Short After All Is Said And Done Poems

Distilled amongst the evening sun
Everything will keep on keeping
After all is said and done
The love not lived forever sleeping
Here inside a locked room 
In the corner of our souls
We will meet again and everything collides......

Lost in comfort, to forget about you,
hidden away are the tears I cried.
Snuggled within the folds and softness,
of an old worn throw, with fringe tied.

Silken threads of russet, slide through,
my thoughtful fingers, one by one.
Each thread becomes a memory of you
when after all is said and done.

Family ruins my dreams...
What else?
I wanted to be who I wanted to be...
I'm no one...
I'm worthless...(of no worth)
I'm God's Child
I wanted to be a psychic...
A good son to God Most High
All I was trying to do was to be me...
When me was the wrong thing to do 
After all is said and done?
Family aren't there for you all the time
God's family are there for you - it's sublime...

If tomorrow comes
And yesterday is gone
Today will be a memory
That's waiting to move on

The past will always bring
thoughts from yesterday
Of how if at all possible
We could have lived a different way

But to live in tomorrow
Reminesing of yesterday
Would only make you want
To get on your knees and pray

One thing to remember
After all is said and done
We will be in the future
If tomorrow comes....

Alarm bells sound, just get away
Do not run though they say
As it’s not always the right way

Just walk and on the way have a talk
Advice I have always taught  
As well as always sought

Simply follow the signs to the place
Where it is for the best
To put your voice to the test

Then after all is said and done
Gather up all your thoughts
Before they are all lost

There is no need to run
Just walk and talk
It might just be fun

DAMO...

What is life like - After we Kill the Planet – That’s Us

When After All is Said and Done 
There is nothing left as it has all gone
Nothing to say or do
No need to watch the news
We had our time 
We had our say
We just never found a way
Why was that I ask
Did we never grab the task?
We had the world to look after
But we left it even further abused
Then we had found it in the news
No wonder we will no longer exist
Time to leave nature to it

DAMO...

Masters of our own fate and doing it our way?  No, no, no.                    

Out of that bed, rush through breakfast and have that coffee.

Never say never because Never never made any promises to you.

Day after day, Monday through Friday and sometimes Saturdays also.

After all is said and done, and we are more done than said, we retire.

Yes, there is life after Monday if we go easy and coast into Wednesday.

I don’t know how a boy slipped down
And landed in a cage
Which housed a huge gorilla,
Prompting anger, grief and rage.

For when the ape then dragged the boy
The keepers at the zoo
Decided that a killing shot
Was what they had to do.

I’d hate to be the person
With that awful call to make,
But I understand the reason
With a human life at stake.

Yet, after all is said and done
I still can’t understand
Why there wasn’t anybody there
To hold that young boy’s hand....

She's never the same person
After she has cried
All the chaos and confusion
That clouds in her mind

She let's them out in anger
She let's them out in fear

The words her mouth can not speak
She let's it out in tears

After all is said and done
All her silent prayers have been heard

She sits alone in silence
Never speaking a single word

In her heart there is nothing left to say
For her soul it has spoke

They formed a puddle in her hands
Now all she does is hope...

You bind me up with your chains of love
and lock me in like a prisoner
Stealing away my life
Wiping the smile from my face
Snatching away my dreams
Beyond selfish you use and manipulate
I'm your robot, serving you, without feelings
I look at you and I don't even know you anymore
Making me feel like an abused child of yours
Feeling more than hate for you
I pray for God's mercy toward you
Even after all is said and done
I know I forgive you, it's who I am
Why should I have to change?...
