Who Are the Politicians

I chuckle soft when people fume,
And blame the lot in suits and gloom.
“You see those leaders? All a scam!”
But who’s still selling free yarn?
Was it not your own cousin’s name,
On that campaign with matching frame?

The nurse who sighs, “This ward’s a zoo,”
Still checks her brows in selfie view.
She posts, “On duty, Lord be praised,”
While someone’s gasping, soul half-raised.
Yet when they moan the state’s unwell,
She nods, “It’s true,” then rings the bell.

The lecturer, with paunch and tie,
Reads ancient notes with weary sigh.
He shares some grades with knowing nod,
Then says, “This country’s truly flawed.”
He blames the youth for lack of grit—
While half his class just pays to sit.

The copper parked on potholed street,
Asks, “Where’s your licence? Papers neat?”
He grins, “Let’s talk,” with greasy grin,
While tucking morning bribes within.
By noon he’s shouting on the news—
“Society’s gone down the loos!”

We roast the system every day,
With memes and gifs in strong array.
Yet scroll past queues to dodge the vote,
Then mourn when goats are running boats.
We ask for change, yet shift no ground—
Just echo tweets that spin around.

The tailor swears, “Your cloth’s near done,”
But dances at his niece’s fun.
The mechanic says your car’s in queue,
But joyrides round like Fast & Few.
Then tells his mates, “This land’s a mess!”
While wearing shoes you just redressed.

The market lady shifts her scale,
And bags your rice with hidden shale.
The youth who screams, “We must rebel!”
Still ghosts his friend to chase one belle.
We all want justice, loud and bold—
But sow deceit like coins of old.

The pastor thunders, “Give and live!”
Then buys a Benz you helped to give.
He claims the Lord approves his flight,
While dodging tax in holy light.
He’s not alone—we’re in this stew,
From deacon’s pew to bus queue too.

So when next time you curse “the throne,”
Recall—it doesn’t stand alone.
That golden seat’s not self-assigned,
It’s built from all we’ve undermined.
To mend the roof, don’t shout and frown—
Pick up a spade, rebuild your town.

You want clear roads? Then drive with sense.
You want fair rules? Then stop the fence.
It’s not by screaming, “God will run it!”
While jumping queues with cheek and sonnet.
The mirror’s clear, it doesn’t bluff—
We are the system. That’s enough.

Soul and Thoughts

I swear , i saw my heart bleeding,
something like tick tock,tick tock
**** this, time she aint waiting for me,
I reminisce, more like jesus christ's
my love for her, juliet and romeo;
the real cameo, bony and clyde
too fast too furious,living life on the fast lane
men. this is a dream that will never ever end

but, here we are
the sun is up again
and am so lost in this game,
am like; can i sell my soul to the devil
she will love me with alil bit more chains and money
ooooh i keep thinking.

but i wont mind then,
fake friends will keep calling
real whores and real balling
real chains but we keep changing
diamonds are forever
but she is gone forever
if she ever loved me for me

but it is real funny huh, money.
how it wets that *****
goose chases become real.
these dreams,two bad *****es beside me
in the morning,two aks by the draw
real blood if you **** up,
whitesand by the doorstep,
am in private, staring at the sunset

but last night, i knelt and prayed
real life is real hard,too baaad, huh
because when i love, i love alot
the heart breaks, they come alot
will i ever give up on loving you?
i dont know? the heart speaks and the mind thinks

am a lil lost boy in the woods,
crapped up by the gangs in the hoods,
carried by adventurers in the boots
but hell yeah, right here, i find myself in you, huh,
you make my dreams come true, you do, boo, 
just the two of us, craazy little birds,
lets fly away in the clouds of love
fear not because i shall hurt not

huh.
but , a true dream right here, huh,
endless nights with long calls, 
i aint talking loos huh.
a real love story
real honor and glory
sorry to world , am gone *****es
my fingers in a ring
dont dial and ring
cause am gone,really?
am gone.

Matchstick Bikes

Matchstick Bikes 

To tinkers and toilers 
     I salute, 
From mending boilers 
     to weaving jute, 
Man and boy 
     for generations, 
I will unemploy 
     your occupations. 

To brewers in sheds 
     I sink a few beers 
To wet the heads 
     of our engineers, 
From flat cloth caps 
     to matchstick men, 
I will see the collapse 
     of pushers of pens. 

To bakers, tailors 
     I wish you well,
To the soldiers and sailors 
     who fought and fell, 
From doctors, nurses 
     to hobnail boots, 
I will give your purses 
     to thieves in suits. 

