Messiah
Betrayed for thirty pieces 
Of silver
Mocked, spat upon 
Flogged and crucified, 
How Messiah suffered and died.

Poisonous Ideologies
Stalin cared nothing for his people 
Mao Zedong was likewise 
Cruel and brutal tyrants 
Who slaughtered millions of their own people. 

And now let those who espouse the ideals 
Of communism, marxism, socialism and globalism
Learn the truth from the blood soaked landscape 
Of the twentieth...

Entropy
Order gives way 
To disorder 
I look at my reflection 
In the mirror 
And believe every word.

New World Order
Outside 
The streets are thronged with people 
Chanting empty slogans 
Mindless minions 
Dancing to a globalist agenda...

Time
Should time eradicate all my fears and doubts 
The painful memories of my troubled past 
The cruel and biting words from unfriendly mouths 
And grant inner peace and contentment at last, 
Should time with a kind and generous hand 
Grant fortune and favour among friends...

On Abortion
A society that legislates
To murder its own children 
Is destined to destroy itself.

Gathering Leaves
Gathering Leaves 
On an autumn day 
Bittersweet memories 
Of summer, 
Swept away.

Nature's Song
Whenever I hear the heavens sing 
Or see the sun shining down 
Or behold any living thing 
That walks on this hallowed ground, 
Whenever I see the earth in spring 
Fertile and blooming with life 
Or hear the birds sweetly sing 
Their joyful song in...

Dublin
Dublin city 
Along the quays 
Over the bridge 
Across the liffey 
North and South divide.

The Simple Life
They met
Fell in love 
Got married 
Had children 
Worked hard 
Grew old and retired 
To the countryside, 

      The simple life.

Political Correctness
As always 
The tyrant 
Wants to silence and oppress
By whatever means, 
Even political correctness.

In the Mountains
In the mountains 
There is silence 
  
         The peaceful contentment 
          Of a mind
          At one with...

Malevolence
Never in all the years 
Of the long dying day 
Will I falter before that cruel voice 
Or countenance the black despair 
That rises from the deep cesspool of fear 
Gorged on the churning cauldron 
Of malevolence and hate, 
Never in the bitter dying day...

Grief
The heart breaking expression 
Of grief,
The same 
In any language 
Colour or creed.
