Brick in the Wall

Just another brick in the wall

Up, up, the rugged stones yourself haul
Reaching the top, you might feel quite small
But when you stand up, and do not fall
You feel yourself, getting quite tall

No time to stall
And to be, another brick on that wall

But even in the deepest shadow
A blooming life will grow

Road Travelled

The road travelled
Was filled with gravel
As life slowly unraveled
Exposed, to unwanted battles
Sometimes, treated like cattle
Our cages slowly rattled
Until reaching, the promised castle
On this long road, travelled

Ice and Coffee

Chilled, in a tall glass
The liquid, not made to last
Pour it down, really fast

This dark icy mass
Was not made out of grass
