It was running round the House of Commons

With no mask

Handing out PPE contracts to their mates

For a laugh

As the population was falling into graves

They gave out party invites

Drunk on festive cheer.

Tears streaming down the cheeks of relatives

Who couldn’t see them go

                                        Ho Ho Ho

The lies multiplied, given a boost

Everything is new here
And I know my father
Would know what to do
A history of bitter words
But he would get me through

A guide, through
These strange streets and lands
Having my back
Though he could
never say I love you
to my face

“Everything is new here”
“I know”
“I don’t know what to do? ”

You see dad… oh and
this is so difficult…
I’m here with you son.

What stays with you forever
Will never live a day

The footsteps treaded over and over
The kiss that gave you away

The backlog of memories
That will never come out to play

Just banging and crashing on the ice rink
Making fools of us all

He never thought he’d be killed

By words

That freely come to your mind

Took for granted

That his thoughts could run free,

Across the city

Climb up mountains

And settle on the land

Then one night…

He was dragged out of his bed

And shot in the head

Because the stench of death

Has run riot in the streets

The Taliban snuffing out

Anyone...

I now have time

To see all those

Little David’s

Lost on the streets

Of Liverpool, Germany

And many stations in-between

Lamenting a love gone wrong

Crying to himself

Too broken hearted

To pick up the phone

Hours upon days and years

Out of sorts

A rattle bag of fears

An assortment of misery

Freshly picked from the store

But now I have ...

Under the sun I was a good boy

I never did wrong.

The trees were very giving

As I climbed

The highest branch

Under the sun , I was a good boy

Who never did wrong

The light would stay

Till I was too tired

To kick a ball

But at home, I was bad  boy

Who always did wrong.

The dark spelt

Foreboding

Trembling

Till...

I can

Still feel the

Freezing cold

Air on my cheeks

An air long since gone

Like the people I used

To greet on the streets.

And you so small

I could fit you on the

Back of my bike

Sitting under the slide

So the cold rain wouldn’t bite.

I can still feel the freezing cold air...

And I worn out by life’s daily chores

Pulling the sledge to school carrying

“I won’t wear a mask.

I’ll do what I f’in want to do.”

But he just kept walking

Round and round

Doing more than this government ever could do

“I’ll see who I want

When I want.”

But in the years when he should be

Just letting go

He gave it all to us

A hospital he will never see

A cancer patient walking out pain free

A child’s broken limb, now ...

I am stuck in every moment I have lived or

Not lived enough

Each drags me back

To sort out what I

Forgot

To settle the score

Paper over the cracks

I am stuck,

In every moment

I failed

To live

I was,

But

Just not enough

On a particularly down day

I saw this little fella

        Pushing through

Cold all around

With little beauty by its side

On a particularly down day I saw this

And thought…

My little fella

Can pull through
