POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have always loved words and would never use them as weapons.I have no great skill but that is of no consequence as long as readers find meaning or solace or guidance in my musings.
No pain No rain
It's raining
Isn't that enough?
It should be
Unless you're human
Because enough is never enough.
Isn't that enough?
It should be
Unless you're human
Because enough is never enough.

Ladies have you ever noticed how men?
love you more when their cocks are in your hands.
tell you things you want to hear so they can use you without fear.
treat you differently before and after you've milked them dry.
can break your heart and walk away but return with lies for one more lay.
know nothing about a womans parts and even less about their hearts.
will revert to type when denied what they expect.
are all the bloody same.
P.S
I know these things because I was one of those men, back in the day.
And discuss!

Want
I wanna perfect body
I wanna perfect mind
I wanna perfect world
But nature ain't inclined.

Simple Simon reimagined.
Simple Elon met a Comman
Going to the fair
Said Simple Elon to the Conman
Got any jobs to spare?
The Conman said to Simple Elon
Show me first your penny
Said Simple Elon to the Conman
No probs I've got so many.
The Conman said to Simple Elon
You're funny and quite smart
Said Simple Elon to the Conman
What's more I have no heart.
The Conman said to Simple Elon
You're perfect for the job
Said Simple Elon to the Conman
May I suck your knob?
The Conman said to Simple Elon
Of course you...

Firefly
Desire is a fire
Left unattended it can turn into a firestorm, destroying everything in its path or it can run out of fuel and just fizzle out entirely.
Desire is a fire
Don't let it go out or become destructive.
Just keep it smouldering and every now and then add some fuel to bring on the flames.
Desire is a fire
The flames of desire will keep you warm when the body grows old and cold.
The flames of desire will protect you from the monsters in the dark.
Desire is a fire
I'm smouldering my darling and you...

It can happen again.
Gustave Gilbert who interviewed Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg concluded
"It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants,” he said. “A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”
Elon Musk on a Joe Rogan podcast
"The fundamental weakness of Western civilisation is empathy".
Americans should start preparing for the book burnings,the door markings and the rounding up of any who oppose the establishment.
I could go on but I might be the next to disappear.

Sun Shower
I was feeling quite discombobulated until a rain shower hit the hot Australian earth and the air filled with the intoxicating smell of petrichor.
I do love this sunburnt country a land of sweeping plains.

Today in Congress
According to Donald Trump he was saved by God to make America great again.
I happen to think that God is just a lousy shot with a rifle.He should stick to lightning bolts next time.
Then again, maybe God decided after he pulled the trigger, that he didn't need a martyr afterall.

Ball Sports
My wife is the one I adore
A mother,a lover, my whore
She's best on her knees
Sucking balls oh yes please
Her holes are all mine to explore.

Love each other or die.
I've been 'sick as a dog' the past 24 hours.
Fever,muscle and joint pain,fatigue,headache and upset stomach.
I never asked to get ill.
I didn't encourage it in any way either.
It just arrived to remind me of how fragile we all bloody are.
My illness will almost certainly pass within a few days but what about the poor bastards that suffer every single day.
They are the heroes of this world and I love every one of them.
Imagine being 'crook' and realising that's how it will always be.
Not sure I could do it.

Hiding in every cell.
Doctors, scientists,philosophers have never been able to locate the human mind.
But
Depression or any other mental illness has no trouble finding it in seconds,the perfect terrorist.
So
The human mind, once located turns in on itself,causing all sorts of mental and physical havoc.
It will stay in a state of turmoil until it becomes invisible once more.
And
It will never be the same again.

Depression is a car crash
Speeding down the road
Ignoring all the warning signs
I brake hard
The skid begins
I hit the pole
It's not a car that's crumpled
It's me
Seriously injured
Close to death
I survive but only just
Head doctors do their best
They hide the truth
Pretend they can return me
To my former self
Even they know
The skid marks are on my inside
Fade they will over time
But erased.....never
I'll never be that person again
It was time for a change anyway.
