OK

It’s ok to think I'm disabled, it’s not ok to ignore my atheism;
It’s ok to know I'm firstly an atheist, it’s not ok to assume this has always been obvious; 
It’s ok to understand that...

THE GRIM REAPER (JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE)

This Grim Reaper stirs from another well-earned day of heavenly sleep
From within the bowels of this cavernous earth, from his cave, so deep

His cloak and scythe, been...

But there was one facet he thought of most of...

Spawned from the loins that 
Perpetuated the loyal serfs mongrel
Seed:-
These peoples of a conditioned and
"Resigned-To-it-all" breed.
Born into the enveloping tedium
Of interlocking days...Interwoven
With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives
When...

From the error of my ways 
in the blink of one's eyes 
falling backwards I called out

Inside the crunch mercy echoed 
as warm blood soaked the hands 
running through fingers...

She's dying over and
over 
From the insanity of
the missing 
The heart will
repair

She says life must
go on
I must go on
she says

I don't want to be
without him 
As she...

Gazing down along the zealously
Monitored borders of well clipped
Evergreen Privet hedges.
Standing watchful guard over 
Divisions
Re-enforced by concrete posts and
Darkly stained, wooden, wavy-lap 
Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes, petty
Grudges and childish jealousies -
Ably demonstrated by various
Patchworks of shabbily...

they firstly bow before Turvehr, their honour dictates,
honour is shown to the Dark man, 
whose great glory known, before coming of man.
The history, the mystery,

Although I take the blame, sweetheart.

World of choices, 
people of  different colours and choices 
poets write different perspectives for their audiences,  
Sometimes it depends on the locations of the poets. 
Someone who is writing  from Africa
 to be heard universally,

Beating the midday forlorn sun
By foot they begun the journey leaving the pun
Beware of the dangers and tactics to shun  
Between that time and reaching the destination without fun
Beholding the situation, carrying the bun

Edith had been suffering from shoulder pain
She'd developed a stoop and only her left shoulder would sag
When she went to see her doctor
He put all the blame on her weighty handbag

One afternoon she had time...

And stretching mighty or shaky hand to the horizon
He simply said to esteemed crowd:
