It's My Destiny!
By WM Holmes
Whole world's beginning to spiral down
It's supposed to go up,
Its gone viral now.
It's time to step off the pedestal
before I become a vegetable.
A man with a plan is a focused man who stands in a line on rich man's land.
His small dreams held
by another's hand
that shows no sympathy.
Is my dream my dream....
Is it fake or is it real?
I think it's about time
I stepped off the pedestal!
I stepped off the pedestal wheel.
Dreams being crushed
show a lack of empathy.
Is my dream my dream
or someone else's from behind a screen?
Is the system a fake
Simply fabricated and manmade?
Is my dream my dream....
Is it fake or is it real?
I think it's about time
I stepped off the pedestal!
I stepped off the pedestal wheel.
My destiny is my destiny right
Surely I own the rights
to my fight.
Which way and where it leads should be in a straight line,
so who's destiny yours
or is it mine?
I'll know when I get there cos
the mind's more vacant,
and my body a little limp, spirits are broken think think just give me a hint!
Remind me of a life
I once knew,
I'm back on the pedestal,
so what's new?
Is my dream my dream....
Is it fake or is it real?
I think it's about time
I stepped off the pedestal!
I stepped off the pedestal wheel.
Work work and no play
But I own a home,
and my family have grown
and moved away.
I've outlived many pets
And paid off however many vets.
My retirement plan
is in someone else's hands, with tax on tax
will I ever get my cash back?
Is my dream my dream....
Is it fake or is it real?
I think it's about time
I stepped off the pedestal!
I stepped off the pedestal wheel.
Turning Turning
Forever yearning.
Wait, can you smell my shoes, they're burning!
Fire fire I am the pyre.
Someone put me out,
Please I'll retire.
We're born, we grow
We live our best life.
We lose loved ones
and become bitter.
With resentment, grow old
and become less Resilient or so I'm told.
We get ill and we become sick.
Our health declines sometimes really quick.
We plan and organise,
We have to say goodbye
and sadly we die.
Our lives remembered
And our fondest memories
are treasured.
Our lives all but measured
up to a life we once survived.
And thereafter till new hope does arrive.
Is my dream my dream....
Is it fake or is it real?
I think it's about time
I stepped off the pedestal!
I stepped off the pedestal wheel.
So with all our love for to take
on your next journey I must say
Each time I close my eyes
My thoughts are with you
and you there right by my side.
Cos our adventures are together we must decide.
Just please stick around enough to keep in touch
It's simply being polite
and not asking too much.
So see you real soon,
I'll send my love.
kiss.
