Dark nights

When I close my eyes 
I sometimes see the faces of all of those
I’ve  hurt 
left behind 

I can’t  decide
If I them done them wrong or right 

What was won and lost 
What was the cost 
For what little gain 
Fighting over these
Minor things 

Chasing  happiness 
Like a game 
Not honouring  soul 
Something you don’t wanna  mess with 
God do not know itself
ain’t no one   
hear to protect us 

There be  evil all around 
Feeds  on fear 
benevolence too though 
beings of light that 
want what is  best for us 

Still The futures bleak 
ain’t looking  good 
All very dark and 
It seems as if  some big 
lessons  here 
Bout  to Be learnt 
Hard and fast 
It is what it is 
Yeah Is what it is man 
So we live  it being what it is 

I Went looking for hope 
And I 
Came  back empty handed 
Looking for safety 
None  was granted 

If your happy with lies 
Mine sugar coated 
I can feed you whatever 
It is that you like the taste of 

But the truth will 
Set you free 
burn like ice does 
Tear the facade off 

show in the cold 
Light of the day 
things thought 
Loved  and cared for 

often there
cos they happen to be 
right time and places 
Feeling fated   

you could  easily be 
dreaming a different  life 
Somebody else 
Some other  sweetheart 
Two  kids 
Who would  have been  cherished 
Equally so 

Could have 
Been different 
mostly same as it is though 
That difference being cosmetic
what really then 
is the essence behind 
It all ? 

When you have  to let go 
walk away from 
All you loved 
And  knew 
My friend
Then you will know 
That  answer delivered  to you  
family 
blood 
Everything that you thought was true 
Thought that it was 

Be a good person
worthy 
everyone closest 
Man 
all of your peers 

Everything broken 
Yeah I know how it is 
Being out in the cold 
Exiled 
backs get turned 

And all you  got  left 
is spirit 

Without which you’ll
stumble and fall 

Carry that spirit within though 
And your carry the brunt of it all 
carry that cross  
To the top of the hill 
fire within 
ain’t never stop burning 

Took that pain
twist it 
turnt it  to these words 
try relate it 

In the end 
All we got is  
freedom 
to choose 
How we react to 
Slings and arrows 
Outrageous fortune 
Joys, sorrow 
high lows 
Really to  treat
These two imposters 

Triumph and tragedy
One and the  same  

Keeping your calm 
Man, Keeping your cool  

Through these dark nights of the soul 
I close my eyes and I pray 
Hoping  to make it thorough 
To the break of day 
Asking 
What  did I owe 

Did we ever  belong
you a piece of me 
And I of you  
together a whole 
Or was that  all 
tall tales 
that we told 

help ease  the pain of 
Feeling separate from it all 

Asking myself
Where did the love go 
Got  mixed  up 
duty 
Obligation and 
driven by  feelings of guilt 

everybody just  going through motions 
Trying to behave in the ways they think there supposed to 

poison souls 
craving freedoms 
all good things
When your loving  
for the wrong reasons 
Is it  right to go 
On pretending  

I don’t wanna 
See crestfallen angels
Tears forming  
tearing apart 
Somebody’s world 
that  look of hurt 
Cut like a  blade does 
ain’t no joy  
In breaking a heart 
But it’s better than living a lie 
So best try being   courageous 

And I’ll   just
Keep myself to myself from 
Here on out 
Bury these  jokes and smiles 
Any sort of hope or 
dreams 
Don’t fucking share them 
Giving out  the wrong impression 

Think that  I’m strong 
Think that I’ve more of the answers than  they do 
That I  I might be the one to show them a way to 

But I can’t show shit man 
Cos I do not know 
Muddling through 
like everyone else is 
And anything else 
Is pretense 

So don’t get fooled by the gloss and the glow
Of those who claim that they’re in the know 
Thats just the blind leading the blind 
So 
I Close my  eyes 
And I Sit to pray 
Meditate 
Through
These dark nights of the  soul 
Hope for the best and 
to make through  it to  the break of day 
And so it goes

Once Upon a Time - Virus 227 - 2/5 

Once upon a time,
A Long time ago

Electricity Fathered 
20th century tech
Mobile, TV, 
internet, 
tune in, log on, 
Find a signal and connect to a networked world, 
Where the yellow glows
Of the great cities  and  roads
Could be seen from outer space 
Footprint of the race 
Symbol of our place at the top of the pyramid
This was it, the height, the pinnacle, 

Then  Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop Pop 

Wiped out by a
tiny little virus,
Virulent, Malicious  violent 
Atishu atishu 
all fall down down 
Login’s failed, 
disconnected 
lines silent, call prematurely ended, 
Screens blank, Lights off 
Power dead, severing the head
Datas all gone , 
Once upon a time a long time ago 
It was a world full of magic and light  

