Guiding Light, a lyric by Alan Ewing

Guiding Light

a lyric by Alan Ewing

Looking for inspiration – day after day

In this world – clear thinking today

Seeking the spirit within - in mountain streams

Turning nightmares around into wonderful dreams

No icons for sure – you see what you get

That is The Way – that things are set

Feel Spirit’s influence – each and every day

We listen for Your Words – and all that they say

Born for all ages – in your rightful place

Saving us all – with such loving Grace

Life lived with Love – You taught The Way

Caring for others – listen to what they say

Guiding Light – there for all to see

Mid-State, a lyric by Alan Ewing

Mid -State

a lyric by Alan Ewing

Well, there she was

A knocking on my door

I couldn’t believe my eyes

As my ears hit the floor

She came from Mid-State

Lived on the west coast

She wore her hair straight

Champagne was her toast

Then she stepped into the room

Her presence would shake your boots

Rock n’ Roll all night long

Because music was in her roots

Well, you listen to her all night long

And your senses are all over the place

You really are stuck on her

‘Cause she moves with such grace

Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, a lyric by Alan Ewing

Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing

a lyric by Alan Ewing

Here you come in imitation of Jesus’ walk

Like a prophet from Hell with your lying talk

Your political lies reveal your true intentions

Sickly hypocrisy with the poor not mentioned

Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing

Consider all of the rot

Life of your own choosing

Within the devil’s lot

Vile nature pours out from your turgid soul

The triumph of evil lauded as your goal

Venomous hatred from your every pore

Gates of Hell open as you walk through the door

Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing

Consider all of the rot

Life of your own choosing

Within the devil’s lot

Your satanic presence leaves stench and rot

Spite, jealousy, maliciousness being your lot

Foul demonic rage is the fruit of your tree

The roots of evil are so evident to see

Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing

Consider all of the rot

Life of your own choosing

Within the devil’s lot

Entity, a lyric by Alan Ewing

Entity

a lyric by Alan Ewing

Deep within your heart

Comes the call of your Creator

Far within your soul

The essence of your Maker

Lonely in a troubled night

It is God who hears your call

Troubled at the approaching dawn

Such Entity shines a Light

The Kingdom is never far away

For it lives in you here and now

Heaven reveals its gateway

As in the seeds you plough

The search for an answer

Is here for you to see

All is revealed in time

When you just exist and be

March Jottings & Gags, by Alan Ewing

March Jottings & Gags

by Alan Ewing

SPIRITUAL ROMANCE

As regards my spiritual stance

It may be such illusional trance

Maybe woven from many cloths

Will you chance to dance?

Shall I have many so many wives?

Or perchance upon the one?

Would you be my concubine?

If I perchanced upon the one

Walk ten steps behind me

If I made it so, my love

Or maybe I would worship you

Like a love from above

Who's to say who is right?

We all believe as our right

Though I believe in you

Right there by my spot

So, will you walk in the park with me

Be my love and I will gladly repay

All that your love brings to me

For that would make my absolute day

Boogie Baby!

Boogie baby!

In this fucking night club

Your worst tale from hell

Your worst kind of hub

Boogie Baby!

Welcome to hell hun

All is betrayal here

When the day is done

Boogie Baby!

Hello the nightmare

So horrible in nature

See that awful stare

Whoopsie baby!

Now is the bloody time

To let your hatred out

Such an awful crime

Oh hun baby!

Thought you were so good

Now I just don't know

If your name is mud

Gag

"I keep getting these strange numbers on my mobile" said Ethel. "You been taking those supermarket surveys again, replied Mabel.

Earth, a lyric by Alan Ewing

EARTH

by Alan Ewing

Is this the garden of Eden

In its fallen form?

So many troubles grown

So much is torn

The fall of Angels bespoken

Such an awful crime

To go against Almighty God

Such an awful time

Do we live this out now?

In our daily life

Cry out for the answers

In our daily strife

Are Angels inside of us?

As we fight the fight

Giving all that we have

With our daily might

Shall we walk to eternity?

Within our daily stroll

Wake up and then see

What exactly is the toll?

Valentine Works Do, a two-paragraph story by Alan Ewing, with Jottings

Valentine's Work Do

a 2 paragraph story by Alan Ewing

Jimmy had it all worked out. His wife wouldn't be in till 6:30 pm. Julie was always a woman of routine with her work patterns. He had the table set with candles and wine. The bed was made. The electric blanket charged up. Barry White was on the record player. This would be a Valentine's Night to remember. One for the diary. he hooved up, cleaned and dusted so that Julie would be in a good mood with him when she got home.

When Julie arrived home her sister was with her. "Oh lovely!" Said her sister. "Table set and look at those chocolates". The door chimed its bell as more woman arrived. Jimmy had forgotten that it was Julie's annual works meeting and do. He went to bed with a lot of women's voices and laughter coming up through the ceiling. Jimmy hid his head under the pillow with great frustration.

Valentine Jottings

Meanwhile, down Valentines Road, Raymond is pouring his heart out to his budgie. "Cheep Cheep' He chirped. The budgie had learned to talk and replied: 'This bird seed is crap, very cheap cheap!' [no budgies were harmed in writing this gag; and neither was Raymond] Laugh! I could cry with these gags. I wanted to be a gag writer though they kept taking me seriously. Oo la la then!

GAG: 'I keep getting strange numbers on my phone" said Ethel. "You been responding to supermarket surveys again!" Groaned Mabel.

VALENTINE: Cue to Forlorn Street, where Dave Robbins is throwing a wobble because he was turned down for a date by Janet Wharton. He said he'd put forward a pound if she topped up the date kitty to £20 ... he got small change!
