Allow Him To SpeakDoes he have something to say
Should he be allowed to say it
Maybe he should be censored
Stand around without an opinion
He is told not to offend
Not to say anything against the world
But who knows what he could do
What he would do if he could speak
But he has been beaten down for so long
He may have...

THE GATES OF WRATHThe ‘net’ is closing in, revealing a ‘web of lies’ Those who use AI and those who plagerise poems fool no one but themselves! Quote by poet!
A gossamer shroud drapes the old lych-gate
I’d hopes it would vanish, alas it’s too late
A ghostly poet rises from her earthly grave
I’m grief-stricken, why can’t people behave?

Be Your Own Life DJYou built the skills, you have done the work,
Faced every challenge, adjusted to every quirk.
Now comes the fork in the road of life that is yours to face
Grab the microphone of life with a warm embrace
A DJ doesn’t follow sound,
They craft the moment, feel the ground.
They blend the old with the new, create the...

On My MindWritten December 19, 2024
Constantly find myself looking for a thrill
Another day another week another year but still
I might as well be right back where it all began
Still looking in the stands for my biggest fan
Nothing compares to the fever dream
Yet I think I might be running out of steam
At times I dream of the corner...

The Little ThingsWhen I buy paper towels,
I don’t care about the ply.
I just don’t want boring white ones
And perhaps you wonder why.
Well, a towel with a picture,
Printed on each rolled-down sheet,
Seems to brighten up my kitchen -
Same with napkins, I’d repeat.
Some have flowers, others veggies,
There are those with bright designs -
Any type of printed image
With my...

Red, White And Black Blues
The white man stole their land
now the red man has the blues
the white man sold their families
and the black man's still ill-used
the white man shot the American buffalo
now the red man sings the blues
the white man put their people in chains
and the black man's grief accrues
the white house is to blame
the Government just the same
the...

Vive La Difference
After all these years
I'm the same as I ever was
still a child at heart
(plus some older parts)
I've not changed because
what was important to me then
is also true today
nothing and no one
will ever sway my way
yet unlike so many
who know not their station
and only identify themselves
by their occupation
I'm aware of who I am
it determines what I...

Peas In A Pod
I'm not like you
you're not like me
on that
you and I
we can agree
but
strange to say
and there's no mystique
Snap!
we're really all the same
in that...
we are all unique!

Who am iThe feeling of your mind loosing itself...
Victimized by the power of others ...
Thinking how you even aloud yourself to allow others to dictate your mind.... MANIPULATION....
What's real, what's reality, what's possible, what's impossible......
Racing thoughts,mind control,fear of loosing thy self.....
Coping with all the words and actions,determining what the is really going on...
Your beliefs,questioned by your...

I Hate You
"I hate you."
I try to pour all the hate my heart can hold
to say it again, a little louder:
"You must allow me to tell you
how ardently I hate you."
I’ve never spoken to you once—
not even looked at you for a full minute.
Still, I can't get your face out of my head.
What, what exactly did I...

Warriors
Mothers don't let your children
grow up to be soldiers
and march off to battle
without remorse or of course
a thought of regret
to get in the way
boys playing follow the leader
'We're only following orders'
the young may say
yet greed and stupidity
is the name of the game
either for land or in God's name
history has taught nothing
on judging it seems
and trudging...

It's Rude To Point
What's wrong with them Americuns
forever pointing fingers
always pointing guns
searching for someone to blame
never changes
stays the same
with 'Love thy neighbour,'
and 'Thou shalt not kill,'
religious to the core
hypocrites to boot
and what's more
shooting people children too
wondering why innocent die
and yet they haven't got a clue

When You're In A RushWhen you're in a rush almost every light is red
Part of the problem is not wanting to get out of bed
Fooling around and doing everything at last minute
Rush hour isn't rushing when your out there in it
Some things feels as if it requires too much time
Stopping on a dime isn't happening at stop signs
The normal...
