I have just read excerpts of a book titled: “The End: Hitler’s Germany, 1944-45” by Ian Kershaw and I was touched by the singular and tragic experience of one individual who was murdered because he chose to defend his community from the nihilism of Germany’s Third Reich during the final weeks of the second world war.
This man’s name was Albert Limpert. He was a nineteen year old theology...

War
“Young cats want to go to war but when they lose at a game the feeling is sore/I suggest you try unstrapping some Velcro/ that’ll teach you to keep sticking to the programme/ Learn to use the artillery when you run out of mechno.
You want to be Napoleon and you live your life like a little Borgia/ Don’t burn your bridges till you get to them/ And after that you can let the...
Feel Free To Love Me.
Who says I’ve got to stop loving you?/Who says I’m going to stop loving you?/ Every word, every contour, every curve’s got me whistling/ In your love I’m like a mouse in a maze and I don’t want or need a clue/ These sensations in my bones set my sternum to tingling.
I will love you when the Sun rises/ I will love you when we sight the Moon/ Wake up to your happy...

Seated at Centre
“Skip the ice cream/Let’s get the acidic beverages outta the decanter/Go on, tip the tight beam/Little musings,little jokes, little banter./
Let the Kamikazes come crashing through/Shattering our windows, our T.V. set, our lives/I’m going to pick my ‘jack hammer’ and love you/ Cuz nothing in the world is going to stop these blood-red vibes.

“Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted”
– John Lennon (via mythingsthathappen)
Exactly! I’ll never forget how The Beatles helped me get through difficult times in the last decade.
Time creeps up on us..
mythingsthathappen:
Over time,
Love is lost Friends are lost Focus is lost
Fear grows Pressure grows Loneliness grows
Hopes change Dreams change People change
And yet, Time itself never changes; Seconds turn to minutes Minutes to hours
Minutes we will never see again Moments we cannot recreate
Memories we hope will last forever