Moving pictures bouncing off of satellites circling the earth 
And People carried through the skies in big metal birds 
when they spoke to a little black brick
voice got  heard other side of the world 

God named Google  knew it all; the answers to everything 
And people were so beautiful and important,
lives got recorded in a big book called Face
hedonistic race
Cosmopolitan, dark n stormy sex on the beach 

Every family sat nights watching tv tv tv 
Tell you how to act And what to say and what to eat and who to love and who to hate,
 is it any wonder we we’re led astray and taken like a flock of sheep 
How did we miss this truth so easily?
I see what I wanna see, 
hear what I wanna hear, 
Reality bends to my will;)
that’s  Ego talk; 
It’s what got us all killed; 

We come from  an Information Age, 
binary world  zero one one zero one zero
If you weren’t a one you were a zero 
Weren’t room for others  between the two two two two
Keep things simple 
Didn’t want to think too too much 
But we gotta go deeper,
see further than that
Don’t be a rat in a maze 
led by a man holding a little bit of cheese
They can see your weaknesses 
If you can’t see them too
That makes you an easy target 
And Don’t thinking that  you not a robot 
Who Cannot if  be controlled
Your whole life’s written in code 
Mother Nature wrote 
study the programme or
Your gonna get get hacked by those who know you better than you know yourself 
outsmart the architects
Find the virus causing the crash 
Rewrite,shut down, restart, bootstap,

Once upon a time a long time ago 
We came from an Information Age
everyone just one click of instagram page away; 

Once upon a time a long  time ago 
We came from an Information Age
everyone just one click of instagram page away; 

the irony, is that as the world crumbled into chaos
I Had a fall on Vauxhall bridge 
lost my grip on my little bro’s hand,
got carried  by the wave of the crowd,
I screamed and yelled, 
tried to pull my way back 
the herd kept moving 
panic, confusion,
Rambled talk, unfounded rumour that those north of the river about to get nuked to oblivion
Screaming children looking for their mummies, weeping mothers looking for their babies,
Cries of pain from bodies getting buried in the stampede, 
no help for those in need, 
It’s crowd mentality , 
people at their worst, 
 so it was that my little bro was lost, 
And Never to be seen again; 
yeah it hurts  
Every night and day 
Still got a photo from way back when we used to play and 
 Only six years old
I used to love to kiss and hold this
soul so beautiful

I Wish there was a rewind button
I would turn back time through all the terror
All those millions dying 
Just to see my baby brother smiling one more time 
never realised how fine the line between something nothing, 
abundance, oblivion, 
the dead and the living, 
to think of all the time I wasted chasing status and material wealth; 
it's a cliche until your standing in the ruins of your world,

Lyrics
Invisible wall

Round here’s an invisible wall,
Separates us from the world
Keeps us safely away, like animals caged in zoo 
Roar 

Gave her a 2-bed top floor flat in this old block thats due to knocked down 3 years back 
Water leaking from the bathroom tap 
Damp in the kitchen 
Kid got  trouble breathing 
Asthmas back so he’s 
On the blue pump every evening 
They been lost in the system again 
Ms We’re doing our best to find some temp accommodation 
Every morning, down at the hub 
Catching up with the mums 
From the world all over, 
velour tracksuits, designers’ prams, 
Gucci handbags for the weed and fags  makeup, tampons  money off vouchers 
It’s a melting pot on this estate  
No heirs or graces 
Poverty don’t discriminate 
Half the people here on a two-year permit; 
Living life with a future’s uncertain 
Sit down, drink coffee 
eat cake and biscuits 
Killing time with he same old faces
No one got much new to say except to repeat what they all saw on last nights TV
Or a bit of late-night drama watched from a bedroom window 
But it’s always the same old  story 
Someone’s fellas been nabbed cos he’s been out choring, 
neighbours grassed him for dealing, 
wife’s been badly beaten cos he won’t and he can’t stop drinking 
Mid morning and mums all still sitting round the table 
s serious talking. now 
strictly come dancing, 
pop idol 
They too tell a well worn tale 
Of a young hopeful 
Pulled from a shit hole 
Just like this one 
But a heart full of hope and a feeling of destiny 
Chasing a dream through the sky 
Like three wise men following a star 
These kids so disposable 
A year from now no of us’ll remember 
Who? Who who who ?
Replaced by someone fresh and new but still 
Talking the same old bull as before  bout how this it they what they born to  to do 
Yawn Yawn yawn yawn 

Round here’s an invisible wall,
Separates us from the world
Keeps us safely away, like animals caged in zoo 
Roar roar roar roar 
(Repeat 3 more)

