The Glitch in the Grid
The telescreens hummed their endless drone, A symphony of truth alone, Dictated, printed, beamed so wide, Where independent thought had died. Newspeak choked the rebel tongue, And every sunrise sadly sung The praises of the watchful eye, Beneath a manufactured sky. For years, the iron fist had held, A narrative so tightly spelled, That doubt became...

Off the Grid
Storm's brewing inside Idea of being behind Like a needle in a haystack You seek, I hide So-called friends were here but now, where? Years of realization, led to one conclusion Convenience over you An option, quite true Knowing it late but hey, no hate I won't be around fill the blanks throughout Using the lid 'cause I'll be off the grid. ...

It would be amazing to live off grid Just think no hustle and bustle No alarm screaming at you to wake naturally at dawn. One would settle into new patterns mainly following the sun hours labouring for one's self, no boss to answer to. building your shelter Getting water to it from higher up from a clean stream loving the taste sunlight from solar panels...

Off the Grid
I will uncover That which you did Mute yourself And go off the grid Here’s where you keep Your memento hid To boost its value Get off the grid So you think You can beat your taxes Hunt the landscape Sharpen your axes The true survivor Never relaxes Nobody ever much did You backpedalled Slipped and slid Turned tail and ran Clear off the grid To your sense of reason I make...

Puffinus Puffinus
Historical crooner, troll-like in burrows your eerie cries are supernatural. Lacking red, yellow and orange but you shear the air to make up for it. I walked a few steps around your island once. Got so tired in a day with sandwiches and pop. Marvelled at your fifty million mile journey from Bardsey, (just down the road really) to...

Off the Grid
I never travel anywhere Without my book at hand For jotting down my daily poem, No matter what I’ve planned. For likely I will have a thought I must commit to rhyme And therefore I must be prepared At any place and time. My little book must fit inside The shoulder bag I tote, Along with sharpened pencils To preserve the words I note. I keep an...

I remember things you said When you upset me Spreading hate for another You thought you could win me Your playful side at times Seems it’s all an act Is that the real you Is that all fact Knew you from before Music was the same Stayed away from you You played the same game Trade your breath with others Seeking all the fame Bunch of know-it-alls Now you share...

The Grid
A mother of eight Left to raise them on her own Damn that man...for dying And leaving her lost, alone A soldier of valor Stood his ground in the face of fear Now, he is court marshaled For the lies they wanted to hear A child hides in a closet Hearing every thwack of the belt Fighting the concern welling up To be experienced, processed, felt .......no...

Missing Off the Grid
At some point on the edge of this human trial of being frustrated, angry and tired I stopped posting for awhile, the exposes of this burning world on fire. Did you notice I was gone when so many others sang their songs? Sitting back, stepping away from the torrent observations on the earth left me...
