"I must learn and improve at letting things go. I need to have the clear vision that God wants me to have. To know when a good thing must end, and when a good thing should continue"

Side By Side Forever
when I see through to your soul.
Won't you hold me close forever,
'cause a day without you I cannot go.
My friends can't see why I don't leave you,
but they don't know you like I do.
I wake up every morning,
and want you always by my side.
My life is yours, and yours forever.
I'll only give you everything.
But baby, I can't find you,
this hunger pains my heart.
Eyes wide open for you darling,
oh, I need you in my life.
You know I'd love you daily,
no time that I would be frustrated.
I'd hold your hand when you feel lonely,
pick you up on days you hit the floor.
Time will pass on by my darling,
but my heart belongs to you forever.
And the world will test my patience,
but there's nothing I won't go through,
when you're standing by my side.
I need you there forever,
because I know I can't stand alone.
I question myself about myself,
but you tell me that you love me,
and I need nothing more.
Side by side forever...
I need nothing more
But baby, I can't find you,
this hunger pains my heart.
Eyes wide open for you darling,
oh, I need you in my life.

Life Will Make You Cry
Oh darling, darling, darling,
Don't you know that life will make you cry.
Oh darling, darling, darling, yeah,
Don't you know that life will make you cry.
I remember when, the world was one big game,
nobody felt pain, nobody shed a tear.
But the years they roll on by, and the fun it disappears.
It's kinda like the strong will continue, the weak will fall off.
The times they just get harder,
this voice inside my head just gets louder.
I know I'm not alone, but my Lord I cannot hear!
My friends and foes do fade away,
just me and myself, battling life out.
Oh darling, darling, darling,
Don't you know that life will make you cry.
Oh darling, darling, darling, yeah,
Don't you know that life will make you cry.
Sometimes patience is hard to come by,
and the truth it's hard to live by.
The world as I know it has me frustrated,
or maybe it's me, and this mind that I live in.
I try to let go, but it's hard to let go.
Like glue to my hands I cannot let go.
I live in the past, afraid of the future, and all it may hold.
Jumping up and down, all the energy that I've stored,
not knowing where to put it.
Frustration at not knowing the direction of this road.
The time ticks on and I stand still not knowing where I'm going.
Oh darling, darling, darling,
Don't you know that life will make you cry.
Oh darling, darling, darling, yeah,
Don't you know that life will make you cry.
Sometimes I feel I'm living in a dream, but then I wake up.
Unfortunately for me, it actually was a dream.
Now I know I'm not alone and I know I'm strong as steel.
This pain will not remain and my life I will redeem.
Faith and Me will take me there,
Fear and pain will disappear.
True to myself, I'll move back into gear.
Don't you know that life will make you cry.
Oh darling, darling, darling, yeah,
Don't you know that life will make you cry.

Tribal Trouble
We're at war with ourselves, killing off eachother,
yet 7 billion people still livin' in this place.
What's the point in life if we can't share it with our neighbor,
Throwing bombs and threats, not love and good intent.
We're all in the one tribe, so why do we fight?
Martin Luther had a dream, but America had nightmares,
killing innocent lives with jealousy and hate.
Why can't they just be happy for all their blessings,
for the land and strength they already bear.
For the shoes on their feet and the food that they eat.
Why can't you and I be best friends, no envious hate.
Black and white is all the same, like one lady had twins,
hah, yeah, one black and one white!
It's true, not a lie. So tell me is it not proof enough?
What would be white if there was no black?
We be creating all these problems that really aren't there.
Life is too simple for brains that need more,
filling ourselves up with fact and fiction, who cares?
School is killing our originality, may a better day come,
when we listen to our heart, and not to our head.
Our souls are being intoxicated by the seriousness of politics and hate.
Our lives are being shaped by everything but ourselves.

I See God In...
I see God in the shadows of my life,
I see God in the brightest of all lights.
Just because I can't physically touch him, doesn't mean that I can't feel him.
and just because I can't look at him in front of me, doesn't mean that I can't see him.
You may feel alone with no where good to go, but he is standing right beside you,
he is always deep within you.
Hold on tight to your faith, and never let it go!
Protect it with all your strength, defend it with all your heart,
respect it more than life itself, and it will take you farther than life itself.
God is not hiding from the dark, nor is He standing alone in the light.
He is the first breath of a new born child and He is the last breath of a weary soul,
He is the green grass growing in the fields and He is the rock that lies below.
He is the warmth of the sun that shines, and He is the cold on a frosty morn,
He is the fire that burns on a winter night, and He is the ice at the top of the world.
He is the friend that hugs you daily, and He is the stranger that never says hello.
He is the word of the wealthy and the poor, the depressed and the happy,
He is the sadness that grasps our soul, and the joy that makes us smile.
He is in our deepest dreams, and He is there in times of great fear.
He is in love and times of despair,
He is in you, and He is in me!
Look at this picture carefully...click to enlarge.
I see God in the brightest of all lights.

Slavery
Slaves to the world, shackles tight around their feet,
afraid of the men with whips, standing at their back.
Working because they have to, not because they want to.
Earning not a fortune but a penny for a day of blood and tears.
They work to make the world a little richer, but they see none of it.
They live a life of pain that never wains, increasing everyday.
Danger at every corner of their day, coal mines falling on their head,
men with minds so wrong they can only go to hell.
Young girls afraid to be left alone, young boys afraid to be themselves.
The hate and all the crime is falling on their universe,
treating them as nothing more than slaves to this universe.
Innocence and youth stolen from their lives by greed,
of men that see wealth in the disadvantaged children of the world.
Layers and layers of fear that can't ever peel away.
Their lives have been destroyed for the rest of their days.
And you think that you feel bad for all their pain,
but you wear it everyday, tell me you do not?
These kids are stronger than you and I,
Daddy's gone and Mom is busy working for no wage,
these kids are alone and fighting to survive every single day,
not for a second taking their eyes off of the game.
Eyes wide open through the night, while sleeping on the street.
Prostitution and discrimination a reality they must face,
Evil eyes upon their back not afraid to fuck them up.
Look into their eyes and see the darkness of their life,
or are you too afraid to check that out?
afraid of the men with whips, standing at their back.
Working because they have to, not because they want to.
Earning not a fortune but a penny for a day of blood and tears.