To the grieving docks
     I drink a toast, 
To tackle and blocks
     and shipyard ghosts,
From warehouses, workshops 
     to fishing trawls, 
I will flick my mop
     in empty halls. 

To union dues 
     I shake your hand, 
To cleaning loos 
     and farming land, 
From railway gauges 
     to industry, 
I will turn the pages 
     of history. 

To factory lines 
     I raise my glass, 
'Neath abandoned mines
     of times now past,
From overtime 
     to austerity,
I will frame the grime 
     for posterity. 

To the silent mills 
     I tip my hat, 
To what ever ills 
     and this and that,
From a steelworks spew 
     to a builders hole, 
I will stand in a queue 
     to draw my dole. 

To finance, the city 
     I bow in awe, 
To show no pity, 
     to flout the law, 
From sellers, buyers 
     to pickets and strikes 
I will slash the tyres
     of your matchstick bikes.

I bought Trumps book of poems, yes it's true
And I really think you should get one too
Because you just don't know
When tissue stocks get low
So, keep a copy of it in your loo... 

Trump sent kamala his poetry book
Said she'll have plenty time to take a look
Her wonky Kitchen table
Is now quite firm and stable
Kamala was pleased it no longer shook... 

Tom Cunningham 

If I’m ever gifted soup’s book
I wouldn’t even take a look
I’d rip out  poems by “Trump”
For use after I dump
The theme is pure gobbledygook... 

Jan Allison 

I'd use Trump's pages to wipe my hiney
And keep my toilet bowl quite shiny
Not a word would I read
About his need for greed
He's not a poet; he's too whiney...

Lin Lane 

Trump's new book of poems is a farce
He can't write a poem from his  a r s e
Fake poems galore
Are all just a bore
His poetry book fans will be sparse... 

Tania Kitchin

Donald Trump is down and singing the blues
Seeing his poetry going down loos
The thought of success
Had gone to his head
Now his ego is definitely bruised...

Beryl Edmonds

Written by Trump’s own hand
Is a fairytale about finance
His poetry book
For crooks to cook
Up a USA scammer plan... 

Karen Jones

Donald Trump is now the new boss,
Those Demo-Craps are paying the cost,
Trump stuck to his guns,
And finally won,
Fake news spread by the media lost.

Saved

Have a fresh start
To a brother that reminds me of him that left at home that is to come.
Part of me is put to take care of those that are brothers on the loos for a word they have are afraid. Those that have the power but afraid it might not be enough to keep them moving.Along the way they feel that the burdens that were told to leave to the master is too heavy but they learned very slow to give it up.
The sheep know that they are lost but still they try to find the way instead of just crying to the master, for the master cannot be too far to hear because he knows that they might go far than expected to go and that is why he  brought them  whare they got lost,
For the master wanted to know if they would survive the land that they are put into so that next time He the master can leave them to survive while they learn the jungle. For if the master does not leave the animals they might not leave to learn that they have a responsibility, which is do whatever you will, but don’t go on if you know that you are lost-for the sheep know their masters voice and so does He.
Where I walk is not the light I was used to and am trying to come back to the greater light that made me shine that I lost my way out of his ways, which are good and marvelous.
For I’m afraid of the responsibility I have for my hope may be to fail but the faith that is in me is greater, for the master has and said  I shall show you the way-but I ran away and am seeking a hand to pick me up for I’m down .a brother in hiding

[Inspired - with much gratitude - by Jan’s poem
There’s No Knocking On Heaven’s Loo Door
and Caren and Tom’s comments on it]

                 ***

The toilets in heaven are cold on your ass
The angels believe that they’re all made of brass
Turns out the reason the lavvies are cold
Is that all those loos are eighteen carat gold

Heavenly shoppers had been sent to Earth
And told to buy goods of exceptional worth
The best baths and basins and showers and so on
But do not return without something to go on

One of those shoppers was sure in fine fettle
Sought out some toilet pans in precious metal
He came up one short of his gold toilet goal
He needed another so that one he stole

The owner told me that that richest of loos
Was nicked by a bloke with a beard and no shoes 
One million pounds for my loo that was yeller
I said Jesus Christ! He said yeah that's the fella

So that’s how there’s toilets of gold up in heaven
They said there were two but there’s actually seven
But heavenly humans are not a bright species
And built up an accumulation of feaces 

They looked at the task from a different angle
And now drop it in the Bermuda Triangle
Sailors and pilots are frequently struck
And turn up in heaven all covered in muck

Although they’re in heaven they never seem happy
As they use the bathroom because they’re so crappy
It might be a rumour but what I’ve been told
Is they often cry out…
THESE TOILETS ARE COLD!

