Dare to defy

Phil Lister3 Comments

.

Why do we always want more?

Why does it eat us up?

What difference does it make?

If we want to change our luck

.

Do we suffer from greed?

Is it a bad thing?

Is it installed in us?

This constant need to win

.

We cannot stay still

Static in daily grind

Parallel continually

Like a boring line

.

DARE TO DEFY

Scream and shout

Turn it on its head

Show life what you’re about

.

You can be better

Selfish, hell yeah

Grab the bull by the nuts

Make that bugger scared

.

Positive, a winner

You are number one

You have all the power

This battle is won!

Love life

Phil Lister7 Comments

Thinking happy thoughts

Happy and bright

Chilling on a cloud

Feeling light

Sucking up the sunshine

Cruising through the day

Forgetting all my troubles

Kaleidoscope my way

Turning like a spin top

Colours so wonderful

Dizzying numbness

I refuse to fall

Tiptoeing like a dancer

Clothes stripped from me

See me in my glory

This is how to be

Kartwheels effortlessly

Weightless as I am

Majestically turning

Just because I can

Nigeria’s addiction

Phil ListerLeave a comment

.

The sweet stuff

Addicting

Just a taste

Euphoria within

.

School kids

One try and they’re hooked

These children

Should be reading books

.

If you’re in rehab

They chain you to the floor

This is meant to stop you

From wanting to take more

.

In the nightclubs

In the streets

Dealers sell it

A strawberry treat

.

Cartons flood in

Into the wrong hands

Bad people feeding greed

Selling to the gangs

.

Highly addictive

Taken in excess

Euphoric high

Mind in a mess

.

Kidney damage, seizures

Psychosis, delusions too

Hallucinations, schizophrenia

It does this to you

.

Whether you’re rich or poor

Educated or not

Avoid it, don’t start

Use all the will power you’ve got.

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

My lost doggie

Phil Lister3 Comments

.

Oh where oh where

Could my little dog be?

Oh where could you be?

.

He’s little and white

And very light

Oh where oh where is he?

.

I’ve looked for miles

For whiles and whiles

He is nowhere to be found

.

He’s got a little bow

That sways to and fro

Oh where oh where could you be?

.

Into the park

And I hear a dog bark

Oh is it? Could it be?

.

I look all around

My dog I have found

With a branch under a tree.

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

.

You will suffer

Not for too long

Overwhelming trance

What is this song?

.

You will soon be free

When I decide

Oh my dear,

I’m sorry, I lied

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
