#71 Honour - To Stray a Little 23.04.2022

Humanity needs to expand its mind It's been doing so for quite a while Looking for new experiences to find New methods and techniques to trial But to do so can be frightening Intimidating to the average soul For every experience they find enlightening There'll be another to annul We're certainly scared of straying a lot Those fellows are just completely wild Better to do something safe soon forgot...

#70 Honour - Finding Honour in a Broken Soul 16.04.2022

There are no whole beings any more No creatures who are fully intact Some beings give away part of themselves to others Entrusting them, even though the other may not be aware A beautiful sign of how much they can care Each reducing themselves to become more together They are not broken by such actions They are all together more wonderful by doing so But others find that same act harder Because it...

#69 Honour - Honour Among Superheroes 09.04.2022

I don't have a great origin story. Unlike most heroes, my story is kind of dull - I've had my powers since my birth. Unless you'd consider most childbirth gory, There's nothing to distinguish mine from every other child on Earth I was personally tutored from a young age Taught multiple types of Engineering, I could get degrees overnight Though my education was not just based on the page See it was...

#68 Honour - What is Honour? 02.04.2022

What is honour? Is it the respect of our peers that we've made good life decisions to get to the present point Is it fighting our fears until we're no longer scared or put out of joint Is there honour in seeking out pleasures we enjoy, even if others don't think we should be allowed Is there honour in certain social restrictive measures, so that we fit in more with a crowd Is the honour in self-sa...

#67 Bonus - Let Me Throw (a Frozen Frisbee) 02.04.2022

The lines glows white on the pitch tonight Not an open pass to be seen. A tactic of isolation, and it looks like a defence screen The wind is howling its a swirling storm inside Couldn't keep it in; Heaven knows I've tried Don't let them win, don't let them D You shouldn't twirl the disc don't let them see Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know Well now they know Let me throw, let me throw Can't...

#66 History - The Day History Ended 26.03.2022

It was one of those days where everyone remembers where they were when it happened. The only difference between this and similar days is no one remembers where they were just before. You'd be standing there, a day like any other you've lived recently And then you'd forget exactly what you were standing there for. Being akin to the universal feeling of momentary forgetfulness You'd continue walking...

#65 History - The History of Compassion 19.03.2022

Humanity often fails to admit that its past isn't great We've become kinda lax with learning that of late So lets rewind to the common ancestor we share with apes To remind us how far we've come (as of this date) It used to be simply survival of the fittest And though it might seem painful to admit this The selfish gene was our means to survive Looking out for number one is what kept us alive But...

#64 History - Personal Histories 12.03.2022

I am merely the sum of my own histories I won't bore anyone with already done stories But know that each hi-story narrates my tale of today Which will add to the adjective of tomorrow in it's own special way While this consciousness is nothing less that so many temporal transactions Each decision that's each day given leads to more important reactions Why I acknowledge I learnt from the college of...

#63 History - The Greatest Event in History 05.03.2022

It was the oddest encounter I'd had since my birth Many years of research had led to this point you see. But I finally managed to make my mark on humanity. The first human to ever speak to the Earth I wondered what on Earth the Earth would say Would it critique for how we treated the environment? Would it tell us the purpose for which humanity was meant? Or would it make small talk then go on it's...

#62 Love - What is Love? 26.02.2022

Ladies and Gentleman, what is love? And don't worry, this ain't some bullshit hypothetical From someone about to brag lyrical About everything love has meant to him No, this is genuinely a curious question of a stranger to the concept Someone who's been told a thousand tales Of how love can cure ten thousand ails But never the contents of the ointment Sure you can call me an unemotional husk of a...

#61 Love - Ace Lover 19.02.2022

I'm a little bit socially awkward and estranged Sometimes people view me as a bit forward and deranged But that's because I'm not quite sure of myself you see It might just be I unlock this Ace Lover in me As it happens Ace Lovers are a special breed They care deeply about your personal needs About enjoying life as a whole together About knowing life can be difficult to weather Ace Lovers love but...

#60 Love - Long Distance 12.02.2022

Dear Lover, Though you're many miles away, There's no one I hold closer to me than you Though right now I can't hold your hand You're still the one helping me pull through Though when I wish you "good morning" You may be wishing me back "good night" Though you may be too far for me to see you I assure you, you're still my light The distance is far, Sometimes it can feel too great From the space be...

#59 Love - The Moon 05.02.2022

When we make love, it'll be to the moon It'll shine brightly, it'll almost swoon The great celestial orb will look down on our pairing So great are we even the moon is moved to caring It'll see us there, and bless us with moonlight So let us show our love to the moon tonight. Mate, fuck the moon. Fuck thinking you have to be beholden to a lump of rock in the sky A rock that hides half the time and...