By Your Side
Take my hand, walk with me,
close your eyes, and trust in me.
I’ll take you on a journey to the edge,
where love and pain will never end.
I will show you a life just like your dreams,
yet blood and tears, they will appear.
I am not perfect, I can promise that!
but for you my love, I'll give my best.
You are the girl I’m here to find,
and I’m the one you’ve dreamed about.
Just give me time and I’ll bring you to life,
disperse your fears of darkening nights,
replace the shadows with beaming light.
I'll be by your side.
False Hope
That girl is scandalous,
she's nothing more than trouble,
but she got her arms around me,
and I'm not trying to break free.
She's that girl that gets you all confused.
Loving you then killing you.
Close your eyes, you still see her.
La, la, la, she got me so confused!
And when I see her come my way,
the world it all just falls away.
She looks so nice, shining bright.
like a star on a real dark night
I catch her eye, she looks at me!
time turns slow, it lasts all day.
She walks towards me, I fail to breathe.
her hand touches me, I awake in bed!
These dreams they are too real,
Fuck sake!
she's nothing more than trouble,

Butterfly Healing
"I need sunshine, and I need angels, yeah I need... something good,
and I need them blue skies, I need them good times, oh, I need... something good!"maverick sabre
Oh when I look back at my life it's like I don't know what I've done.
The clock ticks and the days pass by, but I remain the same, not knowing who I am.
And so I walk on, alone on this dark path, a martian to the world, it's not what I had planned.
My dreams have disappeared and now I have to start again. And when I rest my head, I fly away
out through the window, to a place where I can see more clear, where life, it is more fair. Like a butterfly I can break free from the shell that once enclosed me. I can express my true nature and bring color to the world. Fly through the air and dance with the wind, smell all the roses, and bring awe to the eyes of that child over there.
But I know that none of this is real, oh I know I must think clear! Rid my mind of all these fears, wipe my eyes of all these tears, start all over, get back in gear. Be the man I want to be, be the man to set me free.
"I need sunshine, and I need angels, yeah I need... something good,
and I need them blue skies, I need them good times, oh, I need... something good!"maverick sabre
And I will rise to meet the voice inside my head, I will overcome the darkness that eats me from within.
I will stand up tall and climb once again, no stopping until I see the light that I know shines bright.
I will break free from the shackles tied tight 'round my feet... race faster than Bolt on the best of his days.
This fire of life that burns in my heart, will grow higher and warmer than ever before.
(We all know someone who struggles through life, provide them with support whenever you can.
For them, you might just be that ray of light, or that angel, who can help pick them back up)

Know What I Mean?
War is gonna fuck us up!
It's gonna tear through our spirits like bullets tear through flesh,
Know what I mean?
And our hearts are gonna bleed like our hands have been blown off,
Know what I mean?
Our morality will be destroyed and Satan will then pick us up,
Know what I mean?
We'll be lost on a road we should never have set foot,
Know what I mean?
War is gonna fuck us up!
It's gonna tear through our spirits like bullets tear through flesh,

Know what I mean?
We'll be lost on a road we should never have set foot,

Pride
If you want to be free,
you gotta stand up and scream.
You gotta empty your fears,
let go of all your tears.
Fill up with joy,
start with a smile.
Look in the mirror,
say a warm hello.
Embrace and be proud,
of the beauty and light
that stands before you.
you gotta stand up and scream.
You gotta empty your fears,
let go of all your tears.
Fill up with joy,
start with a smile.
Look in the mirror,
say a warm hello.
Embrace and be proud,
of the beauty and light
that stands before you.

4 Minutes of Thought
Come hold my hand and don't worry,
let us step forth together out of harms way.
Alive to the love that this life has to offer,
You and I, together as one, stronger than ever.
The heart of a human is as strong as the claws of a tiger,
we dig deeper and deeper till it's impossible to let go,
never giving up on this life of worry and pain,
enabling ourselves to see light at the end.
Powerful beyond the limits of our minds,
Only God knows how far we can climb.
Higher and higher we must fly above the black clouds,
replacing thunder and lightning with warmth and fresh air.
We are the pinnacle of what life has to bring,
but hiding ourselves won't help us to win.
We have the power to open our shells, spread out our wings,
revealing to nature our colors and dreams.
Now come hold my hand and don't worry,
let us step forth out of harms way.
Alive to the love that this life has to offer,
You and I, together as one, stronger than ever.
let us step forth together out of harms way.
Alive to the love that this life has to offer,
You and I, together as one, stronger than ever.
The heart of a human is as strong as the claws of a tiger,

Be Brave and Keep Faith
This world that I live in is driving me crazy.
Walking down my street, it's like...hell is where I live in.
A teenage girl carrying a baby in her womb,
unable to stand under the weight of stress and intoxication.
A girl being raped down the alley by young men,
drugged from their senses by hopelessness...no future.
A man passes me by, his face a black mask
to the fear and depression that has taken him from within.
A rope hangs low to my side, a noose being tied by
a youth so desperately lost, life's just going too slow.
I stop for a minute and close my eyes... free my mind.
It's a desperate thing that this world is so blind.
6 billion people line my path, clouds hanging over,
not all, but enough for me to be appalled.
I continue on my way, not sure of what there'll be,
but sure it won't be something your kids should see.
Two men shouting out, over nothing much, but hell,
it's enough for a knife to the throat, now he's dead.
Police on the scene, not that they can intervene,
the human ego's too big to be disciplined for real.
A mob on the corner, getting larger as they tweet.
Ready to march for freedom, not knowing what it is.
I go on, my mind a haze of exhaustion from these realities,
My heart pounding heavily, in hope it's all a bad dream.
I stop for a minute and close my eyes...free my mind.
Now that to me is freedom. Inner peace and quiet,
A space for me to think what I want, when I want.
No to be told where to go, what to do or who to be.
That's freedom.
A man walks up to me, half naked, skin and bone.
He say's "please sir, a penny for a man who has no home?"
I bow my head and walk ahead, embarrassed... ashamed.
A kid runs up to me, barefoot and dirty, wanting no more than a smile or 'hello'.
A Mother on the path, caring for her newborn child with nothing more than love.
The minutes pass as days, strolling in this place called home,
If this is home, what is hell? I fear the thought.. it's all a dream!
But no, this is life, this is reality. There's no escaping, there's no waking up.
I stop for a minute and close my eyes... free my mind.
Now that to me is escaping from a battle zone.
A place for me to feel at ease, not worrying about reality,
not worrying about the problems that society creates.
I move forward, knowing the road still stretches way ahead.
Boys and girls lie ill to my right, suffering from curable disease.
Malaria and influenza, typhoid and tetanus, cholera and rabies
responsible for mass deaths... innocent lives we should have saved.
One block up I hear a bomb go off, US, Iraq... they're at it again.
A school of infants the victims again...does it matter who did it?
The kids are gone, their parents are broken, that's pain enough
to know you're both wrong. Battling in war ain't getting you to heaven.
I stop for a minute and close my eyes...free my mind.
For all of you who still worry... be brave and keep faith.
The world has lost its way, but tomorrow is another day.
You can't ever fail so long as you keep trying!
Be brave and keep faith...that's freedom.

