Aww shucks
Still at the crux
In a state of flux
With reality still out of touch
I've been puzzled much
So I smoke a couple blunts
That's a double dutch
From dawn to dusk
I turned myself into a husk
Just so I...

Laying my head back, eyes closing,
reminiscing, the years falling away into decades ago
to the 1950s at my grandparents' grand home
for Christmas.

It was a gracious dining room.
Noontime sun streaming in.
Chair rail with deep red wallpaper, white...

scared of falling
ghosts are calling
the pavements getting close
wind rushing through my hair as if being played by ghosts.

i hit the ground
giving a bone cracking sound and people start to gather
they draw my body's outline on...

The price we pay for our freedom is not contained in a man’s wallet,
Nor is liberty a currency found in a female fancy Gucci pocketbook.


It’s not in anyone’s liquidity portfolio investment bank records,
Nor is it...

Like a weighted blanket but with intent as he wants to be close to me
Even by my side he ensures contact so I know he is there and he knows...

Ladies and Gentlemen

Hit it again Sam

Tickle that Ivory Joanna

Black velvet tuxedo suit

Tanned Brown Chesterfield Leather Booths
Polished studs out

Crooner poised spitting on the end of a Stainless Microphone

Either hand holding a smoking cigarette
And tumbler of...

My last day was not me knocking on Heaven's gate,
But a bus pulled up to my home, that was my fate;
Told to leave three pieces of advice and to be precise,
And men in suits...

There was a time I believed I was free
But that belief is long gone.
It perished in a shooting of a public place
And the men in suits sent their thoughts a prayers
And then hid behind there...

A photo of the near past

The year is 19O1, a market on a muddy field
selling, God knows what, I see cattle, and children playing around
the muddy ground, it had been raining in the morning
but this...

In Liverpool, England, there is one street containing 
all the Chinese restaurants, side to side, back to back
and stinking drain to sea.
where once a year,  twirling dragons pierce the afternoon air,
passing old men with...

POLITICIAN PERDITION

Do you find yourself analytical
When it comes to things political
Corpulent men in suits and ties
Cheat with promises and lies

With true intent we go to vote
To make choice of ass or goat
Labor, Nationals, Libs and...

Listen to the music of centuries
Remembering looking toward peace
"We must disentral ourselves"
The congressmen
Big black tires
Big black men,black suits
Siphoning your GRIT
The corporate war profiteers
Who are they as bats at night
Chameleons in all natures
Camouflaged at appropriate times
Demagogues!the...

ECHOES FROM THE LIFFEY.

I hear it loud and clear,
A clarion call for the Irish,
A call to awaken our inner strength and rediscover the true us,
Even the walls echo it.

Motherland beckons,
The lush green fields needs weeding,
The...

Sidewalks are full of people, yet no eyes do mine meet;
Taxis, by the thousands, litter the city street;
The sun is blocked out by high-rises with business men in suits;
I am a lost and lonely cowboy,...

Our church was old, brown, a block from downtown.
We could walk to Piper’s Candies from it, but Pipers was closed.
It was Sunday, in the fifties; everyone closed for church.

The people who came here were mostly...

They turned up in their Sunday best
To pay respects my mother cried,
I was not sure what she meant
I only knew my father died.

The hearse arrived, people shuffled,
Standing solemn, looking tense,
I heard strangers whispering
A strange affair,...

Snow is falling and floods are flowing,
people dying and children keep crying,
but he's just an ordinary man,
sitting there watching TV.

Icebergs melting and penguins starving,
men in suits talking and big guns firing,
but he's just an ordinary...

London, London the sea is no longer calm
The Wind blows violently
The God’s are angry
There is a new government on the rise
Elected to bring change.

Men in suits that know no pain
Hearts harden, Soul blank

From generation to generation
Men of authority
Men of power
Men of wealth
Have manipulated us.

A secret club
An unknown code
Far from human eyes
Fine wine, rare flowers,
Exotic parties, organise crime
Power way beyond our control.

Men in armour
Men in suits
You have taken...