#58 Off Topic - Voices 29.01.2022

I have a lot of voices in my head And each one of these voices love the sound of their own They keep bickering and chattering and jabbering and nattering Until they turn to one tone And all of these voice, they have one goal To suggest what they think is best for me The only problem with this simple fact is Each one has a different priority And there is a great myth The most of all fantastic of li...

#57 Colour - The man 22.01.2022

He was the colour in peoples lives, honest, kind and no liar He was known worldwide with pride as the sort of man who pushed you higher Some called him the spark, because he could re-ignite the dullest embers of any flame But now he needs a therapist, and feels naught but shame He wanted to colour peoples lives even while feeling kinda down See there's no jester left for you, when you're the world...

#56 Colour - Eyes 15.01.2022

It's quite spectacular, that we can all be identified by our eyes alone That different patterns and colours sit on the surface of our vision It can be seen that we all hold different pattern, colour, and tone Which can be distinguished by a decent optician But not only do we have different eyes externally A different eye-based appearance We also all see the world different internally We have a dif...

#55 Colour - A World of Greys 08.01.2022

It's said that these days Most people are greys. Grey personalities in sharp grey suits Their grey formalities Enabling grey pursuits And those greys, They like it this way The greyness is comforting Their scale blends softly With greyness embracing But ending up costly See, there's a price to pay To become a grey The rewards are great Security and community Yet along with grey fate There comes im...

#54 Colour - Turquoise 01.01.2022

What I'm about to tell you may or may not tell you a lot about me. It could either be a pointless anecdote, or a deeper hint as to how I perceive life. But know this, in life, the journey is often as important as the destination. The route we chose to take in life defines us just as much as where we end up. So, with that in mind, know that when I was younger my favourite colour was Turquoise. It's...

#53 The Adventure 25.12.2021

I remember when I started out, I was so naive It was a seemingly innocent and quiet eve I set out of my proverbial door Not knowing the challenges the world had in store So I braved monsters and demons Stood toe to toe with the most sinister villains I developed arch-enemies and other foes But I also had friends, as is custom I suppose But every time the challenge came my way I thought back to tha...

#52 A Toast to Adulthood 18.12.2021

Ladies and gentlemen. I bid you silence for a second. Yes, I know, but it'll only take a second. Come on, please? It's this type of thing I'm going to talk about. Alright then. Ladies and gentlemen. Fill your glasses and raise them. As I make a toast to adulthood. And ignore the fact my glass is filled with milk. Focus. This is important. *ahem* To. Adulthood. That exact moment when we all became...

51 Planning 11.12.2021

You can spend a lifetime planning Where your lifetime's gonna go You can spend a lifetime planning All the things you're gonna know You can spend a lifetime planning Trying to decide just one decision You can spend a lifetime planning Finalising your grand life vision And I know you You're the sort of perfectionist For whom the devil's in all details For whom every plan has a plan And plans for wh...

#50 Rebellion 04.12.2021

He sits in his room and plots the world's demise Through this musky gloom comes all light to his eyes This darkened vision, this darkened sight Unwelcome decisions taken in perpetual night And this propagates, spawning new dilemmas and questions But he's started this class and is determined to learn the lesson There is a grandeur, and a certain amount of style To dark this pure, as he sits and pon...

#49 Teaching Parallax 27.11.2021

One of the sad facts about life is that you have to get older One of the good facts in life is that we progress When balanced together, it can seem irritating. I'm turning it through in my head 'til my mind is a mess Yet as I grow up and older, I'm forced a new angle on life I can witness my perspectives slowly shift So while sometimes this change can be truly devastating Other times it can't help...

#48 Refuge 20.11.2021

I mean, personally, I find it difficult to see Why anyone on this Earth would become a refugee After all, it's quite frankly plain to me There's no place like home to be quite so homely I mean, my parents are there, if I'm not feeling well But for when I am, man, the place seems swell I'm safe behind these walls, it's easy to tell To never come back, now *that* would be hell I mean, why would anyo...

#47 Welcome to Nostalgia 13.11.2021

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to sell you one hell of an adventure The only fear that I have is that you'll love too well it's splendour You'll be enticed, drawn in, and instantly infatuated As I present to you the boldest hypothetical ever instigated Nostalgia. Where you can go back and live in the past Go back to your birth or just re-eat this morning's good breakfast In fact it can do both, an...
