EVERYDAY IS HALLOWEEN



Well I live with snakes and lizards
And other things that go bump in the night
cos to me every day is Halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight

well any time, any place, anywhere that I go
all the people seem to stop and stare
they say 'why are you dressed like its Halloween?
you look so absurd, you look so obscene'

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me?
it's the same, it's the same 
in the whole wide world

well I let their teeny minds think
that they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
and I dress this way just to keep them at bay
cos Halloween is everyday
it's everyday

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me?
I’m not the one that's so absurd

why hide it?
why fight it?

hurt feelings
best to stop feeling hurt
from denials, reprisals
it's the same it's the same 
in the whole wide world.

THE NIGHT SHADOWS


THE NIGHT SHADOWS

A wonderful fact to reflect upon,
that every human creature is constituted
to be that profound secret
and mystery to every other.

A solemn consideration,
when I enter a great city by night,
that every one of those darkly clustered houses
encloses its own secret;
that every room in every one of them
encloses its own secret;

that every beating heart
in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is,
in some of its imaginings,
a secret to the heart nearest it!

~ Charles Dickens

THE PERIOD


THE PERIOD

It was the best of times,
it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom,
it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief,
it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Light,
it was the season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope,
it was the winter of despair,
we had everything before us,
we had nothing before us,
we were all going direct to Heaven,
we were all going direct the other way...
 
~ A Tale of Two Cities
