My Friend's Smile

My friend is not like the others, sensitive, yet simple, simply impeccable.
He likes to dress in bright, when he goes out at night
Gentle and quiet and doesn't like to fight
All alone in the club, he likes to dance, when given the chance
kind and caring beyond reproach, he would make a good lifestyle coach
dresses in style, helps all others, he likes to go beyond the mile
I'll never forget his friendly smile

My friend is not like the others, the best person that I know
He's a great engineer and full of good cheer
My how he could cook, we wanted to eat, just by the look
Spicy steak casserole, pasta with mighty meatball
We ate until we were full, he stayed just a while
I'll never forget his smile.

My friend, not like the others, quiet and liked to walk home alone
He would go out all the time, mostly without a phone
They saw him on the heath, watched him cross the street
Beat him in the alley, they broke his legs and feet
Fed him dogs excreta and told him it was a treat
he never fought back and died on that street
without any tricks or guile
I'll never forget his smile

Me and I

Hate is in a mans heart
Corrupted by actions of power
the murder of an innocent boy
Changes a sin into a joy
A president with ultra power
The strength and money
To hide behind a tower
Evidence changed, video lies
Influence of friends, keeping off the flies.

Prime minister smirk off his face
Doesn't care for creed or race
Anti-semitism blame the Jews
Racist slur always in the news
That's fine it keeps the heat off him
Making money for his friends
When he thieves off every working man
Why sit back to accept injustice
peacefully march, get your voice heard
Join together, question all, why are they so rich, yet your pay packet stays small.

British fuel is the most expensive
More than any country in the world
Question this, why should it be
hard to fill your car, it's your money
The tax we pay is beyond belief
Like pouring money into a sieve.
We have to pay to get to work
We have to bow to generalise
but listen to all is my advice
put people first for a happy life.
if you have all, someone has sod all
if I pays for me, who is really your enemy ?

Disabled or poor might be a bore,
Cut their benefits and have an oak door. A talking fridge, a brand new car
Intelligent alarms to keep out the poor
a nations speaks with eventual hate
You better keep locked 

your security Gate,
The worm will turn, the multitude will rise, to take your wealth

 your me and i's.

Killer

He hit her with a hammer, he never even saw her
Nine o'clock at night, It gave her such a fright
"Hello excuse me mam', she went to turn and BAM!
across her lovely head, they told me "Jane is dead"
A hammer cracked her skull and left a gaping hole
He dragged her in the alley and raped Jane's naked body
Sixteen years of hell, they had him in a cell
I waited for that day, his good behaviour paid
Released from prison see, to wander streets so free.
Untill he met me there, waiting on the stair.
I showed her photograph, he never even gasped.
"Well what dyou want me to do", from his mouth, it spewed.
I saw evil in his eyes, he laughed but I cried
thunder took my storm, erupted beyond norm.
His neck was in my hand, tight as a rubber band
I squeezed as if a sleeve, he couldn't speak or breathe.
I slid the knife from my coat, I cut his evil throat.
I drew the blood from him, now my life is through coz It will never bring back you.
They put me in a cell to live a life in hell.
I still have thoughts of Jane walking down the lane.

Boy

EGoing on, Growing strong, is your mind on fire ?
evil though your eyes may seem, your heart is with desire.
cut some coke,smoke some dope, sharpen knife on a granite stone
slash your blade into his flesh, how did your life get such a mess ?
trousers worn around your thighs, come to me with no more lies
stick your arse up to the world, life is hard, breathe in and smell!
the little boy, was so good, went away and joined the hood
hidden in alleys, selling drugs, to all our kids in the neighbourhood.
gave some coke to a little lad, thought that he would be real glad
return to you, buy some more, then sit down and take a little draw.
his father Dave was none too pleased, to find poor Joe in a mortuary freeze
now your life is not much fun with your brain gone from his short range gun.
I visit you, each and every day, hard to see you alive this way.
what boy was there, is not no more, I thought you'd grow and learn the score.
I thought you'd see the light of day, or end up in a lonely grave.
so sit, hum a tune and waste away, i'll come and see you another day.

