Independence

.

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!

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

.

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

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

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

Christmas madness

Christmas madness in the shops

They’re all crazy, the whole lot

Where did they come from? All of them

I can’t get over it, it started when?

Get out of the way, move your ass

Bemused by this madness, lost any class

Everyone is stressed, in such a rush

It’s only Christmas, why so much fuss

Traffic on the road, people so mad

Impatient, all of them, reacting bad

Festive holidays are here for a while

People are amusingly forcing a smile

Until that final day it will all calm down

And hopefully there will be smiles all around

family · Life · love

Suicidal rage

Pathetic excuse for a father

Pathetic excuse for a lover

Temper frayed from sleepless nights

Rage envelops with a fright

Snaps in a moment, fist through the door

Argument ensues, emotion so raw

Go on hit me, I deserve it, sorry excuse

Losing it like that, what a recluse

My boy there innocent, said nothing wrong

Aggressive dad, what are you doing, it’s wrong

Take him back to his mums, he falls asleep

I am so sorry, so pathetic, I start to weep

A six year’s olds comments, cuts like a knife

It’s shocking how they look at life

I drive off to work, one thing on my mind

End it, now, escape from this bind

Crash the car, crash it good

Wreck myself break it, if only I could

Selfish of me, to walk out on my family

My kids, my girlfriend what life to be

In the biggest mess I ever could be

I’m certainly the lowest ever I’ve been

Christmas makes you feel really down

Certainly this evening I did nothing but frown

I’ve calmed down now from a suicidal rage

All this because of a depressed snap rampage

happy · Life · love

A kind girl

My girlfriend is the most generous person I know
She’d give away her arms if she didn’t need them

In a way I look up to her for how she is with others

And even sometimes it’s crazy how she drives me round the bend

.

A women in the street

Sat there, bashed her knee

She checks how she is

And gives directions for the pharmacy

.

A homeless man in London

December was very cold

She gives him a voucher for a hot drink

He was not very old.

.

A guy in the street, dog and cardboard

Asking for a nice smile or a fag

She talked to him, her kindness true

Gave him a ciggie that he could take a drag

.

She is often selfless

Gives all she can

My thoughtful girlfriend

Never goes with the plan

.

A new day to do a good deed

I would never change her

Not for the world

Cause she’s the best, a little pearl
