“And now, time for something completely different” Gun Roswell
Something different
Getting away, from my solitary comfort zone Feeling the tingling sensation, in each and every bone I wish I had eaten, that damned scone Because no I am hungrier, than a queen on her thrown
Something different for today, was on the agenda But, as hard a I tried, I could not seem to be able to bring back the referenda Trying hard is easy, they said But now I’m wishing, I really would get paid
Alas, working for free, is the curse of this writer wannabe Some might say, I am the ultimate dummy But, why would anyone one pay for what you can get for free Even if the charge was just a nominal fee
So, something new an spectacular this ain’t gonna be, I may be, some kind of scribbler, you see But tending into my old patterns to hold on Writing each passage till I am done
You say, I am boring and nothing is good or any fun It might as well be the Enterprise’s phasers on stun My advice then is; stop reading my stuff, don’t huff, rather write your own stuff Then I’ll be the one scolding, the things before me unfolding
“Am I really a writer? Or simply a pretender?” Gun Roswell
Writing is, hard?
When life sucks But onward you must Writing, your only outlet This is as good, as it gets
Trying to type, not hesitate But only staring, at a blank slate Why oh why, did I start so late Why must each decision require a debate
Life is hard, writing is really hard But it’s been said, out of hardship you become smart By now, after all, I should be a genius So why do I feel like so much less
Am I a writer Am I a fighter Sometimes, I am neither Today, I just sit and stare
Alas
Writing is a piece of cake Have tiny slice at first, a chapter of the slate Then another bite, see there was no smite Now the second verse, goes just like rehearsed
Before you know it You have a lot to show for it An empty plate But a filled up slate
“All command functions are off-line, which usually happens during most days”Gun Roswell
My command functions are off-line
It is, thirty one degrees Sunshine as far as the eye can see Hot in the house, hot out side Contemplating on the dilemma divide
It is summer and July Should I stay indoors or go outside Sitting slack by the air cooler divine And if I don’t move, I am feeling just fine
Alas, it is summer, the time of fun, outside in the warming sun But, once trying to feel the air with a pinky Opening the door, the heatwave hits me Why this is unnatural and does not fit me
There is no way for a northerner to survive In that weather of plus degrees, remaining alive When we were built more suited for the opposite scale And in minus thirty degrees prevail
Slouching in my chair, without any thought or care I really though it was best to share Before falling into complete despair And soon, all my command functions are gone totally offline
“A small walk through hell? Keep going!” Gun Roswell
Rough terrain
Walking until the soles of my shoes are gone Then I will continue, until my bare feet are sore Despite this rough terrain, it’s really all the same Sand, rocks, even water, it will all end in a burner
So why do I keep on moving forward then When there would be much better ways my time to spend Lazy days on a hammock in the cool shades Sipping drinks and eating food someone just for me waited
Call it human nature, or just some sort of internal hatred The have to attitude, without too much platitude Going on, even if feeling is none too strong It must be some kind of madness, or maybe, just sadness
Until this all is getting more clear to me I will just keep going, for you see, it’s so simple and easy I can always by a new pair of shoes, and start singing the blues Rough terrain, it may be the same, but I’ve no one to blame
“Don’t you wish you could live inside of a dream, at least, sometimes?” Gun Roswell
Life is but a Dream
Each night, running away from daily plight Sitting in my designated spot, trying, not to think, a lot Watching, my few favourite shows, again, again and again Seems time a wasted, as in front of the tv only spent Alas, this is my kind of a drug, trying all, that bothers me away shrug In my dreams, filled with scenes From real life and beyond, but this is my way of staying strong Hoping, sooner not later, living the life instead of catering Fantasies, unreal things, dreaming of when to sing Alas for now, life, is but a dream At least, that is the case for me
