Socially Perfect
I love my perfect life
With my perfect kids and my perfect wife
And all those perfect times we’ve had
Being the perfect mum and perfect dad
And our perfect home where perfect friends
Adapt perfectly to every trend
Or those perfect days spent at the beach
Who says perfection’s out of reach?
We have perfect times when we go out
With perfect people round about
As our perfect laughter fi...

Rat's Race
In the darkness of night, I'm a king with no crown,
A knight with no sword, no way of cutting life down.
The words they create, cut like knives to the soul
Media fed by derision to fill up your bowl
Spread lies and more hatred on sharpened tongues
To drive home divisions, where no one belongs.
We live by their rules, and follow like sheep,
Heed the words of the wise, before your long slee...

If Dogs Were Made World Leaders
If dogs were made world leaders
There would be no futile wars
And laws and treaties would be signed
With inky prints of paws
Chihuahuas and Alsatians
Would respect each other’s space
There’d be no United Nations
Just a favourite sniffing place
Summit sessions would be held
In playing fields or parks
With flashing collars de rigeur
For meetings after dar...

They come from far
Blind, I grown blind.
No color, no light.
Pain, I felt pain.
No matter, no gain.
Looking through the mirror glass,
things happen afar.
Taking notion of them,
as they were part.
There's no true,
there's no lie,
everything stays shy.
Scream, scream for those who can't.
Deaf, I am deaf.
No sound, no play.
Help, they need help.

Bride and gloom
How could she go
cause her daddy wasn’t far away
unless she really wants
to kiss to this sad song
the difference is we both wake up
to the cadence of a different love
then I am made like the villain
I only want a peaceful morning
do you remember when
I saw you fucking him again
don’t you forget
to say you’re sorry
the bloom is off the rose
let’s fin...

One up
One up
He’s the guy
Bloviating
verbal diarrhea
proud
confident
cocky
He’s the guy
tall
rich
in charge
all the answers
all the solutions
no substance
just words
He’s the guy
funky hairdo
hitler gestures
outrageous claims
empty suit
self funded
He’s the guy
the spot in your undies
the hole in your sock

Change
Change
What a night
changed my whole perspective
tiny square piece of paper
dissolves on my tongue
hours of deep thought
time filled with colors and laughter
the world is big
mean
unforgiving
I’m just a kid
someday I’ll have to wear a suit like my pop
pay the tax man
vote
stand the picket line
I just wanna get laid
drink beer

The Academy
The Academy
Stand at attention
sir yes sir
you are worthless
run till you puke
you aren’t even human
wool uniforms in the dog days of summer
we are gonna make men out of you
crying is for the weak
pain is fear leaving the body
spit shined shoes and foot lockers
made beds and floors you can eat off of
your mama can’t save you
you're a plebe

The Valley
The valley
Streets filled with purpose
The Silicon valley is alive and well
Suitcases and Range Rovers
Palm tress sweep the sky
motorists hurry to plug in
horns honked with kindness
coffee filled with sugar and whipped cream
more a milkshake than a jumpstart
two hour snack pow wow
heated ping pong power lunch
making apps to scratch your back
and pic...

Lip service
Lip Service
It’s hard being alone
at least for me
I see folks kissing with promise
smiling with dignity
gazing
love drunk
smitten
cupids arrow is dull
for the most part
it’s not real
maybe your elders have stuck it out
your folks are worn and torn
a scar
treated with cheap topical cream
lip service
secrets
the fear of embarrassm...

Life by the beach
students on fire
chicks with tattoos
streets filled with hope and crank
the guy from Hawaii is the coolest
away from mom and dad
high school was so yesterday
party at the Bob Marley house

beer belly and whiskey dick
fake tits and nipple rings
warm beer and cold pizza

Sleepy
Sleepy
It’s late
actually it’s early
weird
brain never stops
mix between good thoughts and bad
this should be over since the end
of my drinking life
my marriage
my dogs life
is this one of those nights I’ve been waiting for?
what to do…???
my best pal comes to town tomorrow
happy about that
maybe this shouldn’t be over
maybe this is just the beg...

By the Bay
Pulling Wire
I worked a summer in San Fransisco
Sacramento street
pulling wire
they all stared at us
whispering
judging
aliens in their sterile tube
sorry my ladder is an in convenience
I could see their computers
money traveling through space
mixed with twitter and “The Bachelor” clips
cubes with confetti and pictures of Hawaii
photos of baby Bro...

When we speak
When we speak
Why you gotta look that way?
why you gotta spit on the stage?
you see we are young wolves
and we’re hungry for the last guy outside
come see us when we’re walking
they don’t know our kind of night
Sick and wear our hearts outside
on our sleeves
and we just can’t take no more
Yet the skies say we should come back home
I remember in disguise...

She hurts
still
I tell myself to let her go
Is it her I miss?
just the idea?
just the company?
actually i miss them all
they all still hurt
soft skin
sweet thoughts
kindness to strangers
weaker creatures
makes a man comfy
just for a little while
then they hurt
they tear my gut space
suddenly I’m the Sunday funnies
and they lose weigh...

