Social Media? It’s a social construct I assume?


“I used to twat a lot, until the bird was crushed, by an the letter x no less” Gun Roswell

Social Media? It’s a social construct I assume?

I the platform formerly known as twitter
Had suddenly found themselves in a bit of a pickle
The users always having been quite fickle
Suddenly the lot of them turning bitter!

Those crowds, always oh so very loud
Finding their consolation in other places
Regrouping the darkest corners of the internets
But those kinds of places usually have bad effects
 
 So, what now to do, when the option is to lose
All those mostly faceless and anonymous friends of the world?
The shared memories of whatever topic, fandom or chat disappearing
Into the bits and bytes unknown heaven?

Maybe pick up a book or go out for a walk?
Maybe even spend some time with the family estranged and distraught
Just a few suggestions to rid of the anxiety caused by the FOMO kicking in
The fear of missing out an all those unimportant and useless things!

Becuase the bird have finally flown out of its nest
Most likely dropped out with a stone as though like a pest
Now the big corporation ruling the world, or so I’ve heard
Surely not a surprise, even if not nice, alas, just try, to breathe

The world really did not end, now did it?

Aches and Pains


“There is such thing as bad pain… and then, there is the constant nagging drilling ache which just won’t quit… will you get used to? Probably. Is it good to yield? You decide.” Gun Roswell

Aches and Pains

More, than a constant
Those feelings are present
Tiny nagging parts
Move, and someplace will smart
Aches, pains and cracks
No matter which way you take a turn
You can bet, somewhere, there’s a burn
Nagging, whining, complaining
No way of go letting
It is for forever now
Just wish there was a how
To rid of this, constant

Up or Down


“Up and down we go ” Gun Roswell

Up or Down

Going up or going down
Whether in a city or a town
Stairs leading every where
Just step on this manual fare

Up and down, all around
There is no beginning, no end
Just a lot of time to be spent
To these escalators, we are bound

The Way Home

“The way home is not difficult to find” Gun Roswell

The Way Home

Follow, the lights
Shining, so bright
High above the ground
In a solitary window
Your way back home
Now, easier to find

Visitor pass

“Just visiting, passing through, no issues!” Gun Roswell

Visitor pass

Taking the chance

For an old place to visit

A visitors pass

Was actually needed

Checking out the sites

As the sun was shining bright

All the familiar faces

And some new ones

A chat and a cup of coffee

Someone even offered toffee

A bite of cake along side

Everyone in big smiles

It lasted only a while

But sometimes it’s good

To go back if you could

Nothing lasts forever

Except great memories

In our eternal dreams

Hurry 

“Sometimes, one needs to run instead of walking” Gun Roswell

Hurry 

Hurry, hurry, time is running out!

Running, running, like crazy about

Trying, trying, hard not to shout

But, loosing my mind? 

There is really no doubt

Hurry, hurry, hurry

Worry, worry, worry

Those are the trends of today

And they really, can drive you

Into so much dismay

What if I just say

I don’t want anymore to play

Hope it’s not too much trouble

But I just wish to stay in my own little bubble

Time flies 

“Time flies no matter what” Gun Roswell 

Time flies 

Daylight savings what a joke to drop
No matter which way you turn the clock 

Running out of time will never stop 

Time keeps on flying no matter what
Whether you’re having fun or just stopped 
Crying a bucket it’s all in the same rut 

Just so yourself a favour and stop worrying about the flavour
Take a moment in time, maybe even try to smile 
As time is relative, only in some one else’s mind 

Mirror world 


“Mirror, mirror in the wormhole” Gun Roswell

Mirror world 

As through the vibrating looking glass I go
Time itself will come to a stall
Then, I let myself gently into the abyss fall 

The world of my own reflected
On the other side upside down detected
Something so similar but different than never expected 

I find myself in a parallel universe
When I had set the gear in full reverse 
Then I touch the liquid and the image is disturbed 

It’s almost as looking into a mirror
Everything getting so much nearer 
The image is slowly getting clearer 

When I finally reach my destination
There really is no more comparison 
It’s all too different by definition 

But it’s fine for the time being
As my alter ego I am seeing
With the same quirks, is quite freeing 

Knowing some things never change
Even in another and different place 

I still carry myself with the same old face 

Lemons of life 

“When life gives you lemons, peel one up and eat it like a sourpuss” Gun Roswell 

Lemons of life 

Sour said the fox of the grapes
As it did not like the funky taste 

It’s far too hot outside right now
But then again, yesterday it snowed 

My face is too ugly for television they said
So why not try getting a job in radio instead 

I’m constantly worried of every little thing
But taking a shower makes me wanna sing 

When life gives you lemonades
Take them back to the store to exchange 

Peephole

“Life through a peephole” Gun Roswell 

Peephole

Through the tiny window
I watch the outside world
As the soft clouds by flow
And I wish onto them to be hurled
To fly like the birds in the skies
Or take a ride on a horse divine
To for it all and then fall
Fast asleep and dream for more

But it’s not for me
For you see 

I am the watcher
Behind the scenes
I am the onlooker
Never the participant 
I am the ever loner
When the others live
I am the one keeps the record
While the others sleep
I am alway here
Behind the peephole
Watching, learning
Sometimes even yearning
Go, be a part of it all
But as time for me has stalled
As I am the one
The caretaker of it all
