Master of Greed.
I wish I were the Master of Peace,
there'd be no tears of war, no suffering, no grief.
No evil, No corporations, No governments and No Police.
Ā
I wish I were the Master of Pain,
For it's such a sweet, pleasurable learning.
No anger, No shame.
I'd teach those who exploit, that our life is not your gain.

I wish I were the Master of Place,Ā
I'd spread my wings from ag...

Life Comes To This
Love is flowing down these blood-washed streets.
We are not done.
You put us out yet cannot put us out.
You have not won.
Hate hopes to overpower
Yet is weak
For Freedom's spirit cannot be contained
By anything.
We are not crushed nor wilted
Nor alone
We are not bowed nor beaten
Nor undone
Listen, for we still are brave to speak
Words will be waged
Look, for we still carry our ...

Humanity's gone into hibernation
Our focus has shifted to survival
Coronavirus has a bright side
We've changed since its arrival
Ā
Mortal danger pushed us together
New-found solidarity is a boon
Survivors will emerge stronger
Dont self-pity or despair too soon
Ā
Love can prevail over evil
But humility must come into its own
The era of complacency is over

A Disease Called Power
I will begin by pointing out that this is not intended to be a partisan political statement, to offend or attack anyone in particular. I write and express what I feel and observe, as a simple citizen. I intend to declare my pain and astonishment seeing that my country is being systematically destroyed and its people humiliated and decimated. In the last 2 years nearly 4 million have emigrated, not...

For Bob Crow
Poem for Bob Crow (cheers W.H. Auden)
Stop all the docks, cut off the trains,Ā
Start the mariners striking, be still the cranes,Ā
Silence the busses and with muffled bullhornĀ
Bring out the coffin, let the workers come.Ā
Let politicians circle, moaning overheadĀ
confessing on the airwaves, He Is RED,Ā
Put nooses round the white necks of the bosses,Ā
Let the riot policemen carry their o...
