Problem Reaction Solution

August 4, 2019 by Kelvin Rush

Step by step they dismantle freedom
Rehearsing the terror after dark
When everyone believes the story told
And questions nothing it’s a walk in the park

Problem Reaction Solution
As easy as one two three
Watch the drama unfold
See your lives controlled
On your fifty inch colour tv

It’s like turkeys voting for Christmas
That’s how docile man has become
Football and beer a youtube career
Celebrity the fake and the dumb

The state will own your children
Keep your mouth shut and do as you’re told
Send them to school get them used to the rule
Systematically brainwashed and sold

Living in a cashless society
Your credit turned off anytime
Like a prisoner in hell with nothing to sell
Communities in total decline

At least you’ll still have your shopping
All the make-up clothes and shoes
No fight or resistance a pathetic existence
With no real opinions or views

I’m sure one day when you look back
You’ll regret the sale of your soul
CCTV ID cards
Police State and global control

When you finally wake up to reality
And come out from behind your door
It will be too late to change the fascist state
You will suffer like the many gone before

Another Depressing Visiting Day

August 4, 2019 by Kelvin Rush

I’m off to the hospital to see my dad
He’s on B ward second floor
He has dementia he thinks he’s at home
He talks endlessly about the war

All I can do is be there for him
And offer my love and affection
I get very upset when he starts to cry
I can’t give him much help or protection

I see in his eyes he’s lost and alone
Unable to regain his sanity
He sits there confused scratched and bruised
Unaware of the unravelling calamity

He’s fading away there’s nothing more to say
Disappearing in the blink of an eye
Clinging on to hope unable to cope
A prisoner while life flashes by

Even humour disappears that once controlled the fears
All that’s left is an empty fragile shell
As nature takes control to receive another soul
At least he’ll be released from this hell

I look around the ward and see the same discord
Families going through the same routine
Nothing much to say another depressing visiting day
We all exchange pleasantries and vacate the scene

The Meaning Of Life

July 31, 2019 by Kelvin Rush

You keep on asking as if we’re blessed
There are no answers for us to digest
Man has no insight to the meaning of life
It’s futile and full of pain and strife

Think about anything that comes in your head
Then never forget one day you’ll be dead
It’s hardly surprising that no one is sane
The drugs and the booze the lies and the pain

The reason for living is not found in a book
It’s like having a dream but you never wake up
It can’t be explained by sight or sound
It’s magnificent and godlike immense and profound

It’s short and sweet it’s bitter and pure
It offers you thrills but gives you no cure
It’s bloody and quaint it’s violent and cruel
It pretends to be saint but acts like a fool

It rises in many and renders you weak
It causes such heartache it’s coy and discrete
It knows you will suffer before you give in
It’s cunning and stunning and determined to win

It shines like an angel it oozes with joy
It’s willing and able to kill and destroy
It moves off in silence then strikes like a snake
God help all the ones who lie in its wake

It’s confusing and baron and incredibly wise
It’s intrusive and Aaron it laughs and it cries
It pretends to be clean when in fact it infects
It’s rude and obscene and hard to detect

It always reacts and never forgets
It retains all its strength from the ones it protects
It creates then dictates then destroys all that’s good
It debates and dilates and feeds off your blood

It’s rigid and torrid corrupt and insane
It thrives on emotion like anger and pain
It lurks like a virus it’s patient and calm
It’s willing and able with swagger and charm

It comes out of nowhere with fire and gust
It’s heartless and cold it’s bold and robust
Nothing on earth can stand in its way
It flatters and shatters and batters its prey

So before you ask what’s the meaning of life
Just remember my friend we’re dumb and so blind
We’re specs on this earth of no consequence
We’re meaningless parasites an insignificance

Cast Your Net

August 4, 2019 by Kelvin Rush

Convince the people they are helpless
Then you hold the reins
Choose your path of fear and resentment
Inflict the aches and pains

Condemn the ones with all the wealth
The driven and the clever
Are they the reason for your pain
And not your lack of endeavour

Tax and debt slaves march in line
Towards the burning fire
The red flag fades into the night
Then seeps into the mire

Denigrate the poor and homeless
Never feel guilt or shame
Feed yourself until you burst
Then play the victim game

Be controlled if you wish
But don’t expect the change
Hoping someone else will rise
Is not a fair exchange

Take responsibility for yourself
That’s what we all must do
Be the change you want to see
And let the light shine through

Faith is the key to unlock your dreams
A simple life of learning
Resist the toil and endless stress
The jealousy and the yearning

Blessings come in so many ways
Trust and you shall receive
Pay no attention to futile days
Gossip or make believe

Cast your net into the sea
And wish for no return
Do not deal in fantasy
Reward is not your concern

Go with the flow for if you fight
You’ll suffer like the rest
Walk on your own towards the light
Don’t challenge or protest

Cast your net into the sea
Then turn and walk away
Don’t look back or hesitate
Embrace the brand new day

Still No Wiser

August 4, 2019 by Kelvin Rush

Just when you think you finally know
Something comes along and spoils the show
The never ending cycle you’re up then down
One minute you’re a hero the next a clown

You spend all your time trying to work it out
On Monday you’re enlightened on Tuesday in doubt
Then Wednesday reveals even more confusion
Thursday and Friday turns to disillusion

You take a break from the Saturday blues
By Sunday lunchtime you’re back on the booze
Before you know it you’re back to square one
Still no wiser wondering where the week has gone

My Uncle James

August 4, 2019 by Kelvin Rush

I came across a photo
At my mother’s house today
My blood turned icy cold
As I remembered that fatal day

It was a photo of my family
At a birthday celebration
But that all changed when my uncle died
Then came the revelation

He’d been abusing my little sister
When she was only six
She’d kept it hidden for all these years
It made us all feel sick

It all came out when she broke down
And finally released the spell
My Uncle James with his evil games
Is now hopefully rotting in hell
