RELEASE

I BOUGHT SOME TIME IT DIDN'T COST MUCH

A HAND FULL OF MEDIOCRE AND THE TIME OFFERED CRUTCH

A MOMENT OF LISTENING, A WILL THAT IS FREE

A POINT OF VIEW I GIVE AND EYES THAT CAN SEE

DO NOT GIVE IN, TRY NOT TO DESPAIR, 

ALWAYS KNOW WITH GIVEN TIME  I'LL TRY TO BE THERE

FREEDOM IS A PROMISE,
ONE TRIES TO GIVE

YET THOUGH YOUR ENCASED WITH GHOSTLY CHAINS

INSIDE YOUR HEART YOU LIVE

LAZY?

I DON'T WANT TO GET UP TODAY, WHY SHOULD I ?
I THINK IM SUFFERING FROM A REALLY LAZY EYE
OR PERHAPS IT IS A START OF A FLU, A HEAVY HEAD I CANNOT MOVE
JETLAGGED FROM MY TRIP LAST MONTH, THAT CAMEL RIDE  GAVE ME THE HUMP.
THE DUVETS WARM, WORK SEEMS A DRUDGE
DON'T SCOWEL AT ME, I'LL BE THE JUDGE
I'VE GOT A LAZY BONE IN MY LEG
THERE'S NO REASON FOR YOU TO BEG
SO IT'S WITH A HARD HEART THAT I MUST SAY
I REALLY DON'T WANNA GET UP TODAY
SO PLEASE SHUT THE DOOR AND GO AWAY

Couple

Together forever growing in time, forever thoughtless in our state of mind,
Young and joyful, aged, endless youth
Twisting like curtains, changing the truth.
Binding together a beautiful breeze
Getting to saviour each others cheese.
I like stilton, you like Brie,
Cooked or on crackers with a cup of tea.
Free to go astray, yet choosing to stay,
Creating another wonderful day.
Ones life till weary, hold on for a while, then gradually fade away with a loving smile

stop

redundancies to save money, a very short sighted way of running a business
only if a business is likely to go bankrupt or profits are being eaten to the point of sinking, should redundancies be thought of.
hardworking staff are a value to any company and as such will turn companies losses in to gains
cut back for cut back sake is the beginning of streamlining a company from a large profitable company into a much smaller business that will strive to grow again into a company that it originally was.
There are other ways of a business saving money, such as cutting down on company meals/corporate Piss up's and perks for management and other such wasteful things, cutting a director/ etc's, wage by say, 10 percent of £120,000 is better than destroying a man's life and livelihood, a director/chairman can manage on a lower wage but for a working man to lose a job means that his family and children suffer
also cutting down on useless corporate training programmes that are of no use to company profits or staff
why is it that the worker is the person that always suffers, if a company doesn't want that worker then they shouldn't have employed them in the first instance if they could not see a long term growth. the answer to all is companies have to speculate to accumulate. stop cutting and invest in growth.

Minds eye of a dream

To dream in colour is a dream of truth
dreaming a twinkle for a unknown youth
premonition of a possible future
a film created by the producer
in black and white a nightmarish fright
deathly hallow, an unholy sight
monsters lurking, creeping prowl
a quiet hooting of a tawny owl
often awakened feeling loss
weeping in ones sleep to a realistic host
mental state of a perfect mind, working it out, trouble behind

CLEVER POLITICS

FREEDOM IS EVERY PERSONS DEMOCRATIC RIGHT

IF ONE CAN AFFORD TO GO ANYWHERE 

Little Sammy

Little sammy has gone to sleep
He died from a illness that caught him deep.
It is so sad he was a wonderful chap
I loved hugging him on my lap
That's where he was when he passed away, I cannot keep my sadness at bay
Two years old, so young to go, now he's gone, my life has a hole
He went from strength to weakness so quick, those days were short when he was sick.
After he passed I wasn't sure what to do, bury or cremate him didn't seem right, so I gave him to the bin men they threw him in the back.
Their truck seemed so apt, a perfect place for my little pet rat.

Good Intentions

I write for justice, for a point of view.
I don't care if all get it or just a few
I write to clear my mind to get my feelings known, if one or two understand my thoughts then please tell them to the blind.

I'm not here forever, just a short while
The same as every living life
Husband, Son, Daughter or Wife.
Be kind and care for one and other.
make apologies for misgivings
Give long and happy times together and celebrate the living.

Revolutionary Revelation

Blood flowing steadily progressively on,
through the stream, into the river, the sea and beyond
Man, adulterous fiend, grinning with deceit, nails through his hands, crown on his head
blood at your feet.
A darkening of day turning into night
storms gathering thunderously, stupendous fright.
Bow down in sorrow, cap on your head, pray for forgiveness from now until dead.
Cast into heaven or maybe to hell
Be honest in dealings and fair in ones sell.
When all is done, judgment come thy way, persecuted, hidden, as a needle in hay.
souls will be found from Easter onto may.

