No Place For Angels

     We believed,

We thought nothing could stop

‘Our’ evolution,

     Would even go to

War to settle difference of

Ideology,

     But, we’re no different

Now than thousands upon

Thousands of blind years,

     For we’re still singing war songs

And frightening the babes

So distraught as shells fall

And Martyrs scream battle crie...

None of You Truly Know.

     ‘They’ say they admire me, for holding back

On my fists, then taking a beating

For the mercy I give.

And oh to be in England during

The summer don’t mean a shit,

Unless shared with a Zulu

You’ve married and had kids.

And she’d tear you an arsehole if

You question her ‘Id.’

I know full fucking on, with the scars

She has give.

Dark Entry

     I believed we were going places,

Could feel the wave surge; our collective

Will driving forwards and gaining ground

Into realms with promise of freedoms and liberty,

     But then a death,

Your death, my death, our death

Stole smiles that spanned the globe,

And replaced them with the sneer

Of hateful - inhumane forms

Who walk among us,

The Comedy of Giants

     I once ran these hills without breaking a sweat,

And camped upon the summit of Englands tallest -

Singing punk lullabies at night, while

The stars danced merriment upon the eye,

     Those years were the personal victory

Of a boy who came from a town that only wanted

To cripple and belittle the shining ones;

To take away all that our elders fe...

Spite Britannia

     Her tunic bathed in the days work,

Has remnants of spittle,

Colours of spat medicine and blood,

      Her eyes – brown and beautiful,

Tired and distant,

Tell a tale of solitude

The horizon doesn’t want to see,

     Accompanied only by

An accusing public,

She keeps her tears private

For the drug addicts and forgotten

Children of tomorrow...

She Rang To Inform You Of........

     She is black,

I am white,

And it’s not about the colour,

     It’s just that,

Within the hatred of

Two opposing poles who

Look upon with scorn,

The love is even deeper!

Anniversary

     My night was fitful,

The sofa lumpy, warped and uncomfortable –

Old like I,

     Fifty years ago this day

I was born unto this world

Without a choice but to live

The rules set before I arrived,

     And I am no better off this day,

Than April Sixth Nineteen Sixty-Seven.

Gap the tired curtains have to off...

No More the Sea

     Even an immortal soul would expire

Before reaching the ends of the Universe,

For it is big, competing with time –

Perhaps in peril, where the

Sacred chalice filled with wine

From a cellar built from infinity,

Can bring back make believe

Deities now so desperately missing

From life,

     Oh how ridiculous the story of Man,

His chalice fille...

The Family

     You see that person standing there -

That bipedal quantum being,

They’re most important upon the World

As they calculate their daily living,

     They’re so accustomed to the pain

They no longer feel their worth,

But they inward weep for all

The troubles shared upon this

Dying Earth,

     And they’ve never really grown from

The days they slept ...

No Deal

     Nicey nicey now,

Ease the soft fuckers in,

Let them believe they make difference,

Let them believe they’ll win,

     Here before your court

A truth sayer begins,

Knowing full well his bairns

May be taken,

Killed or imprisoned,

Our Denial of Hate

     Within the realms of madness

I look infinity in the eye,

     My hands outstretched to cushion

A fall into a darkened state

But the fall is never ending,

Never ceasing or explaining

Only,

     Infinity’s unwelcome grin.

     Downwards I continually plummet,

Like a Halo Jumper

With no parachute,

     No DZ below,

Just an ...

If You Ain’t Soldier, Then You’ll Never Know.

Let every cunt and his dog know

You’re a weak minded civilian piece of……….

     Rome wasn’t built in a day,

Nor your life, or mine, or theirs,

Still holds quarter with all,

Gorecki Plays

     He was no narcissi,

He didn’t even like exposure

And despite the loudness –

Sought refuge in Gorecki,

His was a great misunderstanding

That in reality, became the pleasure

Of feeble minds,

     Rejected as sport,

Everyone he knew came

To lazy conclusions,

Enticed by an entity without heart and soul,

     He was as history told,

The Silence is Beautiful

     There is no reason on Earth they came,

No reason I could understand at least,

Twenty-three years ago,

A reception waited for he to return -

The frost from the Balkan Winter

Still fresh, still solid upon the lapel

That sported the Veteran badge,

A tired and slouched gait

Frequented bars he never knew the name,

For I don’t have the strength to admit -

Our lives lived are solemn among strangers,

With every pain killer you take,

All the pills of love,

All pills of hate.

On Being Seen

These are said to be human,

They breathe they eat,

They are equal to all

And all are equal,

Yet they have the power,

Power to take away

The pittance from a family man,

Power to stop a young boy,

A young girl from aspirations

With good working principles.

