Premium MemberCOUNCIL OF WHISPERERS

COUNCIL OF WHISPERERS
they gather—
     the council of whisperers. 

their tongues are like daggers,
     sharp and jagged.

distorted by the lens of others’ eyes,
    each word, a falsehood, an inuendo.

they script the downfall,
     a play of betrayal where the protagonist stumbles.

they do

Premium MemberCouncil Culture

An initiative unforeseen
Supported by the Countess Aberdeen
Motivated several politicians and were
Encouraged to convene

In the year of 1920
When issues were aplenty
Delegates backed the Cork City charter
And elected MacSwiney, our dear martyr
Yet as many were to grieve
Others would also leave

They were faced with a new mandate
Upon founding the Irish Free State
However not everyone was happy
And things got

Council of the Wicked

As the man walks alone he sees the joy from the counsel that has become the Pharisees.
They have given the oath of rituals that pertain to the past and not for the future.
Looking at the actions and expectations, he sees them like the corrupted Phrarisees.
What they have done is go against the Edenic beauty of

Premium MemberCouncil of great minds

she whispers to the bluebird
early every afternoon
whispers in its ear and
it listens as if it understands

she dreams of peace
and they talk for hours
probably devising machinations
to make this world a better place

Message From the Council of Five

We come from realms beyond your sight,
A council bound by cosmic law,
To warn you now of endless night,
Should mankind fail to mend its flaw.

The stars have watched your rise and fall,
Your greed that turns to molten pain,
You spill the blood of one and all,
And mock the world with your disdain.

Each tree you fell, each sea

White Elephants

I’m sure ratepayers everywhere
Are aware of the many dangers
Of the cronyism to be found
At their local Council chambers

They build useless monuments
That will never make a buck
For vanity projects of all kinds
To feed egos run amok

All paid for by the taxpayer
Whilst roads and water are forgot
Common sense does not apply
To spend the rates financial pot

Management consultants

Premium MemberJerusalem Council

Some men came down from Judea.
They were teaching all the brothers,
Unless you are first circumcised,
You neither can nor will be saved.

They were teaching all the brothers.
So Paul and Barnabas went up.
You cannot and will not be saved?
This was the question that they posed.

So Paul and Barnabas went up.
They declared all that God had done.
This was

Premium MemberBefore the Council

The elders, scribes, met in Jerusalem
With Caiaphas and Annas, priests as well.
When Peter, John arrived, were asked to tell
The power used or name declared by them,

Then Peter, with the Holy Spirit filled,
Said, “If we are to be examined here,
The means by which this man was healed are clear:
The name of Jesus Christ, the man you

The exoplanet council's having a pow-wow
  Where are those amateur astronomers now

We've lost track of their telescopes
  Have all those earthlings given up hope

Optimistic that our lifeforms will soon be discovered
  Guess we'll have to wait 'til folks down there recover

Dear Council What Do I Want

what do I want

What do I want 
people ask me again
When I say that I'm being kicked out
I go to the meetings and I'm here again
with a laugh and a cry and more shouts

Eight years move by without much of a sigh
until now when it's all ready - too late 
What I want is space
