Understanding Chaos
By the time I realised
the puddle wasn't deep enough,
I was already diving.
A coiled serpent
displaced inside a ripple,
only going out to come back in
shedding my skins,
expressions I took
from where faces begin.
Nerves that strobe through conversations,
tin foil touches rubbed on metal filled teeth,
beneath my smile a whirlpool waits
to swallow each day,
the management of traits.
A clever chameleon
only walks on one colour
his tongue doesn't take the snow flake,
hides all day, awake all night ...
the puddle wasn't deep enough,
I was already diving.
A coiled serpent
displaced inside a ripple,
only going out to come back in
shedding my skins,
expressions I took
from where faces begin.
Nerves that strobe through conversations,
tin foil touches rubbed on metal filled teeth,
beneath my smile a whirlpool waits
to swallow each day,
the management of traits.
A clever chameleon
only walks on one colour
his tongue doesn't take the snow flake,
hides all day, awake all night ...

Final Solution Boomerang
See the label
Use the Instructions
Not to better understand
But how better to destroy
Disability is a scourge
Nothing more than a epidemic
Time to isolate
Use all resources to kill it
Genocide is nothing new
The 21st Century final solution,
Keep it in the dark
Under the guise of support
It’s not hard to believe
History has shown how easily it can be done
All it takes is people to look away
Then let the wrong thrive unchecked
Use the Instructions
Not to better understand
But how better to destroy
Disability is a scourge
Nothing more than a epidemic
Time to isolate
Use all resources to kill it
Genocide is nothing new
The 21st Century final solution,
Keep it in the dark
Under the guise of support
It’s not hard to believe
History has shown how easily it can be done
All it takes is people to look away
Then let the wrong thrive unchecked

Calming To Silence
Outside…
The noise is too much
It burns me
Never…
Seems to stop at all
A tide of unwanted emotions
Inside…
The battle for peace
Rages on
Feels…
So good
To be alone
To feel…
the solitude
Let my brain cool down
Let…
The swell of the emotional tide
Finally calming to silence
The noise is too much
It burns me
Never…
Seems to stop at all
A tide of unwanted emotions
Inside…
The battle for peace
Rages on
Feels…
So good
To be alone
To feel…
the solitude
Let my brain cool down
Let…
The swell of the emotional tide
Finally calming to silence

Inadvertently
Dinner parties were held
Family gathered there well
Parents made the home
The center of social life
From miles they'd come
They would always end up there
The root reason?
Son.
His brother's friends
Came there to jam
Sort of like I Am Sam, or Sam I Am
Air band to no end
Got on like mustard on ham
The root reason?
Brother.
Good parents
And good people
Because of family fellowship
And helping others
With jobs.
But alas, what was the root reason?
Son.

Here To Stay
Have you heard the news
We are here to stay
It’s those little things
That mark the road ahead
The headlines creep on up
Tit bits of truth
Every single day the box fills
Fate has brought us here
Don’t get deluded
This is no longer an illusion
Wake up!! autism has arrived
We walk among you unnoticed
No need to fix me
Perfectly capable of making mistakes
These little freedoms
Are my right as a human being
It all comes down to you
Not going to split in two
Just to...

I Am That Label
Ignorance is bliss
Or so the saying goes
But ignorance
Is a lack of knowledge
A narrow perspective
I had this blindness
About disability
Not knowing I was disabled myself
It was invisible to me
As it was to others
When my diagnosis came to light
I was already middle aged
My perspective had new eyes
It was a shameful experience
To be confronted by my own ignorance
I followed the crowd
Laughed at inappropriate jokes
Looked at the stereotypes
Believed the label ...

Brainwash Me
Have me committed
What lies in my mind
Could be classed as insanity
Tie me up in that white jacket
Throw me in the padded cell
Hook me up to that electrical current
Have me bite down
As you burn my memory away
This is the way
To take out the cancer of abnormality
Implant your thoughts
Imprint your orders
Brainwash me with pain
Show me the errors of my ways
Before I can be let loose
Help yourself to what’s left of me
Rebuild your model
I will be your dog
What you want...
What lies in my mind
Could be classed as insanity
Tie me up in that white jacket
Throw me in the padded cell
Hook me up to that electrical current
Have me bite down
As you burn my memory away

Implant your thoughts
Imprint your orders
Brainwash me with pain
Show me the errors of my ways
Before I can be let loose
Help yourself to what’s left of me
Rebuild your model

Five Thoughts
Where Light Dies
Frequency of darkness
Tuned in to anger
Vicious vibrations
Reaching out for destruction
This is where light dies
Out Of The Box
The concept of autism
There’s no box
That can hold its diversity
New Town Leper
Don’t come near me
Can’t you hear the bell
I’m autistic don’t touch
I am contagious
The new town leper
Not Dying Today
Not dying today
One more breath
One more heartbeat
One more step
The little things...

Playground
fear of the unnamed
and unknown
I climb inside
and live there
the eight year old girl
hiding behind my
Mama’s strong legs
silently pleading
begging mute
while she pushes me
forward, angry, disappointed
demanding I shrug
my heavy shoulders
into the shy smile
and polite demeanor
she has picked out
for me to wear
my skin recoils
angry nerve endings
in sudden, involuntary protest
fingers reaching for me
cold claws of dread
latching onto my spine
digging...

Be Heard
I am the voice for those who cannot be their own
Those who lack the skill, the understanding or the patience to carry out everyday conversation
Those are the unheard who need to be heard
So often, their wants are shunned
Their needs are ignored
Their right to self-expression hidden away
Please
Be their voice
Let them be heard
Those who lack the skill, the understanding or the patience to carry out everyday conversation
Those are the unheard who need to be heard
So often, their wants are shunned
Their needs are ignored
Their right to self-expression hidden away
Please
Be their voice
Let them be heard

No Difference Is Tolerated
We are normality
Resistance is futile
We will assimilate your consciousness
So that you will only exist as us
No difference is tolerated
Don’t think
Don’t act
Just do as we ask
Special doesn’t enter it
Needs…..
What needs
That’s not important
You are not important
Just sink into the crowd
Follow the current
No matter how painful
We don’t care
Normality knows best
Resistance is futile
We will assimilate your consciousness
So that you will only exist as us
No difference is tolerated
Don’t think
Don’t act
Just do as we ask
Special doesn’t enter it
Needs…..
What needs
That’s not important
You are not important
Just sink into the crowd
Follow the current
No matter how painful
We don’t care
Normality knows best
