Christmas madness

Phil Lister2 Comments

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

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

Suicidal rage

Phil Lister8 Comments

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

Life

Connected disconnected

Phil Lister4 Comments

We are all in a trance

Hypnotized by our phones

Look around you, at others

Every time that you roam

.

They enter on the train

White headphones, earphones too

Transfixed, silence

Nothing else to do

.

We cannot switch off

Your doing it now

Tapping on the phone

It’s the only way how

.

Update your status

Scratch yourself

Hours pass by

In your stealth

.

Listen to music

We’ve lost all our skills

We’re all addicted

To this technological pill

Our romantic break, can’t wait

Phil Lister2 Comments

Worked and worked

With the odd jerk

Today was someone’s last day

.

Happy to be home

Tranquil and alone

Feet up finally, yes

.

Doggedly continuing

Back pain killing

Refuse to ever quit

 .

More importantly

Most in fact 

Week holiday and a bit

.

Baby to nanny’s

Pets to a dear friend’s

Bordeaux for us two

.

Our romantic get away

At long last

My dear I love you

happy · Life

Hope and positivity

Phil Lister2 Comments

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

Give me your reaction

Need it to thump

Hope it shocks you

Leaves a lump

.

I’m watching you

When I announce the news

Feeding my appetite

What will you do?

.

Scream and shout

Rage with all your might

Sulk in the corner

Go off into the night

.

I see it now

Your face starts to change

Frown scowling

Going insane?

.

Tears trickle down

As eyes close shut

Head into your hands

It’s just too much

.

It is my choice

Accept it if you will

This is my life

Swallow my bitter pill

Waiting for payday

Phil Lister2 Comments

.

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
