After holding the country
In a straight jacket
Of lies, deceit and
Despicable behavior
The Lunatic has left
The asylum
After…
Trashing the country
Smashing up democracy
Popping corks when people died
The Lunatic has left
The asylum
But the rats will enter again , from the side door

You Will Pay for This
On “Victory Day” Knee deep in blood
The arms and limbs of the dead
Climb up you
In day and night terrors.
Murdered by you
Mothers
Fathers
Lovers
Sisters
brothers
children
&
Babies
All silenced by you
Your final solution…
Like the Jews in the ghetto.
All must go
But on your death bed
“Your god” whispers

In the Silence
The cars outside my window
Rumble to and from places
Without a care in the world
The children scream out Mehmet’s name
To come out to play
And when he does
Their little faces light up
In Mariupol there is just silence
A bird sarcastically chirps
A dog sniffs round
But there is nothing to eat
The rumble of tanks has gone
The screams have ...

Mourning…
I wake up to coffee
My failing eye sight
Classical music gently calming down
The beats of the coming day
My cat encircles me
Wanting food
And then with trepidation
I turn on the news
They are waking up to
An underground shelter
Darkness all around them
Hearing in the distance
The slow thunder of tanks
And the loss of thei...

The Sirens Ringing Out
The sirens are ringing out
Did I wake up to 1939?
Bits of paper waved in the air
As a bomb rips through a house
“we’ll hit them in their bank accounts”
But no statement can save a child’s life
The sirens ringing out
Wailing across a Kyiv square
A mother in Donetsk a sister in Odesa
A cold chill running down her spine
“It’s hopeless”

The slow tissue paper of lies
Inflation is going down
Though you know it’s rising sky high
He gets to the dispatch box
And says 2+2 are 5
“No, it’s 6” scream the backbenchers
“It’s 7” “No it’s 9”
The thin burning tissue paper
Of lies
Corruption is a badge of honour
The truth is a lie
Just sit back and watch
The country burning from the inside
The thick corrosive wound fes...

For Once…
For once I didn’t open my eyes
And flick on the screen
Scan the news, designed to make me scream.
Posts and pictures of people “seizing the day”
Each not so subtly saying
“Look at me look at me”
Instead…
I poured coffee
With my first cigarette in hand
And looked at something ...
