Not All Wanderers

Not all Wanderers are lost
I hear a scurry on the ground
Red dust in the air
The monitor escapes from not only me
But the heat which is all around
And it’s gotten so hot
Sweat down my back
But the air is already so full of sweat
It’s like me and has no where to go
I here this crack thunder storm ahead
My only shelter is this little caravan
Ten thousand volts above my head
Not all that glitters is made of gold
Not all that’s earned is brought and sold
But now your so far away is that the cost
Because don’t you know
that not all wanderers are lost
So much trouble around us
Like a calm island in a turbulent sea
Have a look around as soon as you touch down
See how damaging generalising can be
So mush trouble I know
or is it all misunderstood
your lies feed me before I arrive
Judgmental attitudes won’t get past the cover of any book
Not all that glitters is made of gold
Not all that’s earned is brought and sold
But now your so far away is that the cost
Because don’t you know
that not all wanderers are lost

We All Bleed

We all bleed blood
We all bleed blood,
and it all looks the same
spilled on the grass,
dark red stain.
Rich man poor man
Man with an ugly face
Tall man small man
all have their place
White man black man
Yellow and green side
All the colours drifting away
That’s your colour and pride
So come together
Just for a while
Where everyone is equal
Everyone’s the same
Just for a while
Just for a while
Ch.
All this fighting worlds colliding
Where to look, you know we’re all the same
Need some relief from the constant crying
Grass dirt or mud We all Bleed blood.
We all bleed blood,
and it all looks the same
spilled on the grass,
dark red stain.
Some men have shadows
That follow them around
But shadows fade
Walk on the ground
And I stare at a pool of blood
On the grass
You can’t tell where it’s been
What it’s done or it’s past
Wars of religion
So many lost sons
Here is a battle no lives lost
Our feet are our guns
Our feet are our guns