LOOKING UP FROM BELOW

I WANT TO BE APATHETIC
BUT I JUST DON'T CARE
I WOULD HAVE A POLITICAL VIEW
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
I COULD GET A JOB
IF I WASN'T A SLOB
I'VE MADE UP MY MIND
TO SIT ON THE FENCE
I WANT AN OLD CAR
WITHOUT ANY DENTS
I WENT INTO THE LADIES
INSTEAD OF THE GENTS

Crucifixion For Show

reflection squeaky clean, an image we must show

even though we're sinking into the mire, deep in a hole

generosity appears so appealing, yet the costs are rising high, up on the ceiling

political persuasion, pointing to depression, bashing middle classes without any feeling

everyone must pay for governmental decision, own political ends, with personal ambition

changing boundaries, creating a vote, believing any of them, will place you in the boat

the poorest of all suffer the most, being blamed for daring to take from the host

capitalism is ending it's days, coming to a finish, following socialistic views, crumbling to diminish 

excrement is excrement whichever colour they paint it, pretty on the surface, looking not within it

millionaires making money from corrupt decisions, bright blue sky idealism's, sparkling remissions

believers mostly take in all there is on offer, grabbing a bargain in the shop, a pound or a tenner

while the rule maker's change they're lives, extracting what is good,

muggers keep on mugging, boys from the hood.

unemployment rises high for another political game, creating a competitive fight, 

decreasing wage, Tory right, always the bloody same.

eradication of a welfare state leaving poverty in it's place, good looking ministers, smiles on their face

when all has been done and their's no more to say, people will follow people, come what may

ask more questions, seek more knowledge don't give in to them for a bowl of sweet porridge

living apathetically while governments change your lives, will leave you as a slave serving their wives.

future lives in Britain can only get more harsh, one know's we have no say, when they build an Olympic stadium on a marsh.

one small man is stronger with two, five thousand people can change a political view.

crucifying capitalism along with the wealthy, give your lives to being kind and supplement the many

Bethnal Green

Knock it down, Build it up
Pie and mash, Razor Cut
Eels and liquor, Salt beef stew
The real Eastenders
Beat the fuck out of you
Not the Eastend as it is now,But the Eastend as it was then
Boxing clubs all around, hard men in suits, hidden underground,
Foot Soldiers collecting dues, hard bastards, stirring up feuds,
Pawn shops there were a few along with a Population of wealthy Jews, Christian churches, Congregation of gangs, taking prayers then onto gang bangs
Pigs Heads and trotters, hanging in the butchers, Specialised tailors cleaning up sutures.
Racketeering, A percentage taken, leave them some to not leave them broken.
Pay your way or disappear, complete a column underneath Southend pier.
all said and done, there were those good, not involved but understood.
Living lives as good people do, working jobs in the East End Zoo.

Genealogical history

Roman or Greek
Muscleman or Meek
Christian,Muslim or sikh
Whatever flavour bubblegum you chew
naturally historical and true
the family you genealogically knew
Came from a descendant of Jew

SISTERS

Though your distance is far from me
I hear you hurting desperately
I feel your heart break at a quarter to eight
Mine does too but I'm asleep, tired from work and what I ate.
My eyes while shut, heard you sobbing, emptiness your going through
woeful feeling that comes from loss, numbness left since we haven't had you
gone are the day's of joyful play, family noise, from us girls and boys
I made a promise set to keep, that I would not forget them while you sleep
thinking of you everyday, a cherished compassion in your thoughtful way

never will I be without, the thought of you and what your about

a person in half though I be, thank god for my sisters that look out for me.

Think Again

Though a rich man I may be,
Within my life's a cavity,
A hole with which I'll never fill,
The speed of man without the wheel,
The family living over there, work so hard for an equal share,
Unemployed is what they are, without a television,phone or car,
His wife disabled that's no lie,
"Scrounge off the nation all the time"
My neighbours discreetly scowl and stare,"look at They're scruffy face and hair", "They have no money not even shoes", "why should we work to pay their dues",
I thought about this seriously and I can see how judgemental folks can be.
Although disabled that woman is, she washes by hand happily,
no debt or loan do they have by name. no secret fiddling, not on the game.
 If you say I work and pay tax for them, then take your time and think again. There's lots of people with so much cash, especially Cameron with his stash.
if you want to take your anger out, then take it on them with plenty, create a world that shares the wealth, helping those without good health.
Eight millionaires in the cabinet are not good leaders for us all, They don't care about you, they're never likely to share they're money pool.
A country that cuts from the weak, is the poorest country of them all, inhumane, unhappy, with a nasty streak. A man and woman, so desperate for suicide, from a government that's guilty of genocide.

CAPTIVATED

Living life as light as snow
Follow where the wind doth blow
Up high with tightened chest
Down low with bated breath
Senses heightened with the dream
Intricately sliced in a minute stream
Hallucinating pictures, colourful glare
Eyes translucent in a stare
Diamonds sparkle in the night
Ghostly Spiritual, images fight
Lucy swooning misty clouds
Dissipating thunderously loud
Harkening downward flight to hell
Crescendoing sound convincing sell
Tricked into a joyous haze
Believing magic, ending days

Euro

Europe is dead, don't tell a lie, it cannot be saved so why do you try
Greece is the start of the future ahead, Spain will soon follow whatever next
Market's are collapsing, leaders will fall, countries will tumble into the hole
The euro is spent, the dollar will follow, people will suffer, tummies left hollow
stop telling lies to families of men, capitalism's death will be death of us all
Earth in confusion, millions distraught, the filthy rich richer the children left naught
welcome the Deutsche Mark, Lira and Drachma, return to the fold of countries
much nearer.
change the name of money to love give people freedom get rid of that stuff

billions have power over singular health, take it away and spread the whole wealth.

