PHOENIX
YOUR WORDS.
SHARP AS NEEDLES LACED WITH VENOM
PIERCING MY SOUL BUT I DO NOT BLEED
YOUR FIST
LETHAL AS A WARHAMMER
BUT I AM A WILLOW
I BEND TO YOUR WILL BUT DO NOT BREAK
TOMORROW I WILL RISE LIKE A PHOENIX
AND MY BROKEN WINGS WILL FLY AWAY FROM YOU
AND I WILL BE FREE

Stronger than hate
There was never a God in our civilized world
Who commanded his people to kill

Written after last year's terrorist attacks in London ...

Our country's united
We won't be divided
Because love is much stronger than hate

Lumbering beasts that walked the earth
To the voice of a whale as it sings
Man came along and walked out of the caves
With a dream in his heart to fulfil
Believing all lif...

Injustice
I'm beagle or mongrel
A dog in the street
The one the van tempts
With its offer of meat
I'm taken away in a small, unmarked van
To be tortured and maimed
In the Interests of man
They handle me roughly
And stun me with darts
No time for compassion
Or warmth in their hearts
The pup on the table
Has wires in her head
Her eyes plead injustice
