What Matters --------------- The length of the hair on your head's not important, Nor even of that on your chin, And I'd hasten to add (even though it sounds mad!) That what really counts is within. Material possessions (as nice as they are) Don't actually matter a damn, And the clothes that you wear (like the length of your hair) Are just dressing mutton as lamb. We chase after fast cars and houses and wealth And all the new film stars and bands. But when will we learn that the money we earn So often leaves blood on our hands? So what really matters when all's said and done? (What's the gospel according to me?) Just to truthfully say at the end of the day That you were the best man you could be..... 2/99 |

And another! Redistribution Of Wealth ---------------------------- Money's the root of all evil, it's true (Though one does need a little to ensure one's health) But these days such riches are held by so few That we need a redistribution of wealth. There's people in Africa (and elsewhere as well) Who need us to help them as bad as can be. In order that they escape their living hell I think everyone should now listen to me(!) It's high time we all started thinking as one And pulling together as the century ends; Although it looks doubtful that this'll be done It's imperative that we reverse current trends. So I plead once again, let's buck up our ideas (I don't care if we do it by force or by stealth) And over the course of the coming few years Implement a redistribution of wealth.... 26/11/99 nb - I'm not a communist btw... ;-) |

And one more makes the hat-trick! :-) Our Souls ------------ Our souls are immortal, they're all that we have Once our body has withered away. Our souls are resplendent with patience and grace And it's this that gets us through the day. Our souls are all different (as far as we know) Though there isn't a way to check doubts. Our souls defy logic, we just know they're there, Next to the heart (or thereabouts!) Our souls are all-seeing (and all-knowing too) Though they cannot reveal this to us, Because if they did then we'd all 'know it all' And then there would be such a fuss.! Our souls are just waiting and biding their time, With many more waiting to come, And it's so very hard to put this into rhyme, But I think it's now (just about!) done..... 11/4/00 P.S. Note the comedy title ;-) |

Here's another one with the word "matters" near the end...! :-) Image Inc. ------------ It's all about image these days, yes it's true, These days you're defined by how others see you. It's all about image, how one's seen to be It's a little bit shite, I'm sure you agree. It's all about image, it saddens my soul, Taking people 'in bits' and not seeing the whole, 'Oh, he's this or he's that,'...he may very well be But he's also much more that the world doesn't see.... It's all about image, what one's seen to do And thus people try to pin labels on you. It's all about image and not what's inside The thing is it makes it too easy to hide. Yes, it's all about image these days, sad to say, (But then it has always been going that way) Just remember that none of it matters a jot, Poems don't even have to rhyme or anything....(what?!?) 14/11/99 |