THE LAST LAUGH

Emotionally disturbed from a trauma in life, expect to other people, seems rather trife
dedicated to uncertain future ahead, leading to what, has not come instead.
continue my friend, intricately send, a message to Rome or Venice
travel under the bridge of sighs, on a barge sending death to Clarice
the body of love entwined in a corpse with a demon that grasps at your soul
bereaved as loss of one so fraught, vine round a neck passionately sought
possession from hell taking evil desire to the lake of descent and burning in fire
hung from a gibbet, bodily bruised, went straight to heaven, the lords angels amused
people detest every fibre of breath that comes from your mouth and out of your chest
Satan has lost the right to the soul of a person who's life's captivated to hell.

traitorously tricked, forgiveness in sin, demon in hell, in spirit his win.

Bizarre

I woke up as if in a dream, your life was gone or so it seemed
I shook you firmly and called you loud, you did not stir, not a sound
The ambulance came and took you to hospital. Blue lights flashing, sirens and all. You lay there quiet, I whispered in your ear, you just lay there still, I held you near
so distraught emotionally collapsed
if death is for you my life would be trash
the doctors led me into the ward,
You were lying there silent, I rushed by your side. Then by some miracle you opened your eyes, I said to you through my tears, "where have you been"? You answered promptly without any knowledge "that was a good sleep, can you make some porridge"?

Rabbit Roadkill

Rabbit in the headlights, looking at me,
Rabbit in the road, that I couldn't see.
It was so dark, when you came from the trees, straight out, in front, too near to breathe
I tried to stop to some degree, all within the bounds of my own safety.

I have had enough of this stupid life
I wish I was in a field somewhere in fife
There is plenty of food up there to go round, not like this wood it's hardly to be found
Oh good there's a car coming this way, I'll run out of trees so come what may, right in front of it, coz I'm so depressed, said the little beige rabbit with white on his chest.

The two came together, sad story to know, rabbits have feelings and cars skid in snow. A C3 smashed hard into a tree, a man died and went to heaven, a rabbit chose to end it on a peaceful road in Devon.

Fortunately Persuasive

American friend, a letter I send, no reply, consider it a by
Jewish meeting, secretly seeking, the truth is there, out there somewhere
Italian singer, opera within her, bursting out in song, overpowering some, Romeo among
French foreign legion, joined by a nation, fighting as one, cut out a tongue
Swiss like to ski, living in peace, forever up high, never obese
Greeks are so rich, Europe's arse bitch, they like to screw, Holidays for you
Germans are swine's with power on mind's, controlling every person, slight smile as if chosen
Russia so poor, agriculturally sore, had it so rough, future is buff
Spanish omelette, potatoes in it, basques or catalan,  depends if they can.
English are kings, educated has beens, great in the past, never did last.
Norwegian are strong, viking's they are, long hair, big bra's, fine for them, if they weren't men.
it's an irrelevant insult from a biased view, thank heavens for god, who know's all about you
live another day, persuasion my way, choose to be nice, clean up your vice
my crazy frickin' mind, donating a dime, sometimes sublime, never on time.

Season

WITHER I WANDER,WITHER I DO,

FALLEN LEAVES, ARE WET WITH THE DEW,

AUTUMN DOES COME, CHANGING THE YEAR

FROM WHAT WAS ONCE COME, TO WHAT IS NOW HERE

RED, GREEN AND GOLD, THE YEAR HAS GROWN OLD

BEAUTIFUL COLOURS, BRIGHT AND SO BOLD

WITH IT A SADNESS, FOR WINTER IS DUE

TO TAKE AWAY SUN AND BRING IN THE COLD

HOW WILL YOU MISS HER BRINGING GOOD CHEER 

OUT IN THE SUN ENJOYING THE BEER

T-SHIRTS ONCE WORN, NOW PUT AWAY 

JUMPERS COME OUT, WIND IT DOES SWAY

WINTER IS CHILL, THERE'S SNOW ALL AROUND

COVERING THE TREES, GARDEN AND GROUND

BITTER AND COLD, YOU MUSTN'T DISMAY

FOR CHRISTMAS WILL COME AROUND ONCE AGAIN

SANTA IS COMING TO BEAR ALL THE GIFTS

A LITTLE BOY BORN, YOUR SPIRITS HE'LL LIFT

Chinese Army

Chinese army through the west, Chinese army, are the best


Marching through a land so dry, Marching on, through low and high


Continue into spring , Summer too, on they march, through and through


Chinese army won't be stopped, thousands march and thousands drop


On and on, feet are sore, tough and strong,  soldiers galore


Kill some Chinese, then kill some more, still they march on, more and more


Powerful pearl encrusted Armour, strong silver chain mail, finely polished dragon scale


Tips of helmet's encrusted with jewels, glowing bright, lighting hills


see them coming, run in fear, run to those loved one's you hold so dear


tell them quick of what's to come, a Chinese army with swords of blood


hope for rain from the hills, to drown the soldiers from the fields


be prepared for when they come the Chinese army are out for fun, sports of blood they shall play, against men who beg for souls and pray.

Chinese army passing through, leaving death in our view.

