If today I said something
That yesterday I would not dare
Would I be respected
Would they even care
To have the courage
To be honest for once
If not to the other person
To myself, the important one
Tag: hope
Thirst of greed
We were once free
But now they are coming
Feet pounding the ground
Buildings shelled
Aircraft deafening
The sky has changed
A rancid black
Where has the hope gone?
What has happened to our destiny?
We have to help ourselves
As no-one else will
If you are able,
FIGHT
As freedom has evaporated
This will become our lives
Our norm
We will have to accept
Freedom will always win
But many lives will pay the cost
And the sea of red
Will be the consequence
Of a thirst of greed
Of dominance
Say a prayer
Love has lost
As we yearn for love
In every thought
We await perfection
To a point distraught
As we wait and wait
Time goes by
We lie to ourselves
And time does fly
Age encroaching
That ticking clock
Love evading
Until it stops
Will it be found
If we look too much
Life has passed
Love has lost

The curse of the baby
When you first come into this world
The nurse inspects you and gives you a twirl
You are then taken home and placed to nest
You are left to slumber and of course to rest
From that moment there is a change
You start to cry and make your parents deranged
Through all the noise and the screaming
Your parents would rather be dreaming
For this disruption causes stress
Their sweet child is no longer a bless
And for a reason unknown to you
Your parents split and are no longer two
Was it your fault? Is it true?
Was it actually because of you?
Life, why?
Fate is such a funny thing
You seem to be made to pay for your sins
It was that I can’t understand
Men in power with their woeful plans
What does it achieve? What does it gain?
Apart from torture, torment and pain
Back to my life as you can see
I have pain and torment inside of me
When will I realize that I am a pawn?
I am just a playing piece waiting to be worn
I realize now that fate is a funny thing
It thrives on controlling everything
It teaches us lessons, it gives us hope
Sorry I lie; it gives us false hope
Who asked for diseases? I can’t understand?
It’s the man in power again, with his woeful plan
This is life, c’est la vie
If you don’t like it just try to flee
There’s one way out, as the lights go dim
You have now paid for all of your sins!
New project 2021 – Chapter 2 part 1
Frank angry from the night’s events got into the black Mercedes. Rose opening the passenger door and closing behind her.
“Well that went well didn’t it” she said. “Don’t lecture me” Frank snapped. Angrily starting the car. The car screeched away leaving tyre tracks.
Paul had been walking for a while now uttering to himself with discontent for his dad. He was soaked through from the constant rain.
“Probably gonna catch a cold now because of that idiot, Why did he have to act like that? Showing me up in front of everyone!”
“I’m gonna get home, I’m gonna get my stuff and I’m gonna leave” he shouted to the sky.

If I dare to dream
If I dare to dream
Will i be set free
Will my ball and chain
Miraculously unshackle
Will my debts be paid
To society
To my ex wife
Will i be at peace with my mother
Will my father come back to me
Can I dream for peace
An end to the pandemic
Water where there is none
Food where famine has been shunned
Can I help someone
Who needs to be helped
Can I matter to someone
Can I smile once more
Can I be loved
Can I love
We can all dream can’t we
Pick up my book Rhyming poetry to change your day – available here
Don’t forget to leave a review, have a great day!
Hope and positivity
Why do we have to communicate?
Our need to connect to the world
Want to be heard, to matter
Minuscule, making a difference
An itch to be scratched
Unique and wonderful
Marvelously complicated
Humanely simple
Change others lives
Selflessness to help
Someone in need
Notice our actions
Words are power
Lose yourself to find a path
Make errors to learn from them
Never look back
