David Mcsorley Poet Rhyme

Free Thought

Raise a glass to all who care
About civil rights and the Koala bear
Save the planet, spare the rod
Make them listen, ride roughshod
Assume that we're ignorant, tie back our ears
Open our eye's year upon year
"Please let me through, let me go to work"
"Just Stop Oil" said with a smirk
Glued to trains, who's idea was that 
The men who pay these idiots, Yes those prats
Disrupt where they can, disrupt everything
Nothing will stop them till the Fat Lady sings
They wreck havoc each day with total impunity 
Disrupting our lives away from their communities 
Selfish actions that can affect our lives
Not to their families but our children and wives
Enough is enough now, let us decide
Not to be bullied into taking your side
Your actions disgust me, I just want to be
In control of my thoughts which I once thought were free.

David Mcsorley June 10, 2025 at 5:01 AM Thank you for your response, sorry I've been so long replying but got disillusioned and stepped away from here for a while. As usual though poetry always drags me back. I'm still angry at these people but there are so many more opinions being forced onto us, I wonder will it ever end.

Jan Allison June 19, 2023 at 1:50 PM Their behaviour is despicable - I wonder how they get to these protests areas to wreck havoc - in cars/ buses - how ironic hugs jan xx Jan Allison June 21, 2023 at 1:12 PM the snooker championships was horrendous too, and the art galleries - mindless morons get their 15 minutes of glory and a criminal record but nothing deters them:-( hugs Jan xx David Mcsorley June 20, 2023 at 6:50 PM I'm sure they would have but the security had special powers to ensure no one could get near, which was great but now we're back to letting them do what they want....what they did at the Chelsea flower show was disgusting all that effort and time wasted....I felt so sorry for the designer Dave xxx Jan Allison June 20, 2023 at 7:40 AM I have been appalled by their behaviour - was worried they would try and sabotage the coronation - wouldnt put anything past these idiots. hugs Jan xx David Mcsorley June 20, 2023 at 3:24 AM Hi Jan...Nice to hear from you...I know what you mean, they really infuriate me and the authorities just let them get away with it....one good thing they got me writing again though Dave xx
