politicians (Remove filter)
A Stale Wind
What am I but air
Another breath
In an increasingly breathless world
Another sigh
In a whirlwind of exasperation
Unheard against the halitosis
of political exhaling
Dissipating under the hot breath
of false rhetoric
And hot-air promises
Soon to blow away
Like the weary farts
Of a backbench octogenarian

TREE WISE MONKEYS
If you close your eyes
to the world outside,
will the fighting suddenly cease?
Will brother and sister
hold hands together
and build a new life of peace?
Does a person, born blind,
not hear the teeth grind
as disaster, from greed, is grown?
That because he can’t see,
thinks we're are all living free
and reaping the seeds we have sown?

If you block...

Hydra
Poison vapours
etched in gloom.
Ghastly, void,
vacant, the guardian of
a chained black gate.
Never sleeping;
eyes, as heads,
unnumbered;
waiting for heroes
to seal their fate.
In legends torn
from clay cast bright
we may witness
fire and blades and bows;
such blood-fuelled spite.
Now all too real;
slowly shed,
the skin of time;

You can't Streep poverty under the carpet... - NaPoWriMo Day 9
A silence fell upon the city,
contorted shadows twisting moonlight.
Stuttering in a speakeasy seemed so misplaced
bottles rattled flickering like Fedora feathers
in an unforgiving wind.
The wretched odour of deprivation
a stench that sticks and degrades ones existence.
Even by day this city remains a lifeless sap
and by night the vampires feast on th...

Deep Recession
I was prompted to dig this one out by reading the piece Lyn Dye posted about Bankers...
Now edited a little, which might cover some points raised in comments below :-)
Deep recession brings depressions
Credit crunch too hard to munch
Should the banks take our possessions
When their brains were out to lunch
All their greed and daft lending ways
The blame belongs...

SOME POLITICIANS
Some politicians are like tarts,
No cash or cause refusable;
They'll fuck with anyone - hands on hearts,
No promise inexcusable.
Some politicians are like sluts,
Haggling near a station;
Hear them use those "ifs" and "buts"
To find accommodation.
Some politicians are like jades
Whose looks are going fast;
Making hay ere summer fades,
Its h...
