The Devil You Don't, a lyric by Alan Ewing

THE DEVIL YOU DON'T

a lyric by Alan Ewing

Never knew that in you

The devil may care

So that's the way you go

Jealousy stares

Always tried to reach you

In God's Way

You just could not be true

In your ways

Attack on my spirituality

From the bottomless pit

Vile is your functionality

I find that rather sick

What is friendship if not true

A grand charade

So take your exit, you fool

With a pathetic parade

For love, it conquers all

This you will find

For those who take the other side

Will lose God within mankind

Listen, if those ears can hear

May the sound resound

See with eyes that can truly see

Divine Presence within a cloud

Angels Wait, a lyric by Alan Ewing

Angels Wait

a lyric by Alan Ewing

I never really knew your ways

As you hid within a maze

Looking for transcendent glow

For the answer I would know

Keeping in my heart special days

Figure out what angel says

Twist and turn, all back to front

Keeping on as I must

Is the space so empty now?

With no heir to the throne?

Just shadows from the past

Am I so all alone?

For what is life without the soul

The one who makes you whole

The garden gate opens wide

And there she is, my bride-child

It's So Political (Sexual Tension), a lyric by Alan Ewing

It's So Political (Sexual Tension)

a lyric by Alan Ewing

It's so political

So analytical

When you move right
My left is my word

Put it to a vote
Float my boat
For you in my life
To mean trouble & strife

Here's the new manifesto
So quick hey presto!
It’s no longer self-rule
A showdown duel

It’s so political
The way you talk
So propositional
Hand-in-hand we walk

Trip, a song lyric by Alan Ewing

TRIP

a song lyric by Alan Ewing

All of the people that you use

Emotionally abuse

You etch out lies as the truth

As you blow another fuse

Chorus

I don't wannabe part of your trip

I can't fit in to be hip

I don't wannabe, don't wannbe.

Part of your trip

How you like to play your game

Psychologically frame

Looking at the mirror on wall

We all wait to see your fall

Repeat Chorus

Middle Eight

I was never going to be part of your crowd

The years have proved it, oh so loud

I guess that my mentor is myself

Why would I listen to anyone else?

Repeat Chorus

Ruminations, a rumination by Alan Ewing

Ruminations

a rumination by Alan Ewing

I love to ruminate
As I go deep
I love to frustrate
I'm not cheap

Rumination is good
For the mind
Think as you should
Think in kind

Do some brooding
Get in style
Your own choosing
Think a while

Obsess a subject
If you must
And reject
All without trust

Kirsty Jo, a lyric by Alan Ewing

Kirsty Jo

lyrics by Alan Ewing

You've been down, around the town

Never smiling, with a frown

Such bad days and all their ways

Come the hour, there's girl power

Pretty ribbons in your hair

Make me dance without a care

I don't need to confer

[Chorus]

Hey Kirsty Jo, you've got a long way to go

Hey Kirsty Jo, play some records that you'll know

So lift your heart - a new start

Give your best - and pass the test

It's alright - give all your might

It's your need - to succeed

[Repeat Chorus]

I Sauntered Alone, Along The Walk Way (a tribute to the humble Dandelion) by Alan Ewing

I Sauntered Alone Along The Walk Way

(a tribute to the humble Dandelion) by Alan Ewing

I sauntered alone, along the walk way

All at once, a sight brightened my day

For there, they were, a sight to behold

Their yellow shining in the sun like gold

They really took my breath away

It felt that they had a lot to say

They shimmered in the slightest breeze

Giving the eye so much to please

Unheralded, as they line our paths

Never worthy of a glance

But to me they are life itself

Who could wish for anything else?

And so I make my case for them

As flowers bloom upon their stem

Who is to cast them as a weed?

When God has scattered such a seed

Beautiful Dandelion, flowers so bright

To live life you have every right

To bring beauty into concrete misery

You mean everything to me

The Cross, The Resurrection, The Ascension & The Parousia, a blog with music track, by Alan Ewing

The Cross, The Resurrection, The Ascension & The Parousia

a blog with music by Alan Ewing

The Cross

Grace: an unmerited favour from God, which saves all from themselves, received through supernatural existential within human beings [Karl Rahner, theologian], which, in 21st Century scientific terms, would equate to macro-existentialism which can reach into the micro-existentialism of homo sapient species, all in keeping with Complexity, part of the scientific laws of physics in which the greater transfers energy to the lower.

The Resurrection, The Ascension & The Parousia

The Resurrection

meets an age of disbelief

Ascension Eternal

no war, death, crying, no grief

all pain and suffering brought into relief

Hallelujah! Praise!

The King of Kings shall reign

no disease, poverty, or love in vain

Revelation: The Parousia

for well we know The Kingdom is Thine

Eternity beyond the bonds of time

Recluse, lyric by Alan Ewing & Martin Karlsson

Verse 1.
I live alone with my pain
I enjoy it so much
I wanna feel things every day
So fun to enjoy life

Chorus.

Live like a recluse

You know that it's no use

You seek out to just hide

Hide out in my mind

Shut out the whole world

Nothing has been heard

Society is so mad

I'm lost and I'm glad

Verse 2.
I live alone with my brain
I enjoy it so much
I wanna eat my own brain
And then give it away for free

Repeat Chorus.

God & The Tiny Dot, a blog by Alan Ewing

God & The Tiny Dot

a blog by Alan Ewing

I have to keep my brain exercised or else it goes into meltdown. I could fall in love and let my heart take over and take me into silly town ... Anyway, to keep my brain ticking over, I am currently reading 'A Brief History Of The Last 13.8 Billion Years' by David Baker. Of course we start with The Big Bang. Although we have to get this into perspective and realise that it was the size of a dot. Though knowing that within that dot, then The Big Bang was mighty. All that exists is within the dot, which has been expanding for the past 13.8 Billion years. The point of a drawing pin would be massive compared to how The Universe began.

There was a kind of Valentine's Day when all particles of matter met particles of anti-matter. Mutual destruction. That would have been the end of the story, if not for the fact that particles of matter outnumbered anti-matter cohorts. Hence matter went on to form all that is. Now there may be a number of these gigs where you live another life that turns out differently. Professor Stephen Hawking alluded to this in his theory of 'Bubbles', that is, that multi-universes exist. So there are potentially many of a specific person that exist. Or maybe not at all within a given multi-verse.

In all of this theory, there is no meaning. It's just random chance that anything exists. Of course, to suggest a Creator begs the question 'Well where did that come from?' It seems that whichever way the question emerges, then it is of the same form. Perhaps only in Love, meaning and existentialist questions that spring from this, can we find an answer. Certainly, science, within itself, does not contain the answers to this fundamental question.

And so we go on wondering about where life came from.
