Perfect And Complete
By Ben Perkins
She sat staring over her land
Beautiful and kind to all
Her life was a dream
Perfect and Complete
She danced in the morning
her dress bringing in the sun
but the people wanted more
they sent spys to her castle
to find all they could
they brought her word to others
changing thier worlds
they fought wars over her
bloody and destuctive
they made her nothing
to build thier own gain.
She hides now from the people
will not show them her face
they have brought this on themselves
Evil kings and Queens
who think they know her word
Darkness has fallen on her land
Ben
I wonder why all your songs seem to be Shania related, to me :D
Very impressive though! It really creates a dark atmoshpere around it...

How do you work out its Shania related? :huh:
Ben
Dunno' wether it's just in my twisted little brain or not, but it's just seems so... mandatory.
I mean, c'mon!
"She sat staring over her land
Beautiful and kind to all

Perfect and Complete"
"they sent spys to her castle
to find all they could"
Maybe it's just me, but that seems to fit Shania's story very well, as she has left the U.S and moved to Switzerland in order to get away from all the reporters and papparatzi.

I would never even waste my time writing a peom about papparatzi (I hate that word :()!!!
Ben
Hey, didn't mean to upset you or anything!
That was simply the first connotation that the song has brought me.

I must admit that I agree with you:) That part of the poem does sound like it's about Shania, but I don't think that the last part of the poem does though. JMO:)
Well, this is quite close to reality ;)

She's not hiding she's just out of the public eye for some time:p:p

I liked it Ben. But I was thinking about Shania when I read the poem too. :p
I forgot to tell you, I enjoyed listening to you read your poems in the "voice" thread. I love your accent. . . I wish I had an accent like that. . .

I like it Ben and if I didn't knew, I would have thought it was about Shania :p
Very good though :D
