Media Lies

Take your photos, spin your lies
Taping phones, ruining lives
No moral compass, no remorse
Show no conscience, or second thoughts

Can you tell what’s right any more

Feed on fear, shock and awe
Use propaganda, rig the score
Show no mercy, anyone’s fair
Distort the story, without a care

You fabricate fiction and pedal myth
Exploit your position, truth dismissed

Your fully aware, which makes it worse
Show no remorse, for damage perverse
Seduced by the power, and the greed
In the pockets of those, who lie and deceive

Can you tell what’s right any more

Not objective, mandarins served
Facts imagined, hate preserved
Agendas honored, extremes sell
No right from wrong, or Heaven and hell

Can you tell the difference any more

With impunity, libel your critics
Perjure yourself, slander your cynics
Political anger, TVs tuned
No integrity, meddling tycoons

You fabricate fiction and pedal myth
Exploit your position, truth dismissed

Your fully aware, which makes it worse
Show no remorse, for damage perverse
Seduced by the power, and the greed
In the pockets of those, who lie and deceive

Can you tell what’s right any more

How do you sleep, with what you’ve done
Spin your lies, knowing you’re wrong

Released

I can’t dream without you
And I can’t see my way through
Why can’t you be true
Why when I always knew
Truth chances missed fate obscured inner wish
Released desires list first passion found adrift

Inspiration realization and release
Mercy pity and peace
Wonder illusion and freedom
Sanguine implied our reason
When you were never there
When you never showed you cared

I am cold without you
And I can only renew
Why can’t fantasy be true
Why are you hiding from view
Truth I played my part supported you healed your heart
Released glowing mark to adorn your new start

Inspiration realization and release
Mercy pity and peace
Wonder illusion and freedom
Sanguine implied our reason
When you were never there
When you never showed you cared

When you you never dared
When you you couldn’t declare
When you you never cried
Where you you left me to try

Annie… Quit the practice before it starts hurting… (But don’t fret, you muscles will adapt/grow in time and you’ll be able to play longer…)

FWIW, I often practice my fretting and strumming separately… So practice your chord changes with a simple down strokes so you can just focus on your fretting. And Vica Versa, just hold one chord whilst learning a new Stumming/picking pattern. Then, when your comfortable with the separates, start doing them together… Might save bobby your head around…

Have fun… Break your practice time up if you need to… 🙂

X and Y

They breed flames of hate, obscure the truth

Peddling lies, claiming they embody you

Believing we’re ignorant, and won’t even try

To question polarization, there’s more than X and Y

Institutions created, before science asked why

Controlling the masses, use fear to comply

They reward us with hope, for when we die

Doctrines imagined, in times before X and Y

Parochial mentality, with imaginary stresses

Suspending reality, create tiresome dilemmas

Not hungry and cold, thirsty or tired

Homeless displaced, or trapped under fire

So be grateful thankful, and dare to try

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

Oblivious you dwell, in your first-world dreams

Whilst you continue, our planet screams

Theoretical issues, linger in their minds

Privilege problems, they need to assign

Adapting evolution, to suit replies

Convinced they’re different, neither X or Y

History is done, learn and be gracious

Political correctness, sensible is contentious

Just listen be kind, use common sense don’t lie

You’ll never please them all, they’ll change their X and Y

A parochial mentality, with imaginary stresses

Suspending reality, creating tiresome dilemmas

Not hungry and cold, thirsty or tired

Homeless displaced, or trapped under fire

So be grateful thankful, and dare to try

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

We’re Okay

Lost in you, where dreams replay
Finding reason, not to stay
Trapped in memories, scores to pay
Fighting instinct, time delay

Looking forward, seize the day
Following songs, trusted way
Seeking mercy, in silence pray
Finding solace, far away

We’ll entwine, as bodies sway
Discover path, our today
Binding close, as emotions weigh
Embracing love, come what may

We will bind, as bodies sway
We can find, our today
We will bind, as sonnets play
We can find, our cliché

Ignore the whispers, let them say
On the path, they betray
Bathe in colours, flames display
Shine the light, you portray

We’ll entwine, as bodies sway
Discover path, our today
Binding close, as emotions weigh
Embracing love, come what may

We will bind, as bodies sway
We can find, our today
We will bind, as sonnets play
We can find, our cliché
Love united, we’re excited
Passion ignited, we’re okay
We’re okay

We will bind, as bodies sway
We can find, our today
We will bind, as sonnets play
We can find, our cliché
Love united, we’re excited
Passion ignited, we’re okay
We’re okay

You Are Sin

A face familiar, like my own
Whispered words a truth, I’ve always known
A subtle unease, within your very core
A haunting splinter, a conscience we ignore

Use your gift, weave your stories
Sing of pain and love, and hopeless mourning
Search your soul, delve deep within
Sing the songs of virtue, let the dance begin

Who do you represent, claim to espy
Busy living you get rich, whilst others die
Soon you’ll find, no pockets in a shroud
Those you serve they’re all, now disavowed

I claim no poets rites Nor a prophet’s kin
But you embody vice, you are Sin

Miracles eclipsed, you couldn’t adapt
Providence belief, devoid of any fact
Stagnant progress, you failure to evolve
Spirits you sustain, they’re all now absolved

I claim no poets rites, Nor a prophet’s kin
But you embody vice, you are Sin

Condition of the human heart
What is on your mind
Let others know there not alone
Tell truths, expose the blind
I claim no poets rites,
I claim no prophet’s kin
But you embody vice, you are Sin
You are Sin

You know your reflection, the crimes you face
Avarice sold your soul, or faith you embrace

I claim no poets rites, Nor a prophet’s kin
But you embody vice, you are Sin

Condition of the human heart
What is on your mind
Let others know there not alone
Tell truths, expose the blind
I claim no poets rites,
I claim no prophet’s kin
But you embody vice, you are Sin
You are Sin

I claim no poets rites, Nor a prophet’s kin
But you embody vice, you are Sin

Sailing Away

Heading forward, no looking back,
Making headway, on destiny’s tack.
Follow the charts, where tides collide,
Guided by stars, on oceans we glide.

Head to lands, unseen and untamed,
Winds that whisper, surroundings unnamed.
Following dreams, the passage weaves,
Echoes of the heart, heard in the breeze.

The weather breaks, revealing course,
Navigate seas, unwavering force.
Heavens emerge, illuminate moorings,
Nature unveiled, peaceful adoring.
Far, Far, Far, Far
Sailing away, evocative days,
Exploring ways, to forgotten bays,
Sailing away, sailing away.

Heading uncharted, wayfaring souls,
To open waters, where mystery unfolds.
Follow the moment, passing the cape,
Embrace the journey, our mundane escape.

Head for Horizons, rewards unfold,
Glaciers and fjords, tales untold.
Following desires, of distant shores,
Passing way points, adventures doors.

The weather breaks, revealing course,
Navigate seas, unwavering force.
Heavens emerge, illuminate moorings,
Nature unveiled, peaceful adoring.
Far, Far, Far, Far
Sailing away, evocative days,
Exploring ways, to forgotten bays,
Sailing away, sailing away.

Sailing Sweet Ruca

We are two racing sailors that decided to go cruising. We sold it all, bought a sailboat, re-fit it ourselves for offshore sailing, and took off into the ocean with the goal of sailing around the world via the capes. … Continue reading
