STAYING CLEAN

Sometimes days can get you down,

        Taking its toll upon the ground.

        As you try to stay clean,

        Yes that’s right from drugs I mean.

        In this life of sacrifice,

        Now saying no is really nice.

        Giving you a chance, as you fight,

 

        Cleaning up your act isn't that right.

        Letting your words take control,

        Enhancing your spirit, body and soul.

        As you go fourth, with Gods faith,

        Now understanding your life he saved

KICKING THE HABITS

        Kicking the habits, of drugs and drink,

        In this life, makes you think.

        Crazy thoughts, that sounds so daft,

        Killing of time, to make people laugh.

        In a world, of violence and fun,

        Never going back, to what you've done.

        Going on, from strength to strength,

 

        To show people love, by any length.

        Having the time to write what’s wrong,

        Enhancing your spirit, so you stay strong.

 

        Hoping that you, can stay clean,

        Along life’s road, that can be mean.

        Because in your heart you know what to do,

        In this life that belongs to you.

        Then you can stand and be proud,

        Saying you kicked the habits, right out loud.

 

HOMELESSNESS

        Homeless people, black or white,

        Over the world, day and night.

        Move around, from town to town,

        Eventually settling, themselves down.

        Leaving behind, the street life past,

        Ending their misery, oh what a task.

        Securing a future, for the best,

        So they can better, themselves yes.

        Never ever, looking back,

        Encouraged by others, for a fact

        So they can achieve, something new,

        So please help them, please will you.

 

STREET LIFE

        Seeing the things people go through,

        Taking abuse by passers by to.

        Realising things can get worse,

        Eventually because of realities curse.

        Easily slipping right back down,

        To that level that you found.

       

        Little by little as you let go,

        Into the world of drugs you know.

        Finding a friend to hold on to,

        Ending that feeling you got in you.

DIPSOMANIA

Do you know what this is?

In plain English without taking the piss.

Please tell me, what I can see,

So I can understand now this for free.

Oh I see now, is that right,

Mankind’s fuel for a fight.

Alcoholism is what it means,

Now that is something that’s in my dreams.

Including a bottle, including a glass,

Another drink please, I beg, I ask.

Taking a strole

Taking a stroll

Down by the sea

Hand in hand

You and me

Looking at the birds

Flying free

Past the pier

Don't you agree

Sitting on a groyne

With can in hand

Looking at the sea

So nice and calm

Wondering why

I'm in this place

In the middle of the day

Looking to outer space

Thinking of obstacles

That will get in the way

Of you and me

This special day

For your my friend

So close to my heart

That enjoys life

Mysterious and dark

Yet I'm the one

Who's simply lost

In life it's self

At no extra cost

Even though

I simply know

I'm a talented person

In perfect flow

Yet when I'm down

I'm a clown

Who wants to simply

Drown drown drown

As pressures arise

Through what i do

Well this is reality

So simple but true

I see you a looking at me

I see you

A looking at me

As you walk down the street

So fancy free

Completely freezing

To a degree

Yet I'm in a sleeping bag

Yes it's me

As Many people

Have shopping galore

And all I want

Is an open door

With no money

Oh what a bore

I wish someone

Would give us a score

To help us out

Without a doubt

It's my birthday

I cry and shout

Even though

I own nought

I truly know

What life's about

So I write out

These crazy rhymes

While hoping for

Better times

As I look 

At the moon that shines

And start thinking

About creating crimes

To simply survive

Out on the street

This is life

I must repeat

In a way

That's totally unique

Even though

There's not much heat

So Merry Christmas

And a happy new year

I hope you enjoy it

Without any fear

Along with your wine

Or pint of beer

As you go around

Spreading your Christmas cheer

I was living in a doorway

I was living in a doorway

Writing in rhyme

Having a crazy birthday 

At Christmas time

Feeling all the magic

Along with Frenchy too

And little Marley

Who where homeless too

Even though it was freezing

Steve came along

Along with Polish Gabbie

His partner who's strong

All cuddled up together

To take in each others heat

So we could all survive

Simply on the street

Now this is real life

In a place no one should be

Now thank you my friends

For being there for me

Even though I had no money

And was completely on my ass

They came along

Which was first class

Because they love what I do

And what I create

And said one simple thing

Which I can relate

And that is no one

 Should ever be left out

Even though we have nothing

We know what life's about

And that's helping each other

 Which brought a tear to my eye

 Yet this is street life

Which is no word of a lie

For no matter your religion

 Colour or race

 The small things in life count

As we try to find our place

Yet some have addictions

 Which covers their pain

 Just like myself

With no one to blame

Only I found my answer

 Through art and rhyme

 Which has changed my life round

And could help others in time

Smile be happy

Smile be happy

Do what you got to do

Don't be sad now

No matter what happens to you

Feel all the energy

Coming from within

Giving you pleasure

As it creeps under your skin

Know the moment

Feel it for sure

As you do all the things

That comes to you so pure

Understand the madness

As you feel the pain

It's one of those things now

That's driving you in sane

So smile be happy

It's not the end of the world

Just enjoy life

Every boy and girl

Think yourselves lucky

You don't live on the street

Rhyming out words

That come out so unique

In a way for everyone to see

So smile be happy

It's the only way to be

That's it everyone

You know what to do

Just smile and be happy

And live life so true

Because a smile costs nothing

And is absolutely free

So smile and be happy

It's the only way to be