Maybe Two
Maybe two
I’ll admit
I create stress for myself
even on vacation
I’m working on it
“simmer down” they say
Am i that bad?
even the pope takes an angry shit right?
everyone has to worry about something
nothing but truth,
I’m not comfy unless I worry
I envy those who walk without baggage
how do they do it?
I can make it a day
maybe two

Folks just need to know

Why the confusion?

Bleach and Cork
Darts, endless darts
a passion I never desired
guitar and words don’t heal the soul
no such luck for darts
I saw a blonde haired woman in a van today
I needed cigarettes and human contact
Thanks to her for making my drive
I suspect she will stay in my mind all day
What if she had car trouble and broken dreams?
More importantly: who...

The Bench
The Bench
I sat on a bench for an hour
ugly dogs and sad people
grey men with bad backs
carrying shit and ancient thoughts
I wonder about a blonde lady
was she the one who gave blowjobs and never made you call her
I wonder how long he will take to realize he’s gay
or hates his father
or both
how much of that college degree do you really use?
do you feel pre...

The School Run
Swinging upwards,
scathingly steering myself towards salvation.
School Run: teacher testimonials and tallies.
An “Other,”
an outcast from tradition.
Rousing the reluctant offspring,
combative to my requests.
We breakfast briefly,
on little balls of sugary synthetic yellowness
We arrive at school,
greet the countless glamorous goddesses
oozing out of the orifices

Headlong
Headlong
I hear them,
I hear them calling out in the street
Issuing calls of despair and asking for help
And I would,
If I could,
If I had the power of legions
And armies and,
No, that just wouldn’t do
Any good at all,
Not anymore where
We are - fearing the worst
For a world where war,
Has become the only winner?
You ...

On Being Judged
On Being Judged
A hundred cries of delight
Echo from red brick walls
As they tussle for a football,
And the girls are skipping in time
To melodies and singing rhymes,
Watched keenly by the dinner ladies
And playground monitors;
Just how will life blossom,
What scenes will introduce
Their hearts to the world outside?
They’r...

Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence
The problem of domestic violence in UK households is a contentious issue. Everyone seems keen to point fingers and lay blame on one another without really addressing the issue. It has been prevalent in UK society for centuries, and is unlikely to go away overnight. Women, have for centuries been placed under the dominance of males, and only during the ear...

Fathers 4 Justice
This short, has ben re-edited. Please do not read, if offended by the Author in any way. Above all, it is only one persons opinion on the backside of a one sided system, forgive him if you do not agree, it is in the main a response to the injustive of not being given the rights of a Father. It is okay for me to go to war it would seem, but when you come back a casualty nobody wants to know.

Welcome back
The Prague spring is a well known thing, but its summer burns intensely and all is overheated.
The last time I was here was long ago, and I think it was October, I’m sure it was October.
I have no elaborate plan, but the plan is elaborate enough: I really need a holiday, really need to chill
and relax and drink coffee and go to the gym, but also wild adventures with the characters I...

Yes we have faults,
And I as a guy didn’t need the
Criminal record you gave after war,
So how do we now effect change?
How do we stop what is happening
Around this desperate - a Globe?

Both have to work – placing

The British Have Soured
Have you lost touch old bean?
Or pondering the security to place law
Upon law to reaffirm laws –
Till blue in the face ‘we’ cannot breathe;
You wrap up a world that is done!
UK angered is laughing stock now –
With microphones in lampposts and
Eavesdropping to...

Can you, be bought?
Have you, been bought?
Economics dictate there is no money in the pot,
But are you, being bought?
All the country’s pride is at stake,
Has it, been bought?

Entertained the Gun,
Never penalized so badly
The man who claimed a run for freedoms,

Lost Effort
Lost Effort
1.
So many sad and plentiful of nothing
That matters,
Sad and plentiful, as if stuffing
Children like the rotting carcass of dead animals
Appeases all their needs,
Too many sad and plentiful
Without knowing the teaching of greed,
Too many lied to in concrete,
Denied every right to be free.

I Forgive, But Something..............Else, Doesn't! May It Never Find You (I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy).
2 Mortimer Avenue – Higher Blakely! Man if ghosts exist then you may find a few there, one perhaps being the originator of this rambling text. It was probably the first time I died; thrown on the floor for crying at my chicken pox that were irritated by urine contained in my rubber pants. I used to wet the bed back then with all the abuse I was going through, not so you would notice of course,...

Killing Down the Planetarium
Killing Down the Planetarium
1.
Did you really think it was just;
About one’s sexual leanings?
Perhaps maybe a spat with ancient authority –
Maybe a calling for my father to
Raise his solemn head and
Gaze with morbid wonder at the dead
That walk The Earth?
Did you think a mere entertainer from
A demon or a saviour,
Did y...

There is a Sun Up There!
There is a sun up there! It has been shining today and over the past weekend. I am pleased to see it, as for the past three years there has been little rays of light over the Northern parts of the UK. There is a moon up there too as I write these words, it is at the moment at the halfway point of its...
