We can’t seem to make it straight,
this didn’t come out the wazoo.
As those born to a silver plate give us the twenty-two.
Injustice will not perpetuate,
we hope this to be true.
Equality is to hydrate a societal breakthrough.
We stay at home and delegate,
what the hurt should then do.
Yet we fail to appreciate the hurting’s point of view.
Born to a hateful state,
their laws are déjà vu.
Skin and wallet to motivate how the blue interview.
Maybe if you were to...
this didn’t come out the wazoo.

Small
Surrounded, my vision is blurred
I’m loved, conditionally
Mindful activity
Inward cry, no sound can be heard
Silenced captivity
Beam artificially
Locked out, what’s the password
This dangerous sensitivity
Inaccessibility

Paradise
pitta patter
words that matter
footprints left on sand
around the fire
tribes they gather
stories shared hand in hand
unconfined
not counting minutes
exploring delights
without a price
like-minded people
unshackled spirits
a bohemian’s
paradise
workshops
classes
and group dances
harmoniously
collectively
together
laughing along
to our infinite...

Fiction
Stories are found in every medium
Defining the truth can be hard
Peoples fibs perchance be devious
To have you drop your guard
Factual yesterday’s written in history
We trust this can’t be untrue
Yet we find some history is contradictory
To other books world view!
Even media can tell a lie
And the work-shy will share like gospel
Fabrications, in a blink of an eye
How they treat the truth is awful
Not all is so ‘doom and gloom’
Submerged in literatures fantasy
Pages after pages, imaginations costume ...

Mantra
Woke up late again
“life is good. Everything’s ok”
Missed the early train
“life is good. Everything’s ok”
Can’t stop this mantra chain, this really helps my brain and if I feel like I’m in pain, just puff that merry jane… Cos life is good and everything’s ok. It’s okay. I’m okay
Woke up at 7:30
“life is good. Everything’s ok”
Got time to drink some herb-tea
“life is good. Everything’s ok”
I’m a cosy little peewee, reading under a shaded tree, and I might not have a plan B, but right here is where I should be… Cos life is good and...

Judgement
My silence isn’t empty
My mouth hates to repeat
Screams shouting inside me
I’m emotionally beat
You're pathetic
The echoes in my temple
When no one can be found
I write them down in pencil
Disrupting their playground
You're pathetic
Glaring at the floor
Forget where I was going
My mind's a state of war
The reason is unknowing
You're pathetic
Food tastes all the same ...
My mouth hates to repeat
Screams shouting inside me
I’m emotionally beat
You're pathetic
The echoes in my temple
When no one can be found
I write them down in pencil
Disrupting their playground
You're pathetic
Glaring at the floor
Forget where I was going
My mind's a state of war
The reason is unknowing
You're pathetic
Food tastes all the same ...

Black
Waking up, seeing that I’m covered in Earth
A huge smile on her face when my mother gave birth
Certain things I noticed, as I’m listening around
That people call me black and not brown
Yet the feeling of black is so blameful
As though I should be most shameful
Black cats will give you bad luck
The Black Death was running amuck
A Black Hole won’t let you escape
Blackballing won’t let you debate
You don’t aim to be a black sheep
And Black Friday’s when everything’s cheap
Blackmail can be destroying
And blackheads are...

Sweet
Near
Bond robust
A bond, through much re-just
Far
Distance saddled
Fulfilled by miles untraveled
Beg
Friendly desire
With work, we won't expire

Individual
Don’t let time slip away, you have so much to do
squeeze a goal in a day, it’s all for future you
Keep your eyes on the prize, delay your urge to eat
forget your wish to glamorise and happiness will treat
Allow yourself to small pleasures, relax your achy feet
frequency in all measures is surely up your street
Contentment is with a few, to count your friends in one
or 5 or more, you won’t be blue and special to someone
Be busy but don’t be rushed,...

Coded
When you leave, there’s no sun in my sky
But warm fire flies are left aside
You run marathons, that no one can outdo
I’m cheering you on from the side line view
“Come on! Come on! Run right through!” - To be fair, that’s all you can do
Cos in my mind, you’re not really you
Smiling ear to ear, then you break in two
Your eyes fall off as they unscrew
Shattered to pieces, those pieces flew
The meaning of this was misconstrued
Panicking, I...

What am I waiting for?
my needs I just ignore
surround myself with lovely things,
my smile is on the floor.
I’ve not yet left the nest
and some say I am blessed,
from outside you may be right
inside, I'm still depressed.
I feel I've failed in life
craving the afterlife
this constant pressure to be better
internal battle strife.
Why do I complain?
what is there to gain? ...

Cherish
There’s a twinkle in his eyes that makes me feel safe
His presence I just adore
He laughs really hard and gets red in his face
There’s just so much for us to explore
He holds me tight in his full embrace
The feeling I’ve been looking for
Always giving me breathing space
He’s never felt like a chore
I’m happy with him in anyplace
Holding hands at the seashore
Holding hands at the fireplace
Holding hands at the book store
Holding hands when we’re face-to-face
Even on the dance floor
I love him, I can retrace ...