We Gotta Keep On Walkin...
We gotta keep on walkin...
We gotta keep on walkin!
This world of ours, it needs to wake up...
Destroying you and me, I think our days are numbered!
Only strength will defeat, as we push forward in life,
Do we fall victim to the greed of our needs, or rise like a phoenix
ready to burn up in flames for love and life to continue?
Bringing our dreams into life, eyes wide open, never a doubt.
I know we can win in every endeavor, not failing ourselves,
upholding our faith, backs to the wall, I know we have it in us!
We gotta keep on walkin...
We gotta keep on walkin!
We at war with ourselves, not knowing what we fightin for,
Killing eachother for a barrel of black gold,
not knowing that blood and flesh is of real value to the world.
Pointing guns at the innocent for being who they are,
not realizing that we're wrong 'cause we're brainwashed with fear,
eating from within', not leaving us to live free of sin.
Superpowers think they have power but they're nothing
more than the poor man lying on the street,
not a bed or a crumb, hoping for a penny or a smile
but getting frowns and disgust in return.
Only strong as our weakest link,
we forget to pay attention to what's truth,
inflicting pain on ourselves with all this ignorance and blame.
But, yes...
I know we can win in every endeavor, not failing ourselves,
upholding our faith, backs to the wall, I know we have it in us!
Hunger for freedom will never be relieved,
without feeding the hungry and starving families deprived.
Thirst for peace and survival will never be relieved
without digging wells of trust between the rich and poor.
The darkness that encompasses our lands is nothing but an emptiness,
a vacuum waiting to be filled with the light and love of my heart and yours.
We have the power, we have the energy, we have the answers, we are the light
but we are the cause, we are the failures, we are the depression and we are the darkness.
But, yes...
I know we can win in every endeavor, not failing ourselves,
upholding our faith, backs to the wall, I know we have it in us!
We gotta keep on walkin...
We gotta keep on walkin!
Emerge from your blackness, emerge from your nightmares,
emerge from your failures,emerge from your depressions,
emerge from your weakness, emerge from your shadows,
emerge from your fears, emerge from your tragedies,
emerge from your hell, emerge form your sickness,
emerge from your darkness, emerge from yourself.
Awake to your light, awake to your strengths,
awake to your optimism, awake to your power,
awake to your dreams, awake to your health,
awake to your success, awake to your love,
awake to your hope, awake to your prosperity
awake to your fortune, awake to yourself!
I know we can win in every endeavor, not failing ourselves,
upholding our faith, backs to the wall, I know we have it in us!
We gotta to keep on walkin...
We gotta keep on walkin!

Fear and Happiness
The great man Winston Churchill once said
"I am an optimist. It doesn't seem too much use being anything else".
He's right, isn't he?
The last few weeks, if not months, have been long. They have been slow and monotonous, boring and pointless, lacking any sense of direction at all. It's been hard.
This week however, I want to be different. I want to be positive, I want to be the optimist I once was. I want to see the glass half full, I want to see the bright side of the problems in front of me, I want to see a smile on my face every time I look in the mirror. I just want to be happy!
The biggest question on my mind today... What's the source? What is the source of all this negativity that I have fallen victim to? Where does it come from? Why does it exist? What is its purpose?
I'm not stupid, therefore I know I can't answer the above questions, and even if I did, I'd be powerless to make change. That, of course, is life.
I believe the source is ourselves. In otherwords, our own wrong doings, failures, weaknesses. That's where all the negativity begins. Most of all, it's our own fears. Our fear of making mistakes, and of being mistaken. Our fear of death, and our fear of living. The fear of our shadow and what we are and aren't capable of doing.
Here's a verse from Lupe Fiasco's 'Words I Never Said'. Pay attention, It sums up exactly my feelings!
"I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion thats why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I’m scared of even telling you
Sometimes I’m like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I’m locked inside a cell in me, I know that there’s a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through
It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said"
You see? That's exactly it!!
These minds of ours have us all locked up! We simply can't get out what it is we want to say, what it is we feel! Society is responsible for that. Indirectly of course. It is still, in principal, the fault of our own weakness.
Now, the fact is that we will never defeat our fears. If ever something was impossible, defeating our fears is that thing. We can however, push them around. We can shove them into the darkness, into the shadows...but ONLY if there is light. In fact, Albert Einstein once pointed out that there is no such thing as darkness...just an absence of light. You cannot measure darkness... only light. Similarly, there is no such thing as cold...just an absence of heat. You cannot measure cold...heat is the energy.Einstein's lesson can be put into action when we look at the empty space that is our emotional health.
There is no such thing as depression or darkness, only the absence of happiness and light.
We make the mistake of believing darkness is an energy in its self. It is not. It is a vacuum waiting to be filled, and only you and I can do that!

Dreamgirl
She smiles at me, like a blind man sees...
Like the nights turned to day and my dreams become real.
No words need she say, her eyes speak more clear.
Soul-mates in a flash, my life's come to life.
Before was just me, alone, a misfit.
My thoughts stretching farther than you'd ever believe,
the world was my oyster, but no pearl could I find...
'til you came along.
It's hard to believe that this could be real,
I rub my eyes to make sure they see clear.
There she remains, graceful, no fear,
Patiently waiting for me to appear.

Sandcastles and The Sea
Life's like building a sandcastle.
You sweat and you burn under the sun,
slaving away as you build your masterpiece,
your pride and your joy.
When your work is complete and the day is done,
you lie back in the sand to admire your effort.
But the minutes tick by and the water draws near,
next thing you know, your castle disappears...

