get real gone
there is so much unutterable ugliness in the world, and so much bullshit, you know,
cheap plastic bullshit, cheap bullshit culture
duplicitous bullshit politics...shady electioneering...layers of greed, layers of incompetance,
layers of outright evil.. nazis in the street, devils in the boardroom
all the layers of filth and struggle that are put upon a person from waking to sleeping...from birth until death....
all the layers of atrocity which pile up while the corrupt machine grinds on.....
chewing the land into a flat sameness...bullshit...

Creationist
From the circles
and spiderwebs of palindromes
Icarus could burn for all I care.
As long as that broken wing
that stole my gaze doesn’t mind taking the first step
and climbing all those twisted stairs,
For her I’ll put pressure on the sphere,
All around astounded, reflect my misery,
Until it’s hand over hand like M.C Escher
Metamorphosis a monarch into a religion
but-her-lies keeps me grounded.
and spiderwebs of palindromes
Icarus could burn for all I care.
As long as that broken wing
that stole my gaze doesn’t mind taking the first step
and climbing all those twisted stairs,
For her I’ll put pressure on the sphere,
All around astounded, reflect my misery,
Until it’s hand over hand like M.C Escher
Metamorphosis a monarch into a religion
but-her-lies keeps me grounded.

Just Do It
The New York Marathon Is finally Calling
No more time to waste, no more time stalling
I am so frightened, for the biggest day of my life
Can I finish this marathon for all the times I suffered the muscular pains in strife
Seventeen more days
Bib number, sports bra, Nike biker shorts, sneakers, ready to run and play
In remembrance as I trained through the storms, the rains
The torrid damaging hurricanes
Indoor track, around and around as I went in the midst as snow outside remained
Nike after Nike sneakers, worn, tattered and old ...
No more time to waste, no more time stalling

crescendos
CRESCENDOS
In this season
of Orwell
and Huxley
In the tales
of Lewis
and Tolkien
In the words
of Voltaire
and Dante
It all unfolds
From prophecy
to Revelation
From what was feared
yet never seen
now the songs die
before they are sung
Entire tribes
lost in the shadows
if lies
Anything will do
now
to keep the leeches
off our backs
Anger lights its fuse
seems very few
are immune
Did not work for you
so...

thong or burka
THONG OR BURKA?
They have invested so much
In the lies that make women slaves
And lets man ride on in his pride
Will they ever let go?
Blamed and denied
Exploited and used
Sex is Sex was and Sex will be
Mansions to reward
The rulers of the game
The war of anything
That keeps them divided
Money was a farce
From the very beginning
Was the fig leaf not enough?
Covenants and contracts
Nature silenced with yet another deal
If we make a mistake
We can always abort
Blood shed for...

ELECTION EVE
They fornicate
with money
Send us plastic dolls
and puppets
Pretend our vote
will matter
while they play games
with not even sophisticated lies
About the economy
no about the freedom
you imprison
with your decisions
Some fool of a minister
abuses children
by making them
sit pointless tests
but you like abuse
it has been the way
this nation has been run
for years
Press barons
and soothsayers
will find a way
to brain wash

Nothing But Words
Sometimes words just aren't enough
to capture all of the magic that surrounds
the spill of the rainbow after a good storm
the twinkles that resound from a caring eye
the lick of the lips before that first kiss
resplendent, sumptuous, beheld
my mind wanders the forest that is me
searching for what now remains
the faults and the fissures
the fallen, and the free
the leaves fall one by one
opulent amber hues abound
ne'er is there a sound
no words but the beauty still exists
there's a...

smash the mirrors
EPISODE 27 SMASHING THE MIRROR
What do you say to someone who believed that there spouse would be healed, but the spouse dies?
What do you say to someone who believed the lord promised blessings and love, but life went in the very opposite direction?
What do you say to the woman who has waited years for a promised mate?
What do you say to anyone who has been promised gold and given only brass?
When the events in life do not go the way you had hoped, and prayed and believed, what do you do?
When there are no answers that really make sense?
When you...

the pay inequality
The pay inequality
So Serena Williams had a meltdown
and in the furore called the umpire a thief
this meltdown was quite entertaining
but didn’t stir me into action.
What shocked me was learning
Randi Toksvik made forty % less than her
Pre- presenter, the odious Stephen Fry made at, the same program.
My mother fought tirelessly for the same pay for the same work
And slowly it has seeped in.
In the merchant navy, the equality has always been practised
it doesn't matter what job you have the payment is the same
for men and...

ANOTHER PLANET
Fishnets were sexy
back in my day
now they are old hat
its fifty shades and more
before you even
get started
These days
so much meaningless angst
parades itself before our eyes
the mystery of life
has been losteting
Cruel sells
blame speaks
politicians strut
and singers
wear less and less
I come from a time
when lyrics meant something
when stories reached within
and melodies and rhythm
could drive away
the bile of life

Greed
Hanging up on myself
Now my ears are ringing
The voices demanded I answer
The sirens are singing
There was much that needed to be said
Greed has returned, its time to get paid
Predatory loans now roams the plains
Wanton wants are now off the chains
Thinking that I knew the difference
Between want and need
Place me on a course
To collide with greed
When first met it was, "nice to meet you
There's nothing that you can try, that I cant do
If you need a small loan to make ends meet
Watch with amazement...
Now my ears are ringing
The voices demanded I answer
The sirens are singing
There was much that needed to be said
Greed has returned, its time to get paid
Predatory loans now roams the plains
Wanton wants are now off the chains
Thinking that I knew the difference
Between want and need
Place me on a course
To collide with greed
When first met it was, "nice to meet you
There's nothing that you can try, that I cant do
If you need a small loan to make ends meet
Watch with amazement...
