"LET'S MAKE THIS A BETTER WORLD," 3/4, LYRICS/MELODY BY LOLO BOMBOY, MAY 30, 2013
-
LYRICS:
-
And just like you say
Let's build our world
Let's make it our own
With our own work
It can be so nice
And so beautiful
It's all up to us
Let's give it our all
-
There is so much ill
We find in this world
Let's clean them all up
And do our work
It might take some time
But that is alright
For not very long
Our world will be bright
-
So now hand in hand
Let's take our chance
We can do it right
We'll have time to dance
When we've done it all
We will just look back
And deep in our hearts
We shall all be glad
-
So let us start now
For this is our world
It's all up to us
To make it look good

" MY FATHER" JUNE 16, 2013
" MY FATHER," 3/4, LYRICS/MELODY BY LOLO BOMBOY (No. 17) JUNE 16, 2013
-
LYRICS:
-
My father was kind
And a loving man
He did my homework
When I was still young
He made me drawings
Which were very nice
So my teachers thought
An artist I was
-
He was a man too
Who feared God so much
He'd take me to mass
Much to my dislike
He'd wake me from sleep
And would dress me up
And so to the church
So early we'd march
-
And though he was mild
His firmness showed too
He didn't spare the rod
When wrongs I would do
But he'd be the one
To comfort me too
Who'd dry all the tears
From crying I'd do
-
He never spoke much
But showed so much love
In all that he did
For each one of us

LYRICS:
-
Why do I still keep
My voice deep within
And why don't I join
My friends as they sing
Their own hymns of praise
To our dear Lord
So we can have peace
And love in this world
-
The world needs me now
To help with my voice
With one single word
I can make a choice
I can pray for peace
Though I am alone
With others I join
We can all be strong
-
The world can't have peace
If we don't speak out
With prayers to God
That come from our hearts
Let's all show to Him
We're all one in this
We all want to live
With love and in peace
-
So let's not be shy
Let's all pray for peace
And for love as well
That's all it might take

SONNET NO. 157: " I'M NOW ENDING THIS,"
FEB. 2,2013, BY LOLO BOMBOY
-
The issue now is should I still go on
After all it had not been that easy
I should never have stopped the momentum
Now it feels like it's a new start for me
-
But I spent the time in writing more songs
Should that not give me some sort of comfort
Here come the perils from stopping so soon
They seem to be worse that I even thought
-
So then I am trying to start again
Hoping to find the same thrill as before
I'm aware of the hard work that remains
Before I can say it's enough, no more
-
And I look at the joy I will then miss
A good sign is that I'm now ending this

SONNET NO. 158: "ANOTHER ONE,"
FEB. 8, 2013, BY LOLO BOMBOY
-
I might as well just do another one
Feeling that I still have the urge for it
Though I trust I can still get this one done
I still have to know what are my limits
-
But I have to go down deep for the feel
A little less won't do for the purpose
That is if I want to do this one well
I hope it does not make me so nervous
-
Again I find it quite interesting
This search for the words that I need to use
I must be able to know their meaning
So that I myself do not get confused
-
It's been an enjoyable ride this time
It could have been more taxing to the mind

SONNET NO. 159: " TILL THEN,"
FEB. 3, 2013, BY LOLO BOMBOY
-
I could not sleep thinking of you last night
And wondering when you'll ever come back
Yet there's no doubt they will all see you're right
You have been a victim of such bad luck
-
I can vouch that you are such a good man
You don't deserve what they may have dealt you
They plotted well enough to put you down
It's unjust whatever they have done though
-
I pray you hold your head high through all this
Do all you can to save your dignity
In time you will be blessed with the Lord's grace
So without guilt you can face each new day
-
I pray I'll be around to see you then
When you face the world a man born again

SONNET NO. 160: " I CAN DO ONLY THE BASICS,"

What do I really need to write a poem
Cause I do not have the talent for it
I instead make use of the poetic form
So I could write what I now call sonnets
-
It is the same when it comes to triolets
Like sonnets they have a certain structure
I just write words into the structure set
That is the way I complete the picture
-
Of course, I need to have the basic tools
Like most, I know how to write sentences
And phrases too and use the rhyming rules
And I write sans most poetic nuances
-
But I do count syllables in each line
They can be ten or eight and that's just fine
