Biography

I've been writing for poetry years. Some has actually been published. I'm especially interested in 3 liners, a few of which are below. I've had a short SF novel published, Trials of Nian Gao' - set in a future China, where the state uses various drugs and leucotomy in its prisons, to exact total submission. In the past I've written and presented plays, the last being about the Tibetan mass murderer and yogi, Milarepa. I'm working to expose how the Royal Society 'fiddles' its history, some has even been published. Set up by gays, heavily involved in the slave trade, it still restricts top positions to protestants, c/o the Royals - I'm an atheist!

The Forest within, the same in all directions Paths without end, but no way of knowing If there is a center, no way Free as a Poet, I can say what I want Within the confines of Law, but who listens No money, no weapons, am I really a cipher? Shaking like a leaf in the chemical winds Hands, mind tremble, nervous agony Is this really another nail in the coffin Behind the Haze, man having a fit Frothing, shaking, who is he? where is he? I pinch myself: a film I saw 2 days ago The Road to Ruin, preordained? Ancestors Too many, expiring without a question in Invisible half way houses, without name The end of this story, I know not A red river, brains shot out, mince like Birds feed on suburban pavements, again A disused church yard, a box of bones Bored teenagers, the smell of vomit on a shirt Then they vanish, into the sunrise Peace Bomb, blowing the back of my head out A silent rain, the unseen breeze, an elixir called spring, the scent of Oblivion