Loos, France, Fall 1915

Slaughter amongst the slag heaps
Bodies bowed over barb wire
Screeching, screaming
artillery arching above
soon to descend
amputating limbs
shattering skulls
blood and brains
splattering stains on
comrades too close
mixing with the mud

Grappling with grenades
Supplies short
London, Lancashire
and Lancaster lads
battling like beasts within
that Hohenzollern horror
hoping to hold it
Bayonets tear through torsos
Poison perfumes the air
wafting on the wind
back where it was birthed
menacing their own men

In Cite St. Auguste
citizens burrow into basements
as if Armageddon has arrived
or roam the streets like revenants
blank and bleary eyed
Their conscious mind
cannot comprehend
the malevolent madness of
what was once believed to be
a sane and civilized society

In the cemetery are set up
machine gun nests
among the monuments
As shells pound the ground
the dead are dredged up
as if to welcome the
new arrivals lying in piles
A sacred space sullied
by sadism
Schadenfreude

Flares flicker
Very Lights
to continue the fight
throughout the night
No rest for weary warriors
as no reserves arrive
to relieve them
Poor planning on the part
of generals pushing papers
and marking maps that
have no relevance to reality
ordering insanity

It has been more than
a year since Ferdinand fell
and Princip with his pistol
opened wide the gates of hell

Glastonbury My Guilty Pleasure

Reminiscing and full of nostalgia 
looking back over the years
A life full of joy and laughter 
though some occasional tears
But no real regrets 
Oh, maybe just one 
For at this time of year
to my mind it doth come

So why before I die
have I never been to Glastonbury
watching from my old armchair
     wishing it was me 
          wishing I was there

For despite 
     the rain 
          the mud
               the loos
euphoria is all I see 
     with babes in arms 
         and sixties hippies
this place I really I want to be
sitting here full of joie de vivre

To see those happy hippy souls 
     festooned
          bejewelled
               leaves me beguiled 
their visage truly says it all
they dance and sway the night away
a fantasy world of music and colour
this place is truly like no other

It’s never too late for me
to visit Glastonbury ~ my guilty pleasure 
     donning my happy hippy attire
          strategically placing my stick- on tattoos
               I turn up the volume ~  I'm ready to go

So singing and dancing the whole night through
at dawn ~ as I wipe the sleep from my eyes
 
I’m enjoying the luxury of my very own loo…

Her Final Tattoo

There was an old lady named Lindy Loos
Her skin was a canvas adorned with tattoos
Her back and her front were a fine work of art
But one final message she had to impart
For now she was old she had reached ninety one
Tired and weaker for her time had come
Her tatts like her soul were now creased and faded
No longer danced till midnight or walked unaided
And as the tattooist prepared his ink
Her life in tattoos, well it made him think
of a life laid bare through her many tattoos
For her final inking these words she did choose

‘No more words, no more skin
No more images to ink within
My life like my tatts is now fading away
As I wait for my calling on that final day
Like my tatts I wouldn’t change a single storyline
My skin is my biography so read it if you have the time’

And as he completed this poignant rhyme
She had already gone - for this was her time

Often people are quick to judge folks with many inkings, but these tattoos can be representative of the trials and tribulations they have had to deal with in their lives, for some are troubled souls whose only way of expressing their feelings is to have them inked upon their bodies.  I wanted to say in this poem 'please do not be quick to judge'.  I myself have no tattoos, but know many who do.

As I Lay In the Meadow

As I lay in the meadow of flowers blue sky and peace. I slowly drift to sleep  

Looked up at the sky 
Yelling asking why 
Took a bullet to the head 
Screamed good damn it
I was dead. 

Layed down in the grass 
This is death it will last 
Felt the blood rushing from my head 
Thank god I am dead 

My soul is now in heaven 
And my body is in the ground 
My heart is down in hell 
And I don’t make a sound 

Suicide was the answer 
The gun was the key 
Put the key in the door 
Im as dead as dead can be 

Down there my life had no meaning 
But up here im like a queen 
Living life with no regrets 
Living life were its not mean 

Waking up every day is a joy 
Down there it was fire and smoke 
As the smoke would burn my eyes 
And all hell would break loos 

Dad would always hit me 
Mum would always be high 
They never got over my sisters passing 
But just made me want to die 
Took their anger out on me
And never really spoke 
Just kept that bottle of jack 
And the pack of smokes

My mother and father never worked 
It was I who had to support 
So I wonder how they will do now…..

I’ve never felt freer 
Never felt more alive 
Never felt this happy 
Never wish to die…. 
As I lay in the meadow of flowers blue sky and peace. I slowly drift to sleep…. And suddenly wake up to speak.
