Out Chapman Road to start the day,

Some say, and believe, bad luck lurks in threes.
That a triplet of troubles and woes, even doom,

Through the years and years,
what a life it has been.

by Maxwell Sebastian Burchett
As fast as I can
Running on, on and on
...
However you say the name,
Mom, Mum, Momma, Mommy,
We all feel the same.
...
I present these lyrics today,
For you to consider if you would,
An idea I propose, to find a way
To designate a day for doing good.
...
Wars and rumors of war
it is said will be forevermore.
If that is the fate of mankind,
what are we to do?
...
It is said and now I believe,
Only the dead have seen the end of war.
There is no end it seems
To the horrors and death from the scourge of war.
...
I once received a gift
Not much did it cost.
For me no use did it fit,
But the true worth was the most,
...
Fame and fortune I sought,
And I found, but at high cost.
Then I found it was not all that I thought.
Then in your love I found the most.

by Max Burchett
In every street and town,
Poisons abound,
Tricking the mind,
Destroying the brain.
Some seek it out
For cheaper effect,
But have to pay with their bodies,
And pay with their lives.
Unwittingly lured
By a false sense of escape,
Becoming victims
To an insidious grip.
Drugs, nothing new, in times past,
In shadows it thrived, the silent foe,
Unseen, ever present in varied forms,
Still claiming lives, shattering dreams.
Still the silent whisper beckons,
Drug allure persists, a Siren's song,
Promising solace, momentary bliss,
But the price of escape, greater suffering and death.
Generation to generation, the cycle repeats,
Drugs evolve, taking on different disguises,
Still offering refuge from life's defeats,
But devastation and darkness, all the same.
Victims seeking a way to battle their demons,
The drug becomes a demon itself.
Then finally, the addicts only friend,
Their deadly companion to life's end.
