The only way to live our short lives
is to take each day as it comes
resolute to face each coming dawn
in a respectful and positive way
in peace helping others if we can
unifying people on an equal stand
stopping endless wars and sorrow
hope for a brighter tomorrow!

Nobody can know what you are thinking inside
or how your self-respect is shattered
it is a personal hell you all face just to function
your existence seem totally battered
none of your relationships ever seem to last
but you’re determined to face the past!
Hard as it maybe for us to create a new dream
in the end only we can truly decide
if we can be charming get out with the team
to not be depressed so regain our pride
believe we are as good as anybody around you
through experience know this is true!
Once your confidence has been slowly drained
feeling so much weight on your head
wanting to scream being wound up and tense
thinking the only way out is death
but to remember your children need you there
their love is true for dad really care!
Easy for self-pity to drag you down in a divorce
doctors just offering you pills to take
adults fighting with animosity feelings sour
communications with each other gone
yet your children who are caught in the middle
do not understand the divorce riddle!
For me my sanity was saved by young minds
who wanted their parents to care
to love and not argue or be unhappy together
just share their lives even if apart
so hard for every one but kept in close touch
now all grown up love them so much!

Road surface was breaking up poor maintenance
along the verges much debris
where there had been many road traffic accidents
as cars passed at high-speed
with no thought of the danger that lurked ahead
where there had been many dead!
Sure they were protected in their metal boxes
immune from dying or injury
surrounded by safety features they charge
everything outside was unreal
the electronics efficiently executed control
but onboard computers with no soul!
As the surface crumbled tyres compensated
trying hard yet failing to grip
potholes evermore forming as roads failed
councils bleating they had no money
yet motorists paying large sums in fuel duty
and taxes bringing in lots of booty!
This is then diverted into many other projects
policing has today rapidly declined
as cars often chosen as modes of transport
increasingly used as weapons
for some they are their prefered killing machine
this disregard for life obscene!
Without a license insurance and any conscience
drive after drinking and drug taking
teenager racers to charge at high-speed for fun
thinking they are invincible to dying
too often in tragic circumstances lives are lost
futures hopes and dreams tossed!
Many drive reflecting on their attitude to life!

Its said that human minds are controlled
of course most this did not believe
just another conspiracy theory of nutters
so carried on their material lives
as the increasing violent weather patterns
destroyed isolated communities
few actually ask questions of our eradication
appalled but accepting the escalation!
As fires spread over dry lands lacking the rain
where water was once ample
torrential rain and floods in places normally dry
snow in climates usually hot
many more earthquakes of higher magnitudes
volcanoes dormant for centuries
erupting without anybody getting any warning
countless numbers in deep mourning!
Millions living their daily routine in the rat race
as society started falling apart
around them prophesies of doom just old stories
focusing on their increasing debts
as dates of the predicted end times came and went
threat of nuclear wars rose
it became a noise something for them to discount
even as the evidence did mount!
Until that day knew it was not tales of fiction penned
for us this really was the end!

Held hands bewildered at what surrounded them
shocked covered in thick dust
could only hold on to each other both survived
the huge blast that killed so many
children that did not understand such carnage
or how adults had such rage!
In their short lives had only ever known destruction
warfare that took families forever
born into the putrid odours of death cries of anguish
that never ending wail of mourning
funerals and standing by grave sides of loved ones
and choking smoke filling their lungs!
Now they were alone their home and parents murdered
as a missile struck their only sanctuary
while both outside the explosion shattered many lives
parents and grandparents a brother to
lost evermorer being so young just could not understand
as together stood hand in hand!
TheFoureyedPoet.
Regret the only word he could think of at the time
hidden in the deep military bunker
risking his thoughts being read by the computers
doubting the technology advances
he had created to combat the android revolution
that was now part of our evolution!
Even as the inventor began to think it was crazy
to have created these robotics
but being under orders had to complete this task
finding the answer how to out smart
superior machines created by man’s God complex
their creation had upon all put a hex!
Down in the deep bunker in his sophisticated lab
knew this would not be safe for long
could hear the explosions rapidly becoming louder
secure computers would be hacked
his software had been tested on human subjects
classed by his masters as rejects!
Within the hour alarms rang out in the complex
security arrived said time to go
communication systems immediately shut down
running through escape tunnels
quickly made their way to a high-speed bullet train
their lives desperately trying to retain!
A split second later the whole base was disintegrated
the androids had not killed their mark
unable to eliminate him yet certain software erased
yet this too had also been rescued
so the war would intensify their superiority had ended
into unknown depths humanity descended!
The conflict between man and machine entered a new phase!
TheFoureyedPoet.
Where have they gone those days of fun
to be out with the family in the sun
simple times no television families talking
then no fear of monsters stalking
all together each Sunday for dinner and tea
that filled everybody with glee!
No expectations or need for material wealth
or trips to the gym for your health
plenty of plain food and that afternoon walk
happy then to simply sit and talk
computer games and smart phones yet to be
both hands and thoughts free!
Countryside unspoilt with no motorway blight
or endless buildings to block the sight
any news was not broadcast twenty four seven
holidays not abroad but sunny Devon!
but even then warnings of world destruction
were not broadcast like a film production!
Cannot deny it was far from a perfect society
far from that hope of propriety
to me seemed more contained not in your face
life was at a far slower pace
enjoyment was more simple the pressure less
no buzz word then known as stress!
But every decade has its ample recollections
filled with countless imperfections
catastrophes that shape the course of history
distressing cases that remain a mystery
so each new dawn we face a fresh blank day
to see if our lives continue to replay!
TheFoureyedPoet.
Gazing at the throng of humanity
he sat unable to understand
tired of such a long turbulent life
the memories still clear
unable to comprehend that need
their desire to proceed!
To prolong their lives into centuries
he found after a hundred years
so hard to face always stayed young
as friends and family aged
his girlfriends withered by his side
leaving him when they died!
An enzyme within his DNA the reason
his life seemed to never end
had thought often of taking his own life
but felt it was the cowards way
resigned to wait for that allotted day
hoping it was not far away!
Got up and faded quietly into the crowds
to a lonely life in his home
prepared it maybe another century to live
with more memories to recall
friends to make and then say goodbye
now use to time passing him by!
TheFoureyedPoet.
The official report read an accident
for the loss of many lives
found dead in the dense forest
what was the real cause
mass suicide the police did imply
some felt this was a lie!
Information withheld from the public
a team sent to cover up
as these unexplained deaths increased
all media was censored
truth never reached the public domain
so the deception did remain!
Maybe some sinister force does rule
but the population do not see
what is happening before their eyes
believing stories they are told
images before them taken as real fact
their lives secretly hijacked!
Is this another conspiracy theory or true?
The Foureyed Poet.
As he lay mortally wounded he reflected
on his life and love
the love that never did come his way
feelings of despair
knowing maybe she did exist somewhere
their lives never to share!
Many thoughts flashed by in split seconds
sadness became magnified
a longing in his life that was never shared
she would never know him
nor could he know her but in a dream
how cruel his fate did seem!
With that memory quietly slipped away
never in life to reach that day!
The Foureyed Poet.
