Mother Nature’s Revenge
Mother Nature’s Revenge
We live on Cattle and pigs and chickens
Killing the sentient just for dinner
What would happen if we were hunted
We say we are free but it’s not that simple
What happens when Mother Nature freaks out
Cows are men and children are little lambs
Uprising from the animal side all the sudden
We are being hunted like pheasants with no wings
So have them chicken nuggets how about a Big Mac and some fries
Sit bloated stained by sugary McDonalds
Now a bird...

We are being hunted like pheasants with no wings

A Broken Silence
A juxtapositioning
As people
In their multitudes
Were dying
Terrible pandemic deaths
Whilst most of nature
Was blossoming
Overgrown verges
Now a hive of activity
Bees, and butterflies
Fluttered, and buzzed
Over beautiful wild flowers
The silence of human lif
Replaced by birdsong
Which broke the silence
And the solitude
Becalming fears
Of the other reality

Savior Dog
She cocks her head and stares,
offers a paw in the air,
The paw is a word, the stare
a question, when the liquor
is drunk unchilled, they will stare
In the coldness of covid,
the paws comforted, rescued
our souls, the whip of the tail
delighted, their noses keen
to the smell of woes and worries
she flops down beside me, her
bottom up, and demands the rub,
near and nudging, she stares when
I stop, we healed when we stroked
petted bathed nuzzled fed
...

Post Pandemic
We’ll sit in the park
In the dark
Laugh a lot
And drink some shots
We’ll run in the sea
Climb a tree
Have a fight
And hug really tight
We’ll jump up and down
All around town
Throw some ‘taters
And wake up the neighbours
We’ll take lots of drugs
Act like thugs
Make a mess
And eat lots of cress
We’ll have lots of sex
Break our own specs
Troll your mother
And cough on each other

There was a time when all seemed lost ...
Pandemic
Circa 2020
Working from home
Often minimal engagement
Most my customers were shut down
So living on a shoe string
Not much to do
Eventually started to paint again
The job precluded Art
Always on the road
Too tired at night or weekends
But then the pandemic
Suddenly more time than work
Out came the paints and brushes
I call this painting “Time Lost”
In the seemingly lost days
I painted for hours

A Multitude Of Curses
In the last few years
Of withering tears
We experienced Brexit
And the fragmentation, that came with it
Then the Pandemic, full forsworn
As we all became forcibly withdrawn
Then the war in the Ukraine
With the fear of nuclear intervention again
And the obvious worries, and realistic fears
As the worst of climate change nears
Along with the subsequent massive price rises
That has left black holes, and unwanted surprises
In now empty purses
And a multitude of curses

Lady Macdeath
Kiss of death
Since Macbeth
Ten days imprisoned
Within my ivory tower
Like a wilting flower
Other than a four hour
Sojourn
No conquests, at the Conquest
No swords, at my behest
Blood was spilt
Drawn through the eye of a needle
No daggers drawn
Or Mick Jagger yawn
No nice Chianti
Dripping upon my liver
Silenced lambs
That would make me quiver
I have returned to my retreat
My castle in the sky
Further recluse'd
And people shy
My belly empty
And my throat is dry
This virus

Feeling Covid Mouldy
My throat
Feels like
Ive been eating chainsaws
For breakfast
My nose
Could flood
The Thames Barrier
And my legs
Are made out of Jelly Babies
My shivers
Send me all in a quiver
Running hot, and cold
Like faulty central heating
Coughing
Sneezing
Most displeasing
And quite diseasing
I'm as contagious
As Camembert
(Brie, is not quite me)
But mostly
I'm like a mouldy blue cheese......

Brighter Side
It’s time to wake up
Unplug yourself from the TV screen
You need to get up
And step away from the empty screams
You can’t just give up
You have to keep chasing down your dreams
Just pick yourself up
Doesn’t matter how much your soul bleeds
-From the fire you’ll burn brighter
than anyone that’s by your side
From the ashes you’ll rise higher
Than any doubt that’s in your mind
So stoke the fire and see the brighter side
For once in your life- (chorus)
The key’s in the car
Just drive so far away...
Unplug yourself from the TV screen
You need to get up
And step away from the empty screams
You can’t just give up
You have to keep chasing down your dreams
Just pick yourself up
Doesn’t matter how much your soul bleeds
-From the fire you’ll burn brighter
than anyone that’s by your side
From the ashes you’ll rise higher
Than any doubt that’s in your mind
So stoke the fire and see the brighter side
For once in your life- (chorus)
The key’s in the car
Just drive so far away...

Stray
Do your part and stay away from me
I don’t want your motherfucking disease
Have you heard of social distancing?
Just stay inside and throw away the key
Trust the plan/ It will work if we all obey/ at least that’s what they say
-So hang your head and join the herd. There’s no need for you to stray.
It’s better to not say a word, You don’t want to misbehave.- (chorus)
Close your eyes cause you don’t need to see
What’s hiding behind curtain number three.
Trust the plan/ It will work, don’t you agree/ Do you...
I don’t want your motherfucking disease
Have you heard of social distancing?
Just stay inside and throw away the key
Trust the plan/ It will work if we all obey/ at least that’s what they say
-So hang your head and join the herd. There’s no need for you to stray.
It’s better to not say a word, You don’t want to misbehave.- (chorus)
Close your eyes cause you don’t need to see
What’s hiding behind curtain number three.

Unknown
Herding the sheep
Don't make a peep
Isn't this all so perfect?
No time to weep
Just go to sleep
And soon this dream you'll forget
Now that I have you attention
You have no choice but to listen
-Just do as you were told
Sometimes it's best not to know
Just hang your head and follow
I'll give you my hand to hold
As we enter the unknown - chorus
Culling the weak
People are freaks
This fucked up world makes no sense
Force fed deceit
Better not speak
There's no way to make amends ...
Don't make a peep
Isn't this all so perfect?
No time to weep
Just go to sleep
And soon this dream you'll forget
Now that I have you attention
You have no choice but to listen
-Just do as you were told
Sometimes it's best not to know
Just hang your head and follow
I'll give you my hand to hold
As we enter the unknown - chorus
Culling the weak
People are freaks
This fucked up world makes no sense
Force fed deceit
Better not speak
There's no way to make amends ...

You Never Ran from Me
Choose your pleasure
Grasp at straws
Brass rings
Leather corsets
Climbing Everest
Stars a grasp away
Quiet pandemic moments
Hundreds of them
Secrets revealed
Walls came down
Truth and circumstances
You never ran from me
I run towards you
I want to save you
Taste your tears
Hug you so tight
A game to see who releases first
It won't be me
Grasp at straws
Brass rings
Leather corsets
Climbing Everest
Stars a grasp away
Quiet pandemic moments
Hundreds of them
Secrets revealed
Walls came down
Truth and circumstances
You never ran from me
I run towards you
I want to save you
Taste your tears
Hug you so tight
A game to see who releases first
It won't be me
