Is what we have all too good to be true?
Is it too much I want to always be with you?
Our love reminds me why I shall carry on through.
Your voice, your smile free me from feeling blue.
Am I really unfairly expecting too much,
When I say I always need to feel your touch.
As much as I want you here every day and night;
A weekly basis makes us fonder, so it's alright.
Is what I feel for you, what you feel for me too?
Are you the one for me, and am I the one for you?
I realized you're the one my soul was waiting for.
I just hope you also feel we have met before.
Am I right to feel we are the same rays of light?
Am I right to feel I cannot insult you in any fight?
Is it too much if I say you're perfect in every way?
For me, you are my safe harbour in life's bay.
Dear God & creator,
Please be with my family and friends at this time of tribulations and trials
Please don’t leave me in the dust of my past decisions and answer my calls
Please will you make me happier than feeling sad and depressed all my life?
Please help me love one another with happiness without strife?
Please don’t let me get me going out of control
Please won’t you help me and save my lonely soul?
Please can’t you hear me and heal me entirely?
Please ease my mind and see me freed for an eternity
Please love me as I need to learn to love myself
Please help me love others as well as be a guide to self
Please have mercy on my lows and highs of my lifetime
Please give me grace and forgiveness for the times I doubted you this time
Please direct my pathway of peace
Please don’t judge me unfairly according to my sins
Please persevere with me till the end of time before the devil wins
Please, oh please, save me from anxiety and give me joy
Please make me a happy-go-lucky boy
Thank you and your Kingdom come,
Amen
I cursed at the bee -- as if unfairly stung --
With the taste of its honey still thick on my tongue.
Oh sweet poison: Hypocrisy. I can’t get my fill of you.
For it’s harder to do what I say I should
Than it is to say what I should do.

If I knew it was the last time that I would see your face,
I would have told you that I needed you and you could never
be replaced.
If I knew it was the last time that I would touch your hand,
I would have told you I loved you and you were my dearest friend.
If I knew it was the last time I would hear your voice,
I would have begged to God to make a different choice..
But I didn't know the outcome of that tragic day,
or that it would leave me in misery by taking you away.
Now I can not see, nor even vent to you or go on one of
our big adventures like we use to do.
You can't hug and tell me that it'll be ok.
Because you got so unfairly taken and I’m at a loss of
words to say.
Sometimes there is only one thing
that an orchestra brings to mind.
Harsh image of evil marching
with nothing soft, it isn’t kind.
Can you feel it rip through the air?
Breeding rebellion you loathe it,
all you can do is pause and stare.
Overwhelming you fear it’s size,
delicate helmets hide black eyes.
Brave pilots in the air battling,
unfairly matched some fall behind.
Rebels still continue fighting.
A cadence leads the war you’ll find.
Our Outer Rim’s beyond repair,
the Empire’s crushed it bit by bit.
Desperation’s all that’s left there.
Alliance and what that implies,
they won’t stop ‘til they free the skies.
Well hard as they might fight and try
So tight are rarely barely getting by
Sigh jobs squarely unfairly go to AI
Picked nicked then flicked on the sly
No sorrow poor borrow more to buy
Tricked by CGI lie from a cloudy sky
Social media spy pigs in the Tech sty
Future can’t deny no one gets a bye
Suitor will be AI then humans will defy
Pyrrhic critics decry but it is do or die
Titans fight for their piece of the pie
White collar all about the dollar guy
Dash for stash of cash ultimate high
Purloining while just coining on the fly
Spend as know the end is almost nigh
Flash rash brash greed splash they ply
Keys for wheeze must seize or will pry
Happens so fast they have cast the dye
Command it’s about demand & supply
Sycophant pant a creamy dreamy chai
Ego blast will last with your past will vie
Perverse creed gets worse this the storm's eye
Sow the seed impede our swede teed up & fry
Won't conform will curse why must I lie with AI
Plead don’t need IT to perform bellow thy lullaby
No go slow mellow Hello but a wry dry Goodbye
Squarely unfairly unsung young flung across the ditch flee
Happy for me to be the snitch as the rich get off scot free
Property toffs scoff as our nation’s next generation f*ck off
Another bung at the trough child’s play while we all pay GST
Fast lanes or in chains those with the reins no capital gains
No refrain from more cranes poor poured down the drains
Got wonga join the conga to Rarontonga on private planes
Our saviour.. greedy behaviour giving trees to Scandinavia
Relax those with the max keep their stacks with tax so lax
Life givers charming rivers harming for lairy dairy farming
Have observed scary what we’ve heard's absurd have a word
Got to roam can't afford a home blame Luxon's chrome dome
Uncle Fester a Stooge for every corporate Scrooge does pester
We've all been had unless you go to the bank of Mum & Dad
Undeserved the herd as endangered as our sad flightless bird
Blurred after all that has occurred society stirred then slurred..
Mad everything pricey everything dicey plea to free every KIWI
I have a brand of English muffin that I really like.
How is it English, is this the language he speaks?
This type of muffin comes circular,
But I beg to differ, rectangular would be better.
The circle fights with my toaster.
At time’s it’s become a dangerous battle.
I have to intervene and unplug the machine
Making her unfairly cool down.
I understand both sides.
But if you ask me, I agree with her more.
If the muffin would just comply,
And be rectangular.
Things would be easier on both sides!
(Said the spider to the fly).
But the truth be told, unfortunately today,
This is exactly the attitude.
Everybody shut up
And do it my way!
Maybe, in the future,
I should buy my muffins
From Canada
And maybe my bacon too.
But will they speak French?
Then the miscommunication possibilities wide open.
Come closer I won't bite
I've been unfairly given a bad rap
I'm really a fun pal

