Best Rack And Ruin Poems


Where Is It All Going
Your governments throw your money to war,
But they have yet to even feed our poor.
Our roads are going to rack and ruin
But politicians cannot see what needs doing

They jump to fight the crimes of foreign states,
Whilst the crime at home reaches dire straits
They fly to...

Each dawn, the cold steps back a pace,
In the lengthening light the cold steps back
As the lands rise fresh and free from deathlike sleep again,
To play the full young mother dressed in life itself,
Strolling through the warming, waxing sun.

Oh! Dear, what are we doing,
Chaos, Mayhem, Rack and Ruin

Sadness etched on every face,
Truth and morals replaced,
By evil deeds
That feeds the human race.
All seem out of place.

Keep faith that we...

Unseen Hand 1

but while thou're inevitable thing
Dragon of evil, never refuse to pay this
coming always wicked unseen jaws

Roaring, hissing, hurled, it came to prey
lad, lady, lone, rode to pray
visiting the toddler, lingering the adult
jamboree sing dirge on candle night

Emissary of patricide, matricide
messenger of...

Exception
So much sorrow and failure I see.
All are shipwrecked in life's angry sea.
Be it illness, divorce,
rack and ruin perforce.
The exception, of course... will be me....

Clouds Turn To Waves
Clouds turn to waves

I feel so close to him
See our sameness
our Madness				       and I wonder

as I climb
an unmistakable chain
of events				               whether My path

a collective effort

The Moth
What is mist in my demeanour,
makes me fray when I am touched,
the thread is just a little leaner,
when the rug is pulled too much.

Adjust the light, 
reduce the glare,
the eyes will compensate the glow
with just the right influx of air,
the breath will gently ease its...
