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!

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) 

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.

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)
