The Revolution Will Be Live-Tweeted

While wiling away the lonesome hours

The fire dies away

The subtle form and plays for power

It makes you hang your head

And wonder at this hate filled world

A golden prince in a handsome tower

Keeping girls at bay

What’s the difference between defend and cower?

When words can wound like weapons

Children learn to wield them well

It’s amazing that women haven’t soured

Of lives lived certain ways

There must be a collective willpower

The revolution comes ahead of schedule

It has waited long enough

The time has come to overpower

The world as now it lays

We must o’erturn the bower

Precious things can be destroyed

Only time should be that precious

Once the world has been scoured

We will have our say

No longer will hate devour

And all the world will be empowered

Closing in, almost a win

Tomorrow seems so far away

A long night, a bitter fight

Keeping creeping nightmares at bay

The sun appears and as the end nears

The fear is gone and dying

Time is telling, Joy is welling

There can be no denying

Instincts

Instincts

Sometimes we all need to bay at the moon

To give into to our animal instincts

We need to fall to our knees and roll in the dirt

Feel the pounding of blood in our veins

Because it’s not always about the meter and rhyme

Sometimes we have to throw caution to the wind

For when we can’t be perfect

You may as well make as big a mess as possible

A little dirt under your nails

Only shows how hard you’ve toiled

Sailor's Prayer

Needs must as needs outweigh

Carry the burden, seize the day

In darkest night or calmest bay

The ship is steady, it leads the way

Coming home in the misty spray

As morning breaks, the sailors pray

Home, at last, this time to stay
