when, all that matters is you and everyone

I stood on the precipice when I was young
as a thousand years passed in front of my eyes

thrown down mountains and upturned oceans
suffocated my cries

but you'll never make me lose my love
this world still conjures a dream

I can see clearly now from my iron lung
when, all that matters is you and everyone

and if you tied me to the stake
there's no time for excuses
with the devil on the rack
Titanic sinks the ground he takes
will forever be lost to the skies
 
and if the fruits of our labours
turn out to be only hallucinations
you know we're in God's pocket
a misspent youth
living like a rocket
on a world coming down

tears from the sun
light up our constellations
with only a tightrope
to walk between the mapping of our lives
open up the doors 
give us another chance
cos who's there to trust
if our hands are only full of dust

pray they'll be no reaper man today

...

The last day(s) of summer

                           while we dance with the devil hold on don't say a word hold on
                           we see a storm closing in...

PEACE out

"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone," wrote the French philosopher Blaise Pascal.

Cities of Gods

I took a drive to the City of Gods

Where an angel took me by the hand

Told me not to bury this life in the sand

So I set sail to the Isle of Dogs...

The doors were locked the windows closed

Who said the way to kiss was on the nose ?

I met a lonely girl standing there
Holding up the Bridge of Sighs
No-one heard her cries

A man kicked me back with a pack of lies 

Train tracks led me nowhere safe

Cities of Gods stopped and stared  
As the world led a paper chase 
 

This is a strange day..tails you fall

Everyone wags their finger forever more

In this morning down on love

Who will come and save the children ?

Woe betide the lollipop man

And the dinner ladies dressed up for the town

This is not the time to lose our crown

Live and let live my Mother said

My Grandfather said it's good to be free
Now I'm in my Father's shoes
How else can I sing the blues ?

I cycled on to Somers town

Forgot to take the message down

The one they hung on poor Charlie Brown

He lives in a caravan on Cinder road

Full to the brim with fools gold
He told me tales of old 
Ones only the world could sow

And I see everyone's plight
Both day and night

And I never ask, I never play
I never hurt anyone...yesterday

The Big Draw : Walking into memory

The title Walking into Memory evokes wider connections involving memory such as trace, vestige, remains, remnant, relic, evocation, recollection, remembrance, home and belonging.
Walking into Memory takes place prior to the house undergoing a substantial architectural renovation and therefore the artistic interventions and interpretations are destined to be absorbed into the memories and history of the house.

The house will become an exhibition space open to the public on 19th and 20th September 2015

Were Going on a Lionhunt

Found this enjoyable and safe LIONHUNT tale...by Jamaicans.com

Rogue Nation : Have I got (old) news for you

Finding the Earth Titanic : aka ET - A wreck below or a wreck above..?

Maybe when the nukes are nice and new?! Russia and Euro NATO zones building a future..quite literally like there's no tomorrow. Includes North Korea and South Korea spearheading the vital need to learn lessons from the 70th Anniversary of the use of atomic bombs...climate change is still a bit of a worry though

The Man from Atlantis..going..

going..

gone..not quite yet

Why Russia holding onto Tartus Naval base & joining the EU is the best kept secret to help keep Greece in the Euro..

G7 Educating Putin :  Ghost protocol in Ukraine. 

I got given life lessons in war and never passed...

Organ generics..stem cell research into freedoms

Dissidents tend to have the best of everything. Shame some people just want to steal...

All known extracts will be regurgitated :  As for the facts ... I haven't a clue

Privately speaking just in case anyone else is listening in on the conversation by reading too much into this will no doubt cease all sense of comprehension and begin to devour, well you know what listening in was to eavesdropping long before anyone learnt how to mend their roof and repair the guttering...underneath the eaves.

For no stone should be left interred whilst there are leaves to be looked under and Turing trees to decipher. (My guttering is always blocked as I inferred earlier)

Pill-grims progress : robotic antibiotics (the less said about the flu jab the better)

The modern state of man is pretty grim so lots of people tend to infer. To stem such a flow one has to deduce that a mild form of pill taking is required to quell such a disorder of the civil masses. Swallowing ones pride has to be the most uncomfortable thing to take and is prescribed by nonchalant politicians and made up think tank quangos. Both require heavily sedated forms of gesticulation in time of re-election and appeasement.

To Ad or not to Add said the Adders at the Ad meeting of the Administrator of Advertising

I still believe advertising works.

Why do you think Advertisers want control of editorial content on opinionated newspapers..

Mostly to payback consultancy fees that have already been, I concur through our mill of advertising

it's a steal 

you can't confer with FIFA when it's petty (individuals) prevalent toward corruption. That's not cryptic by the way

with fanks 2 Lee & Perrin

Cash for questions is mostly updated nowadays to Cash instead of questions

Just listen to 'dirty cash (money talks)' by Stevie V

or in the case of Greece - money walks     

coda to load aka code of conduct by WHICH? guide to freedom(s)

All life is a code..DNA codes..JAVA codes....BINARY codes... Morse codes...I may not understand any of these codes .-..  --- ...- .  -.-- --- ..-   -- ..- --

Unfortunately I'm not very practical and I don't understand odes.
 

Once upon a time there was a story you could tell your kids, now there's no time left for bedtime stories when you read Baba-dook

I blew a bulb once..then I just used ultraviolet light to close the filament. Thank goodness someone measured it otherwise none of this would exist and I forgot my ruler. Then light grew

you can never untie ship shoes laced in knots

that's why I didn't even bother entering this years America's Cup.

 

1947 : We sow the seeds that scatter said Mr Kalashnikov who never ever went on Dragon's Den to invent the hoover instead, which sounded a lot like a better idea to create a vacuum.. ?!

I planted 880,000 poppies in Afghanistan and I tell you it's a racket...

But I can't play tennis. There's no grass...we won't talk 'bout Crystal Meth, that only exists on Breaking Bad

Instead I planted 1,000,000 trees..they gave life 

Career criminals of N. Korea : If you feel the love dance to loudhailers...and you think you had trouble with your noisy neighbours?

spot the ball : own goal

I think what you need to fire at North Korea is FOOD...they can't manipulate starvation. Unlike missiles (fingers crossed for a four minute joke)

I got stuck in a lift with a Gorilla once. He showed me the ropes and we climbed out of there

Freedom of choice is wonderful. I can now claim credit for my life being an endless succession of choices. If I only lived my life by the rule of thumb I'd be pretty dumb..but I can't talk. And that's saying something

Never forget 24,000 nuclear weapons & Page 3 of the Sun are offensive (irony)

Eritrea has a dictator and I'm livid I have to to pay a Diaspora tax charge..in the UK but not in Canada. And people still wonder why...

There's a Proxy War being fought in Syria. (The north/south divide..over oil revenues)

In the last hours of man he still forgot to tell the right time..and he was late

All faults lie in man..that's why God invented liars. He also made man stupid - because he chose to

No-one answered the door and still no-one answered..no-one was there

THE WISE MEN OF GOTHAM : those that build a fence for birds that want to fly free...includes walls, tyranny, repression..exactly where is Batman ?
