The Nature of The Beast

Some days life feels like a famine
Some days it feels like a feast
Still other days it's a little of both
It's the nature of the beast

Some days, bad luck sneaks up on you
But only when you expect it least
Other days it's the other way round
It's the nature of the beast

Too many Jasons waste their lives
Chasing after some golden fleece
Only to find they have run out of time
But it's the nature of the beast

Because time catches up with everyone
From the lawyer to the priest
There is no time for regrets or fears
It's the nature of the beast

We all have our beasts inside us
And we like to let them out to play
To carries us through whatever
Hardships life may send our way

Sometimes the beast is a hammer
Smashing down the wall of lies
Revealing the truth behind all the hate
Stripping haters of their flimsy disguise

But still some days life feels like a famine
Some days it feels like a feast
Still other days it's a little of both
It's the nature of the beast

How to Avoid the Consequences of Social War

There is something in the air, my friends. It’s the foul odour of rot. It’s the stench of animosity. It’s the reek of cowardice. It’s the sickening putrescence of a soul. · Bullying has come to beBee. It cannot be tolerated. · It will not be tolerated. · It might be strange that ...

The last day before school starts ... a familiar and comfortable sensation.

We always have these conversations no matter how many decades have gone by or where we find ourselves; it seems Labour Day encourages them. They are the conversations and memories of the last day before school starts, and although not technically the last day of summer, those mem ...
