Children's Crusade
The first Children's Crusade enslaved
the gullible and dimwitted.
But none of us - it seems - are saved
from child soldier naifs, outwitted
by propaganda of depraved
greedy predators. Ill fitted
is reason to hysteria -
like talking to diphtheria.
With sincerity beyond doubt,
their decency is weaponised.
The modern Fagin's send them out
to pick the pockets of the despised;
with carbon trading there's no lout
to show the theft and be compromised.
As to this rehearsal scheming -
a prelude to taxing...
the gullible and dimwitted.

after brexit ..
tariffs on british goods went up around
ten per cent of the people thought it
was worth it, whilst the rest who supported
it didn't know what that meant ..

I'll Be There
How do we begin...it started with a war veteran
Then more kept pouring in and now my time is stretched so thin
So many lives I can impact, yet they ask for no help or binding pact
Just happy to see I haven't given up to a system that is so corrupt
The more I try to help the situation Im met with ridiculous legislation and regret
This started as a project to help the damned, it seems the higher ups like the begging hands
It is not just money, but high demand, me with my people...

Ooops ... You Did It Again
Funny
how the self serving and corrupt
believing they can get away with murder
always manage to trip themselves
and end up wincing and whinging
hopping mad around on one foot
holding their stubbed egos
in full view of the public without
fail

Socially engineered injustice worriers
Gov faux grief portrayal
Crisis actors cry about cheque points
Tenderly stoking the bondfire
playing with the good hearted
Like marionettes being pulled towards hate
In the name of love
You get too near a bears cub
And the bear kills you
That's real compassion
Something the emotionally fraught don't understand
Remember it was Hitler who said
I use emotion for the many
Reserving reason for the few
And lo, hysteria is cast like a spell

Save The King { A Dedication to Michael Jackson 1958-2009}
The media loves to speculate as they try to break you then
make you hate the ones that didn’t deserve
the hate or they can make you discriminate
with just one story that paints an ugly picture.
With your pen you torture him then afterwards destroy him and you say it’s not a sin, but why do you do it?!
In the news, across your TV screen and in your magazines you see “ Wacko Jacko” with one ridiculous lie after the next you make him out as the monster, the freak that can't be trusted.
A weirdo that must be ridden of society but tell me who is the real...

Apathy asked but little, aquired everything
A mute child
A mother too afraid to talk
A demented father struggling to hold on
A boy with a collapsed family for support
And here I am as confidante
A laughing dead mockingbird
Absolutely flightless
Abusing the breakdown of relations
Astutely mimicking desire
A counselor who listens well
Absorbing all the failings
Attempting little accusations
Analysing admissions
Affectionately attired
As armour for the broken
Acknowledging the denials
Abruptly interrupting
Always taking it in
And eventually ...
A mother too afraid to talk
A demented father struggling to hold on
A boy with a collapsed family for support
And here I am as confidante
A laughing dead mockingbird
Absolutely flightless
Abusing the breakdown of relations
Astutely mimicking desire
A counselor who listens well
Absorbing all the failings
Attempting little accusations
Analysing admissions
Affectionately attired
As armour for the broken
Acknowledging the denials
Abruptly interrupting
Always taking it in

ballad of britain.
This nation
full of bloodshed,
the big bullfrog
terrorising the
playground.
Five year olds could
sign better deals.
Filthy nation
still divided & rotten,
spoilt by bright lights
it’s beyond redemption
& repentance.
It’s on her knees
in chaos.
This nation
valued by a media
post & MP’s are
penetrating animals
mouths.
