Politics (Remove filter)
the punch that never was
Laura’s snaffled an exclusive
freshly minted by the Tories
a left-wing thug has punched a bloke!
she tweets, ignores the story
about the PM and the photograph
the crisis in our NHS
kids on drips curled up on floors
the current government’s heartlessness
you see, a stolen phone is nothing
when you’ve a brand-new lie to share
about the punch that never happened
by a mob that wasn’t there

Polarity
The long redacted sound of reason crackled
Static-pronged consensus of a bygone concept
Against a typified gestalt of incandescent insanity
The layer-laden deceptive dynamic caught wind
Ushering and redoubling its efforts
Polarising all subject to it
Two turns played, a fool's mate prepared
The clocks, still nascent, are brought to a stop
Complexities and nuance are o...

Opinions
Opinions
Our opinions, they are always changing,
And may be neither right nor wrong,
And what one someone says is weak today,
Next they could say that it is strong.
Opinions are not definitive,
And are not set in stone.
What one may think is wonderful,
Another may think of it and groan.
Opinions govern all our lives,
For they decide for whom we vote.
And when it comes to elec...

Contusion Blues
Have I caught a cold?
I can feel it in my bones
this hollow sense that I can’t shake
when I gauge the current state
Newspaper, newspaper
you’re not paper anymore
and it’s not news
just the inevitable unfolding
an unstoppable rolling
towards flag waving
a dismantling, dividing
dis-united kingdom
This news, this news
gives me contusion blues…
Politics is broken, democracy’s a jok...

Fishing in troubled water
In the political arena
Playacting one's
Ethnic group's vanguard
Head to toe they
Indulge in corruption grand
Spawning many of
Their brand
Eager to seize
Every advantage off hand.

Blue On Blue Contact
Blue On Blue Contact
This blue on blue contact
is really rather fun.
Amber shoots at Boris
with her metaphoric gun,
Michael snipes at Dominic,
Andrea shoots from the hip
And Jacob assaults everyone
with his stiff upper lip.
This blue on blue contact
puts them under friendly fire -
the egotist, the pessimist
the naysayer and liar.
They all have an op...

blablabla Teresa may
politics
a clever government scam
grabs everyone's attention
just a distraction
all words and no action
sorry that was too polite
the word to describe
lies
I can't bare
to sit and stare
at a tv and listen to the rubbish they say
bla bla bla Teresa may
brexit what the hell is brexit
what's all the fuss
"coz it's affecting us"
yes you are right it...

Come Down from the Clouds
Come down from among the Clouds
Come down from among the clouds and seat yourselves.
I will set plates for y'all. There will be no wooden flatware,
no metal cups, certainly no raggedy napkins. The ceramic
made in China, flatware in the USA, tempered glass in
Argentina, and napkins cut and sewn by a little old colored
lady in Little Rock, Arkansas, while her great granddaughter
