Illiterate

Phil ListerLeave a comment

.

I am a dunce

If you want to call it that

I cannot read or write

Why I have the dunce’s hat

.

I’m different, maybe

If you like

I’ll have to get through it

I’ll have to fight

.

Exams, well I failed

Highest I got was a C

Unfortunately it wasn’t enough

No qualifications for me

.

The day my son noticed

Mum read better than me

The day I revealed

This flaw I had in me

.

You see, I was not stupid, nor lazy

No, it wasn’t the case

But the kids would laugh

It was out of place

.

Dyslexia, disabilities,

Names that we hear

Spelling, grammar, hell

These are words that I fear

.

I may be different

It doesn’t mean I cannot succeed

I am proud to be me

Mark my words, take heed

Run for cover

Phil Lister1 Comment

.

What is that noise?

Choppers on approach

Panic stricken

Take cover like a roach

.

Overhead now,

hovering still

That dirty beast

Contemplating the kill

.

There it goes

That dark heavy mass

See it plummet to the ground

What a blast!

.

It leaves its chaos

As it flies away

Screams, yelling

Where the kids normally play

.

Deafening numbness

Everything so loud

Smell of chlorine

Poisonous cloud

.

People stumbling

Gasping for air

Vomiting violently

People scared

.

I cannot breath

Coughing uncontrollably

Grating at my eyes

Collapsing fatally….

I’m coming to get you

Dont be scared

Intrusion my lust

Please don’t stare

.

Look at you

Don’t worry dear

Satisfy my thirst

Yes please, cheers

.

You’re mine now

Don’t wait anymore

Desire overwhelming

I won’t be a bore

Not for too long

Overwhelming trance

What is this song?

.

You will soon be free

When I decide

Oh my dear,

Happy birthday mate

Phil Lister2 Comments

.

To my friend alan in hospital on his birthday.

It’s 3 am

My birthday

In a hospital bed.

This is where I have resided

For 2 weeks

Lie my head

.

It’s depressing

Just watching the days

Go by

.

The people are nice

Not many British though

Doesn’t worry me

As I’m moved to and fro

.

Inspected, prodded

Like a guinea pig

I just want to recover

I’m sick of being sick

.

I love when people visit

Just to say hello

I can talk for England

Or so the rumors go

.

My friend Phil

All the way in France

I can’t wait to see him

Just another glance

.

I must stay positive

I am a fighter true

It’s my bloody birthday

I know what I got to do

.

These people all care about me

Care how I feel

I need to get better

That is my will

.

I hope you get better mate, always thinking about you

Pet hates

Phil Lister15 Comments

.

Hello to you all
All my friends

I’m going to talk about something
That drives me round the friggin bend

Ha he ha, what will I make you do?
You don’t know yet, haven’t a clue!

I want to talk about, well, our pet hates
What bothers you? What really grates?

You gotta have some good ideas, I trust in you
Tell me what gets your goat, what bothers you

For me it’s people eating, making noise
Ahhhhhhhhhh stop it, your mouth isn’t a toy

Manners cost nothing, they’re god damn free
So please and thank you is a have to be!

Driving up my backside, well that doesn’t pass
I’ll get out my car and kick your bloody ass

Well that’s a few of my pet hates, now over to you
Come on you psycho, what bothers you?

5 senses of dinner

Phil Lister6 Comments

.

Why can’t you hear me?

Is my voice too weak?

I scream and yell out

But I just cannot speak

.

Why can’t you see me?

Is my body too small?

Do I just not matter?

To anyone at all

.

Why can’t you smell me?

I smell really bad

I’ve been here for weeks

I am starting to go mad

.

Why can’t you touch me?

Just to know I’m not alone

What I would give

Just to go back home

.

Why are you tasting me?

What do I taste like?

Free me from this torment

Please, finish my life

The next dictator

Phil Lister2 Comments

Thanks to sherell for this comment:

Wanna be rich

Have it all

Screw the world

Have a ball

Be tempted

By greed true

Suck me in

Glutton do

Sex volantaire

Riches, mountainous

Power great

I don’t make mistakes

Punish me if you dare

Invincible I am

Nothing can stop me

Not even the man

I will destroy you

Into a pulp

Pity your being

My greatness you gulp

Until the next dictator

Will stop me in my tracks

I am the almighty

No going back

Riches or happiness?

Phil Lister7 Comments

.

Money is great

To get through life

Money is great

To get out of strife

.

It can’t buy you everything

Happiness has no price

It can’t buy you everything

In this labyrinth we call life

.

Choices have to be made

Riches or existence?

Choices have to be made

Decide, be resistant

.

We are judged, judging others

In every step we make

We are judged, judging others

We learn by our mistakes

.

We work to live, not live to work

Waiting to retire, enjoy our lives

We work to live, not live to work

Until health problems are at our sides

.

Riches or happiness

What do you choose?

Riches or happiness

Think carefully, do not lose.

Shhhhh

Phil Lister6 Comments

.

I see you

Yes, You

You don’t know it

Moi non plus

.

We are

Meant to be

However unlikely

Bubbling free

.

Many miles

Never cross lanes

Minds collide

Passions thrive

.

Give yourself

Release all

Exhaust ourselves

We fall

.

A penny

For them

Can never reveal

Lips sealed

.

Secret true

Love beautiful

Impossible torment

Forever true
