fools (Remove filter)
Sonnet [The Many]
And did Old England once, play by the rules,
That nation of shopkeepers, honest folk,
Who shunned smooth-talking charlatans and fools?
Once, solidarity broke the tyrants’ yolk,
When Yeomens’ sabres slashed at Peterloo,
When Murder wore the Mask of Anarchy,
When on Cable Street, at the Workers’ Waterloo,
The Blackshirts’ arrogance met with Unity.

Even Old Fools Get The Blues
we used to walk in the canyon
talk of a future that never came

just pictures without the sound
a neck-lace of images inside a
cold tomb on hallowed ground

April First
No more fools again on April
It was last lies to believe

When the purity clean the blood
Surely life will be more...
