As soft ripples calmly reflect from the ageing, ever present sun, day time slowly fades, along with the hopes and fears of another day. As I watch the delicate balance of nature perform it's daily ritual, my mind begins to follow it's pattern of renewal. 

peace among the waving, green palms that greet the warm, orange sunset. Small, wooden boats delicately resting on the calm water. As I gaze, ...

a solo drum
the soft breeze drifting
light reflects from capirihina glasses
vocals awaken
waves waving goodbye for the night
sand resting in it's place
two blocks away 
ganzas begin to shake 
voices whisper
footsteps tap
goodnight sun 
Hello Rio.

A system that relies on the slavery of the worker will not succumb to aiding its most vulnerable in a time of need. For that very system relies on this very abuse to keep it functioning. How else would our men survive in this world without the generous offerings of affordable alcohol and football from the terraces or the TV? Merely a pathway to tribalism. The distractions from work packed into a f...

Stone arched staircases

Coloured like a flamingos

With each step, a feeling of dread

Towering above them

Families were separated

Torn apart like cattle

And tens of thousands perished 

In the centre of this small island

Which perches on the edge of Dakar, Senegal...

Didn't your granny ever tell you
Don't pick the bluebells 

If you are to stumble across one 
Hiding amongst the weeds 
Peeping above the shrubs
Stretching beyond the pavement
Swaying in an desolate park
Reaching across meadows
Or 
Gathering in countryside fields

Then just remember what granny said 
Don't pick the bluebells

Unfortunately 
There was once a young, slim built man