INNOCENT OF BLOODSHED

I'M NOT IN YOUR COUNTRY TO STEAL YOUR OIL

TO KILL YOUR LEADER AND ENCOURAGE A COUP

I'M NOT IN YOUR COUNTRY TO ESTABLISH BUSINESS 

TO TAKE CONTROL OR TO ASSIST YOU

WE'RE NOT HERE TO STOP THE THE BLOODSHED

TO HELP THE HARDSHIP, TO PAINT THE TOWN RED

I'M NOT AROUND TO CLEAN UP THE MESS

TO PROVIDE YOU A TEST TO BUILD A NEST EGG

ALTHOUGH IF IT SUITS YOU TO BE DEMOCRATIC

TALK TO ME IT WILL SEEM AUTOMATIC

WE WILL BUILD GOLDEN TOWN'S

PLACE OIL PIPES DOWN

AND ALL FOR A SMALL LOAN TO FEED YOUR OLD

YOU CAN PAY US BACK WITH YOUR LIQUID BLACK GOLD

WE PROVIDE FOOD AT A MODEST, CHEAP SELL

A LITTLE MORE OIL WILL DO JUST AS WELL

WHEN YOUR OIL IS GONE, OUR INVESTORS ARE RICH

WHAT THINGS HAVE GOT HARD? WELL AIN'T LIFE A BITCH

WE WILL SEND IN SOME CASH TO ENCOURAGE A COUP

MAYBE YOUR NEW LEADERS WILL LOOK AFTER YOU

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER, YOUR COUNTRIES RUN DRY

HERE IS SOME SEED, GROW WHEATGERM AND RYE

THE COUNTRIES LOST BALANCE, YOUR LEADERS DEAD

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WITH A BULLET IN HIS HEAD

WE HELPED YOU AS MUCH AS WE CAN

WE NEVER KILLED HIM, WE HELPED EVERY MAN

WE PROVIDED GUNS AND BULLETS TO YOU

ESTABLISHED DEMOCRACY IN YOUR BACK YARD ZOO

ENOUGH HAS BEEN SAID, NOW BE ON YOUR WAY
OR WE WILL USE OUR SUPERPOWER TO DEMOLISH YOU
WHAT ABOUT THE HUNGRY AND DESTRUCTIVE CITY
MAYBE YOUR RELIGION WILL TAKE SOME PITY

Hear no, see no, speak no

Is there no sound if I cannot hear
No screams and cries hurting one"s ear. No crying baby wiping a tear
No woeful sorrow of guilty fear

Is there nothing visible if I cannot see
No smacking a toddler in front of me
No punching a football fan in Chelsea
No stabbing with a knife violently

Is there nothing to say if one doesn't speak
No violent words do you beseech
No rashful chat or gossiping
No grasping anger do they seek
No sound or any leak, If I cannot speak.

If I cannot do all three
Hear, Speak or see
Should it have a chance to bother me
Could I feel the the hurt within me
if i cannot hear, speak or see.

QUIET GIRL

BULLIED AT SCHOOL, NO WHERE TO TURN,

CLOUT ROUND THE HEAD, MADE YOUR EARS BURN

THE LOUDEST GET HEARD AND SEEN AS GOOD FUN

BUT IT ISN'T SO NICE WITH A PUNCH IN THE TUM

TEACHERS ARE SYMPATHETIC OF THE BAD YEAR

BUT THE LOUDEST GET HEARD WITH ALL THEIR GOOD CHEER

TRY TO KEEP STILL, QUIET AND MEEK

HIDE IN THE LOO'S, PLAY HIDE AND SEEK

BY THE FIFTH GRADE, HAD TOO MUCH OF THIS HELL

WAIT BY THE GATE FOR THE SCHOOL BELL

SOON IT WILL RING FOR THE LAST TIME

THE SOUND WILL BE THE SWEETEST EVER CHIME

WALK OUT OF THE SCHOOL AND NOT TURN AROUND

THE QUICKEST THEY'LL SEE YOUR FEET HIT THE GROUND

FREEDOM AT LAST, GO GET A JOB

BUT IT'S ALREADY GONE TO A BULLYING YOB

THE OAK

DOWN THE ROAD WHERE I WAS BORN THERE WAS AN OAK SO CLEAN AND TALL

THE WONDEROUS BRANCHES UP SO HIGH, ALMOST REACHED AND TOUCHED THE SKY

IT GREW AND GREW YEAR AFTER YEAR, ALL WENT PAST BUT NOT TOO NEAR.

THE PARK IT CHANGED THE HOUSES TOO THE TREE WENT ON, JUST GREW AND GREW,

PLANS FOR BUILDINGS ALL AROUND STILL IT STOOD THERE SO BIG AND GRAND.

THEN CAME THE WIND THAT CHANGED THE WORLD , IT BLASTED IN AND MADE A SWIRL

DESTROYING ALL WITHIN IT'S PATH, BUT THE GRAND OLD OAK HAD THE LAST LAUGH

THE ELM'S WERE GONE, THE ROSE BUSHES TOO, EVERYTHING DESTROYED EVEN THE ZOO AND THE GRAND OLD OAK YOU MAY ASK?

STOOD STRONGER STILL AND SURVIVED THE BLAST

I'VE MOVED AROUND AND GONE ASTRAY, FAMILIES PAST AND GONE AWAY

I AM WEAKENED BY THE STORM THAT BLEW IN, LED ME AND TOOK ME FAR FROM HOME
ONE DAY, YEARS FROM NOW WHEN MY LIFE IS AT AN END

BLOWN AWAY IN HISTORIES BLEND
I HOPE THAT OAK GOES ON AND ON GROWING STRONG UNTIL WINTERS GONE

WHACK!!

