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?

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.

            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

          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?

 

Once ago, The Police never

Entertained the Gun,

Never penalized so badly

The man who claimed a run for freedoms,

Time ago, Bev...

Lost Effort

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,

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...
