Best To All Intents Poems
It was a day of chaos
The day the pensioners struck,
Massed Mobility Scooters moving
Forward like a Rugby Union ruck,
Blocking all the streets
In the centre of town,
To all intents and purposes
Closing the city down.
The police were very tolerant,
Withdrawing their attack
After more than one officer suffered
From a wielded walking stick's whack.
The atmosphere changed
Soon after that
Lots of bonhomie
Banter and chit chat.
The action was called offi
Promptly at five to three
Thus allowing each
To be home in time for tea.
The action wasn't called
For any cause or good:
No it was carried out
Just to show they could.
Massed Mobility Scooters moving
Forward like a Rugby Union ruck.
It was a day of chaos
The day the pensioners struck.
Yes I’ve lost true loves bride
And in no one I can confide
From the world I wish to hide
Out on this loneliest road side
All I have left now is my pride
But that will keep me satisfied
Until this deep pain will subside
Out on the road I will reside
Beneath cold stars I will roam
Until my heart has re-grown
Walking long and on my owe
This long road will be my home
I’ll make the hard earth my bed
Under cold sky I lye spread
With rocks to pillow my head
To all intents I am dead
As the sunsets over my road
And the red colours do explode
Casting darkness over my load
The black over me at last flowed
We should pray, I have been praying more.'
I am maybe..Or was maybe not a strong
Prayer.' Yet I am becoming more aware of
Its major position in the setting of faith.'
I have been warching for instance the family
Of 'Rev Tom Horn' i don't know of his particular
Conviction in Chritianity.? Yet if he is saved.?
Which to all intents he is, the prayers appear
Superflous..' Yet in our human frailty we pray.'
As I have indeed bowed my head with his
Family, and prayed moved by the devotion i
See, So this highlights more the need to pray in
To unresolved situations of life in general if
I look back 30 40 50 years ago, the Christian
Nations Would have been called to prayer on
Occasions of tradgedy disease war threats.'
I can't speak for other religions.' I address that
Which I know most of.' So we see a different
World.' A supposedly more inclusive world.?
However what are the 'inclusions? And do they
Cause strength? I note in diamonds they are
Not. Desired' what of us.?
What if
the penny has dropped
but I neither saw nor heard it
so for me
to all intents and purposes
the penny has not yet dropped
and never will
not knowing this
I wait in vain
and wonder why
the fates
the gods
serendipity
are ignoring me
did I do something wrong
am I not worthy
so I take on board
this skewered reality
this misconception
and live my life accordingly
waiting
forever waiting
for that which has already occurred.