PLEASE DO NOT HIT ME COS I DON'T LIKE PAIN
I KNOW I SCARE YOU BUT IT IS SUCH A SHAME
YOU HAVE TO USE VIOLENCE TO COVER YOUR FEAR
I COULD BE A FRIEND TO YOU, SOMEONE WHO'S DEAR
TO HIT AND BEAT ME WOULD LEAVE ME LAME
SQUASH ME FLAT AND DAMAGE MY BRAIN
BUT AS IT HAPPENS THE MAN LOST HIS GLANCE
THE NEWSPAPER MISSED AND RUINED HIS CHANCE
THE LITTLE PEST WAS GIVEN MUCH TIME TO HIS GAIN

AND THE SPIDER RAN OFF AND INTO THE DRAIN

CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER HARD

CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER, THEN BEGAN TO LAUGH
CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER BUT I HAVEN'T GOT A SCAR
IT WAS SO VERY PAINFUL THAT I ALMOST CRIED,
YET CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER RIGHT HERE ON THE SIDE
AFTER A LITTLE WHILE  I HAD COCO AND THEN A BATH
CHARLIE WENT TO BED AND I HEARD HIM LAUGH
WHY'S CHARLIE LAUGHING I ASKED MY MUM
"COZ DAD'S READING HIM A BOOK AND TICKLING HIS TUM"

HOW'S HE FIND IT FUNNY, HE'S TOO YOUNG TO KNOW
BUT CHARLIE LAUGHED HE LAUGHED AT ME, WHEN HE BIT MY FINGER SO
MY DAD PUT IT IN A DVD FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
I WASN'T VERY HAPPY IN FACT I WAS ANGRY, ANGRY AS CAN BE
THAT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WAS LAUGHING, LAUGHING JUST AT ME
I TOLD MY MUM IT WASN'T FUN, THEM ALL GIGGLING AT ME
MY MUM SAID I DON'T THINK THEY ARE HAVING FUN AT YOU, HONEY
TAKE A LOOK IN YOUR BROTHERS FACE WHEN HE LAUGHS OUT LOUD
IT'LL SEND JOY ACROSS YOUR FACE AND SPIN YOU IN A CLOUD

I WENT DOWN TO BREAKFAST CHARLIE WAS EATING TOAST
MY FACE WENT VERY WHITE AS IF I'D SEEN A GHOST
A WARM GLOW ROSE INSIDE AS IF IN A CHIMNEY
WHEN CHARLIE TOOK ONE LITTLE GLANCE LOOKING RIGHT AT ME
A BIG GRIN  APPEARED ON HIS FACE FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
I PUT MY HAND UPON HIS HEAD AND TOUCHED HIS LITTLE FACE
THEN CHARLIE TURNED HIS HEAD I THOUGHT TO HAVE A LOOK
BUT CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER, A REALLY HARD BITE HE TOOK
HARDER THAN I HAD EXPECTED HIM TO,  HARDER THAN I THOUGHT
CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER AND I DROPPED MY EFFING BOOK.

YOU

I SEE YOU IN THE BLACK DRESS

I SEE YOU IN THE BLUE

I SEE YOU IN THE PINK DRESS

IT REALLY SUITS YOU

PRETTY IN ANYTHING

IN MY MINDS EYE YOU DO

BUT DON'T WEAR THE RED DRESS

IT'S NOT VERY NICE ON YOU

I SEE YOU IN THE SHADOWS

I SEE YOU IN THE TREES

I SEE YOU IN THE FLOWERS

SO COLOURFUL TO ME

I SEE YOU ALL AROUND

EVERYWHERE I MAY GO

BUT DON'T PASS  TONIGHT
COS I CANNOT SAY HELLO

I SEE YOU AS A WOMAN

I SEE YOU AS A GIRL

I SEE YOU AS A CHILD

WHEN YOU INNOCENTLY TWIRL

YOUR BEAUTY STILL ASTOUNDS ME

WHEN I THINK OF YOU

BUT DON'T FORGET MY HEART

ONLY YOU COULD HURT ME TRUE

I SEE YOU SEARCHING ALWAYS

I SEE YOU CANNOT COPE

I SEE YOU DRINKING ALL ALONE

WHEN THERE IS NO HOPE

YOU ALWAYS LOVED ME ONLY

EVEN, WHEN YOU WERE ILL

BUT DON'T EXPECT FORGIVENESS

FOR TAKING THAT AWFUL PILL

I SEE THE ILLNESS DROWN YOUR JOY

I SEE YOUR SUFFERING PAIN

I SEE YOUR NOTE HELD WITH A PIN

NEXT TO THE BOTTLE OF GIN

THOUGH YOU'RE BEAUTY HASN'T LEFT YOUR FACE

WHEN I SEE YOU HANGING IN THAT PLACE

THE FLAT WE USED TO SHARE I SEE YOU HANGING THERE

SO DON'T EXPECT TO BE FORGIVEN THIS DAY

YOU COULD HAVE TAKEN THE MISERY AWAY

YOU COULD HAVE GIVE ME ONE MORE DAY

I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

I SEE YOU IN MY SLEEP

I SEE YOU IN MY EYES

WHEN I BEGIN TO WEEP

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO

I GUESS IT JUST IS MEANT THAT WAY

FOR ME TO HAVE TO GROW

THAT'S FINE FOR YOU, THEY NEVER EVEN KNEW

NOW I HAVE TO MOVE AWAY

MOVE OVER THE FLOWING SEA SO BLUE

ILL NEVER BE WITHOUT THE WARMTH

I FEEL INSIDE FOR YOU

NEVER WILL BE A DAY WITHOUT

MY LOVE THAT'S HIDDEN TRUE

I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE AGAIN

SO DON'T EXPECT ME TO.

