It came. It went. Apparently. I slept.
Just South the waters rose. One’s carried through.
Slight breeze. Dead branch clings on. Handshake stays put.
But tears…they fall. Yesterday’s news, a loss.
Yet gratitude must dry one’s face. Face it.
Head on, we fold our hands, and scrape our knees.
Let’s please the Lord above, as He renews.
In hands of Christ, we’re lost or NOT. He saves.
The friendship tree still hangs for all to see.
It’s scarred by weighty nails, and crimson stained.
It came. It went. Before we’re born, he bore
our sins. Christ carried on to death, and rose
again. Our gain. Dayspring on high, beckons.
Children, he calls. You choose. High Time. Don’t lose.
Rod Humphries was raging
As Keir Starmer came staging
You covid conniver!
Such lies lit this pyre'
Neath the sign of the Raven
He inferred of Keir coward craven'
Undeterred by a minder
He barred the sidewinder
Now more are wiser
We await a decider'

It is high time we gave credit
To those men who are not violent to women and other men.
To those men who turn away from hate and self pity.
To those men who have died trying to protect women.
To those men who turn their lives around.
It is high time that we gave credit
To those women who work with problem men.
To those women who put the welfare of children above their own welfare.
To those women who teach their children, that there are still good men.
It is high time we stopped ignoring the part drugs and alcohol
Play in escalating violent behaviour,
For both men and women.
It is high time we held to account
Those men and women who are taking advantage,
Of others when they are at their lowest point.
It is high time we looked at where money,
That is supposed to be used to address these issues,
Is ending up.
Hydra-headed monster, corruption
The master of our nation
In our face and all facets
Our progress' pace, it dictates.
Now it's normal, by christening
Made formal by rebranding
Existing laws are bypassed
News ones? Not needed!
Clerics, step up your say
Teachers, justify your meagre pay
At home, young minds must be disabused
This game, it's high time it ceased!
