White Hats, Black Hearts?

Where have all the old good guys gone?

What have all the new good guys done?

Were the good guys really that good?

Are the good guys in a foul mood?

Their “White Cowboy Hats” going grey?

Who’ll live to fight another day?

If ignorance is trully bliss?

Can I give the order to “Dismiss?”

One more war, ending childrens lives?

Tanks, soldiers, rifles, guns, and knives?

Looting, murder, rape and pillage?

This was once, a peaceful village?

Mothers with babies, lost and scared?

Crying out loud “We thought YOU cared?”

A Peace Treaty that has been signed?

But will it bring THEM peace of mind?

Another day, the fog of war?

Another choice, just like before?

Another way, killing no more?

Another voice, settling a score?

Differing ways, different times?

Peace-Keepers with mountains to climb?

Miss the start, now don’t miss the end

Has the Human Race got a friend??

Romeo & Juliette

I’m sitting here watching you from my universe
Things could be a lot better, they couldn’t be worse
As I gaze along the avenue, I’ve spotted a hearse
You loved me, I put the money in your purse

I don’t know where I am, didn’t we have a pact?
I thought that we agreed, there’d be no turning back
You’re my wife, you’re my life, now you’re dressed in black
I’m talking, but you don’t hear, Is that my uncle Jack?

My view is not clear, I’m trying hard to understand
All the people I see, who’s that holding your hand?
I notice my mum, & dad, they’re looking very tanned
My mind is not clear, this isn’t what we had planned?

Is this a dream? I do not know, I’m just gazing at you
The fog is lifting, from inside my mind,but I don’t have a clue
I can’t go on without you, and don’t know what to do
You did everything, you were wonderful, why do I feel blue?

The penny hasn’t dropped, but I’ve just had a thought
Was it a trap, you set for me, and I was so easily caught
Everything I gave will that be enough? Oh, I’ve been a clot
Always remember that there are some things that can’t be bought

I gave my heart to you, I let it rule my head
I now understand why, I went first instead
I still love you, I still want to share our bed
An open casket, I can now see, OH No I’m dead___________________
