Inhumane Humans

Inhumane Humans

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You think we are all dumb animals

That could not be less true

We know what is going on with you

We watch what you do to each other

We listen to what you say

You all hate each other

Working out new ways to kill

Yes, we may fight but we rarely kill

Someone always runs away

You are supposed to be the alpha species

But you are really just an embarrassment

No longer human

No longer humane

So please grow up and behave yourself

Before the future decides for you

Beauty Of A Hidden World

Beauty Of A Hidden World

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You can row for many miles

Hopefully, live many years

Surely you will miss the secrets

The gods were always tricky and cruel

Hiding special things just out of reach

Or maybe even out of sight

But, if you take your time living

Looking around where you would never look

Seeing the magical world hidden from you

It is truly more beautiful than you could ever imagine

Just Imagine

Just Imagine

by Lord R.e. Taylor

If you could imagine

All the places you would go

The things you would do

And the people you would see

All without ever leaving home

Unhidden

Unhidden

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Sometimes you have to shed reality

Just leave the world behind

No roles and no costumes

Just you completely unhidden

Nothing to shelter you any longer

So, show pride in who you are

Even if that means you are by yourself

Destruction

Destruction

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Homo sapiens have ruled the world for a long time

Ruining every piece of land they touched

Killing animals for any reason they could think of

Driving most into a total extinction

They destroyed the environment

Trees, air, water and natural resources 

They did not escape their touch

Even the vastness of the world’s oceans weren’t untouched

Oil slicks and massive islands of garbage cover the surface

Plastic pop bottles float across the bottom

Taking four hundred and fifty years to decompose

One thing about the homo sapiens which came so long ago

They love leaving their prints on everything they destroyed

That is just the way we are

A Different World

A Different World

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It may be a different world

But it was not that long ago

Less than sixty years

The world was not just black and white

Not even just shades of grey

The thing was despite what was wrong

The world was full of colour and hope

People took drugs and spoke of love

But times have changed drastically

All of the colours and hope have gone

The drugs have become deadlier

And love no longer exists

This world is now the different world

Sadly, it may never survive this time

Forever Love

Forever Love

by Lord R.e. Taylor

They have never spoken

Never met or even seen each other

Still, the universe can see it

It had been decided an eternity ago

These two lonely hearts will find each other

There will be a forever love

And all life will be a little better because of it

Losing You

Losing You

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I do not know how or when it happened

One day you were here and the next you weren’t

No letter or phone call explaining why

All I had left was an empty space in my heart

Your funeral was as beautiful as you ever were

Even there and then all I could say is I love you

An Impossible Possibility

An Impossible Possibility

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You weren’t expected

So many years

Millions of white tulips

But there were always rumours

Talking about something different

An impossible possibility

Opposite of all which came before

But one day you appeared

Shining in the Springtime sun

And at that moments you gave us hope

It is really okay to be different

As long as you know how to be you

You have to put on a show being you

Making sure that you are remembered

Evergreen Forest?

Evergreen Forest?

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Even nature knows

It is great to be different

In a forest of mighty evergreens

There are maybe just one or two

Who will not listen

Flashes of golden yellow

Created just as a statement

Of a different beauty
