The Wild West is dead
The Wild West is dead
Even the vultures, flies and maggots
That feasted on the Gunslingers flesh are dead.
All that is left:
Bones in unmarked graves
Millions of forgotten names
The odd rusty gun
The odd rusty blade
The odd rusty bullet
A ton of forgotten corpses
Not just sheriffs, dancers, train robbers, bounty hunters or outlaws
Cleaners, cooks, servants, pastors, ranchers, shop assistants
Just normal citizens
Mundane lives and chores
Struggling to survive
Died of strokes, heart attacks, Cancer or old age
No...

I hold a candle to the devil
I hold a candle to the devil
My hands tremble
The flame flickers at the bottom of the staircase
Satan demands a sacrifice
I read my daughter a story tonight
I hugged her and tucked her in tight
As I gave her a kiss I heard a voice
Outside which tormented inside my mind
It was Lucifer I heard him say "I want the lamb. I will collect the lamb later and I demand my order."
The devil wanted me to sacrifice my daughter
I knew they meant an innocent child the lamb of God.
I ran to the front room
I knew what I had to do

Murder mummys boy
The legend of the mummys boy
Began in a room full of school janitorial supplies
The nerdy kid, the geek - the good guy
Lured inside by the pretty little twin sisters of his tormentors
His parents named him Pharaoh
The teens wrapped him in toilet roll
He looked like an Egyptian mummy they thought it was a joke
A teacher walked by
He started to cry
One boy covered his mouth
Another pinched his nose
The third squeezed his throat
They wanted him to keep quiet
The plan worked
He was silent.

Unusual crowd
Startled me

Fancy dress
Ornate carriage
Elegant horses.
Picture phone
Battery finished
Ran home
Charge phone
Then return
All gone!
All Ghosts?

Thought imagination
Panic! Hallucination?
Madness! Invasion ?
Six months

Zombie
Hypocrisy from people who donate money to a charity, vote liberally and read broadsheet articles about equality but look down on certain groups of society.
I believe if looks could kill I must be a zombie
I must be a member of the living dead
I mean these same people stare at me like a heap of rotting flesh
Sniff the air as if I am surrounded by the stench of death
Insults muttered under their breath
They probably wish I was dead.

Alcohol oracle
Officer what do you mean you are charging me with being drunk and disorderly?
I drink for the betterment of all humanity
I have a higher IQ when under the influence of booze
I know it all I am the alcohol oracle
I find my knowledge in a whisky bottle
Bury me in a whisky barrel
The problem is when you are a pissed genius and sharing wisdom on the preferable route to Atlantis no one listens to it
I am Einstein with a bottle of wine
I could solve world hunger sipping cheap cider
I can recite King Lear in-between sips of beer
If you do...

Sin Eater Eate of the Victorian era
In the Victorian era there was a position one step further down the social ladder than the infamous chimney sweeper.
This position belonged to the awful figure of the professional Sin Eater.
Below is a Sin Eater Guide:
Step one a person dies
Step two the family of the dead arrange a funeral and hires a Sin Eater
Step three said Sin Eater attends the wake and consumes bread and salt from a plate on the body of the actual corpse
Step four the other people who attend the funeral abuse and beat the Sin Eater as they leave.
He or she is kicked up the arse...

Weirdo not help you
In a field with a demon scare crow
You text me to help you
You phone me to save you
Hell no
You said I was a loser
You said I was a weirdo
Now you need my help me I am suddenly your hero.
If you get lost among the fog of an English Moor
Chased by a three headed dog
My advice is don't look for me run more
Dont say my name if you stumble in a maze and find a minotaur
I won't help
I'll lock the door
Good luck
Trying to out swim a shark
Dodge a bullet
Escape a fire
Climb a wonky ladder

Ouja board
The Ouja board keyboard is now in stores!!!
Forget holding hands and sitting around an old fashioned retro board and join in with the next generation of electronic Ouja boards.
Open a word document
Watch in amazement as a message starts to appear on the screen
The keys will go down automatically but there will be no one around
Young have found a link!
You are in direct communication with a spirit or could it be a deamon?
You could make a freind who is dead or maybe find a new enemy!
What will they say hi, I miss you or its time to die? ...