Beautiful Woman
I think I just saw the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life.
You know the way you see a girl out of the corner of your eye and then you
quickly turn again to get a better look. And then you turn away but end up looking back again!
Yeah, that's the kind of girl she was, but I could've easily looked back ten times over
only for the fact she was standing directly behind me!
I think she'd have noticed!
Well, she's gone now.
Perhaps I can catch the attention of someone like her sometime.
I'll keep dreaming anyway.

Time Ticks On
1, 2, 3, my mind ticks on before it blows,
4, 5, 6 like this time, it just wont slow!
What asshole created time?
Pressure and stresses on my mind.
If it weren't for the concept of time, I'd always be on time!
No putting shit off, waiting for another half hour,
You and I could live forever, No more borders!
Night and day could be as one,
where black is just a time to sleep!
The stars would shine as you and I lie quiet,
Our dreams floating silent through the night!
And as the sun comes up, so too will I
living life to be free, not just to be seen!
Like fast flowing water through a river bend,
I'll have my ups and my downs,
but my path will go on until I reach my end,
where I'll bow my head, and be glad to be home!

Question Marks
Fear in their eyes they defy what is life,
Bombing and killing innocent lives that fight for what's right.
The world is a dangerous place, no mans land in every corner of our lands. Murder and rape a fixed news report, terrorists and criminality a never ending truth. Drugs and abuse are never far away.
Where is the answer to this illness that we breathe? Is it a question for politics and the state, or simply the fault of you and me? Cameron and co. can't be blamed for riots and hate. Obama and co. can't be blamed for terrorism and more. Cowen and Ahern can't be blamed for recession and greed.
Now I think it's time we ask were we born to sin? Are we blind to the fact that we're weak deep within? Are we selfish with greed, rotting our values to sin, our sense to resent, our childlike affection and innocence to no more than what's best for myself?
Now I think it's time we ask were we born to sin? Are we blind to the fact that we're weak deep within? Are we selfish with greed, rotting our values to sin, our sense to resent, our childlike affection and innocence to no more than what's best for myself?
I'm longing for the day that the world will change ways, the poor will look down at the rich of today. Hah, now that's a big dream! Surely we've got better things to do than play ill, like opening our eyes to all that is real. Opening our eyes to the beauty of a smile, or lending a hand to the lost and confused.
The satisfaction of giving is free for all, yet taking innocent lives is trending worldwide.
What kind of sick minds feel joy in these crimes?
Too many people fear opening their eyes, but waking up is what we all need,
Even if it is easier to remain with our eyes closed!

Free As Fresh Air
Understand what you've become, don't be afraid of who you are.
Not afraid to face your shadow,
Not afraid to live life as you are.
Not afraid of what may prevail,
Whether that means success or fail!
You are the only one that can make things right,
Don't think someone else will fight your fight.
You have a secret weapon down deep within,
So close your eyes and feel new life creep in.
Believe and you'll feel free as fresh air.
Happy Feast Day of Mother Teresa / Sep 5

You said you'd be here,
I said I'd be there!
Guess two wrongs make a right!
Fuck, wouldn't that be nice.
Nah, nothin' good's ever nice!
Life's not so black and white!
Sha la la, haha, should I really care?
Sha la la, haha, nah, I really don't care!
What a funny little world we're livin' in here.
The clock keeps tickin'
The day turns to night,
but time stays the same!
Our lives go unchanged,
God plays his game.
The Devil never fails.
Sha la la, haha, should I really care?
Sha la la, haha, nah, I really don't care!
What a funny little world we're livin' in here.

Pangaea
250 million years ago you and I were neighbours.
250 million years ago you and I shared the one land.
250 million years ago you and I were one tribe.
Think about it...
Just think about it.
You and I drank from the same cup,
You and I fished the same seas,
You and I farmed the same earth,
You and I breathed the same air,
250 million years ago you and I didn't exist
but if we did...would we have lived in peace?
Pangaea, Pangæa, or Pangea (pronounced /pænˈdʒiːə/ pan-jee-ə,[1] from Ancient Greek πᾶν pan "entire", and Γαῖα Gaia"Earth", Latinized as Gæa) was the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras about 250 million years ago, before the component continents were separated into their current configuration.

Something's Not Right!
Someday you'll see things my way...
You'll feel the way I've always felt.
You'll feel a chain tied tight 'round your feet,
holding you down so you can't ever escape.
You'll feel the ground fall from beneath
leaving a mountain to climb, or else face defeat!
Someday you'll see things my way...
You'll want to stand up and shout,
never afraid of where your words get out,
no longer the victim of victims that doubt!
Don't care what they think,
just stand up and shout!
You and I have voices so why be quiet?
You and I have our rights so why not fight?
Take a look around and tell me I'm not right,
Excuse me, but this world might not see tomorrow...
I don't care what they say...something's not right!
Stay silent, and forever live through long nights

Fuck this and fuck that...
Too often I'm like...fuck this and fuck that!
Releasing my anger in the words that I write.
Blowing my fuse in hope I'll cool down,
but defeating frustration's not as easy as that!
So I'll stop and rewind, go back and press play.
Stay calm and sit still, let shit come my way.
I'll open my arms and welcome who's there
Leading pain and frustration right down my lane.
With a smile on my face, I'll be patient and brave,
knowing these people are suffering, quiet, but scared.
No love in their hearts, my strength I must share,
Fuck this and fuck that, won't get me there...
I'm better than that!
"Always be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle"

10 years
I want to travel more, see the world proper.
See all the places I hear in the news everyday, with my own two eyes. Speak with people. Learn from people. Get to know people. Befriend people…Arabs, Americans, Palestinians, Israeli, Irish, English, Asian, African, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist….By 2021 I just want to understand more, know more, feel more!
(close your eyes and listen)
(close your eyes and listen)
Society
My self portrait shows no signs of me
no, not like this mind I know inside of me.
Tied tight to their false sense of insecurity
People don't want me to feel so free.
Corrupted by the world outside their lives,
Living free's not as as easy as it seems.
I can see their fear creeping up on me,
so I stop. take a minute. then breathe.

I look up and ask God to please help me.
Looking up I realize that nothing I can see.
Blinded by the night, it's too black for me to see.
Afraid I'll be the change that one cannot foresee
The world of fear has grabbed me by my sleeve.
In times like this I know I must find my inner belief.
I turn to my mind saying 'dig deep inside of me'.
The fire from within lights bright so I can see,
My path is set out right in front of me.

