Screams of Unfettered Minds | 3 Poems
Monkey Speak
DON’T TALK, JUST ACT
Apply the walk, don’t be a dork
Put together you’ll survive any weather
Or you will fail, and that’s a fact
DON’T SAY, JUST SHOW
Words are lost without a physical cost
Put together they give you pleasure
Or, in the end, you will offend
DON’T PROMISE, JUST PROVE
Break it and its bad luck for you
Put together the curse is removed
Your oaths only as good as your next move
And thus the primate did espouse
Pearls of wisdom for homosapien ears
Observing each other, mindful of flying poo
You too can be a wise chimp, in this zoo
It's Better This Way
I know I said ‘I love you’ and I did at the time
Living in the moment, it just felt right
It wasn’t a lie, this isn’t goodbye
Just my heart doesn’t skip, when you’re in my sight
Is it love that I’m feeling? I’m just not sure
Undeniable guilt, thinking, maybe there’s more?
Don’t look like that, please don’t be sad
I just can’t take it, my soul is torn
Does that make me bad for telling the truth?
Being honest while tightening the noose
You heart you gave, I’m trying to save
From the broken soul who turns to booze
I adore you more than you’ll ever know
I feel deeper than I’ll ever show
It’s me, not you, trust me you’ll lose
It simply won’t end well being my beau
I’m doing you a favour, you don’t love me
In a few months you’ll be able to see
Let’s end on a high, for both you and I
It’s better for you if I simply leave.
Mercy Me and Mercy You
Mercy me and mercy you
How did we succumb to fools
Willful, blind obedient tools
For agendas foul and cruel
What will be when we awake
And realise our plight and fate
Will we recognise the snake
Or look away for sanity’s sake?
Will it be too late to rise
To fight against our planned demise
Or will we stand in stunned surprise
Then rush for any compromise?
Will our righteous anger fuel
A fitting end for those who knew
Or will we meekly say ‘we’re screwed’
Mercy me and mercy you
