Views in Verse on friendhip

Old Friends

Friendships,
Too often fleeting
Only a few of them
Stay with us for life
No one can deny
The odd test along the way
Disappointments,
The joy, the strife.

The secret,
To true friendship
Equates to ‘the giving’ rather than
What we might ask for in return.
Much of it, mutual exchanges
Usually from these, we learn
That none of us is perfect
We're human after all.

At the heart,
Is an understanding...
That when needed,
You will always be there;
Keeping yourself
True to who you are;
Yet, respecting
The bond, that you share.

Views in Verse on loyalty

 

Views in Verse - on loyalty. 

'Love' in life counts for nothing ...without loyalty.

Four AM Hay & George

"At it's core ...a spiteful act"
The Sarge said at the time
"The killer fired so many shots
I'm left in just one mind..."

"His ring was in his pocket...
The motive is quite clear..."
"I'd back my work of thirty years
in what I'm saying here"

"That the men just love to be loved
and the women just want to be wanted
Yes...the men just love to be loved
Oh and the women just want to be wanted"

"Perhaps her rage was triggered by
the age of this one's charms
maybe he has strayed before
to another's willing arms..."

"But officers
I tell you this
as I stand here this grey day
The woman scorned
is my first bet
to act in this crazed way
Against my fears
In all these years
I've seen this notion true..."

"That the men just love to be loved
And the women just want to be wanted
I said the men just love to be loved
Oh and the women just want to be wanted"

"She'll likely return to her home
She'll be shocked by what she's done
Probably no place else to go
without her chosen one"

"Take her in boys ...but please be kind
She's 'lost her life' today
and remember...
sometimes in cases like this one
The family blocks the way"


"Too many times
...too many times
I've seen this reoccur
And in telling you now
of my first thoughts
I'm left with only words
a loss of basic tenets
the 'wherefores and the why's"

"That the men just love to be loved
And the women just want to be wanted
I said the men just love to be loved
Oh and the women just want to be wanted"


In the wee small hours of this new day
His words come back to mind
in all the murders of this type
I'm reminded to be kind

But it makes you truly wonder
of so many folk at large
So unaware I have to say
to the wisdom of old Sarge...

lost in a world of distraction?
succumbed to fatal charm?
or is it just hardwired
to the truth...?

"that the men just love to be loved
while the women just want to be wanted
I said the men just love to be loved
Oh and the women just want to be wanted"

Oh and the women just want to be wanted"
"...yes the women just want to be wanted..."
