The art of love can not be taught,
it comes from within the heart,
lovers that finally meet,
had planned it all from the start,
the pen is mightier than the sword,
love and wisdom can not be bought,
Knowledge is the ultimate key,
All the answers lie within thee.

I gave you all my love,
yet in return I got so little,

I gave you the moon and stars,
in exchange I got betrayal,

I sold my soul to you for love,
in exchange I got your hate,

I stayed away at night to talk to you,
but you just played a game.

I waited for you all my life,
you gave me a lesson in patience,

I drowned myself in your eyes,
you washed me away with your tears.

I became a poet in your love,
and you became my Muse.

Our Love has now become Eternal,
One that Lasts Forever and forever more.

The stars lie within me,
so do the moon and sun,
within me is an entire universe.

are we now numb
to what's going on
another life snuffed out
another mothers son
with this now common place
in our daily run
are we now numb
to what's going on

do we shrug and say
it's just another day
think about it for a blink
then go about our way
does it make a difference
in the difference that it makes
do we  shrug and say
it's just another day

do we stop and think
i'm glad it's not me
is that where we are
at this point in history
are lives that meaningless
in this disease
that we barely stop and think
i'm glad it's not me

who will be the first
to break this deadly curse
siphon all the gas
out of the hearse
say this is enough
before it gets much worse
who will be the first
to break this deadly curse

Nobody knew she was
losing herself underneath
this heavy cloud
which became
a part of her,

It would always
pour down once
she left her home,

The birds would follow her
wherever she went
giving her guidance
without her looking
in the right direction,

Swooping and gliding
over her as she sat
alone


From this day,
she is free
protecting the other lost birds
that want to come home
to where they last were

You know
There are those here
Who have smelt the gunsmoke
And had the blood of death on our hands
But for the most part it was in an honest war
And in war men must and do die
And we plied the trade of war
And what could result
But these days its a different war
An insidious snake
Squirming its way into the bowels of societies
Kids indoctrinated via the internet
A car bomb by a mosque
Simply became I have a different belief
Yes, cut his head off with a long blunt knife
Man that really makes you hard
Oh, yeah well of course his hands were tied
After all it wouldn't be good video
If he was fighting back.
