behind the pen
BEHIND THE PEN
The smell was always there
damp rags and stale dog faeces
cigarette smoke and olbas oil
A smell filled with noise
crying dogs
screaming adults
and the ever present
television
Nothing clean
no peace
no sanctuary
no rest for my soul
That was my childhood
Ridiculed shamed
beaten outcast
betrayed neglected
abused abandoned
words on the shrine
of old pain
I learnt how to hate
at a very early age
Counting the minutes
that needed to become...

turn around
TURN AROUND
Turn around now
before Hell becomes
your owner
Does not matter
how you got here
it is time
to turn around
The enemy of your soul
has used hurt and need
false dreams and hopes
frustrations and anger
riches and poverty
to wind his web
around you
God seems distant
out of date
and deaf to you
but your senses
have become dull
to truth
The world is full
of hate and conflict
self servers
serving their own lies
Nations rage and totter...

It Wasn't Me
Who gave you
the Authority
to sentence me
to a life
of servitude
bending my back
to pay
the ever spiralling Bills
of the necessities
in this life
Who gave you
the Authority
to sentence me
and my children
to a life
of Eating and Drinking
known poisons
that you deemed
as Legal
Who gave you
the Authority
to sell me lies and deceit
then rebrand those words
Fake news
Who was it
who gave you
the Authority
to confuse
our children
on...

A Tribute to the Bastards (From Bastards of the New World)
In the times of a life you become broken
& bruised but refuse to lay down
for any other soul. Feeling misused drunk
off hope & a muse to neglect all the memories
of pain. Feel a warmth in clouded skies
know that the rain pours inside when you open your eyes
to the present. Far from a gift
since the cord was snipped
you pray to a mirrored Godd cuz you hone Him.
Self divine love will get you sent to the morgue
& with chaos restored youll see all faith collapse. Stuck
in this zone you use to call your home
but...

What humans think pt.3
Don't be suprised when it all passes"
The alien ancestors whispered.
The cultures and the mainstream
dismiss the wisdom
and they stay blind.
On the outside
the alien observes the horrors of humankind.
Amazed, the sell out citizens
carelessly create chaos,
the faces of "power" convince them to conform
and in the privacy of everyones domain,
be it saints, sinners, deceivers or believers
and every other member of the human race cutting corners to survive,
they all have one thing in common;
the monkey mind...

No Way Out Of Here
No woman here,
Just those walls
and miles of them.
The sun has even run and
maybe it is all for the best.
I want booze.
I want booze to forget
every woman that I didn’t fuck
or couldn’t.
Life is funny and sad.
Somehow, even
after dying inside,
you still have to beat
the alarm clock
in the morning —
and you will.
Just those walls
and miles of them.
The sun has even run and
maybe it is all for the best.
I want booze.
I want booze to forget
every woman that I didn’t fuck
or couldn’t.
Life is funny and sad.
Somehow, even
after dying inside,
you still have to beat
the alarm clock
in the morning —
and you will.

no victory for evil
NO VICTORY FOR EVIL
Trip the lights and dance
flesh for the animals
drugs for the hungry
eat the night into another realm
The stench of all that is done
hidden in full view
another protected evil
scores a hit at the casino
Show me what you have
no time for tomorrow
the way things are
who knows how many tomorrows
are left
Degrees of control and surrender
when the stomach is empty
the rage will come forward
Wicked imagine the horror they can do
money feeds desire
and desire...

lean against the door
LEAN AGAINST THE DOOR
You used your stiletto truth
on my hardened heart
and all the excuses
raced back in time
and I never knew
Key words
cascade
because
the sounds
bring
something
from you
that cannot be denied
Knowledge
has become
locked
in the failure
of lonely nights
Far too much black
in this red
Too much red
in my white
Omens for breakfast
while the stage fills
with vultures
dressed
in your ignorance
Wish I could wake ...

deception is the new black
DECEPTION IS THE NEW BLACK
We voted
We came out
We were hated
We were treated with contempt
The dogs barked
the wolves howled
and the mannequins
played their role
Now we have
stage managed
opposition
to the anyone
who represents
the masses
Another puppet
will take their place
and the games of thrones
continue
In these times
of fleeting hopes
I do not know
what to believe
anymore
Evil prospers
by hook or by crook
The masses
are...

broken streams
BROKEN STREAMS
The streams are broken
I catch the mood
trying once more
to remind me
how many times
I have tried
Fractured moments
wishes mocked
Years have locked
so many doors
I look in the mirror
and wonder
where my youth
went
Sharp glass
on frosted lakes
or a sombre fire
ripping at
my soul
The way down
is easy
you just let go
I want to feel
like I used to feel
and like I never have
Passion teases
the care
