I hereby proclaim
The world is stuffed
Too many politicians are taking aim
Too many people are being bluffed
That’s what I proclaim.
🔷🔷🔷🔷
I further proclaim
Man has done so much wrong
What we haven’t polluted, we’ve destroyed
And it's been going on for so long
The inevitable can’t be avoided.
🔷🔷🔷🔷
I further proclaim
It’s not a matter of “if” anymore
More a question of when
There is no opportunity to restore
The world will never be the same.
🔷🔷🔷🔷
I finally proclaim
The scars we’ve caused run very deep
The earth cries out in agonising pain
We followed the egotists like a flock of sheep
What a shame, we are all to blame.
That's what I proclaim…

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
