This just and tolerant island.
To study and pontificate upon...

"Kevin"

Drug buy,
for one it went good.
Drug buy,
for one it went bad.

You see Kevin,
wore high heeled sneakers.
You see Kevin,
was his junkies' keeper.
 
But one day;
the junkie didn't have it,
so Kevin didn't give it,

The Wall Has Got Eyes and Ears
Who speaks does indeed lie,
Who does not, surely knows more,
But keeps silent by fear to die,

The Walls have ears,
To listen and hear,
The brother became a foe to testify,
A brother sells a brother,
In this deep, dark...

Words Said In Anger
....Can fall on deaf ears:

And if not,

Can hurt more than you know,

Later,

Regrets hanging out on a line,

Waiting to be forgiven,

Some will be,

Others left blowing in a lonely breeze,

Have to be even more careful,

In a small...

I put up courage to say hello
And got stocked up waiting 
Hoping you will pick up
But all ended in mistrials

When at night your shyness dictates 
You think walls have ears...

Walls Have Ears
We were told walls have ears
So we were advised to speak
In low soft whispers,
Lest our neighbours would hear.

We were told the night
Should only be graced in low volumes
As the silent night could give us out

Let no other ear hear this! Threatening warnings of my father

If only it was a fantasy
A nightmare not reality
If only monsters were marked
So we could stay far far away.

Long are the days of the dark alley

Walls have ears,
Walls do hear,
Even the most concealed of plots,
Even the most whispered of words.
Walls have tongues,
Walls have lips,

With which hidden secrets they shine.
Walls have souls, souls of lazy old women,

Even the walls have ears,
And gnarly gnashing of worn out teeth.
Waiting, just waiting with bated breath
For what will surely never come.
