The UK
The UK is getting shitter by the day. It's not a question of money, more a question of corruption.
Tax is illegal to avoid unless you are rich enough to steal from the government, with a contract you never have to honour.
The food is being watered down because the people were manipulated into leaving the EU.
People pay millions for health care they are excluded from.
the water companies are polluting, river, lake, and sea.
They tell us to recycle and put it all in the landfill anyway.
We are told that the rest of the world has...

By the light of the fire we write
Tears refuse to fall
Words remain unspoken
The potent mind
Rusts in soulessness
The aces are held
So are the kings and queens
Held as they deal
Without faces
Everybody loses
Details, details in truth
Crash of sensibiltiy
Mowing the grass
Pulling out the flowering weeds
Sheltering the undergrowth
For reptilian love
What should be done is forgotten
What is done is murderous
What could be done, is buried
Under tons of wasted thoughts
All we need is taken
Stolen and...

Beer
Drink the bottle down
Feel the warming numbing rush
Diluting the soul
Feel the warming numbing rush
Diluting the soul

Daily Black and White
The man opened the newspaper
To see how the world had changed
Since yesterday's newspaper
The paper wrapped round his face
Filled his ears
Covered his eyes
Silenced his mouth
Read his mind
Suffocated him until
He forgot his name
He turned black and white
To see how the world had changed
Since yesterday's newspaper
The paper wrapped round his face
Filled his ears
Covered his eyes
Silenced his mouth
Read his mind
Suffocated him until
He forgot his name
He turned black and white

Uncommon Ocean comp entry
She, the blueberry sapphire queen
Beneath the misty moon set dream
Neptune you're a cruel bastard
North east south and westward
Calling to the unquiet souls
To come and sail within your folds
Beneath the misty moon set dream
Neptune you're a cruel bastard
North east south and westward
Calling to the unquiet souls
To come and sail within your folds

Beach Raven Souls
The sea drys it's lips upon the land
The clouds look like they want to cry
The plastic cultures of the damned
Weave beneath a cameras eye
Greyed black feathers bend and spread
Their Talons perch upon the shore
Greyed black feathers unconquered
Beach raven souls for evermore
The clouds look like they want to cry
The plastic cultures of the damned
Weave beneath a cameras eye
Greyed black feathers bend and spread
Their Talons perch upon the shore
Greyed black feathers unconquered
Beach raven souls for evermore

Greatness
Great potential resides in every human being
The tragedy of the 21st century is
So few will achieve it
The tragedy of the 21st century is
So few will achieve it

The Ghost in the Heart
Haunted by the ghost of someone you used to love
Fifteen years and the burn still itches
Haunted by the thought of her voice
You the stray puppy
She the final word on love
Why does it still hurt?
Fifteen years and the burn still itches
It’s a self-inflicted pain
To want the one that will never want you
It drives the hands to write
To paint
To sculpt
Keeps the mind awake
With questions
Wars were waged to forget
The ghosts of rejected love
If love was never rejected
There would be...
Fifteen years and the burn still itches
Haunted by the thought of her voice
You the stray puppy
She the final word on love
Why does it still hurt?
Fifteen years and the burn still itches
It’s a self-inflicted pain
To want the one that will never want you
It drives the hands to write
To paint
To sculpt
Keeps the mind awake
With questions
Wars were waged to forget
The ghosts of rejected love
If love was never rejected
There would be...
