IMAGES
If images tell the story
Hiding behind their screen
Are people with open hearts likely to win?
If their truth is bottled
In receptacles of caution
Awaiting any future holocaust
As children’s eyes beam
And dog tongues do slobber
So do adult eyes cry
For simple understanding
The right to express emotion
About the years to come
A rolling stone capitulates
As the holy book warns
Prophets are venerated as a new source of bliss
A world views its ransom
The animal in us is winning
Must we now be stripped of our clothes?
Is it time to answer our hearts?
Do cliches follow cliches?
Creating their own?

Commentary
In truth I don’t know what this is about but I have a few
clues. Clearly I had been doing some thinking! I might leave the meaning to
the critics 😊 Written more as a poem than song lyrics,
nevertheless there is a melody that I still remember and is quite therapeutic to
play.