Round here it’s like Groundhog Day
It ain’t deja vu
just nothing new 
A sleepy feel 
Like it’s always 5 on a Sunday afternoon 
And No one seems in a rush
Girls out in slippers and jamas 
Pop the shops for a pack of bensons 
Middle aged men sitting on benches 
Sipping from a can of kestrel 
Trying to make it last through the afternoon 
only place with a little bit of hustle 
Is William hill
Shifty blokes shuffle in and out; 
Standing about smoke cigarettes 
And taking about how the roulettes fixed 
But there still feeding it  all the money from   the mrs Christmas box 
And they’re Gonna get all paid back
They’ll swear down  on that 

Maybe it’s something in the air round here
Makes it thick,
Tightens the chest 
shortens the breath,
Too many people  living life Without a  purpose 
Where the Most important job done in a day is to take the dog for a piss and a shit on the green,
It’s eerily quiet,
Don’t hear many cars passing, cos 
This whole estate doesn’t lead nowhere
Built out of the way on a landfill site 
it’s Like an open prison in the countryside 
Someone must have hoped that we’d all wither and die
So is it any wonder these jobless blokes 
Sit  and smoke, drink from cans, watching that roulette wheel go round and round and round 
And all these mums huddle together in the centre every morning
Trying to keep loneliness at bay,
And hope that one day
Something gonna change for the better 

( Chorus )

Lyrics
Easy End Original 

Cash money 
Cash money cash man 
Mr East end original 
Cash money 
Cash money cash man
Mr East end original 

Why he started chasing young girl his age, I’ll never know
Had a loving wife, 
Dinner ready on the table every night; 
Grandkids, apple of the eye 
Family owned this little supermarket  in
Deptford high street 
since he was knee high 
Walk around in a camel coat, 
smoking on a  big cigar, 
talking  loudly
making sure that everybody heard, 
Mr gangster;
East end original 

Then you see this pretty little thing always be around; 
petite Ghanaian girl; 
call herself Susan
big arse and , tits , 
 the ingredients;
Often wondered how it all began 
Surely something innocent
She had  the instincts of a predator 
the wiliness of a child raised in the third world 
spot a soft spot in this old man
Suddenly 
he’s hired out a limousine ; 
took her to Kempton  racing
Roses, champagne, 
Night at the Hilton. 
Show her why his name still well-known from Deptford to bow 
Mr East end 
Original 

Chorus 

Listen son,
What the eyes don’t see the heart can’t grieve over can it 
You don’t ask questions and you don’t get told no lies

Not sure where he thought they were heading 
Next thing you know she’s in his shop every evening 
Big smile on her face; 
hi baby, baby, baby, babe
filling up a bag 
no one ain’t never seen her pay 
Falling out with her flat mate; 
cos the old man always creeping 
Girl say she to start reading 
about infidelity 
come church Sunday
meet the pastor 
Get set on the right way; but 
Susan can’t read or write anyway
Running Straight from the village; 
from the man who brought her into the UK;
always been hand to mouth living, 
She ain’t gonna listen to what God say,
still ain’t forgiven for the way he took her sister away 

Old man can’t understand why she filling  bags every evening,
Till he learns about the family back home that he’s feeding; 
And Susan’s made him a hero 
Everyone back there kissing on his photo 
All his money eating eaten 
When the wife asks for a new Louis Viton
Suddenly he’s hard of hearing 
Sorry love?
Didn’t quite catch that
Cos now he’s paying out for two bed flat in Lewisham;

(Chorus) 

Starting to feel regret 
Suddenly he’s disappearing from the scene, 
Little Suzi walking streets asking where he’d been 
Her Rents overdue, 
Seems that he forgot to pay
Shutters pulled down on the shop, 
No one knows where he is,
Ain’t been seen for days, 

Eventually someone lets slip where he lives 
And Suzie off the have it out with to his mrs;

Must have been quite a sight 
Apparently, all the neighbours cane out to the watch the fight 
Suzy came back. With two black eyes
Mr gangster trailing behind 
Suitcase filled with clothes 
Now then stacked up
And he’s been disowned 
Everywhere they go 
People turn and start to whisper about this original east end gangster

Wild One - Lyrics

Verse One

I know not what I do
I know not what I done


They wanted that boy with 
Big Plans big dreams big car
Big letters after his name; mba; md, bsc; phd 
Dr lawyer dentist
6 figures earnings 5 bed London penthouse 
kids sent private 
socialising with the finest 
Holidays on Caribbean islands 

What a life that would have been 
Could have seen the world all over
What a life you could have had 
Instead you’ve been to hell and back with this Wild one
This wild wild one 
You bee. To hell and back
Sorry for all the pain and hurt I caused you along the way 
The journey ain’t easy 
I guess it’s a cliche to say)
That the character is truly formed 
In the telling of the story
(Rather have been a lifeless ordinary
average run of the mill,
Play things safe 
Don’t get stirred by powerful emotion,
Spirit that never soars so full of inspiration; 
can’t contain it;
Surges of creative manifestation
Rip up the the landscape; 
These tornados cause so much devastation 
You’ve had to live through all the drama 
Sift through the pain and suffering 
For the little pieces of priceless wisdom. 


