Copenhagen Train Station Thoughts

Not caring for this way of life
On my own, no family, no wife
Do I care ? Do I feel ? Is it frightening ?
My crazed ideals from heaven like lightening ?

Sorry to say it’s never like that
Sometimes fate gets carried away
But you have to remember the golden rule of this game
You learn something new everyday

Tests of fate lie ahead of me now
Do I stumble ? Do I fall ?
Do I make myself known to the world ?
Do I choke on it all and then stall ?

When you’re playing “ God “ for a while
Well that’s what people will think
Will you understand when I prove that’s not to be ?
Will you understand ………… I only want to be me ?

Put some trust my way to my friends I will say
Not given lightly to anyone else
But if they feel their trust to be misplaced
I will accept the ruling without loss of self

Sometimes people really want to help
Sometimes people cannot cope
With a floating parameter like me
Ranting on always about peace and of hope

I’m too much for some people to handle
Others I don’t bother at all
But in the game of unknown possibilities
It’s damned hard enough trying not to fall

A new addy required for maybe one night
Maybe a few days, a week or so
Friends I made whilst I was still living here
Friends yes, but friends long ago

Will true friendship hold out ?
Will it stand the passage of time ?
Will they all fall like dominoes ?
Will they all stand together in line ?

Am I nervous ? Well yes, but I’m not
It seems impossible, but that’s how I feel
I know I should be more nervous than this
The only way I can describe it : I don’t feel really real

When searching for clues to my path
The ones I am going to take
It seems awfully stupid to me now
Some of the rules I too can freely make

All plans of man’s own making
Like metal boxes, begin to rust
We forget in this imperfect world of ours
Religious belief is truly a must

You cannot escape the necessity
Of laws, structure and order
All put there for your protection
Put there to give your country a stable border

A faith can be global it’s true
Without the need for anyone’s demise
Believe in the laws of “ necessity “
Don’t believe “ they “ just fed you lies

Your church, your faith, your rock
Your belief in an ideal so true
Your expectations weren’t certainly met about me
But remember I am NOT a God, I’m just like YOU

Flesh and bone, muscles, blood and skin tissue
Constructs my frame, gives me mass, makes me, me
Same as you are, and everyone else is
We’re all human ………………….can’t you see ?

God is a joke ? …………………… NO he’s not !
Is all I want to say
Neither man nor a woman can an ideal be
So a sexless “ it “, can now save the day

Perfection is an ideal
Immortality an ideal too
Heaven father, his son and holy spirit
Are just players in an ideal so true

Drop the “ man “ NOT the ideal behind him
Praise for guidance, and a sharer of sorrows
Drop going down on your knees in vain worship
Pray instead on your feet, for all of our tomorrows

Everything I know about this world
Someone else took some time out to tell me
All the evidence I needed for the Solution
Came from humankind’s own history

Using the entire globe as a single unit of measurement
It having the true value of one
Life shows things quite differently
It seems humans have a true value of none

We’re self destructive, hostile, unfair
We’re war-like, ferocious and unkind
We’re destroying the world around us
We’re ALL guilty of being so blind

If we believe that justice should prevail
And to someone, appoint all the blame
If everyone can point in the mirror at one time
It’s easier when we ALL share the shame

No one single person should bare
All the hatred, the persecution, the guilt
That’s the first step backwards, not forwards
That’s how societies are laid to waste, not built

But, in every previous scenario
To the prize, a cost must be made
The only cost the Solution demands
Is for the “ man “ to wither and fade

Back to the very beginning
Common ancestry of me and of you
Things started to go wrong for humankind
When they dropped the letters H and U

It allowed us all to achieve great heights
It must be right to have lasted so long
Ah Yes ! but there is still something you cannot escape
That alone, does not make it not wrong

Civilisations have lasted far longer than ours
Archaeology has made us aware
This falls out of favour with modern thinking
The establishment will think it unfair

Previous teachings accepted as truths
Now made archaic and out of date
If they want to apportion the blame to anyone
Then for God’s sake, give it to fate

I didn’t really ask for this job
But when I saw the chance arise
Whole-heartedly, foolishly, willingly
With two things open, my mind and my eyes

I leapt forward and grabbed on tight
Never knowing which way I should go
Omens, voices in the wind, fairy tale nonsense
With an open mind ? Ah well, you never know

My journey to this point was chosen
Decisions given to me by fate
My own choices, one by one, never stopping
The reasons I survive to this date

Logic ? What is logical ?
A propositionary balance indeed
Defining what is right and what is wrong
Logic depicts if you stab me …………. I’ll bleed.