Just by chance

Drive a train over the track jumper jumps ain't coming back
through the tunnel, light isn't red, steady speed, station ahead
round the bend into the light, passengers move back, mainly in fright
one stays steady looking left, toot the horn, leaps to his death
onto the front hit the screen, then under the train with a scream
feel the crunching off his bones, no return for young Tim Jones
nightmarish dreams, eyes still look, into the mind, the driver spooks
three days spare, then back to the tube,driving the train misunderstood.
memory fades in some time until another one under, is on the line.

Unfortunately for me I was born on a friday.

Soldiers arrived, they took them away,

no one knew why they could not stay,

They came with lorries and bundled them on,

asking for Country, Town, Date and then they were gone

First my friends, then my family

my brother, my mum and my sister Emily

gaping holes in community, soldiers with guns, masks, brutal slavery

they were there, now they're gone, gone away from me

I spoke to people left, one's left bereft

trying to find a cause for this sin

trying to find out why?, this state were in

but none knew why, or where they've gone

no one knew why, except they forced their way in.

I gathered reasons by questioning few, then many

English, Polish, French, Indians and those from Germany

I could not find a Reason why? but it wasn't ugliness 

I searched around, it could not be the wealthy or the poor

it wasn't what clothes were in their drawer

it wasn't race by the look in their face

I knew the population had grown, the evidence had shown

No jobs, no money, food was scarce

people fighting for a place to live

some had taken to sharing 

most were living in the benches or vents

in the open park and living in tents

After much research, blown away and bemused

there were no reasons that I could unearth

except the date of their birth

besides one born on a Sunday, Tuesday, Friday too

there were none left, not even you

Monday had gone, Wednesday disappeared, Thursday none

Saturday vanished like the setting of a sun

Then as if an explosion in my brain it was somewhat crazy completely insane

those in charge had worked a plan, drafted an army then it began

a birthright lottery to sort it out, not ageist or racist or a wealthy plan

born on a day they did not choose' would be taken away, gassed or shot then burnt in may

a great big pyre could be smelt, dust of bodies no longer felt,

 falling down as if it were snow, putting on a great big show

Jews were blamed for undermining wealth

In Nazi Germany, they were caught by stealth

yet this is a different state of mind, no one to blame, just a state unkind

They grew in power and had a plan, to take away the heart of every man

those that were left would beg for life, those were left had no wife

slavery and power will be their days bowing down to pay their way's 

BUCKET

THE NEED TO HAVE MONEY IN THIS WORLD TO SURVIVE
THE GREED IS THE NEED TO BE SATISFIED
WORKING  HARD TO ACCUMULATE
 LOTS OF WEALTH FOR A POSH FRONT GATE
A HOUSE FULL OF SPLENDOUR A NICE CAR TOO
A HD TV AND A BRACELET FOR YOU
SOME FINER THINGS ARE UNDER FREEZE
VENISON STEAKS, LADY CAROLINE CHEESE
BUT WHAT WOULD I BE WITHOUT A JOB
A FAT GUT BUCKET AND A LAZY SLOB

IF THERE WERE NO MONEY AND A BARTERING NEED
WE WOULD GO OUT HUNTING AND CAPTURE OUR FEED
TRADE WITH EACH OTHER FOR THINGS WE REQUIRE
ALL BE GOOD AND SING IN A CHOIR
KIND TO OUR NEIGHBOURS, NO NEED TO WORK
NO MORE EXHAUSTION, EVERYDAY A SHIRK.
NO PRICE ON ANYTHING, EVERYTHING FOR FREE
EVERYDAY A LEISURE WITH GOOD COMPANY
BUT WHAT WOULD I BE IF LIFE WERE A FOB
A FAT GUT BUCKET AND A LAZY SLOB
