The Black Sea

Green

Green

Green

As far as the eye can see

Like,

Green

Green clouds

Hugging the earth

And me

 

Sea

Sea

Sea

Rugged dangerous

Enveloping me

 

The People

The People

The People

Safe and secure in their own skin

Unique in pleasure

Happiness overflowing into me  

 

Green Green

Sea Sea

The People The People

And me

A Child in Gaza

Dreaming of leaving

       This rock above my

             Head

 

Dreaming of leaving

The thought you are dead

 

Dreaming of leaving

 

Going back to when I

played here, running up

the path mama mama

kissing your sweet forehead

 

now motionless and

       cold

 

Dreaming of leaving

 

                                 Not wishing to go

GazaIsrael. Gaza

And so it goes on…

And so it goes

On

People protest

Against dead bodies

“They’re all terrorists

each and every one”

He says, they say

 

And so it goes on

 

The people are lost

Picking through rubble

Discovering their loved ones

Dead clothes

 

 

But the truth is being hidden

Sanitised by the news

The killing is not so awful

They plead

 

And so...

Everyone’s a C*NT

 

Everyone’s  a  C*NT

I see the teenagers

Throwing things on the floor

A protest

Leads to the finger

 

Everyone’s a CU*T

 

The internet is down

They said they’d send someone round

Nobody came…

 

Everyone’s a *UNT

 

They’re blaring out music

On a crowded bus

Chatting to friends

Until ears start to bleed

 

 

Everyone’s a CUN*

A Little Bird

Same time every day

It lasted for hours and hours

But still…

She  does not come.

 

I shouted out to the little bird

“Why not perch on another tree?”

 

“I was calling out to you…”

the little bird replied,

“To keep that smile on your face.”

Election

As poor as I am

I can still see the lies

Dripping down from posters

Larger than life

Each party vying for my eye line

Sides of the same dice

 

Hope, Fear

Progress,  Strength

Hate, Together

 

Each rolling towards me

Saying anything I like …

 

A tannoy blurts out

Some nonsensical nonsense

flags are waving in the air

and the dumb have becom...