The Common Dream
The curtains are shut
The lights are out
My minds a maze
and I'm so lost in that.
The worlds gone black
And all my dreams are back
Nothing I cannot do
I am my own man now
There is no end to this
As I fly through the sky
Lost at thought it's like
I'm on the great escape
I'm in my own world now
Play by my own rules now
Nothing I cannot do
I am my own man now
No pain right here no
Just love and cheer
Nothing for me to fear
No it's just all so clear.
I want to jump so high
'cause I'm my own man now
This world is mine
so I'm a free man now
I want to shout so loud
Frustrate all my fears
I'll win my full mind back
Get my life on track
Oh you and I can do
What the world still thinks
Is way beyond our reach
Nothing we cannot do.
The lights are out
My minds a maze

Balance
I met a man today. He's kind of an important man... as importance goes.
He's not just an important man but he's a knowledgeable man.
He's a gentleman. A respected man.
He's from the same village as me and although I see him often,
I have never stopped to speak with him, other than the usual 'hello' and 'how are ya?'
He's the main man in charge of our President's safety here in Ireland and abroad.
He's kinda high up, you know.
We talked about me going to India to work with Mother Teresa's organisation,
and he talked of his time in Liberia where he also spent time working and helping the MC's.
He spoke of his time in Gaza, Lebanon the Middle East etc.
With the Irish Army it's all peace keeping missions, where both sides of the problem need to be on board for any resolution to be found, and progress to be made.
"Keep a balanced view...don't become a native" he told me.
He's right and he knows a whole lot more than me.
He is a seasoned traveler and struggler in the search for peace and what's truth.
He has helped me to focus and to take a step back.
To look at the world from the most neutral position possible.
To look at the world through my own eyes and not from this side or that side.
To take it all in.
To put the weight of both sides onto the scales and to balance it out.
Balance...it may mean mind over heart...but for now...it's better that way.

Stabbed By Satan
Stabbed By Satan...it means...fear.
To be infected by fear...as each and every one of us are.
Fear is a part of life, just as love is a part of life.
You cannot escape fear,
So do not try to escape fear.
By accepting fear as your own,
it somehow becomes less scary.
By rejecting fear and placing yourself above fear,
you will slowly be dragged back by fear.
You cannot beat fear...
You can just get to know fear,
Become one with fear,
Befriend your fear and it will not touch or hurt you.
(Remember, Love hurts us just as much, if not more, than fear)
Fear is a part of life, just as love is a part of life.

My Greatest Fear
I feel like a weight is knotted tight 'round my feet, like the shackles of a slave, they won't let me go!
My mind is a maze and I'm lost a long way from home.
The clouds and the fog rain down on my thoughts, like a drought would never believe!
I am nothing but a wanderer, wishing to go farther than the breeze.
My dreams are my destination and my tears are nothing but obstacles on the way.
I must learn to take and to leave, as I come face to face with my fears!
Runaway I sometimes say, but to where can I go?
From the depths of the sea to the bright lights of the streets,
there's nowhere on Earth I can getaway from Me.
Mind vs. Heart
That's my greatest fear.
I must learn and improve at letting things go.
I have to have the clear vision God wants me to have,
To know when a good thing must end,
and when a good thing should continue.
Half A Story
The rain pours down, slamming heavily into the windows, as the gusts of wind drive it from behind!
Everything fades away as I sit here, quiet, relaxed, wanting nothing more than to be left alone.
The hour is late yet still my mind is sharp, my eyes as clear as the raindrops that fall from the sky.
The kettle is boiling the water up for that warming cup of tea. My family are sleeping now.
The empty sound of silence leaves me feeling as though I'm the only remaining human alive.
15,16,17, I turn the volume up a little. Enough to get my feet bouncing, but not too much...I'd rather not interrupt my sisters dreams. She has big exams coming up you know...Maths, French...etc. She's probably having nightmares rather than dreams! I thought about it today. What a waste of 6 months of life, all that study! I can't remember anything from my high school classes.
The End
(just lost complete interest in continuing this story! Sorry for wasting 2 minutes of your life!)

She has big exams coming up you know...Maths, French...etc. She's probably having nightmares rather than dreams! I thought about it today. What a waste of 6 months of life, all that study! I can't remember anything from my high school classes.
The End

The Corner
Ever present and ever listening,
where stories never go untold,
where stories never go unheard,
where stories never go untold,
where stories never go unheard,
full of truths and lies of before.
A place where the fear to speak
A place where the fear to speak
is lost to the heavy burden of facts.
Facts of life and facts of actions,
actions that can't ever be changed,
or forgotten, but through their release in the corner.
A place where our common weakness
may come to the fore, without the
usual embarrassment that one may bare.
Where your struggles become similar to mine,
and you no longer feel alone in the world.
With a cup of tea or a can of beer,
the stories will go on as they have before.
The corner is listening, so do not fear,
your words won't go farther than
that door over there!

Look Up At The Sky
I look up at the sky,
oh I look up at the sky...
I dream of days gone by when
I felt that I could fly,
oh I could fly so high!
But I'm sitting down right now,
cloudy skies keep raining on my mind!
I fear the world I live in is nothing but a lie...
oh lies, lies, lies, nothing but more lies.
I feel it's time I up and leave to see it for myself.
The bombs that do rain down, may not read 'from Palestine',
but David's stars and stripes they be, until they hit the streets,
where people of true peace and love are left to bleed and weep.
Lies, lies, lies...the tabloids they do read, one way traffic is all you see,
so please, please please...turn off the BBC.
Obama I do feel has lots of love appeal, but as President of USA,
he's a puppet on a string, locked into a history of 'I win, you lose',
no matter who you are!
War on terror, war on peace...they're very much the same!
Are we really fighting for true UNity, or is all to be 'just ME'?
Without my enemies I can't be true to me!
Enemies are nothing more than tests for you to see,
the potential of the fire that burns in you since birth.

I felt that I could fly,

And the same cloudy skies are raining down
on African boys as they walk many miles.
Sitting in class, with nothing more than air they breathe free,
and the sun burning backsides with all its degrees!
No book, no pens, no hope. No way to break free from the shackles
tied tight round their feet!
-
Who tied the shackles so tight 'round their feet?
Was it you and I as we sat down to a feast?
or was it the USA and all its 'Fair Trade'?
-
Who tied the shackles so tight 'round their feet?
Have you got the key or did you throw it to sea?
To hide the lies covering defeat like #OBL is too hard to beat!

