The ringing of the bells
Are putting me through hell
Maxi bets are on
But they're singing the wrong song
Forty dollars in
"I want some free spins"
Now the food monies gone in
"Why did I have to sin !"
The funds are going down
I can not hear that sound
The jackpot going off
Pick the kids up or not ?
They should be OK
I'll only be ten minutes away
There's no room for my mood
I need to get food approved
It's empty inside, the cupboards that once thrived
All for that game
I shouldn't have played
The kids are suffering, yet another day
My insanity is thin
Reality sinks in
I can't seem to pass
This addiction that has last
I wish I could fight it
Set a match, and light it
Ashes to dust
It has to be a must
Get rid of this game
That makes me feel ashamed ...

Liana Te Pou Poem
Here we are
Staunch and strong
With a message that will grasp you
Mind, heart and soul
Listen to what we say
No means will go astray
"Suicide Awareness"
Is what we're here for today
Our people are dying
Taking their lives and more
Seeking peace, serenity
Freedom from pain, most of all
The pain that grips them
Ripping their soul
With no one to stop it
Or make them feel whole
But little do they know
There's always someone at tow
Waiting patiently for when
It's time for them to show
To open up and say
That they're not OK
And that's when things, will come into play
The peace, serenity and freedom they seeked
Was right there beside them
All they had to do was speak
No more pain and suffering
There's always a way
And sooner or later
Everything will be OK ...

Liana Te Pou Poem
Mum and Dad
In a world of their own
Not thinking of the consequences,
that could force us to go
Mums mind is set
She's telling dad to get
But deep down I know
That will never happen, I bet
Dad raises his fist's
Mum crumbles to the floor
She begs him to stop
But to no avail at all
She screams out for help
No one seems to hear her call
Except for us kids
Huddled up in the hall
The place has gone quiet
There's no sound at all
I'm not quite sure
If that was mum I heard fall
Lights beam through my room window
It's the neighbors next door
Discussing the altercation,
they heard just before
I want to shout out
But I can't speak at all
If only my mum,
could just walk through that door
It's half past four
I've had no sleep at all
The neighbors must of heard my mum,
screaming at the door
Just hoping and praying,
they would do something
To save us from it all
This should not be ignored
All they have to do is call
And one day
Maybe some day
It will all be over
Once and for all .
