Best Defence Poems
Self DefenceBy the steeple, all the people
That said no to Mr Needle
All the people too suspicious
Got diseases that were vicious
For the reaper, avaricious
Finds the human too delicious
So deny the plan he’ll hatch
Take the sharp but tiny scratch
Don’t reside with all the people
In...

In Defence of Donald TrumpIn Defence of Donal Trump
He is a crude person, not one I would
like the share a coke with, but he has galvanised
the working class (middle class) which was
shunned under the previous administration.
The class forgotten by other parties have found
a voice someone who talks for them...

Grandchildren Last Line of DefenceAbnormal reactions,
Big stuff ups,
Countless mistakes,
Deliberate interference.
Everyday occurrences,
Foolish moves,
Give false hope,
Hear the anguish.
Injustice on the rise,
Judges on the take,
Known by those who have lost the use of their tongue.
Love seeds now uncommon,
Money in the hands of the few,
No relief in sight,
Only a few still in the...

Knowing, That Attack Is the Best of DefenceKnowing, that attack is the best of defence,
The defender in the court hit the accuser in face
And he feel very proud
Of what happened above
And, of course, he won this difficult case...

Shark Defence Frequenciesunderwater mysteries lye dormant
underwater frequencies run ramped
flippy grey floppy over currents and waves
floating boats poach and boast the most
flippy floppy tides sway coast to coast
choppy white water,
tidal wave caps
harpooning for big benji and da bloonies
illegal ignorant people
turn pirate and evil,
they don't even know...

Self DefenceIn your modern nation
Your civilisation
Is under a threat from miniaturisation
’cause one day they’ll make it, in China they’ll fake it
A nice compact nuclear bomb...
That Clips on a rocket
That fits in your pocket
And no one cares where it comes from
Taiwan or China or what could...

In Defence of Mint SauceI have Smelly Armpits and
Bursting to Go
but; I'm heading to the supermarket
the condiments aisle
I meet my neighbour
like conversing with a
pigeon
give me the full recipe
he says
he has arm wrestling
intelligence -
but how to get out of it
unsex me now
come, thick night
he talks about...

Haiku Defence - JsWill you flay me alive
To hold conventions that strangle belief?
Shall credibility dive
For cutting love free from chains of grief?
In your form I search for me
Not the hackneyed desolate rules that steer
Cowards to shores of misery
I hold my love and my heart must ever cheer
You are...

In Defence of the RealmBorn into a privileged position
The Gracchi and Kennedys were on a mission
A violent end was to be their common fate
With vested interests full of rage and hate
Their new programmes threatened the status quo
And prompted the dealing of the killer blow
Centuries apart, they both wanted reform
Championing...

In Defence of the LesserIn Defence of the Lesser
Then it was Sunday and the easterly wind
curled around the house rattling windows
the hooligan is in an intimidating mood
the rain came, big scary drops that held stones
and sand of hatred in its interior.
Towns drowned as rivers overflowed and
the old...

Self Defence 2021[A slight rewrite of my 2018 poem]
In your modern nation

Is under a threat from miniaturisation
’cause one day they’ll make it and someone will fake it
A nice compact nuclear bomb...
That Clips on a rocket
That fits in your pocket
And no one cares where it comes...

War and PeaceWar yields massacre
Peace defends with war
Deaths are unavoidable
To start a war with
Conflicts and quarrels
To ends a war with
Destructions and deaths
To start a peace defendance with
A war too
To end with
Destructions more than peace
No round table
Conferences and compromises
No logics
No truths
No limits
Everything can go
Wild and...