Babies In A Cradle
Dear God,
I think we need to talk once more!
Everyday I see the pain and misery, of your people that live down here!
You sit on your throne looking at me, like watching volcanoes about to erupt.
But I'm blowing up inside and still I can't get my message across!
The thoughts of what the world should be, remain locked up inside of me!
One man against the world... it will not work as you may seek,
My word is not strong enough, so how can it be a message of belief,
For all the world to feel and see that they are truly free to be!
-
I trust in your beliefs for the peace of the worlds humanity
But when your blueprints were drawn I fear the lines were unclear!
The world is fucked up, like you didn't plan for the greed of one man,
Thirsty for power, our minds have grown more,
From Dublin to Dubai, Gaza to Hawaii,
the world has grown small,
so packed tight in this space, we were sure to start fights!
Like babies in a cradle, we remain in your power,
but lost in our thoughts, we think it is ours!
I think we need to talk once more!
Everyday I see the pain and misery, of your people that live down here!

The Road Ahead
I walk around every day thinking what the fuck?
Thinking how fucked up is this place, in its funny funny ways!
As I watch the people acting in their strange strange ways!
1, 2 , 3, 4, once I saw a man alive, 5, 6, 7, 8, then I heard that he was dead!
Oh well!
Is life really worth all the fussin' about, running from funeral to funeral,
feelin' depressed at the loss of life.
To be honest I really don't care right now!
I feel like I'm the only one!
The man down the road is dead...so what?
Death is a part of life, be happy that you were here at all!
Don't be sad and don't be afraid!
You've lived your days here, so smile for all that lies ahead!

Breakaway
What is my worth??
What is my place here on Earth?
Do I exist through the eyes of my Lord?
Have I any control?
I look through the eyes of a person who's lost...not knowing where I'm going,
Can somebody please tell me the way to the top?
because, I've been searching but I just can't find my way to the top.
It's like a glass ceiling is right above my head! There's no way to breakthrough, bulletproof, I just can't win!!
I lie in my bed, frustrated by this life, this fire burning up inside, like this life is my hell.
But still I do get up, I throw my clothes on and then I slip into my trainers before I look into the mirror.
I don't know what I see but I think it must be me! Confused by myself, healthy and bright, fooled into thinking nothings wrong, but the world inside this case is something more irate.
My life is a game and I think I'm pretty good. Everyone sees me and thinks what a lovely happy guy.
But the truth is that's really just a lie. I smile when I'm angry and I cry when I just don't care!
My mind is a maze where only I know the way. False identity takes center stage most of the day!

Don't Lie
From this day forth I pledge to talk my thoughts
Leaving all the stress and pain, free to roam the world again.
I think that I will face threats, to all my time of peace and faith
Leaving all the stress and pain, free to roam the world again.
I think that I will face threats, to all my time of peace and faith
But my mind will once again be mine, free to breathe and see again.
With a breath of fresh air I will be ready to fight,
living for what's right in life, and ignoring all the pain of play.
Free from fear, I fear nothing, living only 'cause I need to be something,
more and more I see something, clearer and clearer it becomes something.
Barriers remain in sight because of all the lies they write,
BBC, write what they see, even if they cannot see.
CNN, well when did the page ever reject ink?

One Simple Vision
One simple vision is fixed up in my mind.
I don't really know how to project it out, but if I did, it'd probably look something like this:
The skies would be clear, barely a single cloud to be seen. The sun would be hot...but not too hot. It would be a pleasant hot where going for a run or going out to do a little gardening would be tempting. The air would be light and the calm breeze would be refreshing and cool, like the bottles of beer resting in the fridge, waiting to be cracked open as the first beads of sweat begin to roll down my back. I would sit on the swinging sofa placed in the corner of the garden. I would sit, relaxed and calm, and I would look and listen, intrigued. Breathing the fresh country air I would listen as the birds sing happily while the the trees rustle quietly. The dogs would play like children, unfazed by their environment, seeing only the endless possibilities of fun that children do see. I would take them down to the river for a swim. Throwing pebbles into the water for them to find, hopeless of course, but they wouldn't know that. No, it is always onto the next one. I would walk on a little farther to the place that is my dream. The roof would be fixed and there would be apples on the trees. The house would be cleaned and the tv no longer on the blink.
One simple vision is fixed up in my mind...but the clock keeps pushing it away!
My eyes are fixed wide open and I see what I see. I hear what I hear and I know that this is my place.
Like when I walk into a church I feel at peace. I wish you all could feel like this.
O Lord, I wish you could be here to show me where to go and what to do! I'm just sitting here wondering what good can I do. The world around me seems to be falling down, as here I live at ease, no worries at all. Only me and my life, and the question of what to do?
I don't have to think of where to go as my house is bombed right out. I don't have to watch my step like the boys without a shoe. I can sit right here and not be scared of what's falling from the sky. I'm from a place where I don't have to close my eyes to escape! I have to close my eyes to imagine all the reality of your life as you close your eyes in hope that it will stop at that! I don't think it's right but every night I fall asleep and wake the next day, forgetting all the pain I have previously felt, while reading Jazeera and the news that's worlds away! I think it's easy for me to say that I can relate, but the fact is I can say nothing that will help you face the strain of your everyday!
I get frustrated as I sit and I read but I get up and I leave to eat and breathe, forgetting the pain I've only just seen! I close my mind for the day and live a shallow life. I could tell you about my day at work or how long I lay in bed but it's not worth the time I've spent! I'm not worthy to be, unless I get up and be! I feel I need somebody to help pull me away from the curse of this game, to pull me away from the love of all the hype and the fame. Someone to tell me just be, because that's all God wants you to be! To tell me I am no superhero, although I may think I can be a super hero! I have the power to be a super-me but not to be a super-you or a super-jay-z!
I now have one simple vision, and that's just to be me!

