His breathing and his sweat crease As it draws ever near It not what he knows that haunts him But the unknown that he fears
Mother nature’s been eroded By selfishness and greed As we focus on voracious wants And not on what Earth needs
All just to make more pounds and pence We corrode Earth’s natural wonder And while sea levels rise and ice caps melt We still destroy and plunder
As this financial system Leaves nature in deficit But companies do not give a toss So long as they profit
So they’ll find more creative ways To extract oil, coal and gas But mankind is so arrogant We think these fuels will last
So when Earth is a wasteland & no resources remain We shouldn’t look for excuses We’ve only ourselves to blame
-ism Three letter word Noun to be precise A vocabulary devise that divides and rules But we are the fools who fall for it
racISM sexISM ageISM All as bad as each other Yet rated in hierarchical structure
So is it any wonder Fear of those different from the ‘normal’ other Perceptually continues When any discriminatory names are placed on levels When they should all be seen the same
And no government legislation Will halt mental segmentation Unless we talk about our hate
Or else those who discriminate will just disseminate their fear In increasingly covert ways
So let us chat and consider Why some people say nigger Why some people say spag with venomous delight when it makes others sad
For unless we discuss Our fear of the unknown more openly Our closet hate will maintain this reality And in response our actuality
When he and his girlfriend always kiss A part of his body starts to swell It’s not the part that you think, it’s his lips As he’s allergic to her balm from Chanel!
Botox for your forehead
Silicon for your lips
An inch of fat is removed
From ‘love handle’ hips
Though most of the work’s complete
There is a gasping hole
Surgery can not heal it
As it’s part of your soul
The nastiness of this world
Fills my eyes with tears
Yet some people don’t take action
Due to ignorance and fear
But if we don’t do nothing
Darkness will still reign
If we just sit down on our arse
We’ve no right to complain
Some of this latest batch of poems are quite gruesome….
At times we haven’t got the strength
To face problems that seem so real
So we have to go into the shadows
To allow ourselves to heal

His putrid smell as he slept Was difficult to ignore Then she realised he wasn’t asleep But in fact a rotting corpse
#
The dog gnawed and chewed with delight The meat it was given to eat Then it salivated some more When given some human feet
#
When policemen left he sighed Then slumped his shoulders low For they nearly discovered that his wife Is under the patio
#
Though was able to quench thirst
Face had a look of disdain
As he realised that human blood
Tasted better direct from a vein
Here are some more of my small pockets of poetic thought.
The stupid ridicule The smart always question The stupid make the same mistakes The smart learn their lessons
#
I hate endings in art Tied in nice little bows I’d rather they were ambiguous And allowed to flow
#
May your ideas & hopes be endless And your words erudite & loquacious But your actions must be just Or former two will always be worthless
#
The heart Follows its own rules And as such Leaves the mind confused
#
Austerity’s not working And poor are really hurting From odious scheme That’s brought poor on their knees And is really financial cleansing
#
Politicians want even more At the expense of the poor They’re a kleptocracy gang Who steal money & land And their actions should be deplored
#
Age is just a number A characteristic used to divide What matters isn’t what number you are But how you live your life
At times when in a reflective mood, I write small poems based on my thoughts and observations of the world around me. Here is a collection of them.
When will we all realise?
That we shouldn’t look to divide
and not try to hate
but instead concentrate
on the traits that unite our minds
#
Our minds have great ability But we waste their capacity On money and division Which cause such division And have brought us such misery
#
Too many people simply acquiescence
Even if it goes against common sense
And as such we make little progress
No wonder society’s in such a mess
#
We’re not in a democracy But are governed by a kakistocracy Who have install debt slavery To maintain the rule of the plutocracy
#
Better to be me than live a lie Set my own rules than comply With most of society Who aren’t really free As they’re incapable of using their own minds
#
I like been unpredictable Attempting the impossible And if my life’s not colourful Then frankly I’m just miserable
#
Better to be crazy and weird Than follow the crowd out of fear As if you are denied Your own soul, body and mind Then one day it will all end in tears
#
The hyperbolic idolatry Of the idea of celebrity In today’s modern society Makes me sigh depressingly
