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.     

Life Is Short, But...

It’s true.

Life is short, like we were all a new born child,

Eyes awakening to the sight of this world we know so well.

Eyes blinded by the light, hands feeling for a way in life.

And here we are today, standing on our own two feet!

Twenty years gone by… it’s like I’ve barely blinked an eye.

Time I said goodbye to all that has gone by,

Open up my arms to all that I’ve yet to try.

So now I think it’s time I start to fly,

like the birds there floating through the sky,

Wind at my back I see no reason why I should not try,

like in closing my eyes I see your smile so bright.

I know that in my mind…there remains so much mystery,

but what would life be were I to know too much??

I’m still learning as the world keeps turning,

my mind is in touch with my heart…like God meant it to be,

and I love every minute, now that you’re in it!

Life is short,

but, we’ve got time, so much time!
