Colourblind
It was black and white
for a while
Until the first line
was drawn
Then the pale grey people
the people who could only draw
a black cross
in a white box
began to sense
other possibilities
shading the palette
The colours of debate
splashed clumsily
over everything:
the harsh red of anger
the yellow of injustice
screaming crimson

You shouldn’t make it up
Of the man who maintained
That women should refrain
From applying their make-up on a moving train.
I ask where is your brain?
And how dare you complain?
And does your arrogance stem from a taste for cocaine?
You’re archaic forsooth
Sickening #metoo my back tooth
So yeah, you’re about to get burnt by the fire in this booth.
You claim that she’s uncouth

Get out
Get Out
I have to leave the house tomorrow
Fatigue energized by hope-
lessness
Depression fueled by gas-
lighting
Truth obscured by astro-

Men & women of honor being held up
to ridicule
A nation dedicated to human rights saving families from
each other
Deaths of innocents lending grievance for
self-preservation

Blubber boy.
He's fallen to his death on his plastic toy sword.
To number ten from playpen his final reward.
This graceless coup is no coup de grace.
No comedy of euros, a cabinet farce,
an egotistic act from flabby flatulent arse.
He'll be all over telly soon
our fatty blundering hot air buffoon.
Puffing Shakespeare and Latin.
Please down let that twat in.

Condemnation
Condemning the evil that I clearly see
Condemning the evil inside of me
And you, and every politician priest and Jew
No I’m not antisemitic
So stop with that rhetoric
I’m anti elitist anti inequality
anti facilitating systems that suppress autonomy
It’s just a continuation
of the rise and fall of nations
Empires shifting to the west
They leave destruction a...

Creativity
Creativity is a manifestation
Of dealing with life and the sins of creation
We realise corruption and premeditation
We seek to find beauty in all things misshapen
We search for the glimmer of holyistic light
To blur out the badness with beauty through site
Or drown out the devil with music and words
That reflects our supression & feelings to the life we’d have preferre...
