POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Comedy writer and also write serious stuff from the heart when I'm in the mood. Without humour life has no real balance and we take ourselves too seriously. I use humour as armour against the slings and arrows of outrageous circumstance. ;-)
To Whom It May Concern
They say that a man blind from birth will never truly know what darkness is.
If I were not dull how would you know you were bright?
If I were not always wrong how would you know you were always right?
You owe me a vote of thanks for being among the ranks,
Of those simple souls who cannot (or will not) hide behind pseudo-intellectual prose,
As you do to augment your fragile ego. Why do you need to? God only knows!
Yet you noticed me! I exist! Even as an object of your distain,
My goal achieved, my soul feels bliss, I’ll not complain,
Though...

The Sniper
Yonder see the enemy a young man standing tall,
A gleam on eye, on rifle struck by sun,
Can any war be truely won?
By killing him can good be done?
Stern duty calls.
I carefully aim and cause this man to fall,
Rejoice not he was the brother of us all.
