A forgotten victim of the system
An untold story of black British history Throughout history our voices have been silenced But what happens When they take it further and murder us? What about those who were permanently silenced? How will they speak up about how they were 'welcomed' with violence? But I have a voice and I will speak it The stories Of the forgotten...

Lines in the Dust
In the summer heat of '47's cry, A line was drawn beneath the sky. Not ink, but blood, not words, but flame— Two nations born, but none the same. Fields once golden, shared with grace, Now whispered names in a stranger’s place. Neighbors turned to fleeing feet, Homes abandoned, hearts incomplete. The Ganga wept, the Indus roared, As trains of silence onward soared. One carried...

Premium Member I Wonder
I wonder. I wonder what will happen when all the English dictionaries are burnt and Shakespeare is abolished as FAR RIGHT and Racist, and when the Beatles are vilified for 'She Loves You' when it should have been 'they them love you'. When the battle of Britain Begs an unreserved apology. When the British inventions Are cast aside...

Premium Member Destiny, the final milestone
My sizzling heart failing around the clock No light colliding with the dark to spark But essence dying passively through the dim Dream's wall burning by the fire of terror In a second, a sharp arrow infiltrates the soul And silently overflowing blood around its artery. Nothing emerged than an insane time, Everything not set as materialised There are volatile inheritance bloodstreams Follows to...

The British Seashore
On the cliff at the Worm’s Head High above the horns of the bay I see the surfers ride great waves With horses’ manes That ever fail, but never end In the strong Atlantic surge In the estuary at Dartmouth Where the oyster boats dredge Turning and drifting in slow shadow dance Great nets of shells are hauled up And poured out...

Sweet one, you are going to shine. My love will make you feel fine. The last 18 years will be over and done. You are going to shine sweet one. Lay your head on my shoulder.
