Re: A musical interlude
And for you all, some of my poetry, written with "Imagine" as a background noise of sorts:
Let's Fly Away
Let me take you on a tour
Of a world full of lush forests
And vast oceans
As vast as my love
I'm tired of this nonsense
Let's get away from it all
I'll take you places
You never knew existed
This world makes me weary
The stress is just too much
Let's fly away to a paradise
One that we never knew existed
Because I'm tired of this life
Wary of this game
I wish to love
And be loved back
I feel like it's been a lifetime
And I know it has been
So close your eyes
And we'll go on a trip
We'll fly away together
And leave this nonsense be
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of not trying
If you'll come with me
We can find out what love is
If you'll give me a chance
You'll give love a chance....
No Just Wars
Can't quite describe this feeling
Of nonchalance and apathy
Nothing but war and death
Anger and sadness
What have we come to
And where were we heading
I really don't know
I can't really say
If you asked me
What I took for granted
Freedom ain't one of those things
Because it don't cost a dime
When will you stop and think
What are we doing to ourselves?
Where is this world going?
Why are we dying like this?
Who told you that you had to fight?
Who put that weapon in your hand?
You never had that thought
Up until the day
The day the war came home
I'm sick of all this fighting
I'm bloody sick of all this dying
I'm sick of this government lying
Nothing ever changes
From generation to generation
But if they could end one war
Why can't we end these wars?
Call me naive
But I just don't understand
Why does it have to be this way
Why do we have to pay this way
I ain't no hippie
But thank god I'm not a ****ing boomer
Or General Patton
Or Douglas MacArthur
I hope you enjoy your bitter medicine
Your cold war mentality
You ended one war
But you can't be bothered
Because you think these wars are just wars
The only just wars
Are those where the powers fall
Where did you go wrong?
THESE WARS...ARE NOT JUST
And we're just not going to stand for it anymore
