Like sheep to the slaughter we voted them in, like donkeys we slave away at their despotic will, like a cat amongst pigeons they pursue and push at our connections, destroying our community but, like automatons they tread on unfeeling. ———- Like a lion they prowl and devour their prey, chewing the last juicy money… Continue reading Britain August 2022
Grief
Death comes oh so slowly for some, whispering in each struggling breath, holding them in its grip but tightly not letting them go to their freedom, gasping for air, painful frowns as medication is measured and relief is sought, but death comes too slow. === Death is sudden. Like a fist to the gut. No… Continue reading Grief
Super Wealth and Destructive Politics.
Curling leaves and cruel heat scorching the thirsty fruit, smoke covered faces and sweat soaked uniforms, telling the cost of carbon fuels. — Fires rage and ground cracks as the power of the few imagines that they control the climate for the wealthy who vainly want their profits. === Children with their empty tummies rumbling… Continue reading Super Wealth and Destructive Politics.
Ruinous Governments
Its a war on words and ideas that are just, they make a pact and renegade on the fact that you agreed their wielded written word’s; scorn you and laugh at your confusion and plot your demise, descending hope falls broken, and to cope is through tears, heartbreak and blood shed on your doorstep. ——-… Continue reading Ruinous Governments
Cruelty in Politics
The knives are out and the dissection started, Each knowing and set their direction signalled.. Tax cuts or higher tax to quell the over wealthy as they lean in and offer or finger their purses. Each one turning the tory vice on their victims: a family, school children, refugees and workers, the struggling overwhelmed by… Continue reading Cruelty in Politics

Cobbles!’ she shouted and tripping lightly, fell.… Continue reading I didn’t know that Cobbles were real!

The Seeking Pilgrim
Was ever thus, when the pilgrim came from the sea, fearing the return. —- They stayed in a still small island listening for the thin place and — finding only birds and the rolling waves, filling the air with music, when they looked for — God. In the waiting they smile at flowers nodding in… Continue reading The Seeking Pilgrim
Waiting in the Night
Twas evening, when the fishermen sail, the sun shifting to shine on other seas, Faintly glowing the far off stars herald the approaching night. —— the light slowly recedes from the shore, as somewhere a wise owl calls from a wooded glade, where rested roosting birds ready to wake the dawn. ——– The silken skin… Continue reading Waiting in the Night
