Go-A!

Surrounded by heavenly bodies

In every shape and form

None of it matters to me

Solitude is all I want

Hard to imagine a place like this

Where you see things in eternal bliss

No one around gives a damn

But you have water everywhere

There is no torment anywhere

Happiness all the way

The tide is low take a dip

The tide goes high take a sip

Sit in a shack by the beach

Order some breakfast and some tea

Laze the morning in the shade

Get on the bike and ride away

Feel no tension in your way

Get to the next beach and press repeat

I promise, you can do this for weeks

The folk around don’t bother

But some around do matter

Livelihood, the biggest enemy

You'll be fleeced for every penny

In hindsight, it will all fade

The memories will be all that remain

Oh, Goa, you're amazing

Even when the sun is blazing

Just stay the way you are

No matter how near how far

A place where you can Go-A!

Inhuman

Learn the way of the high life

Grow up to be a big shot

But you're still missing shit

From the aforementioned high life

Spit on the sidewalk, inhuman

Trash the road, inhuman

Leave the lights on, inhuman

Burn the oxygen, inhuman

The dogs are wailing, inhuman

The poor are howling, inhuman

The world is crying, inhuman

But you don’t care...

Cause you're inhuman

Follow hypocrisy, inhuman

Put up a facade, inhuman

Say what is tough, inhuman

Do what is easy, inhuman

Respect the pope, inhuman

Diss your dad, inhuman

Salute the president, inhuman

Screw the army, inhuman

Lie to your folks, inhuman

Shy on the world, inhuman

Escape the good, inhuman

Join evil, inhuman

Say A, inhuman

Do B, inhuman

Hail C, inhuman

Ignore D, inhuman

You’re a coward, inhuman

Prick yourself, inhuman

Puff away, inhuman

Down the bottle, inhuman

Drown your sorrows, inhuman

Wake the next day, inhuman

Continue the cycle, inhuman

Hump the world, inhuman

Hypocrisy rules

Faith blues

Emotional diss

Ignorance bliss

Someone oughta slap you, inhuman

Wake the hell up, inhuman

Stop this shit, inhuman

Spare the world, inhuman

Try to be human, inhuman

RUNNING

Lying, cheating, deceit...

What’s the world come to?

Or was it always like this?

The insurance scam

The loan scam

The fodder scam

The software scam

The scams are endless

And hence the shams are endless

The cocky charades and plastic smiles

Never cease to befriend the mind

The deeper the wound

The more you sink

Till you are consumed by glee

And all of you is accounted for

The green is a nasty thing

The smell of it, the feel of it

The habit of it, the want of it

Makes you forget humanity

To the depths of the unknown you fall

Becoming a hungrier beast

Such a part of us it’s become

Guilt doesn't even come up

But, there still lies hope in a few

The ones who think alike

Running the other way

The Wanderer

Sleep in the morning

Wake in the night
Thank the lord you're still alive

Wondering where you were

Confused where you are

An angel on one end

The devil on the other

Rustling between two worlds

He is The Wanderer

In the cold black night

He ventures alone

From the arms of Mary

To the depths of Hades

Feeling the torment everyday

Doing nothing to make it go away

Reunion Bites

At the tender age of 8

You're thrown in the midst of new mates

Living the life of a prince

The school you've gone to is the shit

Years go by with new faces

Growing up seeing changes

The values instilled are there to stay

The wrongs built-in will hopefully go away

Such is the phase of school life

Learn a lot through getting into fights

There are some who do not wish to grow

Trivial bullshit is all they look for

Such was the case back then

10 years later all hasn't changed

Though a decade is a long time to ponder

Going back was so overwhelming that I wonder

Time flew by the nine years I was there

Suddenly I’m back with some who care

The beauty of the school remains as it is

The fields where we weeded look as bright

Blood, sweat and tears

The good, the bad, the fears

Some have grown up to be stars

Some are still whining about bars

Some are leading a peaceful life

Some have gone the anonymous way

Issues there are plenty

Solutions there are tenfold

It’s about who takes the first step

Cause the blame goes in his stead

The rest will still look on

And compare us to the elite ones

Writing this I’ve identified

The problem facing all mayoites

Trying to keep up with the world

Education having absolutely no role

The ego then is still here to stay

Can’t do jack with it in the way!

A Jester To Them All

There are the good people

And the bad people

The smart people

And the dumb people

The pretty to the not so pretty

I'm just a jester to them all

No difference to anyone around

And there's nothing funny about this at all

Every time I leave

A bird comes to me

Flocking her hair in my face

Laughing at stuff I had said

Behind this wall of comedy

Lies a man with dignity

What gives is to be given

What takes is to be forgotten

So much at stake

Not even funny

Though I can only think of things

That are funny

A jester to myself

A jester to them all...

Innocence lost, hard to trust

Like a broken shadow on a shattered wall

Circle [2009-2011]

HALF CIRCLE [July 2009]

She’s lying there in a slumber
You're wondering if this is real
Should you go on or just let go?
Though, its a long time to go

She'll grow up, she'll mature
And by the laws of nature
So shall you

The distance now just might be good
For in the long run it may do US some good
You have to wait, you have to try
No matter what goes on in your mind

You like her, you like her a lot
If that’s love, what is not?

The clans are different
And so the plans'd be different
One debacle after the other
Is it enough to look for another?
The answer is no, hell no

FULL CIRCLE [April 2010]
On another note,
You wake from your slumber
And realise its not real
You have let go
Its been a long time ago

She never grew up, she never matured
But the laws of nature worked on you

The distance then was no good
For in the close run it didn’t do US any good
I cannot wait, nor wish to try
Cause a lot is going on in my mind

You liked her, liked her a lot
That wasn’t love, just a thrust

The clans were different
And so the plans were definitely different
All debacles later
It’s more than enough to look for another

From the time of the start
To the moment today
I have gone a full circle
With a long delay
