Undercourage.

Hero

We need a Hero to save us
Redeem us from those despair
Make everything seem fine again
Restraining us from self-annihilation

We told us a Hero will save us
But we can't afford to wait
I'm not going hold on to unavailing hope
So this world can tear apart

I prayed to Heaven
Asking for a savior
But how can there be help
When there's no Love around?

Then the Raven took me to the skies
Above the skies; so high
Till I can see the world from above
To see what's left of Love we could salvage

It was only then They whispered to me
We can only save ourselves by ourselves
And what's left of humanity
When we stop living for ourselves

Undercourage.

This piece is done without the white borders , J. didn't want the piece to blend into his site so he added it in. Undercourage is for all those times you felt your faith is weakening , you lack of courage to go on and our inability to help ourselves. It's not linked to the above piece Hero thou, he thought he'll make this a longer one 'cause somehow Undercourage and Hero do link but was not made so. It's our lack of courage that requires a Hero to save us isn't it?

It has been a very busy week for J. and he been thinking about something over the weekend. What is it exactly do we seek nowadays ? Fame? According to a certain magazine , it's indeed one of the most desired thing lately but what digs? Look at it this way, see all those reality TV, those superstar rock singer and dancing competition, aren't it all for fame? But he can't really lift his finger on something. After fame , you get all those fans and stuff and you go mainstream. Ah, go mainstream , haven't you been dreaming about that since the first day you started? Yet again, you don't want all the attention on you. It's like you want the attention but you don't want all the attention on you. How contradicting is that? So do you or do you not desire fame? Or is money the devil? No, seriously , think of it in a rock music way. J.'s been a die hard rock fan for quite some time and he's pretty sure that most rock music fan will agree with him that once a good rock band goes mainstream , their songs aint as good as they used to be. WHY? Simple. 'Cause people are watching, people like parents, old folks , teacher and critics etc. You are restricted , you're responsible for those people listening to you. You are no longer doing music you like but instead , you are doing music they like. So the question is, DO you or do you not go mainstream then?

Perhaps there isn't a real answer to that. It all sums down to one simple equation. Your desire and your needs. You got to get it straight though. Your desire is something you want to have and not something you need to live, that my friend is a NEED ; not desire. May you have a peaceful week and thank you for reading.
