Once upon a time in old Shanghai
The city of dreams just came alive
Every young man wanted to come
For a better life in the Shanghai sun
The place was buzzing so full of life
They came in their thousands to roll their dice
Hustle and bustle out on the street
But the true reality was hidden deep
In the city of dreams
Waiting for you
Is a dream to chase
Where dreams come true
Give up your blood
Work hard and believe
And have a new life
In the city of dreams
Well they came from China and the world around
For a taste of paradise to win their crowns
In the city of dreams there was only one rule
Only the strong would make it through
But the people never stopped to think
How a beautiful dream could somehow sink
Gangs of criminals on every street
Now the city of dreams became deadly
Bridge
They came to the Bund
In the Shanghai boom
A muddy embankment
To build a museum
Along the waterfront
From north to south
This national architecture
Stands culture proud
In the city of dreams
Waiting for you
Is a dream to chase
Where dreams come true
Give up your sweat
Work hard and believe
And have a new life
In the city of dreams
They came to work for honest money
But only a few would taste that honey
The fights were fierce when trouble brewed
These gangs would fight in a terrible feud
The opium trade had taken its toll
The dealers were bad bigger and bold
In the city of dreams you had to get tough
Temptation for money and power was such
In the city of dreams
Waiting for you
Is a dream to chase
Where dreams come true
Give up your tears
Work hard and believe
And have a new life
In the city of dreams
In the city of dreams you had to survive
So many young people turned to crime
Protecting your family came at a cost
Because in this city they could end up lost
People eventually came to terms
Wealth and prosperity had to be earned
Some people would end up in those gangs
Others would die protecting their friends
In the city of dreams
Waiting for you
Is a dream to chase
Where dreams come true
Don’t ever give up
Work hard and believe
And have a new life
In the city of dreams

We are walking on the fine lines
That connects to the other side
Its exterior is very thin and you need
A giant telescope to document all the sordid
Boon and the naturalist colors; time is of
essence and you must be on time for the wedding
the guest are pouring in and the choir began to sing
the ceremony is about to begin so tell the guest to
walk through the doors that that leads from the basement
to the upper floor; you can only take that route once
to achieve your mission way up in the sky . You don’t have
enough time to remain on the ground, so follow your
heart where destiny is bund; take the side road that leads from
the main street and walk on the steps below and you will find
the platform that leads you the train station. You will find
the airline waiting gallery on the other side.
This might be the last time we will meet so post this letter for me
Tell my beau that I am coming to see thee at half past three
Tell my beau that the earth is flat you view it from the back
Tell my beau that the earth is round if you wear queen Elizabeth’s crown. Water is in the rocks and science can prove that
And you must get ready for the after shock.
Tell my beau that I will be true to thee; my hands are tied
But I will go with you to see where the arches merge with the sky
Heavens will bend once before you can see the sun and you will know
Howthe original journey began.I don’t need a lot of things for the
Journey; I only want enough money.I will carry only what I need for the journey, so keep your hopes high and tarry with me and let courage c
complets the journey. Post this letter for me.

The performance expresses meaning through gesture,
gentle stories and tales without words to venture.
White washed face and biggish eyes,
timing and theatrical endurance wise.
Pointing towards the human sensitive struggle,
how to keep the soul, mind and heart to juggle.
Like the fool of tarot card and number zero,
through owns life journey ever present hero.
Reflections from people driven by needs and urges,
that fallen into some deprivation as it emerges.
Indication of looking before leaping,
too much emphasis on lustrous reaping.
Excitement and spontaneous so very fickle,
no true commitments rather a sour pickle.
Taken to many steps ahead and topple,
trying to be the best being a role model.
Invisible violin played as message blunt,
when appointed drama becomes too bund.
Simple expressions to simple act,
truth speaks further then the fact.
Boris and Hancock heads held high but don't be surprised for they know how to lie
Pockets jingling they have no shame, they don't really find you all the same
Watch your loved ones through a screen or don't see them at all
Boris and Hancock laugh at you all
10 downing street parties on ,creating billions for the monetary fund
While we lock down in the covid bund
Geneticall genocide in a town close to you, come buy your tickets discount for two, Geneticall genocide lockdown your mind cash is dirty don't you find
Geneticall genocide please don't resist hold out your arm the needle is bliss
Geneticall genocide please stay at home nature's no good you have no right to roam
PPE shortage it wasn't really strange it's great to prepare for the genocide game
Profit from suffering please we can't breath it's like a fictional story hard to believe
Mortality rates at yearly highs babies dying in front of your eyes
It's hard to believe they have your health in mind when they go on killing our kind
Boris and Hancock were puppets on strings I only wonder what the future brings
Yes away they walk heads held high
Every government knows how to lie.