A ceaseless exhibition that stings,
Amongst matchless marvels on world screens,
A pleuritic pain to my soft breath it brings,
Subtle slight pulses caught in baleful scenes.
A blooming rushed pseudo sketch,
Like a snap in harsh lights at a clumsy stretch,
False fury flows through spectators’ veins,
With replays, the cloud of claims still rains.
The loud, jarring noise engulfs the lone truth in flight,
The sleeping streets stir at looming blight,
An unfairly tale, in ink it seals—
An art too stubborn for truth to repeal.
Whether the clear lines finally chime,
The intense stormy atmosphere claims the rhyme,
An erosive strong wind whirls the hail falls,
But a wonderful nature it remains, bravely it rolls.
Boys will be boys, should we change our approaches?
It invades our society, infesting like cockroaches.
Is it something that we unfairly blame on our coaches?
Or should we instead stop this before it encroaches?
Is it time to call time on this self-destructive trait?
Something we excuse with ‘it’s only banter mate’.
Instead, should we consider our words and our deeds?
Humility, equity, kindness, what we need to succeed.
I loved You
That was my first mistake, stupid from the start
Plummeting statistics show, A fairy tale ending ends unfairly, on my happily ever after chart.
Feeling over thinking, and Losing all what made me smart
Now look at me
Bleeding, piecing together the bloodied shattered shards.
Trying to fix your mess
Cradling, as I fail to mend the no longer Beating and Defeated
Breaking of my heart
I should've known not to trust a man
Deemed incapable of playing a role
Which he himself, cast the part
As someone said
"You live upon what destiny has written for you."
She then replied with:
"if your destiny
is to die unfairly,
to suffer as eternal as it's permitted by time,
to love hat's not prohibited
to have to sacrifice unfairly
you would want to write your own destiny
and trust
to love what you deserve
to stand up
and end the suffering of what's called destiny."

Why did I care what would happen,
If I sent him the message verbal or written.
He provoked me after what he did to me unfairly.
I just wanted him to get my message.
"I said no more too.
Not because of your threat to call the Police,
But simply I have nothing left to share and care about this friendship.
It is a shame it ended like this"
Remember, it was me who first suggested to terminate it.
You never replied and I had no idea what you wanted.
I could not read your mind nor know what you have decided.
Who did you thing you are?
Exploited my caring nature.
Remember, to me, you are just a guy with excellent IT knowledge.
Not only you had spoiled the friendship,
But also destroyed part of my life journey.
You have changed completely into another person.
Since I first met you at your second home.
Rather pity and ashamed what has happened.
WE ALL ARE HERE TO BE IN PEACE AND LIVE FREELY
IN A WORLD THAT ONLY GOD HIMSELF CAN SAVE
WHY DO WE JUDGE AND HATE
IS IT THE COLOR OF SKIN THAT YOU SEE
LOOKING ON THE OUTSIDE BUT NEVER LOOKIN IN ME
IN ME YOU WILL FIND LOVE FOR YOUR KIND AND LOVE FOR MINE
MANY WILL NEVER SEE OR NEVER KNOW WHAT IT COST TO MAKE ME GROW
LIFE AND DEATH IS HELD WITHIN THE TONGUE
SO WHEN YOU SAY HATEFUL WORDS ARE YOU NOT THE ONE THAT IS WRONG
AND NEVER FORGET ABOT THOSE BABIES THAT ARE WATCHING AND SEEING
DONT YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE ANGRY
BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY AND NOT GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE
SOME ARE DYING BY SOMEONE ELSES HAND
OUR SKIN COLOR SHOULD REALLY NOT MATTER
BUT ITS JUST THAT THAT DIVIDE US
LEARN TO LOVE LOVE TO CARE FOR YOUR FELLOW MAN
STAND FOR RIGHT EVEN IF
THE COLOR OF SKIN
