Once there was a man called John Wright,
Says “I only wanted to do what is right”.
Ideas of proper conduct-
Diehard right wing thoughts.
Bloody a right fool is John Wright!
Once there was man called Diamond, the sardar
a CEO,who takes business well above break-even at deep crisis
Not by selling immovable assets
Nor by selling intellectual property assets
Bloody a talent worth appreciation!
Once there were two friends called Dr.Crash Cruz and Dr.Dates
Strategists in resolving conflicts, exclusive in style, good mates
Crashing is taboo for Dr.Dates
Dating is taboo for Dr.Crash Cruz
Bloody a new chemistry in bonding! no fate
ASK NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR
So many people seem to need me
“can you trim my bushes and that tree?”
but I am as an ant is to a bee
I now I look upon everyone as an enemy
they need me because his wife has pneumonia and jr. has a rare disease
so I comfort them with some tea to put them all at ease
the man across town can't fix his car
so I walk there to help him even though it's so damned far
little millie has no toys she used to enjoy
because it seems her daddy is a man no one will employ
and although it was a long walk I went out and got her a new toy
as I walked home I could only hope i'd chosen something she will enjoy
“will you pick all those ugly old weeds?”
and so I try to meet everyone's needs
“i'm old and weak so could you cut my grass”
well from now on i'm just going to tell them all to kiss my bloody a*s

Truce is but a timed peace
Given to our weary souls
Tottering guns, booming mines
Away-away with all of them.
When we tire to re-fire
Into truce we oft retire.
When friction, its poison work
Our bones shrink, our minds fail
Though this be no age’s handiwork
When victory’s but an illusion
Bought at so bloody a price
Peace! Peace! Aloud we shout.
Yet when calm comes
An alien it is…
It haunts the soul
Like some sinister ghost
Our truce... our peace they grow tense
Ready to snap at the slightest touch.
