I saw
I saw
The flare of the gun
Against the setting sun
My baby's smiling face
I kept within a lonely space
My wife's hand in mine
For one final time
I saw
The blood from my chest
Sending my body to rest
The future I thought would be
Drift away to a blood red sea
The hands of Time slowly cease
Feeling a weary inner peace
I saw

The Closing Of The Red Sea
I saw the blood run down the walls
Within the children's tears
I heard the parliamentary halls
Resound with warring cheers
I felt the shock of bomb & gun
Within gasps of anticipation
I saw their prey run & run
From nation killing nation
I drew my scythe & licked my lips
A hefty load to swallow
I told the ferryman, he needed ships
For, they will b...

A Genesis?
The world keeps shouting
whilst, the quiet
sit in despair, witnessing
the mould & rot spread
Trying not to Inhale
greedy spores that rot hope
Exhaling a desperate, empty foreboding
‘Times they are a-changin’’
Echoes from an old radio somewhere
A white flag drifts past, stained red
We rub our eyes
But, there's fire in the sky
And death all around.

Tears In The Rain
Savour this warmth
Within me you see
For, what shall return
May no longer be me
That which these eyes
Have still yet to see
May make a small shell
Of all I could be
Though, I fear I may not
Come back at all
Lying still and alone
Wherever I fall
Show my daughter a photo
When her world feels small
The one where we're laughing
At nothing ...

Reluctant Soldier
The sky looked weary
Pale and colourless
As were we
I laid down my rifle
and thought of what I'd told her
I'd left it in the hollow of her mind
In the place where dreams ascend
So, when the day came
they could carry
all that grief & sorrow away
and feed it to the clouds
for when they felt like crying
And on that day
Laden with the burden of
a thousand...

Knock, Knock!
Knock, knock
Can you hear me?
Please let me in
I'll save you from God
And convert you to sin
I won't abandon
Or show you no care
I'll give you free horns
So you know that I'm there!
I'll speak in wry tongues
Only you understand
And tattoo your soul
With my 666 brand!
I'll make you new shoes
(On the hoof, as it were)
You'll be able to trot
Through my pit of de...

My Little Girl
#withUkraine
Sssh, it's just the thunder
My little girl
Pack a bag
Don't feel sad
I know Daddy has to stay
But he's keeping
The big bad wolves at bay
Don't cry, don't cry!
We'll say goodbye
He'll come back soon
And bring the moon
And we'll eat it
With a big, fat spoon!
That's more like it!
Giggles & smiles
Daddy can see them
From miles &...

What is it I see?
Father,
what is it I see?
In this place down below
Where rich tides of life
ebb, and then flow
Where beauty & horror
Rub shoulders like friends
And the dominant species
Both destroy, and defend
What is it I see?
When the colours of dawn
Turn, too soon, to darkness
In a gathering storm
Not made from the seasons
But the breath of i...