Dangerous Driving

On Wednesday I went for a countryside drive
slid off the road and hit a bee hive
A mass of bees came swarming round
And stung me till I was hospital bound.
They Injected me with adrenalin see
To take away my misery
But when well again
I had the last laugh
With a petrol jug made out of glass
I lit the wick with a firestick
And Burned the hive
That done the trick.

SLIME

MY FRIEND VIC WAS SUCH A DIME
HIS TEETH ALWAYS GREEN AND COVERED IN SLIME
HIS HAIR SO RED AND FIERY TOO
LIKE HIS TEMPER' CHILI IN A STEW
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM
HIS NAN AND MUM
COULD HAVE GROWN UP TO BE A BUM
BUT KNOWING GINGE THE WAY I DID THEN
A LAUGH EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY
COULD'NT POSSIBLY BE ANY OTHER WAY.
YES MY FRIEND VIC WAS MY VERY GOOD FRIEND
IT WAS SUCH A SHAME IT HAD TO END

Thought Provoking On Leadership

The Leader is best,
When people are hardly aware of his existence,
Not so good when people praise his government,
Less good when people stand in fear,
Worst, when people are contemptuous.
Fail to honor people, and they will fail to honor you.
But of a good leader, who speaks little
When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
The people say, ‘We did it ourselves.’

~ Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher,
Founder of Taoism (born circa. 500 BC)

TRAMP

WENT TO A SHOW TODAY, WALKED PAST A DRUNK
I THINK HOW DISGUSTING WHAT A NASTY SKUNK
SITTING THERE ALONE WITHOUT ANY MONEY
PONCING OFF ME, IT'S NOT VERY FUNNY.
"GO GET A JOB" THAT'S WHAT I SAY
AS HE HOLDS OUT HIS HAND, TO MY DISMAY.
"I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR WORK TO PAY MY WAY",
"I'M 56 YEARS OLD AND FEELING SO ILL,
IT WON'T BE LONG UNTIL I PAY MY BILL".
"JUST AN EXCUSE" I HEAR MYSELF SAY TO THE MAN ON THE STREET,
HOLES IN THE SOLES ON THE SHOES ON HIS FEET.
"GO GET A JOB YOU WORTHLESS LOUT
THEN YOU CAN GET A HOME AND WON'T LAY ABOUT".
"I USED TO LIVE IN A FIVE BEDROOM HOUSE,
HAD LOVELY CHILDREN OF 3 & 4 UNTIL
SHE TOOK THEM AWAY AND THREW ME OUT",
"NOW I LIVE ON THE STREET LIKE A WORTHLESS MOUSE"
"WELL IT'LL DO NO GOOD SITTING ABOUT,
YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO BE WITHOUT?"
"MY ONLY SIN IS THIS, I SWEAR,
80 HOURS A WEEK OF THE HARDEST WORK,
IN A LITTLE TOWN, A PLACE CALLED WARE"
"YES, OF COURSE YOU DID, I SNARLED AT THE MAN
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT?.. AS IF I FROWN"
"I WENT TO BANKRUPT AND LOST IT ALL
SHE TOOK MY HOUSE MY KIDS AND ALL,
NOW I HAVE CANCER WITH NOT MUCH TIME
NO SUIT FOR THE FUNERAL, NOT A DIME.
I DON'T WANT HELP COZ LIFE'S THAT WAY
JUST A BOTTLE OF WHISKY TO HELP THE PAIN"
I KIND OF FELT SORRY FOR THIS MAN'S GRIEF,
SO I GAVE HIM 2 POUNDS AND FELT INSTANT RELIEF.
UNUSUAL STORY I FELT MYSELF SAY
THEN I GATHERED MY THOUGHTS AND WALKED AWAY.

FAMILY

I remember a family sitting together around our small but warm coal fire
A heat we felt was like no other or was that the warmth of my loving mother
coal cracked and spat onto the hearth, no feeling like it upon this earth
I pointed the fire with a poker to expose the flame that rose up higher
Mum told me "you're a fire bug" as she splashed water on the rug,
but then she went away and came back in with lot's of ovaltines and a mug for me.

All of us with such young lives, taking for granted food in the cupboard, like bee's in a hive
If only we could see, how it would be, a struggle to grow and the will to succeed
To earn a living and support our own, savings with cash, veg freshly grown
now growing old, remembering good times, I can still hear your laughter with the wind in my chimes
As a family we never had much yet we had warm clothes, good food and a caring mothers love.

Tories destruction of Britain (here we go again) Now more riots

I could not help looking back at the birth of the year of 2001 the beginning of the present decade, with the hopes and aspirations which we thought would have changed the course of life for the better for humankind as a whole, especially the British Working Classes.
In 1997 we had just seen off 18 years of a Conservative Government which slowly destroyed the Industrial base of England.  We saw the disappearance of the Coal Industry where we witnessed the state of affairs which leaves one to wonder how one woman could turn brothers against brother, fathers against son, and wives against husband, this did happen.

