Everyone is welcome
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
.
My new book “Rhyming poetry to change your day” is now available in paperback

Waiting for payday to come
Fifth of the month
Some breathing space
To change the pace
Thirty days to last
Pity it goes so fast
It’s already gone
The account overdrawn
What will we do?
Go without food?
Stumble on
Ooh what fun
To do it again
Not know when
Things could change?
Wouldn’t that be strange
Come on be real
This banana peel
Used to it by now
My daily scowl
Stress itching me
Bizarre feeling really
Day in day out
Feel like I wanna shout
What good would it do?
I may feel better, true
Ahhhhhhhhhhh that’ll do
That’s my point of view

Why do you do this to me?
Again and again
Why do I have to suffer
I thought you was a friend
.
Mixed messages from dusk till dawn
One way, all the time
Suit yourself you always do
All for you, my point of view

My brain is elsewhere
My body, I don’t know yet
Headaches, migraines
All the time you can bet
I am a robot
No, maybe a zombie
Trance endlessly
Lost as can be
Sometimes at work
I get dizzy, it’s hard
I wait to pass out
And hit the floor hard
Pills, oh often
Each day, everyday
Need it for the teething
My baby’s bad day
One day ends
Next begins
I feel like crap
But it’s me who’ll win

Tired, torn,
exhausted, worn
Tired of norm
Have been warned

I beat you, this time it’s for sure
Your addiction to me is no more
Some people it’s ciggies, drink, gambling too
My addiction was a card game, stuck to it like glue
Line chat with my guild, only one guild I ever liked
The conquerors, and I always enjoyed our fight
For some people video games are lame
Sorry if for you I seem to be insane
Although it was intense, participating in guild wars
It had to end, your daily chores
Login, do this do that, spend energy
Now I’m rid of you, i am happy
I will not come back to you, my hours spent
Goodbye deck heroes, igg, get bent!

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.

Drunken mess, stumbling
Pouring whisky into glass
Passes out. Waster!

Some of us like to be alone
Time to process on your own
Not wanting to be around others
Feeling trapped, feeling smothered
It started when you was young
You never really did like fun
Bullied at school, always picked on
Just wishing that they would be gone
In college, things should of been different
But most of them were just ignorant
Work passes by, not many friends
Nothing much changes, same old trends
Didnt really like clubbing or drinking a lot
Dancing around badly, looking like a twot
Prefer your own company, just better like that
Prefer your solitary confinement, that’s just a fact
