Foolish Crowd
There are a lot of mysteries, anomalies and such,
things that seem to have no explanation why they are.
One of these (above the rest) that makes me wonder much -
is how the foolish crowd is made of people who are far
from being foolish on their own. Yes, people who are good.
Yet somehow when they’re in a group, mysteriously they change.
It’s something I suppose just really...

Freedom
Why do we always end up in the place where we began?
Why is it freedom fades away and dies in every land?
I think the problem lies within the reason why we fight,
for it is not to win the war then stand guard day and night
with vigilance. No sadly this is not the cause at all,
and so the stage is set that every time we rise we fall.
Yes, time has shown we do not fi...

A Step Half Made
As lightening shone and thunder blew,
I danced the dance that dancers do.
They danced it back and asked if I
would mind them dancing through the night.
I thought no harm could come of this
besides, such company I’ve missed.
Thus, on we danced so unaware
that torrent rains beyond compare
fell down in floods on higher ground,
and like a wall came crashi...

Crucifixion
They say that the truth is a hard thing to take,
but maybe it’s time that we see
that we as a people are nothing but fake,
ensuring that’s how it will be.

doing so with our fists in the air.
It’s truly the oddest dance ever been danced,
hypocrisy beyond compare.
We claim we want peace but we seek the next fight
as we...

Foolish Pleasures
Sending that text in the midst of anger
Waiting for love in the rain
Watching TV in the bedroom so late
That your eyes start to smart with the strain.
Eat chips, drink wine, eat more cake in the dark
Smoke when your chest’s sounding rough
Watch scary movies with only one eye
Lie awake imagining stuff.
Answer the land-line, though it’s a cold caller

compensatory delusion
a kindest gesture
above all others
received gratefully
was to be shown the door
leaving behind a pillared
image of affection;
gloved, pugilistic,
guarded stance
holding no sacred
ground -impugned
zero rated disuse;
here it all unravels:
of what benefit is
this grossly overpriced
monstrosity of a car
or these now stained
designer threads
had you cared less
we’d end up here
n...