We saw the destruction of the Steel Industry where one by one the Steel Furnaces were closing down leaving thousands of people unemployed, while new steel factories were established in India, Korea and Taiwan, the jobs were taken from the workers of this country, and moved overseas for cheap labour.
We saw the privatisation of the Railways where the Trains were sold to one section of private enterprise, while the tracks were sold to another.  We saw the death of the Car Industry where the Car Factories were sold one by one to foreign investment leaving the workers without a means of earning a livelihood.
Even one of the most important industries we had the Rolls Royce Manufacturers of  Aeroplane Engines and Cars was sold to the highest bidder, when all of these industries disappeared so did the livelihood of the people.   The Miners strike was the most potent of all, hatred gripped the country, and all the other industries which were sold had their Trade Unions purposely destroyed.
Now here we go again, we also face riot,s for the second time with Tory government cuts, however the Tories are not completely to blame, there's no denying that a proportion of the blame lay with the Lib/Con cuts  but unfortunately greed has also reared it's ugly head with the want now, spoilt and selfish society that is today's Britain. perhaps if the Conservatives had not destroyed the social care and well being of friendly neighbourhoods, common care for one anothers interests and friendliness toward each other by making britain a money loving, independent and selfish society, then perhaps the riots taking place this week would not be.. however innocent people need protecting and a hard line must be drawn now before it is too late.

At the same time cuts in welfare and social care must be halted immediately and investment in our country has to be made before it is too late and there is no country left to invest in.

MY BROTHER

WE GREW UP IN A HOUSE OF FIVE
SOMETIMES IT WAS LIKE A HIVE
BUSY, NOISY, BUZZING AROUND,
NO WHERE COULD PEACE BE FOUND
FRIENDS OF US ALL EVERYWHERE
IT’S NO WONDER MUM HAD ANY HAIR
SUCH DIFFERENT MOODS
SUCH DIFFERENT SOUNDS
PUNK WAS PETE, ANDY ROCK… AND ROLL ME,
CASSIDY, BYGRAVES TOO
THE HOUSE WAS LIKE A BLOODY ZOO
ONE I RECALL AMONGST THEM ALL
THE TIME I STABBED YOU IN THE LOO
WHY’S THAT SPECIAL YOU MAY SAY  ?
IT’S BECAUSE THE DOOR WAS IN THE WAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BROTHER, FIFTY TODAY
A MILESTONE IN AGE
SO PROUD OF YOU THIS DAY

Mother Read To Me

The Reading Mother
I had a Mother who read me things
That wholesome life to a child's heart brings –
Stories that stir with an upward touch.
Oh that every Mother were such!
You may have tangible wealth untold
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be.
I had a Mother who read to me.

GOOD DAY

HAD A GOOD DAY TODAY
ATE KFC
BEFORE I REALISED THAT IT’S NOT GOOD FOR ME
NASTY MORSEL THAT MADE ME ILL
MY BELLY HURTS IT’S SO GREASY.

DRANK SOME SPIRIT
IT WENT TO MY HEAD
FEELING AWFULLY GREEN
I CAN’T WAKE UP DEAD!!.

KILLED A RABBIT WITH MY CAR
FELT SO SORRY, PUT HIS FOOT IN A JAR.

THE SPURS LOST TO THE GUNNERS
PUSHED OVER BY SOME RUNNERS
KIDS JUST HAVING FUN
PROBABLY THOUGHT, I WAS A BUM.

THATS THE KIND OF DAY I’VE HAD
YET I’M NOT FAZED
AND STILL I’M GLAD WITH MY ELBOW GRAZED

YOU SMILED WHEN I GOT HOME
SO WARM AND TENDER
RATHER SURPRISING SINCE OUR TIFF ABOUT GENDER
WOMEN ARE BITCHES
MEN ARE PRICKS
SINGLE MINDEDLY WE ARGUE, LIKE THIS

THEN YOU SAID, “I LOVE YOU,”  “I LOVE YOU TOO”
SOMETIMES I AM LIKE A BEAR IN A ZOO
YOU SMILE AGAIN, A LITTLE WRY,
GUILTY NOW, I BEGIN TO CRY
YOUR PASSION IS KIND AND SO SINCERE
I FEEL YOUR KISS AS I HOLD YOU NEAR
I MELT IN YOUR ARMS
EMBRACED IN YOUR CHARMS
THEN I WHISPER SO WITHOUT DISMAY, “YOU KNOW BABE”
“IT’S BEEN A GOOD DAY…
…TODAY.”

