Whatever may be your ordeal,
Try to speak just what you feel.
So have courage and do not be weak,
And together with one voice we'll speak.

We shall speak about the effects of violence,
Which should not be muffled with awful silence.
Now leave those shadows and all that mist,
And take it on with an iron fist.

We must do it right now and without fail,
So that justice will always prevail...

Christmas music - it's now time to hear,
As we all celebrate this time of year.
It makes us happy and merry and jolly,
As it's time to be silly and full of folly.

It takes us into the festive mood,
Before all the parties and the food.
We delight in the wonderful atmosphere,
For it shows that Christmas is finally here.

Some songs are slow while some are fast,
It's just so great that we...

I believe that reading is good for the mind 

And perhaps it's the best way for us to unwind.

So make that decision to go get a book 

Then open it up and have a good look. 

There's so much to know and much to discover 

So try reading it all from cover to cover 

And whether it's fact or whether it's fiction

You may now find you have a new addiction. 

Try doing this ...

British weather does constantly change,
And from hot to cold can surely range.
It can bring us joy or dampen spirits,
But we are all now familiar with it. 

We might love to see the golden Sun,
Which we like call the Buttered Bun.
And there could be clouds floating high,
While behind we see a great blue sky.

But then the Sun could disappear,
Which could make us feel sad or drear.
And ...

If you find the world's against you,  

And you come to a dead end,

Don't care about what others think, 

Just be your own best friend. 

If they should criticise you

Do not take it to heart.

And if they push you off your path of life

Just make a new fresh start.

If they undermine your confidence 

Or cause you to lament,  

Or try to make you feel inferior

Know thoughts and feelings come in waves,

Though this may depend upon how one behaves.

So if we feel bad know this shall change,

Though at this time it may seem strange.

So if you live in a pit of misery,

Know you shall find a way out and be free.

And you shall once again breath the air

Of a world that we should love and share. 

So break out from your troubled min...

In this life are we just actors
And is our world merely a stage?
Can we decide upon our own roles?
Or are we forced inside a cage?

In our lives do we play many parts
As stated by our Bard?
Should we show who we really are
Or put on a facade?

Is each day just a little story?
Where there exist many plots
And do we endure our curses
Like the Lady of Shalott?

So should we sail down t...

I believe all my poems to be refined,
And to have an impact upon our mind.
And although they're deep and thoroughly planned,
Each one is quite easy to understand.

They may be about people or about things,
And aimed towards beggars right up to kings.
And they show us how to appreciate life,
And hold happiness whilst dealing with strife.

They may be about thoughts or our emotions.
And t...

Many people might not understand
That others need to have a helping hand.
They are not lazy and they are not shirking.
They are in fact sick and so not working.

For many people life is a breeze,
And anything done is done with ease.
Then from one day and to another,
Life's simple for you and for each other.

But on benefits some do rely,
And without them they will not get by.
And many ...

Have we got a moral obligation 
To help the poor and needy?
And ask ourselves is it right 
That so many of us are greedy?

So is it just a selfish game
To see how much we can consume?
We watch it grow until at last 
We find there is no more room.

And if there is one thing in this world 
That does not seem quite fair, 
While some people just sail on
Others live in great and huge despa...

Technology is so complex.
It can make us mad and quite perplexed.
It can make us feel almost demented,
And we may wish that it was not invented.

Then our lives would be less complicated,
But should we be thankful that it was created?
And would we be better if we did forget
How we were to use the internet?

And would we be feeling more alone
If we lived our lives without our phone?
And...

The silver fox will I become
Now that I am no longer young?
And so my hair must soon change,
While I hope that it shall not look strange.

It happens to us as we do get old,
As if by magic we become controlled.
I hope that I may still look smart
When those relentless changes start.

So to my brown hair I'll say goodbye,
But I'll not weep and I'll not cry.
And as I can't turn back those...

If you find the world's against you,
And you feel all hope is lost,
And that there's no point in trying,
And know there's many lines you've crossed.

If your paths are all downhill,
And your passion has lost its spark,
And you find your tunnel is endless,
And your lights have become dark.

If you perceive that you've no future,
And your beliefs have been destroyed,
And your life's full...

There is a wonderful film called Schindler's List.
It is so very special and must not be missed.
It centres round a man called Oskar Schindler,
Who begins as quite greedy and a bit of a swindler.

But while Amon Goth is quite deranged
Schindler is a man who goes through a change.
And while terror prevails to the point of insanity,
Schindler is a man who shows some humanity.

And with his...

I always love to feel content -
For it's a state of mind that's heaven sent.
I feel so calm and quite at peace,
And all my troubles now have come to cease.

I'm free of hardship and of every worry.
I'm now in the moment - not in a hurry.
And as contentment is a sweet sensation,
I shall give the world a huge ovation.

And I believe this feeling shall last all time.
Now tranquillity rests...

Mental health today is a complex matter.
Where stigma judges all to be mad as a hatter.
But there's no shame. There's no disgrace.
It's something of which we'll have to face.

So don't be afraid and feel no guilt.
And with help our lives can be rebuilt.
So of mental health we must now speak.
It doesn't mean we're strange or weak.

So do not run or try to hide,
But find someone in which ...

Not so long ago all life was bleak
For those who were considered freaks.
Were they too big or were they too small?
Were they too short or were they too tall?

People would just stop and stare,
And then journey on without a care.
Their treatment was quite harsh and cruel,
And they were made to feel just like a fool.

But this is no longer how they are fated,
Our differences are now celeb...

In my new home I am now content.
For there's nothing about it to lament.
It is great with others or when I'm alone.
And there is lovely room to call my own.

I adore each room - yes, every one,
Especially when we feel that shining Sun.
And those big soft chairs are so relaxing,
And into them we do enjoy collapsing.

Being in the garden is a delight.
Outside we view a pleasant site.

I find it awkward buying shoes,
For I never know which ones to choose.
Are they too loose or are they too tight?
Are they comfortable and are they just right?

First, I must try them in the shop,
But my confidence will soon stop.
For after I try on many a pair,
I look all around filled with despair.

And I like to buy ones which look smart
Before I get ready the money from which I'll pa...

I dread taking items back to the shops,
And when I have to do this my confidence drops.
It causes me angst and  also much stress.
It then makes me embarrassed and also distressed.

It makes me want to hide and want to retreat,
Though it may be my right and I have the receipt.
I get so nervous that it gets out of hand,
Though why this is the case I do not understand.

However there's some...

Should we live a hedonistic life,
And so do whatever gives us pleasure?
And have we enough cash in our banks
To live a life of leisure?

Should we give into temptation,
And thereby satisfy our cravings?
Should we buy ourselves lots of luxuries
By digging deep into our savings?

So what gives us satisfaction?
What is it that we want or need?
And if it comes not from things and money
Wh...

I do not know what others think,
As I can't read people's minds,
It's a quality I don't possess,
And it's not how I'm designed.

So I will not know if you won't say
Whether you are joyful or distressed.
Though from the expression on your face
I could try to make a guess.

So now let me know your problems,
Or I shall not understand,
Perhaps why you are disappointed
About what you first...

After all the hardships that I’ve been through

And the distress that I’ve encountered,

And the miseries that I have suffered,

And the pains that have surmounted.

After all the hurdles I’ve jumped over,

And the walls that I have climbed,

After all my disappointments,

And those dreadful troubled times.

After all the dreams that have not come true, 

And all those ...
