Mind Notes Pt.26 'Marvellous Mirage'




We sit and wonder
About this marvellous mirage
The journey's unclear
We're trying to read the stars

We sit and wonder
About this wonderful world
Delusions of grandeur
In minds of boys and girls


Man doesn't live
On just bread alone
But we all born alone
And we all die alone
But love remains the emblem
Of eternity
Mother nature
The loving hands of maternity
The ultimate measure of a man
Is not where he stands
In times of comfort
And convenient plans
But where he stands in times
Of challenge and controversy
Like the late great Martin said
We must show mercy
Peace, Love
And no police
We all free to travel lands
And just walk the streets
If our eyes were open wide
And our minds were free
We could be living side by side
In harmony
They say that's all stuff of dreams
Just fantasies
And I shouldn't let my thoughts
Run away with me
But my response is
Are you sitting comfortably
Because I'd like to share some thoughts
About this world we see


Fresh free music
Free yourself
Free your mind
The written word's
The greatest achievement
Of mankind
Rise the spawn
Of the dawn
Of rational reasoning
If we could write
We could rhyme
If we could talk
We could sing
So leave the skeletons
Locked firmly up in the cupboard
Because we got to move forward
Keep eyes looking upward
Never settle
For a personal settlement
Too many regrets
And you wonder
Where your dreams all went
Make actions that dictate
Chains of reactions
Enough is enough
We got far too many distractions
People make mockeries
Of these fake democracies
Do we die on our feet
Or do we live on our knees
Various varieties
Of different people and places
The geography of lands and seas
Found in hearts and faces
But regardless how many times
We seek and we find
We still wonder how colossal
Is the science of the mind


Fight your corner
Edge to make your last push
Lips speak their last words
Eyes take their last look
Turn the page of the book
As we start new chapters
Move forward
Avoid the fake fronters and actors
One two skip a few
And we're nearly there
But can we be cautious
And can we take care
Because there's no such thing
As lifetime stability
There's only opportunity
So act accordingly
What really matters
Is the state of your soul
Different people come and go
Like starts through black holes
So it doesn't really matter
What the people might say
Only answer to ourselves
At the end of the day
We manifest aspirations
Hard work and toil
Adjust the pressure levels
So the blood don't boil
Because each day is a test
So we stay on revision
Sit and marvel at this life
Through thoughts and inner visions

Mind Notes Pt.25 'Clarity'



Take a double take
Look once
Look twice
Look beneath the surface
There's more to life
Time ticks fast
We're all taking our chances
But every now and then
We get occasional glances
Of clarity


Time flies by
We keep ticking on
Whatever life throws
We still stand strong
The path is long
But the bricks ain't yellow
So we keep level heads
And keep the mood mellow
Conversations flow
Like the finest wines
Keep in good company
Relax and unwind
Whether long or short pockets
Everyone can reflect
Live life by your virtues
Always show respect
Sun rise and sun sets
The moon pulls the tide
Some try bridge the gap
But the margin is wide
We struggle and we strive
To succeed and win
Work hard
Because what we get out
Is what we put in
Always finish what we start
Stay true to the cause
Luck closes windows
But it opens doors
So remain optimistic
About your choices
Trust your own instinct
Ignore the voices


Some people admire
While others may envy
Those who feel jealousy
Hearts are always empty
Hearts that are fulfilled
Show love and encouragement
Feed food for thought
And give the soul nourishment
Thoughts run away
Minds conjure mad images
Indulge in fantasies
Imagination limitless
We gain information
Various different lessons
Answers allude us
We ponder questions
Different philosophies
Different outlooks
Is life written in the stars
Or is it written in books
What's our agenda
And whats our game plan
Schemes stick together
Like grains of sand
Music and poetry
Drama and dance
Life is so rich
Stop and take a glance
Climb up and fall down
Stand up again
We have to keep hope
Never quit until the end


Heaven and earth give birth
Wonderful creations
Join hands let's celebrate
Life's occasions
Days roll to nights
Nights roll to days
Are we here to stay
Or is it just a phase
Judgement day might come
Or might pass us by
So for now we keep moving
Because it's fly or die
Stare at the sky
Wonder about the universe expanse
The value of mother nature
Can't be stored in banks
Picture perfect
Who's taking the shots
Showing confidence
But stomach tied in knots
We venture boldly
Into unknown territory
Never quite know
What the outcome might be
Like Alice we adventure
Through the wonderland
Taking big strides
And making big plans
Turn the next corner
Find what's in store
Might be the wrong turn
But we always take more

Mind Notes Pt.24 'What's The World With No Soul'




What's the world with no soul?
A mouth with no words
Eyes with no view
Ears with no music
Cars with no petrol
TV's with no channels
Phones with no signals
PC's without the internet
Schools with no pupils
Offices with no workers
Banks with no money
Tell me what's the world with no soul?


Imagine a world
Where we never saw rain
There was no oceans
To fly over in planes
Imagine that 
There wasn't any fish in the sea
Would we still sail boats
Or just cruise aimlessly
Imagine a world
Where the sun didn't shine
No skin melanin
So we hard to define
And imagine if
There was no black or white
And we all just human
Would we all still fight
Imagine a world
Where no one could talk
If we couldn't talk the talk
How could we walk the walk
And imagine if
We could smile
But couldn't laugh
Thats like one side of the riddle
Without the other half
Imagine a world
With no sexual activity
Would heartfelt relationships
Lack sensitivity
Imagine if
Humans reproduced independently
Whole new meaning
To a single parent family


Imagine a world
With no advanced technology
No HiFi
DVD and no telly
Imagine that
They never made the internet
Would we still know what we know
Or would we all forget
Imagine a world
With no electricity
No power circuits
To light up the city
And imagine
If we only had the basic necessities
Well for the water
Fire for the recipes
Imagine a world
Where there was no money
Would we all get along
Or would we still be hungry
And imagine if
We had all the things we need
Would we truly be content
Or succumb to greed
Imagine if
There was no class division
And we all getting by
And we all just living
Imagine if
The power was held by good people
We could walk free
We could all be equal

Mind Notes Pt.23 'Always But Never'




I'm always this
But I'm never that
And I'm always moving forwards
Never moving back
Always keep peace and love
Never miss the track
Spitting real home truths
Because it's real like that


I'm alive man
I'm alive man
Always been a good man
Never been a bad man
Always had the right plan
Never had the wrong plan
Always use the right hand
Never use the wrong hand
Always keep myself up
Never let myself down
Always wear a big smile
Never wear a big frown
Always keep it low P
Never run around town
Always talk real talk
Never make fake sounds
Always keep it moving
Never stop and stand still
Always keep it unsigned
Never sign a whack deal
Always make legit moves
Never on a wheel and deal
Always carry warm love
Never carry cold steel
Always coming hard
Never soft like flour
Always stand tall
Never shrink and cower
Always keep it peace, love
And people power
Because that's the word of the minute
That's the word of the hour


I'm alive man
I'm alive man
Always got my pen and pad
Never miss a line man
Always running late
But I'm never out of time man
Always up and at em'
Never gaze on the vibe man
Always looking forward
Never living in the past
Always see the half glass
Never see the empty glass
Always up in the front
Never last in the class
Always stay a step ahead
Never on the last gasp
Always carry real love
Never carry fake hate
Always make real moves
Never make moves bait
Always reach just in time
Never reach too late
Always finish what I start
Never ever leave my plate
Always rep my own name
Never rep a fake game
Always choose words wise
Never use words lame
Always keep focused
Never keep a weak aim
Peace
Love 
And people power
Is the name of my game
