A Question Mark on Everything

All I know is
all I know?
I used to think
that was right.
However,
I don’t know
anything.
I see the walls,
the windows,
the bed and doors.
I don’t even know them
anymore.
Did I ever know?
I don’t know.
Nothing’s quite real,
but I’m not scared
to be lost.
Maybe knowledge
is nothing more than
an idea?
Reality may be nothing more
than perception?
The only reality I have
is now, and even then
I just don’t know.

The Other Side

Pumping it up
and playing loud,
standing down here
with the silver clouds.

Ain’t too sure
on which way is up,
but for me,
I am enough.

I could always get better,
always improve.
I could be different,
original, new.

I’ve got two options
ahead of me;
just stare at the light
or take a leap.

The cloud is safe,
and right now it’s here.
If I take the leap,
I may face my fear.

So what should I do?
Should I jump and pray?
Yes, the light will be there
any which way.

I’ll take what I know
and face what I don’t.
I’ll be by myself, but
I won’t be alone.

I’ll be pumping it up
and playing loud,
falling down there
through the silver clouds.

Ode to the Finch at My Window

Time and time again
we will fall.
Tests and trials are given
to all of us.
We will weep and curse,
but joy cometh in
the morning. For some
strange reason,
He is there and
will not give up on us.
I have fallen to the end
and I see the beginning of
a new day. I see the beginning
of a glorious day.

Moments of Truth

War wages on in
the civilised world.
Is there something more,
or is life the end?

I know what I think,
but what about you?
Are you happy with eternal black?
Or are the eternities a new beginning?

Religion is old, outdated.
Science is gone, boring.
It’s the day of the celebrity,
an age of fleshy idols.

For the first time in this,
the civilised world,
people do not look outward;
people look to people.

The generations are divided
between what is called conservative
and what is called liberal.
What do these words really mean?

Definitions will change in a year,
maybe less. There is nothing
in all the universe that is set.
Except, except…

A moment in life
can mean everything.
It is only moments that
will make us, shape us.

When we find beauty,
it is eternal, celestial.
Maybe there is something else.
Maybe there is nothing.

The only truth I know
is the truth only I know.

God and Love

Yesteryear, the bells chimed
and we went to worship God.
He loved, He cared, He was proud,
but then it all got flawed.
It was no longer about a love for all,
it was about being right in the eyes of man.
Shots were fired, men fell down,
the line was in the sand.
But if there’s anything I’ve learnt,
it’s that sand is a weak foundation.
We must climb to the sturdy mountaintop
to declare true proclamation.
So let’s go back and remember
the basics that made us strong,
for it’s when man’s pride becomes involved
when man becomes wrong.

Monkey Business

It’s a crazy world
in this day and age,
where the only thing simple
is weird and strange.
It’s quirky, different,
and all kinds of nuts.
This place of ours is simple
when you’re simply a klutz.
So which way’s forward,
back, down, and up?
Just follow the twinkle
in the one that you love.
Here, you only have one duty;
be a little bit fun and a little bit fruity.

Always There

Are you hurt or in a rage,
feeling locked inside a cage?
Are things all wrong and are you sad?
Are you wanting, pained, and mad?

Has the world just passed you by,
left you to suffer as you lie
in the dirt all broken down?
Well don’t worry; you’re not alone.

I’m not the most intelligent man
and I don’t always have a plan,
but when you’re feeling at you worst,
please know that I can ease the hurt.

I’m not a miracle man of wonder,
but I’ll do what I can when you feel under
the bridge, and under the weather;
I am here for you forever.

You are loved and you are wanted;
you are because you’re needed.
The world can be tough, it is true,
but it would be so much harder without you.

So remember, in the darkest of places
light can remove every evil trace.
Bide your time, it won’t be long;
I will bring you back home.
