The same things that bothered me in the past
have now got back to me and they ‘re pushing hard
now whatever I have to do I have to do it fast
this time though, it really caught me off guard

All the things that need to be done and more
I never saw this chance coming at me like that
and now I have to be even faster than before
if I really want to keep wearing the winner’s hat

Not sure if what I ‘m doing is at all the right thing
as always we take it as it goes and just go with it
no matter how hard or easy it is what life will bring
consistency is the key, I know that, I ‘ve seen it

Time is not Enough

Nobody told me when I was young
that as I get older time is not enough
and I could not foresee this like the rest
I realize this now that I ‘m part of the test

It’s hard to maintain consistency now
there is no time but I can manage somehow
of all the things that show up all the time
I tend to keep the ones that keep me alive

The problem with this I cannot keep up
no matter how much I try I always end up
falling short of time and a little bit behind
and this messes up with my tireless mind

It’s also hard to say no when there’s a tease
DOs and WANTs of the past I can now please
and when these come into the game again
the mind can resist yet the heart will not refrain

Some people say it’s a matter of choice
and that’s always the catch nobody enjoys
it’s really hard to manage and do all things you love
you have to choose only a few as time is not enough

The Last Walk XI – Calm as you Are

Eleven years since then
not going to forget
friends now everywhere
calm as you were

Last walk back in my mind
it took a break for a while
felt like something missing
a busy day’s boring meeting

A very calm yet cold day
it ends with a concert yay
the plan of that day in the past
is still alive and it will last

The promise made long ago
still has a long way to go
a solid well thought idea
that has evolved year by year

I should go now and begin
what the last walk got us in
calm as you were back then
calm as you are now my friend

Cancellation

I ‘ve been thinking about it for long
sooner or later I got to finish the song
it’s been ages since I have started it
along with other projects that delayed it

Thinking that in order to complete this
it doesn’t have to be the bee’s knees
then again I need to cancel other things
to make the time to rock those strings

The tough thing to do is to decide what
can I put aside an existing project that
has been in the wait for a very long time
and nothing shows it will reach its prime

The reasonable thing to do is cancellation
but these projects are my mind’s salvation
putting it aside will probably do the trick
give it a second chance, let it be a future pick

Wishful Thinking

Eventually there will be progress
far from anything you ‘ve ever seen
artificial intelligence, virus, soldiers
scare you more you ‘ve ever been

Now that we are trying to be our best
things show up to remind us we are not
and while this one gets us all stressed
we ‘ll manage to be on top as we were taught

You may be calling this wishful thinking
as it focuses on progress and beyond that
however it might become quite misleading
and lose the argument to an AI chat

Technology is moving on quite fast
progress is inevitable which is good and bad
the future we talked about is here at last
the management of it though seems quite hard

The Way Forward

Words have no meaning
when people do not understand them
same as a bird in the evening
making noises above them

It took years of hard work
making it difficult to change
if you don’t like it just don’t
listen to it and turn the page

Of all the languages we speak
there’s one that has no sound
but without it how do you think?
how do your thoughts form or come out loud?

Fundamental questions on the rise
no time to think about them now
make me see with your own eyes
the best way forward somehow

The Calm before the Storm

I don’t know if a storm is coming
but things lately have been relatively calm
it feels weird for some reason
yet inspiration has started to come back

The usual worry of our times
never be stress free or something is wrong
it’s not just me I know it though
I’m back in the mood for writing a song

A song about hyper productivity
never rest, always keep trying for the best
run things concurrently
be ready when it’s time for the ultimate test

Somebody told me today
get some rest before you get tired
it’s the key to consistency
though self discipline also required

We ‘ve reached a level where
if things are going well we get worried
if things are bad is normal
maybe a post trauma of the virus Covid

Maybe a storm is not coming
maybe I should enjoy being calm for days
and I should write that song
that will speak of our times’ tales

V for Val

She’s not gone yet
that’s a first
maybe something wrong with her?
same thirst

Someday we ‘ll look back
and see love
not a single hack?
maybe for laugh

The number is eight
decade record
is there such thing as late?
split of a second

It’s still the beginning
going well
no signs of mistreating?
no bell

She’s not gone yet
that’s a first
should I be worried about her?
I’m blessed

Away she will run
maybe one day
are you sure it’s not just fun?
Yay!

Let’s hope she will
remain my gal
would you, I mean, for her, kill?
V for Val!

Cheat

It’s in your mind all the time
but you still resist
even when you are doomed
you persist

All around you everyone cheats
why shouldn’t you
things don’t move on this way
being you

Then again when is it a cheat?
when is it not?
questions to boggle the mind
on the spot

Principles may fade sometimes
when mind not clear
it’s tempting to be honest
oh dear

At a time everyone cheats
you play fair
shows a man of purity
you dare

Strange not to cheat today
life moving fast
someone who does not cheat
at last
