  • Around town

    Around town you can see ones Who reflect the drugs and what they’ve done, See the wasted people with their cans of booze That’s all they do, they’ve nothing to lose, A bit of shoplifting and an occasional fight Can barely speak a sentence because they’re drunk or high, There’s a real community within these…

  • Life is like a chess match

    Move the pieces Slot them in place, Life’s like a chess match Do you play it safe, Or go for glory All guns are blazing, As if we are amazing Or are we consistently failing, And does it matter As long as we are trying, From when we’re born Until we are dying, There’s so…

  • Speeding

    My body feels as if it is running At a hundred miles an hour, Yet still I am treading water I don’t seem to be getting too far, My head is continually racing And when I finally stop Then my body will crash, And not for the first time I will feel smashed, It happens…