Hakuna Matata.....
Lil Wayne - Tie My Hands (Instrumental)
Please listen as you read :)
What's so difficult about living together,
not looking over your shoulder to see who's there?
Please listen as you read :)
What's so difficult about living together,
not looking over your shoulder to see who's there?
I just want to live life to the fullest, and not have to be scared!
There's too much drama, and there's too much pain.
There's too much hate and there's too many people cheating this game.
Why can't we stop and shake hands with the men over there instead of cursing their name, as they do the same. I know for a fact that they're really quite nice. They want to be happy and just live their life.
Why can't they pray in peace to Allah, while I speak to Yahweh? One God up above, loves us all the same!
-
Why hold a grudge as the clock ticks away! Forgive and forget 'cause that's the only way!
We've each got one life so don't let hate gnaw away,
or you'll be left soulless and cold for the rest of your days.
God gave us his land so why can't we share?
Passports and visas have created differences that really aren't there!
So, what's so difficult about living together,
not looking over your shoulder to see who's there?
I just want to live life to the fullest, and not have to be scared!
You may own half the worlds banks, but not the West Bank, so put your hands in your pockets and take them off of their land. Palestine will rise high just as their flags have kept flight, the truth I'm sure will very soon come to light. From the shadows of slavery, this nation will break free. Israeli chains will be replaced with the support of a global family. As I lie in my bed, these are my prayers! I know life's really not fair but, without a little hope, I may as well go put some rope 'round my neck, and say a last prayer.

Now I'm not trying to say that I know it all... 'cause I don't!
The fact is I know nothing at all, as K'Naan did say! but that also means I'm free!
It means that I have the freedom to BE. I have the freedom to feel and the freedom to breathe,
and no-one... no-one can take that away from me!
-
Hakuna Matata...Don't worry... be happy...
I guess it's easy to say when you're living in peace...

God Favours Me. Right???
I am living the dream.
I am flying high like a kite
Ahead of the crowd, like, I am a champion
But, the fact is, I was born a champion.
I haven't had to build a foundation,
I haven't had to wait my turn, and
I haven't had to say 'I wish'.
I was born a champion,
so I have no excuse for living ill.
I haven't ever felt hunger bite like hate,
nor have I walked a mile to learn my trade.

I haven't ever felt hunger bite like hate,
nor have I walked a mile to learn my trade.
I haven't had to sleep to sounds of war ringing out,
and I haven't had to live my life without electricity or water by night
I'm stacking my treasure while they're running for shelter.
and I'm sitting in comfort while they're dying from hunger,
I'm enjoying the summer while they're burning with anger.
and I'm throwing back beers while they're throwing stones at a tanker.

God just favours ME....right???

Supplication
Sami Yusuf - Supplication
O My Lord,
My sins are like
The highest mountain;
My good deeds
Are very few
They’re like a small pebble.
I turn to You
My heart full of shame,
My eyes full of tears.
Bestow Your
Forgiveness and Mercy
Upon me.
Ya Allah,
Send your peace and blessings
On the Final Prophet,
And his family,
And companions,
And those who follow him.
A Thousand You and Me's!
My light may shine bright,
but without a thousand others
it will not disperse the shadows of fear.
Worlds Apart
I am Dilip and I'm from Kolkata, India. As far as I know I'm 12 years old but I'm not so sure. I come from the streets of Park Circus, a large district in the south of the city. I live with my Mama and my younger brother. We don't have a house but yesterday I found a new blanket so Mama was very happy. I like my home, it's not very comfortable but I am close to my friends. Every morning I wake up early and collect empty bottles from the streets. Sometimes I even take my brother and we go to the station at Sealdah. Running by the trains is always fun and we usually collect empty bottles when the crowds leave the platforms. Lately though it has been difficult because the weather is so hot, and we don't have a lot of water. Some of the kids on my street go to school but I can't. Mama says I have to work so we can eat, because she has no money. Before Papa left I went to school and it was fun. Sometimes I wish I could go back... In the evening time I like to play cricket in the street. We can play for hours and hours but I never get tired of playing, like Tendulkar!! My feet get sore though, my shoes were stolen 2 weeks ago so now I must find some more. Sometimes I sit on the street on Park Street, near McDonalds. There are always white people there with nice shoes. I wish I could have them but instead they give me 2 rupee. Someday I will be rich and I will buy a big house, some clothes and a pair of new shoes.
Half way around the world...
Half way around the world...
I am Iarlaith Pádraig McNamara, 21 years old. I'm Irish and proud. I come from a good family and have had a good childhood. I am well educated and well brought up having been given every opportunity to do what I want. I live in the countryside where the wind blows softly and the air I breathe is as fresh as God meant it to be. The trees are tall and the fields are green. The river by my house flows gently and peacefully. When I come home at night and the skies are clear, I stop and I gaze as the stars shine bright. The silence of life takes over as my mind is taken away by the mysteries above. When the cold starts to bite I walk inside to the heat and comfort of my house, where I rest for the night. I have a job in the local store and I'm well paid. A full weeks work usually puts €350 into my bank account. I'm doing ok. I study in the National University of Ireland, Galway. I study Spanish, Psychology, Sociology and Politics, and Geography. I like my subjects, but I don't love them. Sometimes I think I study for the sake of studying! What else could I do with my time? Well? I have a good life in Galway. I eat out often, and I can afford to eat well all the time. I play sports a lot. Sports have always been a passion. Football, Basketball, Cricket, Badminton etc. I like them all! I like music too, everyday, listening to my iPhone with my big headphones. I like clothes and shoes too. Nike Air Force 1's are a must have, as I wear my Hugo Boss and my Ralph Lauren. I like to travel too, when I have time. I boarded an airplane 34 times over the last 2 years. Yes, I have a high carbon footprint.
I have a lot to be grateful for, eh? I have no excuse, eh? I have had everything in life placed before me, the opportunities to be what I want to be, to be who I want to be, to do what I want to do! I have had the opportunities that more than half the worlds population wish they could say they had!
Why me though? Why am I here while they are there? Huh?
The happiest moments in my life belong in India, working with the dying as they lie on the streets. Working with the kids rejected as babies by mothers who felt rejected by life. It was those kids that helped to fill my heart with love and it was that discomfort of living in the searing heat and the absence of false happiness that leads me to want to do something with MY life. Because it is MY life, and nobody can take that away from me. I can do what I want with MY life. I can sit here and waste away living in the falsities of a world that loves itself or I can wake to the world that offers more, a fulfillment that I need, because without it, life will fail to live up to the expectations I have placed upon it.
This is my life and I have to live it, because nobody else can do it for me!!

why not me?
Take some time to stop now and breathe!
Close your eyes and let your mind and body scream,
letting go of the frustrations and memories that never cease!
Although I’m young I feel as though I’ve seen everything
And although I’m naive now I feel as though I know everything
I keep having these dreams of living in a place where the kids
see nothing but peace…nothing but peace…nothing but peace
Oh, how much I wish I could let that line just repeat…just repeat!
But instead those kids continue seeing misery living in the streets.
I sit and I think as I drink my cup of tea.
Are we the same? Do we live in the same world? Are we playing the same game?
I wear my Nikes and my Ralph Lauren while they seek for their breakfast in the rubbish bin.
Sure I’ve said this enough and I’ve been there to see their tragedy.
But still I have to ask, why not me?

