POEMS

I don’t feel part of this world anymore I want to go home where it’s safe and secure I just don’t fit in with the rest of the crowd I feel all alone floating around like a cloud Family and friends that were once so kind Are all now strangers all the love has declined The pretence was all part of the cunning mind The smiling assassin taking aim shooting blind Breaking apart … [Read more...] about I Don’t Feel Part Of This World Anymore

What would you like me to thank you for A state education that opened the door To a life of toil of struggle and pain Bribery and corruption a one-sided game Hold up a mirror and don’t run away Look at yourself in the cold light of day What do you see be honest and brave I see a manipulated contaminated slave Go to your work and endure all the dross Who’s the bigger jerk is … [Read more...] about You Owe Society Nothing

Never take on the world for there is only one result You will suffer much pain you’ll be riddled with guilt You’ll be lost and confused you’ll be cast well aside You’ll be laughed at and abused ridiculed and chastised When a challenge comes along do not hide or give in Take no interest in the outcome be it lose or win In the end all that counts is you did your best Put aside … [Read more...] about Never Take On The World

Bow to your masters sell your soul You’re food for the wicked who love to control You fall to your knees like a weak scared child Pathological slave debunked and beguiled You believe in the state and the criminal crown You wriggle like bait then obey and lie down You scream like a baby and wave your flags You give them your money and dress in your rags The pomp and the glory … [Read more...] about Bow To The Royals

Step by step they dismantle freedom Rehearsing the terror after dark When everyone believes the story told And questions nothing it’s a walk in the park Problem Reaction Solution As easy as one two three Watch the drama unfold See your lives controlled On your fifty inch colour tv It’s like turkeys voting for Christmas That’s how docile man has become Football and beer a … [Read more...] about Problem Reaction Solution

I’m off to the hospital to see my dad He’s on B ward second floor He has dementia he thinks he’s at home He talks endlessly about the war All I can do is be there for him And offer my love and affection I get very upset when he starts to cry I can’t give him much help or protection I see in his eyes he’s lost and alone Unable to regain his sanity He sits there confused … [Read more...] about Another Depressing Visiting Day

You keep on asking as if we’re blessed There are no answers for us to digest Man has no insight to the meaning of life It’s futile and full of pain and strife Think about anything that comes in your head Then never forget one day you’ll be dead It’s hardly surprising that no one is sane The drugs and the booze the lies and the pain The reason for living is not found in a … [Read more...] about The Meaning Of Life

Convince the people they are helpless Then you hold the reins Choose your path of fear and resentment Inflict the aches and pains Condemn the ones with all the wealth The driven and the clever Are they the reason for your pain And not your lack of endeavour Tax and debt slaves march in line Towards the burning fire The red flag fades into the night Then seeps into the … [Read more...] about Cast Your Net

Just when you think you finally know Something comes along and spoils the show The never ending cycle you’re up then down One minute you’re a hero the next a clown You spend all your time trying to work it out On Monday you’re enlightened on Tuesday in doubt Then Wednesday reveals even more confusion Thursday and Friday turns to disillusion You take a break from the Saturday … [Read more...] about Still No Wiser

I came across a photo At my mother’s house today My blood turned icy cold As I remembered that fatal day It was a photo of my family At a birthday celebration But that all changed when my uncle died Then came the revelation He’d been abusing my little sister When she was only six She’d kept it hidden for all these years It made us all feel sick It all came out when she broke … [Read more...] about My Uncle James

Take a taste from the golden flower Succulent nectar superpower Safe and warm back to the womb Magical content beautiful bloom Rest in peace with no more pain Nothing to defend feel no shame Death is constant floating around Relying on nothing no scent or sound Struggle through life it’s your choice No one is a victim use your voice Don’t back down retreat or delay Choose … [Read more...] about The Golden Flower

Hundreds of Thousands of snowflakes descend They fall without menace never questioning the end So pure and so virgin never touched or controlled How beautiful my snowflake so warm yet so cold I stand there in silence so peaceful and calm They land on my body full of character and charm Everyone is unique so precious and dear In a world that’s so bleak it’s a blessing to be … [Read more...] about How Beautiful My Snowflake

The magnificent magpie confident and strong Watching from the highest point casually in song Eyes like telescopes in and out for food At times superstitious sometimes misconstrued On the go spread-eagled gliding at ease Following on instinct at one with the breeze Prominent and purposeful as cool as you like Sometimes cruel and violent but always a delight Some say you are … [Read more...] about The Magnificent Magpie

Angry dad is extremely mad He can no longer see his children The secret courts have made sure of that He’s treated like a common criminal He loves his kids with all his heart But that seems to count for nothing He’s seen as a threat with his political views Both he and his children are suffering Simon six Emily three Cry every night at home They don’t understand why daddy has … [Read more...] about Angry Dad

I’d rather not know if I’m about to die I’ll ignore all the symptoms and live a lie The blood in my urine the lump in my breast The faints and the dizzy spells the pains in my chest The suffering in silence I keep locked inside The nightmares and torment the fears that I hide I’m too scared to tell anyone I know what they’ll say You must get it checked out go right away So I … [Read more...] about I’d Rather Not Know

This simple man who walks alone Desperately looking for light Closed and scared lost unprepared He knows something’s not right He continues to do the usual things Nothing interrupts his routine He’s done the same job for twenty five years He’s a well oiled predictable machine He sleeps each night without concern He’s consciously cold and uncaring He takes no interest in the … [Read more...] about This Simple Man
