Blurring past,
the centre of town.
Talking on his cell-phone,
he didn't see who he knocked down.
When he's not thinking,
he's prone to killing.
This man in a hurry,
to get nowhere first.
This man in a hurry,
I guess he'll never know.
Running by,
the telephone masts
Staring straight ahead,
he didn't see who he had passed.
When he's not looking,
he's prone to ignoring.
This man in a hurry,
to catch his dream first.
This man in a hurry,
I guess he'll never know.

on the cold, hard earth.
Breathing so faintly,
she saw everyone who passed her.
Parlour tricks
I packed the last of my things,
And my room seemed so bare,
The boards creaked underfoot,
As I made to close the curtains.
I turned my back on my youth,
And so many other things,
Its not really surprising,
But I've left myself behind.
No time for loneliness,
With so very much to do,
Its easy to lose yourself,
In the rush-hour crowds.
The trains by my house,
Shake the still morning air,
I'd have never thought,
It would comfort me.
I returned to my old room,
And rolled up the blinds,
The boards creaked underfoot,
And I swept away the dust.
Had it really been so long?
Had I ever really left?
Was this merely,

A quest for eternal life
There once was a handsome prince, who was loved by all his people,
and his father was a very proud man.
Eventually his time had come, to inherit his fathers kingdom,
and pride began to fill his heart.
A short while into his reign, he married a princess,
she was adored across the land.
The on one golden evening, the light cast shadows on her face,
and he turned his gaze away.
But even as he did this, he saw leaves falling from their branches,
and mortality pierced his heart.
The King became obsessed, by the dying and the dead,
and terror clouded his mind.
He stayed in the castle library, for weeks and months and years,
but a solut
Hope you've had your fun,
look out the window the time has come,
we've been force-fed injustice,
in school and on the TV,
told to accept a knife in the back,
a life of misery for the masses.
Shoot me if you will,
i'd rather be dead,
than be silenced,
and made to live a life,
making the rich even richer.

end the corporate crime,
and the exploitation of the many,
for the benefit of the few.
The ferns which clung low to the forest floor shook as heavy footfalls pounded by. The forest was coming alive with echoes of angry voices calling out to one-another and war-horns blaring into the sky, causing birds to leap up in alarm. Just ahead of the commotion a young woman was running through the undergrowth, jumping over the branches of fallen trees and tangles of thorns. Her heart was pounding and she could hear her breath mixing with the sounds of snapping twigs and crackling leaves. She didn't dare to look behind her, to slow down now would be to commit suicide. Her legs were burning with fatigue and tears were forming in her brown e
I remember seeing your face,
glowing in those lights/ at the roadside
you lay staring at the sky
Your arm lay limp at your side,
no one held your hand/ and you cried
Sirens drowning your voice
I remember the waiting room
I had sat there for a while/ please don't die,
this shouldn't happen to you
The clock ticking away,
breaking this unreal silence/ times relentless tide
a doctor in the doorway
I remember loosing my voice
i'm sure I used to have one/ a mere memory?
its too late now
its so very quiet here
a hand grabs my shoulder/ breaking the news
but i'm a broken man
I remember walking home
numb and soul-less/ i take deep b
out of focus memories
a hazy dream
whispers on the air
exhaust fumes in a city of quiet
happier days are gone
a backwards glance
make sure theyre still there
is the future as hard to see?
your silent today
and out of time
someone cut and scared
pheonix plumes on a wounded heart
some ragged clothes
baught for a dime
dirty cuffs and sleeves
but your proud to wear them anyway
these humble beginings
don't mean a thing
so beautiful and calm
please don't let that smile fade
buildings around you
saffron in the sun
smashed windows
like spiderwebs that glow for you
evening draws near
stepping in to intervene
picks you up to t

Where a thousand people fell
Here on this quiet field,
you never would have known,
that a million fates were sealed,
by hatred, blood and bone.
As the wind moves through the grass,
I can't help but start to cry,
So many men were sent here,
so many had to die.
What drives a man to sign his name,
on a declaration of war,
Knowing the cost of human lives,
sent away from their native shores.
It seems to be a cycle,
that man hates man hates man,
violence leads to violence,
it continues and we are damned.
Its no wonder that we feel this grief,
or why a poppy is red,
its tainted with the blood of man,
nature's crying for the dead

