Eternal Necessity

Well it's been 3 weeks to the day that I broke up with the best girl in the world, so it sucks to be me. Money is awesome, but it's fairly useless if you have no one to share it with ;)

Eternal Necessity

Your chips are down
But who cares now
It's not soul food
More like potent anesthetic
Making your senses numb
Blinding you to importance
Of all the small things
But stay true to yourself
You'll be needed yet again

Forever Legacy

Wrote this one on the train coming home this evening. Was thinking about the enjoyment that we get from /doing/ something. I.e. the fact that the journey leads to enjoyment. And because there are so many things to do, people bounce of each others enjoyment!


Forever Legacy

Ever expanding minds
Always learning, growing
Infinity to see
Unlimited to do

Life is so short
To take this journey
Bring us together
Continue this legacy

Each life is a path
Unique from the rest
But united we are
A soul searching quest

Dream A Dream

Why don't most have persistant daydreams anymore? For that reason, why don't most have dreams every night? We should. And good ones...

Dream A Dream

Just what is it
That I'm striving for
Taking so much time
To be driving towards

Why am I cautious
When I go to cross the road
Knowing reasons here
Could uncover lost dreams

Oh, to dream a dream
One that never ceases
To spin the world about
But I am just too clever

Life Abridged

A (sort of) story of my life (emotions). Leaves out a lot, but puts in a lot that people can't see every day.

Started school
At the age of five
A preliminary drive for
What becomes a way to survive

Get into the real deal
Just turned six
Went to a school that was
Way out in the styx
'Aint nothin' here but
Scrub and chicks

Entered highschool as I
Turned thirteen
Just a place full of
Small time friends
A bunch of beurocrats trying
To make a scene

Upper school and I
Change location
Man this place has
Mass differentiation
Gonna stay here
'Till my graduation

Got into uni and I'm a
Legal adult
Feels like I'm in
A race with no plot
Get sick of the pack
Branch out on my own

Then life begins
When you realise that
Become your own king
And rule with your own hat

Life Trains

This is one I wrote on the computer, so I'm making use of the datestamp here - it was done in July 2004 :)

I'm grateful I no longer percieve life like as this poem presents it to be, but I see similar attitudes all time around me, which is a bit of a shame.

Life Trains - July 2004

Sitting on the train
Watch the world go past
You only catch a glimpse
Because its moving very fast

Stopping at the station
You realise where you are
Take a look around
You havn't really gone that far

People disembark
And others board anew
But this is not your stop
So you wait there with a view

Doors are closing now
Setting off again
Ever walking forward
Just moving with the train

Origins in 2004

This one was written in a Professional Engineering lecture. I remember, because there was a 'guest' speaker from 'the industry' trying to tell us how well paid engineers are...I was dubious, and got bored. It's an exaggerated view of education I admit, but it does hold some truth.

Sitting here in this lecture
Watching the lights bounce through the projector
They call this an education hah
I'll probably end up like
One of those parking inspectors
Or maybe manning one of those
Airport metal detectors

Become just another
Employment prospector
Spend all my day
Searching the West Australian
Competing for unskilled jobs

Driving to the inverviews
I bet the boss is mean
My pores producing saline
I hope he likes my shoes

There must be more to life than this
Remaining to be seen!

Origins In 2003(2)

Same deal with this one. I think there's a real feeling of futility running through these two...I think I'll try writing them when I'm in a good mood sometime :)

Fireflies at night
Chasing willows in the wisp
Each surrounded by enigmas
Elusive elements that conspire
To survive another day
Just to break some other way
Yet in time we trust
In the future we have faith