SHAMPOO OOOOH HOOOO

Most people do not realise it but shampoo’s contain many chemicals that have damaging and harmful results to your hair.
Here is a list of some of them chemicals that are in shampoo’s and body washes.
1 & 2) Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) Along with their chemical cousins, these are in just about every conventional commercial shampoo and body wash. The scientific jury is still out on whether these irritating detergents cause endocrine disruption; however several known carcinogens are by-products of their processing, 1,4 dioxane and nitrosamine.
3, 4 & 5) Parabens: methlyparaben, propylparaben, & ethylparaben are preservatives. They’re also likely hormone disruptors and environmental/potential human carcinogens. Avoid them.
6) Phthalates (fragrance). If your shampoo or body wash says ‘fragrance’ on it, it may contain these dangerous plasticizers. Yes, the same ones recently removed from baby bottles because of health concerns. These chemicals are immune system toxicants, and impact the reproductive system.
7) Formaldehyde. Formaldhyde often forms in processing or in use, and masquerades on labels as other named preservatives; doazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, quarternium-15. Reactions include allergies and neurotoxicity.
Toluene. An industrial solvent and VOC found in almost all nail polish and some hair coloring. Yuk!
9) Ethanolamines (diethanolamine/DEA, triethanolamine/TEA & monoethanolamine/MEA). These chemicals are emulsifiers and foaming agents, potentially toxic, and easily absorbed by the skin. They can cause liver and kidney damage, especially with repeated use. Avoid even the coconut-derived cocamide DEA/MEA, and lauramide DEA.
10) Propylene glycol. A key ingredient in brake fluid and antifreeze (not recommended for the skin).
So, what to use instead? I’m not out to endorse brands (or risk litigation),
My personal take on this is to stop using shampoo’s completely.
I stopped washing my hair with shampoo approximately 2 years ago and have had good end results.
It started when going for a haircut, I looked in the mirror to see the back, I had bald spot on the top of my head, obviously being paranoid about this I mentioned it in work, My colleagues exaggerated it as they do by extracting the urine  out of me, thanks guy’s you know I’m so sensitive sometimes, but seriously it frightened me, the thought ‘I might be going bald. I know eventually, I probably will go bald but if I could somehow slow it down, would be Good 
The next point is after considering it for some time i realized that I used Hair Wax and Gel very frequently for a spiky fashionable look and although it was very nice, my scalp was not breathing naturally, so I stopped using these products. anyone that knows me would witness this, my hair did feel much cleaner but I was still concerned.
One day whilst on the way to work, I began listening to a radio programme, there were people on it discussing the reasons why they had stopped using shampoos. I listened intently to this programme, then decide to try it.
RESULTS 
After a week of using just water I realised my hair needed a thorough wash than my normal quick wash.
Week one.. it felt very dirty, I was not happy, I decided that I needed to spend longer washing it. I separated my hair with my fingers and scratched clean my skull every day.


Week two.. My hair felt much cleaner after spending Ten minutes scrubbing it with shower water every day.

after about a month my hair began to feel hard like cardboard and greasy!!, it was at this point when I considered using shampoo again but decided to be more exertive with washing efforts and in particular drying my hair with a towel more thorough. I know the human body has a way of creating a healthy balance and I was hoping this might be the reason, why it was feeling unhealthy.
Now after two years I can honestly say my hair is shiny, soft and clean. I do not have to spend fifteen minutes scrubbing it, I just give my hair a good five minute wash and dry it with a towel.
I never use products on it just water. my skull has worked out a balance of oils and it is not in the slightest greasy.
I’m glad that I persevered with this my hair feels healthier than it ever has been and most of all my dreaded bald spot…..? IT HAS GONE. My hair is thicker, shinier and softer.
I hope that this is of some interest to anyone that questions things.. such as I do. EVERYDAY. Is it Just tabloid guilt flowing adverts that make you feel you are dirty if you do not use shampoo? most probably. 


UPDATE
29th December 2011


Still the same, hair is soft and shiny not greasy, five minute wash and a good dry every day.
still feels and looks very clean. there is no bald spot on the back of my head however, Iv'e found that I have a slight recedence  at the front, this means when having my usual cut at the barber I ask for slightly less off the top, although I never usually have long hair anyway.
please keep reading for future changes, but no shampoo is still the right way to go, even my barber commented on how nice soft and thick my hair is...... Pat

FURTHER UPDATE
31st March 2012


Have finally given up and washed my hair in a very cheap non-chemical shampoo
I think this was mainly due to health, although for the last 3 years of having no problems with this method and it has stayed clean and healthy, recently has become, quite greasy and although I am washing it thoroughly it was not improving, conclusion is when  your person is not in the fullness of health it does appear to show in your hair, strange but true, from now on I'll use shampoo.

Friends

My friends

Is he my friend?
How can he offend me?
My friendship request ignored
Oh god.. I'm so bored.

 I sent it last week
My intention is good
Still not accepted
That man is no good.

What a bloody cheek
He has so many friends
From Alfie to Will
But I'm not accepted still.

Well let me tell you people
I may ignore your request
I May accept yours as best
But the people I need more
Are the ones withing my chest

My memories are kept
Stored away for best
Feelings for those
Never will I forget

Acceptance on Facebook
Does not make you my friend
Notice of goodwill
Intentions of good
A smile and kindness
Has the affect that it should.

I never forget my true friends
All withing my heart
I will love them forever
 till death do us part

Even those I know longer see
Are special still to me
Friendship accepted
Until the land has no sea

Until blood has gone from me. 

Whatever the weather

Any chance for a dance on this lonely february morn, not a chance for a prance since the day You were born.
any kiss for a miss on this quiet summers  eve
Not a fish on a dish now would you believe

Any time for a rhyme on this rainy autumn day
Not a penny or a dime can get the sun to shine.

Where is hope

Where is hope

In the depth of sorrow,
filled with gloom
The sun shines through
A lightened room

In the middle of a haunting
That appears most daunting
A strength of need
Springs up from seed

Hope abandonment
A joy, is not left
New strength within
Begin again, begin again

Wait for dreams
Simplistic Isolation,
an act of watching
A life of passing by
Sit around, weep and cry

always a good hope
When life is in smoke
Never give in or go without
Not when there is love about.

Happiness is found, when none appears around,
Consider an end, at an end
Fear of hurt, in the past
Your desire is within grasp
abandon your soul
with a heart of glass.

let it last, let it last.

The Little Fete

Author - Li Po 8th Century

"I take a bottle of wine and I go drink it among the flowers.

We are always three ... counting my shadow and my friend the shimmering moon

Happily the moon knows nothing of drinking, and my shadow is never thirsty

When I sing, the moon listens to me in silence. when I dance, my shadow dances too.

After all festivities the guests must depart. this sadness I do not know.

When I go home, the moon goes with me and my shadow follows me"