Senseless Sarkozy
We can legalize divorce and continually ignore many of our Christian values
yet ban the Islamic women from wearing a niqab or burqa,
as they stay committed and true to their religious values...why?
Does this make sense Mr. Sarkozy?

Bad Day For The Books
Ok, it's like... what am I doing here?
I stop and I look, faces all blank, scrunched up like they're asking 'What the fuck??'
This means this and this means that. Freud says this and Skinner says that!
Now whatever you say... it's probably wrong!
All eyes on the book, like it's a ticket into life.
Building themselves up for the journey ahead,
with the words and wisdom of people whom are dead!
Ummm...didn't the journey begin 20 odd years ago?...what more is there to prepare for?
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus. Well doesn't that sound interesting!
What the fuck is Sisyphus...does it matter??
Should I ask the girl sitting across from me if it's inspiring her?
Sure as hell doesn't look like it, as she gazes out the window, slouched in her chair!
The girl to my left, nice pink shirt!
I'll admit she's damn pretty but with Facebook opened up,
I think shes really had enough.
The guy to my right I guess has given up.
Head in his hands, it's time to take a nap.
I don't remember what I read 2 mins ago... and I don't remember what the lecture man said!
I remember how to walk and I remember how to talk.
I remember what I want, not what Mr. Darwin thought.
Life is my book. I read everyday as it comes, like it's the only page that counts.
Think for yourself and the world will be yours,
Live by the word of someone else and the world will be theirs.
Sorry, but I have to go! This place is starting to scare me!

The Simple Life
Sometimes it's just the simple things in life that make us happy.

Life!
Hahahahaha, it makes me laugh!
It really makes me laugh!!
This world that we're in....just close your eyes and imagine it!!
Haha...LIFE!!
It's a pretty genius game really, isn't it?
From the tiny tiny ants to the fucking monstrous sun and beyond!!!
Life!
I think I'm crazy to question God.
It blows me away.

Parodies, Murakami Blues, and on to the next one…
Look at the eyes in this place,
scared as the world invades,
nothing but the sight of more pain.
Oh living in this place…people asking God for his grace.
-
New Zealand still sleeps awake, shaken by a quake.
Lives without life left in its wake.
Next…
Eyes as black as the oil that leaves women and kids digging.
Deeper and deeper…oh the hole grows deeper.
Gadhafi and all his might…like Goliath against the Israelites
David I’m sure will come to light!
And this fight will be put on paper, and this paper will be read the world over.
I sense God wants a victory!
Next…
I look on as the rain of hell begins its descent upon Bahrain.
State of emergency today… I think the state’s already too late!
The hurt and pain is already dealt, the love and pleasure no longer felt.
I don’t see an end to this tunnel…not yet.
Next…
Look at Japan, it’s like a scene from a Murakami novel.
Twisted, surreal, imagination to its fullest.
I don’t believe it. It didn’t really happen. The TV screens are just telling lies.
What’s new with TV screens telling lies?
Houses floating down the streets, villages disappearing into the sea!
Lives unaccounted for…like, is God really that lonely??
Seriously…you expect me to believe that?
Haha, like there’s a fucking monster under my bed!!
Lies.
I mean like, if it’s really that bad why haven’t I felt the impact.
I see no scars upon my arms, I feel no hunger in my stomach.
I feel no pain.
I’m just sitting here, smiling at how wonderful my life is.
The sun is shining, and the wind blows softly.
Lies, I tell you!
It didn’t really happen, you know!
BOOM!! Haha, the nuclear reactor just blew up!
Ok, I suppose it’s real now!
-
It’s all about me, isn’t it!
…and oil.
’It’s like that sometimes…fucking ridiculous!
Life’s like that sometimes…fucking ridiculous!’

Reasonable Doubt
Dead Presidents (Instrumental)–Jay-Z
I’m just lying flat, eyes wide open to the life living all around me! The sky is black as the stars shine bright, my mind floats away with the wind… fresh, free, excited, naive!
The stars twinkle like they’re alive, moving with the world, never lost…they just go on…like will they ever die? like…will I ever die?
My spirit lives freely now, lost in the maze of a world so far gone! A world that seems to have lost itself. A world that seems to be tearing itself apart, from the inside out! I soar high above this scene I know so well…will I ever see a clearer picture, other than from the the position in which I live right now, standing on my own 2 feet, unable to swap places, unable to feel anything other than what my heart chooses to feel. Like, have I any choice? I hear the birds sing softly as this day comes to its close…time for the other side to take over now. Time for another me to live their life. The shadow of night falls over me as I gaze silently towards the world above. ‘Could I have been anyone other than me?’ Could I have known anyone other than you?
A star moves slowly across the sky…taking me with it. We move cautiously, happily, freely. Does this world have an end? or will it live on, long after its time, like the stars burning bright. What can we ever give back? after all that we have taken! I wander through the fields filled with life, studying the beauty of all God’s creation…like, too often we forget! I ask, am I in any way more important? or is that belief a wholly man-made belief…like so much more of this world that we live in! Am I really God’s son…or do I follow blindly? I mean like, is the world really flat? Mistakes have been made before. Big ones. Too many unanswered questions lead me to too many misbeliefs.
Where am I going? Not just where am I going in the next few years, or what am I going to do with my life in general…but…where am I going?? Where are any of us going??
You know, I do see a light. I see a happy ending to this unknown journey we have all embarked upon. True, people have travelled these roads before, a million times over! The secrets have been unravelled and the mysteries of life have been put on paper. Yet still, what do we know? What are we supposed to know? Or should I just get on with my life and be happy with what I see before me, making the best of what’s around, before God gives up and says ‘let it rain’, and washes us all away!
Reasonable doubt.
