Nothing Has Changed

Nothing Has Changed.

 

I would like to say I am one of the nation’s farmers.

Or a pinstripe suited businessman or city trader.

I would like to say I run a company or corporation.

That I will inherit a fortune from a friend or relation.

 

I would like to say i am in business and looking to expand.

That I create wealth and put it in the working man's hand.

I would like to ...

Empty Seats

Take a church full of sinners with issues galore,

each needing profoundly the grace of the Lord.

Some trapped in addiction, some weighed down in sin,

some struggling with faith, some who tried but gave in.

 

Some filled with anger and some with regret,

some who cannot forgive, but there’s one group I fret -

the judgmental crowd. They make it so tough,

thinking they have no ...

Prayer Of The Modern Day Pharisee

Sinners & publicans. Pharisees, scribes.

Unto neither of these could I ever subscribe,

for I read of these groups in the scriptures each day

and both make me feel to exclaim when I pray:

  

“Oh praise be that I’m not as other men are,

like those sinners and publicans, God keep me far

from their damnable words and their damnable deeds,

and more so than this, Oh God keep m...

This Is Today

It is not a fable or a fairy tale,

even a child could understand my plea

that is why I speak loudly and vehemently

 

I am outraged to see

how those who wield power,

supported by uniforms and boots

see us as nincompoops,

weaving narratives of a distorted history

as if nothing had been there

 

Their very accommodated stories

build paper monuments to their heroes o...

Going Viral (with Teflon Dom)

Like Saul on the road to Damascus
when Jehovah stopped for a word and held forth
Mary Wakefield met Lord God Almighty
on the A1. In March. Heading north.
In a car with something quite deadly
(who was apparently feeling unwell)
his road paved with the worst of intentions
off to Durham, or – hopefully – hell,
coughing and sweating and whining
like some self-centred, sociopath scrote

The Parable Of The Wolf And The Lamb

The Parable Of The Wolf And The Lamb.

 

We are the men of peace, they say,

we hide in plain sight of you all

taking their innocence away.

 

We simply ask that you will pray

for those who sin and those who fall.

We are the men of peace, they say.

 

We ask for penance every day,

we prey upon the week and small,

taking their innocence away.

 

We look after th...

Fairy Cakes

Fairy Cakes

 

They believed in a mythical being,

who supposedly loved his creation.

Omnipotent and all seeing -

His will needing no explanation.

They followed his lore from an old book

written by disciples raising the stakes -

that one thing they just shouldn’t cook

were those sinful and bad fairy cakes.

 

“Good will to all men” they proclaimed

(but the women di...

Oh The Hypocrisy

As it is rememberence weekend, I just thought I would post you this, in honour of many a soldier!

 

                                                Oh the Hypocrisy

 

 

            Someone get me a cloth,

For someone shat on my screen!

 

I’m scoping now,

Scoping with a full magazine

Of thirty-two rounds –

The foresight blackened

By my gun oil to assassinate

Hatred Junkie

Fake nostalgia spews out from your head

For a sepia England that was never there

Hatred junkie, you know

Where the blood river flows

Feel the bile at your knees

 

Marching bands drown out your higher brain

Blaring voices drive your soul insane

Hatred junkie, you feel

Like a cog on a wheel

Grinding so out of time – after time

 

God made you useless
