The very thought than mankind can solve racism
Or stop destroying the earth
Or put and end to causing animal extinction
Or deciding one day to fight wars no more
Or to look at sharing equally among all classes
Us nothing more than ludicrous it would seem,
That mankind lacks the intellect and the capacity
Is truly sad and a damning indictment of our humanity, or lack of it.
To think all we need to connect is love, for all and every thing in existence.
I don’t like arguements or confrontations
But I find it hard to just allow people to use and abuse me,
I am good natured and a kind soul
But pushed to far I am too old,
To suffer that without saying something back
When I was younger, confidence to do this I lacked,
But. Now I don’t suffer fools gladly
I really do hate reacting badly,
So I can only act in the best way I can
Being true to myself because I am just a man,
Flawed and in no ways perfect
It’s not my way to cause any hurting,
But angry words I may have been spurting
Are a reaction to what I feel I am on the end of,
I wish instead I excised control and offered back love,
But I am still work in progress
And that one day I will be better than this.
Misogyny goes on again
Men patronising women
Truth is they fear strong women
Who out achieve them
And have more guts and balls
Men have had it their way for far to long
As a man I can say this because I am not afraid
As long as that strength embraces compassion too
As long as they retain the love then that’s all good
Equality and diversity shows the strength of a society
So please I beg all women, never be appeased
Or cowed by misogyny.
Truth
Spin, spin, spin
This is the government talking,
They do not tell it the way it is
They just keep on lying,
Spinning negativity
To make it seem positive,
Burying things that are vital
And that they should be exposing,
Spin, spin, spin
To hide their incompetence,
They use the spin as a way
To keep distracting,
So we don’t know what’s true or ain’t
This is the way they operate,
And why they can’t answer questions
Put towards them straight,
They know if the answer truly
The the public would be appalled,
They can never say sorry for their actions
Because they’re got no ethics or morals at all,
Spin, spin, spin
It’s deception don’t be fooled,
It’s an annoying tactic, used by those who rule.
Everywhere I go
And everyone I meet,
I treat my journey as a blessing
And treat people kindly,
After all I see no point
In being nasty or rude,
I say things how I feel
Sometimes I can be crude,
But it’s not because I wish to offend
You see that’s not my way,
It’s just that I grew up
In a hard knock rough estate,
But I still learnt wrong and right
And discovered love and compassion,
I still instilled within myself
The power of kindness to all,
Who treat and speak to my the same way
Which I see as courtesy,
I also show understanding
And tolerance to other peoples beliefs,
Even if I don’t agree, I keep it all polite
I prefer to love than go out my way to have a fight,
I am just a simple man
Who likes a simple life,
But it doesn’t stop me standing up
For what I believe is right,
And exposing bad things hiding in the shadows
By resonating a bright light.
There are bad people I know, I see and here them everyday
But I also know there are good people,
But the bad always occupy center stage
That’s because the majority of bad people,
Like to make their voices heard,
Where as only the minority of good people like to vocalise
They do not want to bring into their life anymore strife,
And then there are those who fall in between these lines
Who are ignorant of the issues,
They’ve been conditioned in their beliefs,
They are not by any means bad people, they just do not understand,
They reverberate nonsensical toxic shit
That they’ve been fed by others,
Fed by twisted hateful minds
Not minds of kind folks and life lovers,
These are the one we need to help educate
And try to convert into the fold,
Then get those good people who are quiet, to speak up and be bold
It’s time to stand up as good people and drown out the bad voices,
Back in 1979 we protested all the time
Protesting against war chanting fight wars not not war,
We stood up for CND against the nuclear threat
Fought for animal rights,
And regimes using oppression and might
To make people disappear in the middle of the night,
We fought for the cause mindful of 1984
It seemed a good target to make changes and more,
The pressure helped with nuclear deceleration
By the superpowers,
And helped reduce down our doomsday hour,
We helped to bring about animal rights change
By reducing down the fur trade,
Helped bring about awareness to animal vivesection
We strive for environmental issues,
Standing up for Greenpeace
Even when their ship got sank,
We kept the pressure going
But since those heady days,
Change has slowed down in many ways,
And even the things we fought so hard against
Seem to be back again,
Trump and Putin are building up their arsenal’s,
And the fur trade of shame
Seems to be coming back slowly everyday,
It’s imperative to ramp things up like extinction rebellion is doing,
Get out on the streets and disturbances start brewing,
For government must be put under pressure
And we must keep pushing a lot more,
Especially when it comes to fighting wars not war.
