purse and her child's lunch box on to the floor

Of the fourth storey of the local car parking complex.
The lord only knows what will possibly happen next.

She begins tugging on her hair furiously in agitation.
Talking to herself having an in depth conversation.

Pacing up and down and aggressively talking in tongues.
Labelling herself as an unfit lover and mother to her husband and son.

Tears begin to cascade from her face violently.
She didn't tell her husband about her woes instead she chose to silently

Keep it to herself and let it eat her up inside.

ContradictionContradiction.

You have the audacity to call me a hypocrite.

When you can also be classed as a syndicate.

It's easy to judge someone objectively.

When it comes to it you choose what to forget selectively.

I'd be lying if I said I this situation has not affected me.

Too hasty to label and condemn others.

When you sleep keeping the truth under the covers.

In the morning the lies emerges and everyone suffers.

I'm left lieing in a bed of illusions thinking your friends are my brothers.

My actions offend you and I apologise.

When your actions offend me, you refuse responsibility and colonise.

My eyes have been exposed and this truth ha

I caress her pale skin,

That flakes with every kiss.

My hands on her butt.

My fingers clasp her outline.

Her company is expensive.

I am one of many who crave for her.

She has multiple partners.

I can smell her stench everywhere.

Our relationship must end eventually.

Her kiss will erode my heart.

Claiming lives is her fetish.

Everyone warns me not be with her.

But I lust for unreliable presence.

She has a bewildering hold of me.

My addiction always takes control of me.

Without her I cannot breathe.

But with her I will stop breathing.

That's why she cannot leave.

Because I will be the one that ends up leavi

Uh Oh

Uh Oh…

There's something I got to tell you…


The moment I hear this,
I cant help but think the worst.
Every single sinful act,
I have ever committed,
Hacks in to my main frame.

Guess what I heard about you…?

Then I wonder how on earth,
Did they un-earth the truth.
What truth have they uncovered?
Do they now see me differently?
Is that why they have been treating me differently?

Me and you have to have words…

I always dismiss the possibility of a positive response.
I begin to back track and defend myself at once.
Paranoia takes over as I start to reveal,
All of the secrets my lips promised to seal.

                                                                                                          When in actual fact it's not the case.
                                                                            A confused and baffled expression appears on their face.
                                                    As they mention something completely opposite to what I was thinking.
                                                                                 And my heart resumes to floating  instead of sinking.
