Begging Man (Tomorrow It Could Be You)
Tomorrow It Could Be You.
As I sit with my bowl huddled on the floor.
Watching endless people enter the supermarket door.
I'm cold and tired from another hungry night.
And to all these people I am an unwanted sight.
My worn-out clothes are smelly and full of holes.
My shoes let in the water right through my soles.
I just looked straight ahead hoping someone will stop...

Whatever You Do
If you don't like it how it is
Stop complaining.
Stop praying, start living
Stop hoarding, start giving
Stop wanting, start enjoying
Stop waiting, start playing
Stop asking, start finding
Start hoping, stop minding
Stop whatever you are doing
Start changing

Make A Space In Your Heart
Part One
Though your day is full
There’s so much to do
It’s a busy life
So hard being You
Make a space in your heart
Open out your mind
Take a moment apart
To see what you’ll find
Part Two
Because the world – has so many places
And in this world – there are so many faces
Waiting for a smile

Time Could Last Forever
We live our lives together
Breathing the same air
Yet never help each other
It makes life hard to bear.
So much could be made better
In just a little time
And time could last forever
If we just use it right.

Giving Tuesday
Forget Black Friday.
Cancel Cyber Monday.
Go Giving Tuesday!
How can we focus on material things,
superficial gifts,
when children are starving,
sick, neglected, abused,
need clean water to drink...
If 2020 has taught us anything,
it is to see more clearly,
appreciate what we have,
lend a helping hand.
Together we rise above mediocrity,
spread love in o...

Faith is a Barren Garden
Faith is a Barren Garden
Faith is a barren garden
planted in hope
of hiding a soul's imperfect being.
Yet its weak and sickly saplings
avoid the sun, revealing
the acid glare of the cynic's soulless seeing.
Only Charity offers succour to the homeless.

Humans: the race that plagues the Earth
You see the USA and UK
Having pride for our race
When really, we are a disgrace
But the truth always is the hardest thing to face
We hurt the world that gave us life
Proving our greed has no price
We are a plague upon the earth
Taking it for all that it is worth
Money comes before conservation
Because nothing is worth it, without gaining a sum
Disguising our greed as caring for what's ...

Charities and the church
Charities and the church
The two bodies we should most respect
Are only interested in reputation
Not in the people they should protect.
They hide and conceal
Crimes so heinous we all deplore
Women raped, children abused
Victims too scared to report to the law.
I hold my head and weep a river
For humanity and its darkest shame
How can we stoop so low
In re...

The pitifulness of the pityful
In a bustling open market
Before sunset
In buyers
And sellers heart
Seeking a place
An emaciated old beggar
With a weather-worn face
Was pitifully collecting alms
Putting on tattered clothes.
Soon in a tear-jerking
And heart-wrenching manner
A poor blind boy
Playing a flute
Singing a song strong
Titillating everyone's heart
Invoked sympathy with art
"It was
On a cursed morn

Soft Money
Deciding
To be kind
For those in need
I gave money off hand.
But soon
I turned cruel
When many took my giving
A for granted rule!
Savory,
Spoils many
Soft money.

Brit-Wres-Fest 2012 - NaPoWriMo Piece
First time he'd ever been,
First time he'd ever seen
imaginations running wild brother,
see it to believe it.
As British as fish and chips
on a sunny London afternoon.
3 way dance or triple threat,
call it what you like but never forget
the joy,
the elation
the anticipation.
As Ligero drives the crowd wild,
the show stealer got robbed