He sat down heavily on a rock and took out his notepad. It was late in the year and the air was bitingly cold but he'd been out so long i'm not sure if he noticed anymore. He looked at the small tatty notebook and clicked a pen before scribbling on it.
The first word he wrote was "pressure." He started doodling some stick-men onto the page, they were all rushing around trying to get things done, all the while looking at a clock which was looming over them.
The second word he wrote was "helpless." Once again he was soon scribbling little stick men beside the solitary word. This time there was a group of stick-people crying with holes where t
She fell back off of her knees and sank onto her bottom. He legs were now crossed infront of her and she shook her long firey red hair away from her large green eyes. As she moved she disturbed dust from the bare wooden floor. There was barely any light save for a smal ray penetrating through a cracked window surrounded by old grey blocks of stone.
She kicked off her shoes, looked into her friends eyes and whispered, "Are you ready?" as she reached for a small brown paper bag. She was small and had an innocent face, she looked alot younger than she really was. This was in contrast to her friend who was taller and had an air of confidence abo
Prologue.
The sun was heavy in the sky and was only held up by the few sparse clouds which hung below it and absorbed its orange colour before dispersing it about the early evening sky like ink drops when they fall into crystal clear waters. A bird turned its head and viewed its surroundings before making up its mind and whistling lazily into the air which flowed smoothly along the lush gold-tinted moor, pushing the blades of grass over before allowing them to stand again. A small creature poked it's nose out of a nest of woven grass, then it scratched its brown coat of fur with a long kangaroo-like leg and hopped over to a small rocky outcr

sitting down by the roadside, she lifted her head and gazed out over the open land. it was hot and the brilliant sunlight illuminated her face, turning it a pure gold next to the blue sky and grey-gold rock that was around he feet. She was waiting, not for anything in particular, just waiting.
There was little movement, just a slow gentle breeze inbetween the blades of grass and every now and then a bird would take flight silently and cirlce in the air. She was sitting in the middle of a vast countryside near the sea, which was quietly lazing onto the sand below, at the bottom of a soft red cliff named in memory of a girl who'd fallen some t
there were small cracks in the station platform and tufts of tall grass poked up through pushing towards the sunshine. There was an ethereal sense of calm around the station and the station master was leant back in a chair asleep, such is the nature of temple stop, a small platform surrounded by grass and meadows.
a tall girl was sitting near the track, watching a ladybird climb a tuft of grass before it flew, quietly whispering above her head and lazily hovering away. She flicked a whisp of red hair out of her eyes and laid back with her hands behind her head. The sun shone brightly on her face and her skin seemed to glow as she smiled up t
This is the first and final entry into the book of history. The beginning of the end of the world. An unlikely tyrant will rise up and bring this sacred place to it's knees. I have seen my future, and here under this purple sky with swirling clouds a storm is brewing. I have seen my future and it is one of damnation and ruin, desolation and destruction. Not my destruction you must understand, no, i lead this destruction. I will lead the final charge into the planets oblivion, this is the final hour of the planet. This is the undoing of Soldasia, but before you judge me you must hear me out. You must understand why I sit here now, on my horse

Exploding bunnies-for Scott.
A ghostly moose floating by
With a heavy heart and a tear in his eye
Because as the internet page was loading
All the bunnies started exploding
They had been sitting and munching since dawn
When all of a sudden they were spread over the lawn
Because as the internet page was loading
All the bunnies started exploding
With a skip and a hop
A bang and a pop
By the time the page loads
Another bunny explodes
Now it is later
The garden's a crater
No more bunnies left to explode
The page still won't load
The phantom moose drifts ever on
His heart still heavy as he sings his song:
"Bunnies in a field
Oh what fun
Just me and some bu

Brave New World (aldous huxly)
Nineteen Eighty-Four (George Orwell)
