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As we all became forcibly withdrawn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
Is...

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 ...

Be Aware, It's Still Out There
I’m in an unsettled state of mind.
I’m pensive.
In the back of my mind I am followed close behind.
Accompanied by shadows of change, disoriented by something strange.
I didn’t like when my fever did spike.
Odd, peculiar dreams turned to nightmares, giving me such a fright.
I was suspicious it was the virus of this troubling pandemic,
apprehensive of the pink line forming on that test strip.
What went through my mind, you ask.
Did I think thoughts of dread?
You bet I did, even thought about being dead, God...

When They Came For Me
From racial disparity to gender inequality
Medical insubordinations have gripped sociality with its falsehood remedial jargon
From Covid-19 and all its variants, the cancelation of woman’s rights to a new uprising pandemic and that is now Monkey Pox
The depopulation insignia of America and its dirty concealed secrets and it is always a bipartisan agenda
This life we are living reminds me of the infamous poem, First They Came by Martin Niemöller
Hidden agenda by the government is at an all time high
The latest is the Monkey Pox, debacle it...

anxiety vi (love and dying)
Sometimes it feels like
I can't get a break
I've been sick for months now
random viruses, cold, flu
anxiety depression
funnily enough no covid
I worry about my health
mentally
physically
spiritually
My dad's had covid twice now
he's in hospital with a cough
that won't go away
and needs oxygen to breathe
they say he might have lung cancer
but can't run tests
until he's covid negative
We're not good with "I love you's"
so I text him
asking if he's doing okay
and that I hope...

Sadness
A strange cocktail
Dreams of romance
With a large dose of Covid
Both remind me
Of my vulnerability
And Loneliness
It's like falling into an abyss
An empty void
Of silent space
My heart bleeds
Into the ether
There seems no hope
Just this solitude
I find unable to bare
No embraces
To fill my heart
I am no more
Than a grain of sand
On an empty beach
Washed away
In a tide of emotions

Pandemic Pandemonium
oh twisted
fragile mind
tangled within
a fine almost
invisable Web
creating
more intimidating
intrusive fears
while reconnecting
wiith all the long
dormant ones
breathless panic
of being among
familiar settings
that at one time
where a comfortable
sanctuary for sanity
joys of
personal freedom
cruelly taken
replaced by
self denial
of an insane situation
shame
self worth
given daily access
as true faith
is slowly ...