‘You’ve been seen!’

They say in their juvenile way,

And then it’s the food ba...

Bedlams Wake

     The Crafted hand and absurd mind

Seeks absolution from

Quartered soul of ridicule,

From the purgatory

And punishment designed

By deceiving devils,

     The Utopia gone,

All Space has grown only Hell,

Death itself no release

But an onward evolving

Misery.

Bestowed itself plain

Go on and press it,

Press the damned switch and let it be done,

Let it all be done unto Earth as it is in heaven,

That’s what they preach!

Where does she go between the hours

The Magnitude of Love

      Every sentiment has been written before,

Every ounce of love mentioned

In prayers and wishes;

Done in deeds and actions,

But we are born again

To say it over and over,

     And I’ll never tire of repeating it -

Will never succumb to

A weariness that defies

All emotion!

I am humbled from

Hello guys, I have a poem here that I have entered. It makes reference to space and distant galaxies and such, so I have included the latest track I have produced to go alongside it. It doesn't have any vocals to the track and is only there to add to the experience of the piece. I hope you like both the track and the poem.

A Crimson Respect

     A poppy – red bold in bloom

Hold’s sorrows head low and stooped,

The wilting pride of yesteryear now

Besieged by conflicting forms of politics;

Still bleeds the same as every death -

Every ‘Ypres’ since then,

Instil the battle never dies on foreign fields

Upon the souls of Britain’s

Sacrificial lambs,

A reply to anything and everything encouraged,

And make null and void - every positive thought,

No choice but to experience its wrath,

Such Fallacy As This

For from the obvious we’re born,

     No more heroes,

No more true delinquents,

Just distasteful decomposing memes

With visions that tease a humanity

Bereft of skills!

Should we dare dream

That feelings remain

Intact after the keel haul,

Chambers of Death

Makes liars and cowards of each,

Sends us brave into quarrels bold of design,

     And it’s very perplexing but oh so fulfilling,

Killing the gospel, for shilling and fare,

     And we’re -

Daring the speak of the masculine soldier,

Not wanting neither the truth or the falsehood,

Battling the conscience for doubt or for ego;

How I walk, 
How I stumble, fall 
Then gather my senses,
Get up and stride again,
     only,

Now I see the dead before me,
Slouching, crawling,
Staring and vacant,
Their last look of fear
Tells all; Quatermass
Be once again upon us.

Ghosts,
Ghosts of Mars extinguish
All life, and I see them too,
The same vacant look upon
A grotesque and disfigured face,

The Vile, The Disgusting

We have a new PM,

A burning of injustice fighter,

An unelected with assets that,

That wreak, of injustice.

But what does that mean to you,

What does it mean to a soldier?

Those willing to lay down

Their lives for freedom of country,

For freedoms of the Vile,

The Disgusting;

‘The Rich!’

Beyond the Bunker. 

     There is a contender - a threat to Man's 
Disgraceful history born of self,
It doesn't belong to Id, 
But seats itself firmly in a house
That comforts the lazy, 
     It totes a spliff of ignorance,
Getting high as it passes with 
Kindred that have 'done'
With themselves,
Shining their eyes with only
Murder in mind for anyone
Keen to disturb their pret...

A Worthy Fellow

    One day in deep regret,

With no affection upon myself –

I declared;

     ‘I have not done enough,

     There is yet more I could do upon the world.’

Is that you my friend?

Is that you?

Shouldn’t have left,

Should have kept the two twenty-six

The Dulled Compass

It’s still gorging on new found psychologies,

New found violations that incarcerate a soul;

New found sentences for innocent rejoice!

There is no rebuke,

No counterpoint - no random assertions,

No incriminations – just you, and I.

And you’re there,

Between scenes there are pauses to recollect,

To regroup, rekindle, revisit, admire and replay again,

But not for the reluctant actor!

Determined to ridicule life,

He’ll not conform to sadistic

Undertakings written with desires on wit,

If we valued all life,

A tenacious understanding

To protect all that’s living,

What breathed and gave fruit,

What lived by the Sun, Stars and Moon.

Apocalypse Song

     The human offering to war is quick,

Never fully thought through or negotiated,

     It is the dullest of symposiums

Where bombs blast the ears,

The body, limbs and head,

And it’s always bought and paid for –

Always money to protract

Its insanity,

     Always a labour force to

Manufacture the bullets,

Always a queue of fresh faces

Hi,

Just want to wish all poets a very merry christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Let's hope it blossoms into a year 'we all' would cherish. It prolly won't, but, don't give up hope.

A poet without hope, is a redundant poet! After all, it is the hope for change that keeps us going, keeps us writing.

Have a gooden.
