ALIVE BUT EMPTY
REALITY
It's about the same,
hour after hour,
day after day,
the emptiness of
my routine world.
I leave my house empty,
I walk the empty streets
and arrive at my empty office.
My work produces empty
and redundant yes answers.
At lunchtime I sit in
the cafe filled with empty people
stuffing empty calories.
As I walk home I see
a hearse with a body
with an empty future.
At night I gaze at the heavens but
only see the empty space.
BUT
above all I am alive
but EMPTY without
YOU in...

Jesus Cannot Take my Loneliness Away
You say that Jesus can assuage
your loneliness.
But that is something he can’t do
since he’s become a ghost
and since the only certain cure
for this condition lies
in having someone who, empirically
has earthly physicality,
a real, undoubted, human presence in the world,
reach out in space and time
to touch your skin
and hold you in warm arms
of flesh
then sit with you in silence for a while
and speak out loudly afterward
of friendship
and of love
in words ...
your loneliness.

Say her name! It's Agnes Wanjiru! A Kenyan woman raped and murdered in her country by white British soldiers!
By Stanley Collymore
No chance ever of justice?
It's been a 10 year cover
up! And there are still
people, hoping and even deluding
themselves that justice will prevail.
The truth though, is that the poor
and particularly so those who are
Black, don't matter in the least to
to those, who usually run Britain;
nor for that matter, the massive
and, even really, overwhelming
majority of white Britons; who
clearly have an historic legacy
of routinely using and always
readily abusing those, who're...

Leave Me Be
Get the fuck away from me
Out of my way.
Forget all the things you'd say
Undesired word play.
Communion not wanted
Kindly walk in the other direction.
You don't really care
Only thinking about yourself
Utter nonsense as usual
Risk just an alternative
So shove off and keep away
Even in grief
Love be damned
Fragments to stay in the past.

Lonesome 16
As stale cigarette smoke stains the white.
cracked counter tops of our
abandoned trailer
I imagine our future as we down the bottles.
of liquor our parents hid from us
My body covered in more bruises than flesh I feel the triumph of a million elephants pounding. in my chest
My Heart is at peace in knowing this won't last.
but for you it's never ending
The torture of knowing when enough is enough takes over and
You blame me for every mistake you've made as. ...

Rest in peace /chaos
Life goes on as time goes by ...
My heart is so broken, I just lay here and cry.
My mind is so mixed up and im going insane...
my hearts long been broken, im no stranger to pain.
Torn up on the inside, I miss you my friend. I go thru the motions but I mostly pretend.
I just don't understand it and it's not really fair. I reach out in the darkness but there's no body there.
Just blackness all around me and an emptiness so deep.
I toss and turn here in this bed but I can't go to sleep.
Nights are long and lonely and the days just fly right...
My heart is so broken, I just lay here and cry.
My mind is so mixed up and im going insane...
my hearts long been broken, im no stranger to pain.
Torn up on the inside, I miss you my friend. I go thru the motions but I mostly pretend.
I just don't understand it and it's not really fair. I reach out in the darkness but there's no body there.
Just blackness all around me and an emptiness so deep.

Reach out
The life I'm living,
Seems unfair.
The ache inside,
To much to bare.
Where's the future ?
What's the gain?
Is there anyway,
To end this pain.
To erase these thoughts,
Inside my head
To change the wish,
To join the dead.
For loneliness,
fills my day,
Death it seems,
The only way.
Trapped inside,
This darken hole.
Where's the love..
To save this soul?
Seems unfair.
The ache inside,
To much to bare.
Where's the future ?
What's the gain?
Is there anyway,
To end this pain.
To erase these thoughts,
Inside my head
To change the wish,
To join the dead.
For loneliness,
fills my day,
Death it seems,
The only way.
Trapped inside,
This darken hole.
Where's the love..
To save this soul?

Global murdering bullies in Amess, as they cowardly dash off to their bolt holes at the first sign of retaliation!
By Stanley Collymore
The horrendous bombing
murder of Ruth First in
Mozambique; the evil,
tortured killing of Steve Biko in a
South African jail that, gleefully
in their very own racist words,
left the apartheid scum killers
together with, their evidently
quite supportive, British PM;
assisting UK MP enablers as
well as very odiously white
UK apartheid cretins 'cold'.
Their criminally illegal war
and subsequent invasion
of Iraq, callously leaving
clearly, over one million

Shafts of Light
Shafts of Light
Honeymoon
Memories
Were never
Meant to be
The shafts
Of light
They formed
For me.
For from
Before
Those words
Were said
The memories
Had
Long
Been dead,
Those
Volunteers
On the
Battlefield
Whose strength
Was lost
In bar room
Yield.

The Sword Swallower
There were so many words
Floating around
Inside my head
That eventually
I reached an overload
And they began
To leak out
Of all my orifices
Then swamp the room
Then to flood out
Through my open window
Onto the street below
Swallowing swords along the way
I screamed for HELP
But that word
Had already left the building
And been swallowed up
In the now
Gathering tsunami
As my thoughts
Gathered more momentum
Than before
Then something bizarre occurred
As if this wasn't already ...

Time
The plants need watering.
Prized possessions in succession on the sill,
once specifically selected for offering; loved by me still.
The leaves move south recessed in soundless surrender.
No blossom in bloom; dirt crumbles in vain.
Facing midday September sun
the shrubs fashion a curtain of shame;
shapes of light crawl on my carpet; marionettes
exchange dances, puppeteered by the breeze.
Fine theatre; and the pressure! Room
personifies and begs me to ascend! Advance! Seize!
The plants need watering.

In My Story
When I look into my mirror.
All I see is someone I do not know.
As these feelings grow dearer.
All I want is someone that I can hold.
My life is a lonely thing.
I'm living for today.
There's no way for me to sing.
That takes my fears away.
In my story I am not the one.
No happy ending coming for me.
In my story I can have no fun.
I just turn the page endlessly.
I won't be written in black and white.
Won't be told about around fire light.
Not a song will be sung when I am gone.
I will be remembered by...