(Chorus)
I know not what I do
I know not what I done
I did not think 
I did not plan 
Always carried by a great great wind 
I let myself be carried by this great wind
(Repeat)

2nd Verse

Always out late 
Never played that 9-5 game girl 
Ain’t never done nothing by the book
Can’t live a life that somebody else already already writ
I was a true original from the go get 
But  that was my 
My Achilles heel too
Never needed Inspiration cos there already a fire burning so brightly within that I could hardly contain it; used to drink day and night just try and tame it 
I Didn’t wanna feel a thing; 
Had to learn everything the hard way 
suffering lots of hurt and heartache
It was price paid to have everything my way 
My way my way 
My way - did my way 
I’m a wild one wild one wild one 
with a restless spirit and this manic-depressive energy 
Something always calling out to me, from the back and beyond 
Taking me out  on suicide missions 
And I gotta go follow 
Otherwise these spirits torment me relentlessly
Like children begging please please please 

(Chorus)
I know not what I do
I know not what I done
I did not think 
I did not plan 
Always carried by a great great wind 
I let myself be carried by this great wind
(Repeat)

Yellow Redux

Dad’s down the boozer
Been there all of Super Sunday  
drinking Stella’s 
Watching footy with the felllas
‘It’s the Merseyside derby, son 
Do you know it’s significance?’
‘Yeah, but we live in Selhurst’

Mum went in to get him
But all she got given  was a mouthful 
Meant to be going out 
To this new Bingo hall 
Next door but one ain’t stopped
Banging on about 
Got a 16 lane bowling alley 
And an all you can eat Chinese buffet 
But all they ever order’s 
chicken charmain
Dad said he wouldn’t touch it 
with a barge pole anyway 
She had her hair done, painted her nails
Bought new shoes 
Had a wax down south 
She got the big guns out,
bang bang 
She got the big guns out 
bang bang 

Now she’s pacing about the house
Talking about 
How she’s gonna give him
a right clout round the earoll
He ain’t gonna know what hit him
Can’t I go get him?
‘Babe, you know he always listens to you’
‘Alright mum, ease it up, ease it up’
Only cos I wanna I meet Stevie
He’s got something for me
200ug of the finest LSD
Stevie said it changed his whole mentality 
Dropped out of uni 
Now he works in Macci D 
Said it ain’t about the money no more
If that’s the case he should do it for free 
Yeah? 

‘Hello son; come and give your old dad a kiss
Did I ever say how much I love you?’
‘Only when you’ve had a few 
Now let’s get back 
Mum’s having kittens 
And I just dropped a tab of trippy cat
Don’t wanna start tripping
In front of the lads
That yellow looking more yellow 
Than I ever seen yellow looking like yellow before’
Yellow yellow 
Let’s get to the get go 
Otherwise things gonna get
Too yellow 
Yellow, yellow 
Is it just me or is this world starting to move 
Very very slow 

One of us drunk
And One of us tripping 
Mum’s at home having kittens 
Baby sister in her room with her boyfriend 
revising Algebra
But he’s got his hands all over her

Dads thrown his arms around me 
He can hardly walk
How he’s gonna get 
Food from the fork to the mouth 
Without making a total tit out of himself?
The man’s out of his tree
I’m holding him up having an  epiphanies 
About how there 
Ain’t no you or I 
This illusion of us being individuals is like a wave breaking on the oceans surface; just a brief moment of separation where you 
form a shape of your own before returning to the source to reform 

Dads puking on the pavement 
It’s such an iridescent yellow 
Yellow yellow iridescent yellow 
Yellow yellow iridescent yellow 
Now mums calling 
Hello hello 
Irrisiscent yellow yellow 
Hello hello 
What you talking about 
Whets going on down there 
Had to hang up
Can’t deal with that right now 

Lots of baby kittens 
Multiplying and jumping 
Meow meow meow

Ultra_eko has been lost to the Underside of late, a subtle astral realm created by a rockhopper penguin. His continual process of death and rebirth has led him far from any semblance of original self. Recent spontaneous OBE’s mean he spends far less time embodied than he used to, mostly for tax reasons. He refers to himself in third person as a fractal iteration of source consciousness, cofounder of Underside Entertainment, and lama admirer.
