The Power Brokers (song for guitar 13)

Sunday, January 19, 2020

Governments come and governments go

Jumped up puppets in a show

National boundaries soft as chalk

Sovereignty is empty talk

There are those beyond the public gaze

Who know no laws and shape our days

We think we are autonomous

No-one else is quite like us

But we’re controlled by unseen forces

And follow pre-determined courses

There are those beyond the public gaze

Who know no laws and shape our days

Every act and every thought

Changes nothing matters nought

For us it’s Anonymity

The background noise of history

There are those beyond the public gaze

Who know no laws and shape our days

We live and love, we age and die

But never once will we espy

Those beyond the public gaze

Who know o laws and shape our days

Passing Through (Song for guitar 12)

Monday, January 6, 2020

There is nothing here left of you

To show that you once passed through

Nothing to show we shared time

No evidence of a crime

No prints where your hands used to touch

No smudges on the rims of cups

No texts on my mobile phone

No photo I might want to own

You’re a mystery wrapped in a cloud

Who I dare not question aloud

I ‘d be certified if I insisted

That you may once have existed

Is your next lover beside you now

Will he one day question how

You could leave without a clue

No sign that you’d once passed through
