Independence

Phil ListerLeave a comment

.

Independence, we all want it

Not for some not one bit

What a mess that we are all in

Politics to decide who will win

At the end of the day it’s money that counts

Keep or kick is how the countries bounce

Brexit they want out and have to pay through the nose

That is politics and the way that it goes

Catalan want out, Spain reject all

Maybe without them the economy would fall

Then all falls to war, crazy civil mess

All in the name of independence no less!

They lie!

Phil Lister3 Comments

They lie to us

To our face

We listen

We give them space

.

They control us

Tell us everything 

We want 

Thus

.

We follow

Like sheep

Ready for slaughter

Without even a peep

.

Didn’t mother say

Never trust a stranger and

Callous lies lead to

Sinking in quick sand

.

Do we trust them?

Do we follow them?

Have we got a choice?

Does it ever end?

……

You tell me?

To be harassed #metoo

Phil Lister1 Comment

You know what you need to do

If you want to succeed

Succumb to me

And my sexual greed

I will make you famous

Do what I ask

Fulfill my pleasures

That is your task

Look at you

So innocent and young

Just a little massage

Let’s have some fun

The world is such a disgusting place

That I will abuse

My place of money and power 

Until you will accuse

That is years down the line

I have all the time I need

You are nothing for the moment

I will make you bleed

In jail

Phil Lister2 Comments

In jail

Rotting soul

Sinned society

Achieved your goal

Years go by

Serving time 

Have you regrets?

For your crime?

What did you do?

Are you proud?

Do you crave it?

To shout it aloud

Did you hurt someone?

Someone you love?

Are you missed?

Now that you’re judged

Ghost town

Phil Lister3 Comments

Ghost town

Where are they?

Are the kids

Coming out to play?

All built up

Deserted now

All that’s left

Is to bring the plough

Politics gone mad

Shops, businesses gone

Wealth dried up

Everything is wrong

Donald trump I don’t like you!

Phil ListerLeave a comment

See this poem read on YouTube, this was written  before the election

I decided to write this as it doesn’t seem to matter what he does he is still seen as a potential leader. Well here it goes, a poem on Mr Trump.

 

Mr Trump look at you with that strange set of hair sitting on top of you.

You abuse and insult others that do not agree with you

What gives you the right, you have none at all!

 

You call women names and disgusting animals

My god Mr Trump you have got some balls

 

Public speaking, wow you excel, tweeting your messages giving em all hell

Always trying to make a headline, trying to steal the show. Let’s watch Mr Trump, look at him go!

 

You can be sexist and see blood coming out of wherever?

Do you ever listen to yourself? I imagine never!

 

Or you just choose to be heard and not to listen to yourself

That would be crazy i guess. Deafened by your wealth!

 

Why are you so rich, why do you merit that

You won’t even release your tax returns and that is a fact!

 

You campaign for America, “Make America Great Again”

You want to build a Mexican wall, are you insane?

 

And really, a ban on Muslims, do you hear yourself?

“The constitutions first amendment”, No, read it yourself!

 

How can you be the front runner, how can it be real

The Republicans continue to support you, crazy i feel

 

You tell it as it is, is that true

Take a look at yourself Mr Trump, really, at you!

It’s coming

Phil Lister1 Comment

Madness, two leaders doing deranged things

We don’t yet know what it’s going to bring

A country that feels they have to protect themselves

By testing missiles and whatever else

The world is in outrage at their outrageous acts

They refuse to change, they continue in fact

Not even a president of the United states

Who speaks like a dictator and raises the stakes

Kim calls trump mentally deranged

Sorry guys, what you are doing, your both insane!

Madman! rocketman! Let the insults fly

Like the US jets doing their fly by

Now trump is a dotard, according to Kim

Old, mental capacity ready for the bin

Trump fires losers that don’t get results

Kim just shoots them, doesn’t accept insults

Where are we going, what is next for the world

World war three perhaps, only time will tell.

Positive thinking

Phil Lister17 Comments

.

Are you feeling down, world against you?

Pickled in turmoil in boggy stew

Life throws us curved balls, cogs in wheels

Hide if you will or dare to dig in your heels

What doesn’t kill you can only make you stronger

Use your mind, be creative, think a little bit longer

I may not be the best, you may be better than me

Hey hum, that’s life, your free to be free

Stuck in your job, no way to get out

Yes you can, they can do without

I am just a human in this immense universe

If you don’t fulfill your potential it’s even worse

You are great, you can lead

Others will listen and take heed

Change the world in a day may not be possible

But with positive thinking you are free and able.

My missus, the wife

Phil Lister4 Comments

I’m in my old caravan, 

And I ain’t got a plan

My wife has just left me

She’s really takin the pee

Cause she’s a selfish bitch

Some people call her a witch

But certainly not me

I’m just happy to be free

She left me for that guy

I can’t even think why

Twenty years my younger

Could of been the plumber

It’s better than staying together

And not knowing whatever

Could of happened to us

No need to make a fuss

She’s outta my life

My missus, the wife.
