Gently driving home

Phil Lister1 Comment

On way back home

2 days away

Christmas with loved ones

Surprises were at bay

.

Soon to return

To normality

En route in the car 

With coffee

.

Behind in the car

Looking all around

Seeing all these cars

With presents that surround

.

My baby in front seat

Trying to make me laugh

Mummy driving gently

As other cars go past

Independence

Phil ListerLeave a comment

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!

Phil Lister3 Comments

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

Phil Lister1 Comment

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

Phil Lister2 Comments

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

Phil Lister3 Comments

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

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
