Conflict...
Life is precious, they say
God given, the gift of life, you only have one
Then why oh why are they taking life so freely, so recklessly, so selfishly?
I live one day at a time, thats my choice and not your suggestion
Bombs are dropping, explosives exploding
Fear is fuelling fear, people fleeing with nowhere to flee
Parents unable to give their children the promise of peace and freedom
What a sorry way to live
Tragedy is our closest friend, our closet enemy
Maybe this is the end of all endings
All we have is hope, hope for peace and...

Bravery Rage Eruption
Blood moon tears,
Kissed raged of tempest,
Consuming fire,
Bravery parity,
Gasp, ..her last breath …. insanely,
Heaven’s Angel, ...evolved salvage warrior,
Redeemed by a tumble

Some Cure
I could, I could point
to all the sweet nothings
until you’re not the nerves
of that void that you can’t feel
beyond Fingertips Ct.
signs staked in the t-folds: “Dead End”
If I would, I could handle
your prophecy in test tubes
each bubbles newborn:
|Abstract||Pinch-able||Impossible|
and you’ll sit in all of the waiting rooms
twiddling for the pH balance of headlines
A tower shown has a trickle-down
scene of falling hands in versions
of the rain, snow, the...

The spoils
I have longed for the season to end
Filled with steel
And tears
Dis-ease and the casualties
Making faith a liability
Weapons our bodies have had to be
To not die in the fires rampant on the street
I will do no less than rejoice
You and I are here
To give our swords to the sheath
My love, come near
Strip this war from our eyes
As victory
Is birthed a wonderous dawn
On our lips
Named...free
Filled with steel
And tears
Dis-ease and the casualties
Making faith a liability
Weapons our bodies have had to be
To not die in the fires rampant on the street
I will do no less than rejoice
You and I are here
To give our swords to the sheath
My love, come near
Strip this war from our eyes
As victory
Is birthed a wonderous dawn
On our lips
Named...free

Oppressed
Imagine
Being in whatever your favourite place is
Living in constant fear
That a bomb
May land on you
At any given moment
Night, or day
Day in, day out
Week in, week out
Whilst the entire infrastructure
Of where you live
Is gradually, and brutally
Eradicated
Little, or no food, or water
No medicines, for your son, or daughter
As the country you were born in
Becomes a wasteland
As clouds of oppression
Rains down on you daily
Where countries that could help you
Don't
As they have a vested...

The Bomb
All is Quiet
All is Calm
Till the Bomber
Sings its song
whistling Down
Out of sight
The bomb explodes
With a thundering light
All is Quiet
All is calm
The bomb has
Sung its song
Some are saved
Some are not
Hiroshima
Is left to rot
Who has the power
Who is for sure
No one is safe now
There is no cure
All is Calm
Till the Bomber
Sings its song
whistling Down
Out of sight
The bomb explodes
With a thundering light
All is Quiet
All is calm
The bomb has
Sung its song
Some are saved
Some are not
Hiroshima
Is left to rot
Who has the power
Who is for sure
No one is safe now
There is no cure

Now the time Approachith
Now the hour draws near,
Where past and future fiercely steer.
A collision course of old and new,
A battleground for the chosen few.
Who shall emerge as the victor bold,
And who, besides, will their fate unfold?
Who will ascend to heights supreme,
And who will plummet, as if in a dream?
To a fiery demise, they may descend,
Friend and fiend and foe, all blend.
Each one must release the bygone days,
Let history's grip unclasp its stays.
For what matters most, as time unfurls,
Is not the past's relentless swirls. ...

and rachael for her children cry
Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end

the fiercely barking hand grenades
and other weapons wars have made
are never idle in the hands
of those who set out to invade
the sanctity of sovereign lands.

Dial Portugal 1944
Under the cloak of neutrality,
Portugal, land of ancient navigators,
watched the world in calamity,
in the silence of their own fears.
Salazar, with his iron hand,
kept the war out the door,
but the echo of the conflict was sincere,
and in the gloom, hope was dead.
The Tagus reflected the moonlight
while spies danced in Lisbon.
War, a shadow that continues
in the story that memory sings.
Tungsten fueled the economy,
dark business in dark times.
Neutrality was a utopia
or a game between several...

Slaughter
Israel
Led by its dictator
Benjamin Netanyahu
Commiting crimes against humanity
Israeli troops
Now slaughtering
Starving Palestinians
Around aid convoys
Whilst also destroying
The infra structure of Palestine
Netanyahu is a monster
And that back him
Like Biden, and Sunak
Are supporting a genocide
A slaughter of the innocent
Whilst Europe
Are still buying Russian oil
Transferred onto neutral ships
