Behind Bars
I write about what I see…
If you don’t want me to see it
Close the TV channels down
I write about what I see…
If you don’t want me to scroll up and down
Close the internet down
I write about what I hear…
If you don’t want me to listen
Put all the people behind bars
Though I fear, the truth
May slip through the cracks

Come back the country I love
Come back the country I love
Come back and put
Food on my table
Come back and bring me
Peace & Love
No one is excluded
and I belong here again
Not trembling over words
Or the bang at the door
It is you who don’t belong here
anymore

This is Happening
This is not happening
This you can’t see
The prison cells are filling
Whilst you digest the lies on TV
This is not happening
This you can’t see
You play deaf dumb and blind
Until you see
This is happening
This you can see
Your brother your mother your father
Taken away
Live on TV

Lay Your Thick White Blanket on our Land
Lay your thick white blanket on our land
Cover up the corruption
The beggars scavenging for food
Lay your thick white blanket on our land
It freezes the lies in mid-air
Gives the children a smile
Freezes the parents’ tears
Let the thick white blanket stay on this earth

The Snow is not to blame
The snow is not to blame
In fact, it covers it up
All that I see is kindness
On the white covered ground
The snow is not to blame
It offers a rest bite
from worry,
as the crystals float past
my window
an endless letting
go
an endless letting
go

Unfriend
I’m staring out of the coffee shop window
In a strange land
A pang in my stomach
Why didn’t I take anyone with me
No one to meet
From when I was 18
Right through to my 30’s and beyond
Until 40’s 50’s I had a new one
But he withered and died
Why didn’t I take them with me
I feel a pang inside
But each carried me
To where I am now…
...

The knock at the door will come
The knock at the door will come,
As night follows night.
They come at this time you know
When justice is out of sight
