The Lay of the Best Man - Part 3

Siddhartha translation by Michael R Burch
Siddhartha (The Buddha)
by Hermann Hesse
translation by Michael R. Burch
In the house-shade,
by the sunlit riverbank beyond the bobbing boats,
in the Salwood forest’s deep shade,
beneath the shade of the fig tree,
that’s where Siddhartha grew up.
Siddhartha, the...

Surveillance
They keep watching
Forever observing
Constantly snooping
As the public keeps on fuming
For our safety we are watched constantly
Electronic eyes unable to account
For the nuances of human behaviour
Infiltrate all aspects of living
Criminalizing us
Laying bare all our sins
Intrusive watchmen...

Blowing a helluva Hooley
Rarely not windy
In the far flung
Squarely unfairly unsung
Seriously deliriously magical
Mystical..mythical Catlins
Rather adept at being
Scarily palaver kept..
Wild & warily windswept
Gusts crept not
Slowing then leapt
Boom & bust thrust lust
Not caring us despairing
Sussed trussed trees cussed

Paper and Other Excesses

And brief cases swinging on arms to boot,
Came around to the conference room,
"Computers will bring paper to its future doom"
That was back in ‘84,
When a young apprentice stood in...

Situations Deflated, Inflated and Conflated
Spray faith all around you lest you should go astray
Clinging to and clutching shells of emptiness
In your conformance to the spiritual and moral ray
That stresses naughtiness and pettiness
Hoping to raise standards
Steeped in diligence and...
