RED

One hundred years ago in Pollockshaws
A man was laid to rest,
From humble beginnings to a martyr
They buried Scotland’s best.

A man who stood for the people
A man unshaken and proud,
Till the imperialist and capitalist murderers
 Connived...

Swear any day my chest might pop

Did you know
Did you know

Out there across the world
There's beauty past your imagination
So much to discover
I want the tranquility
Somehow, someway
Vietnamese country side soothes me

No phone, a washed up relic
Drowned earlier on the trip
Mother was insistent...

Helios’ children craved
But only Gaia had life in her fate engraved
With waters lashing oceans and tides
And lushy green lands to live by the sides
Her children were the...

the parents who love you all

African rape of democracy 
She is citadel of beauty,
Crown in all nature bulden 
Nature made her, her blessing of

Rape her raining to harmattan...

Don't start badmouthing again, putting your foot in your mouth
knocking your teeth around 
You saw the warning signs, you are not a rodeo clown
This isn't new to...

There is no need to take cover 

For he can stop the rain 
For he will be like morphine to the brain

Where are you?

Where are you?
The only one that I seek in day and night, where are you?
      Within every glimpse of my vanished sight, where are you?
You are the ultimate...

Oh me,Oh My

Here I am sitting in this corner, 
Wondering where my baby could be, 
I am once again a loner 
My little baby I just cannot see. 
She said she was going for a...

Well, so they tell us-
the political gladiators and
heavy weights. That in permanent
servitude we must remain.

They create a void in our stomachs,
which they momentarily fill with
what they carted away from us.
Just for their self will and...

If you sit tight, and promise not to spite
I will tell you a story, when I was not in my glory
grade one, a new chapter
who knew my teacher would be a captor?
that’s right! I said...

A dedication to my roommate

The way she left,
The remotes side by side on my bed she left
I remember the day I fought 
for the remotes to be left by my cot
I screamed
We were just strangers...

Wide-faced baby still crossing her legs, 
Shivering inside her own mother’s womb,
Her parts stay hidden from the ultrasound’s cold, metal screening,
Warm pool of darkness heating up as kicking goes wild, 
Already moving through mother’s quick...

Adrift upon the ocean  
bob a bunch of resting birds.
What is it that they call themselves?
A flock or school or herd?

Could it be this feathered colony  
is a band or horde at best

Days of endless struggle
More hopeful pills today
Trying to appear 'normal'
In some sort of way.

It seems that the struggle
Is always here with me
And I wouldn't be here now
If guilt would leave me be

I know there's been...

Better to be an honest and shrewd man than to be an innocent dolt,
Better to be an enlightened pagan than to be a short-sighted piece of flesh and bone,
Better to be a frugal voluptuary than...

As fallen amber from the tree of photographs of you and me
the tears I cry dissolve the pride of the world’s most foolish, loving bride
As paint cracked silver in the sun, as wash bleached brilliant...

Memorable moments mystified by gilted pardons,
Iridescent solicitude. 
Exclusiveness of me and you. 
Purge uncertainties born historically of mislaid intent.
Time presently misspent. 
Risked future wagered, 
Unbelievable carelessness. 
Could one ever surrender fate?
Retrospectively regretful. 
Oblivious to your...

when you're the only one whos sick

purely full of rage
no longer afraid of pain 
what are you anymore?

Often unfair instead of more just
Through problems can't always take a shortcut
If it serves no benefit, it's not worth much
For what?
I don't need to ride any tour bus
I was down to less than four...
