While Caesar Watches For Brutus Part One
The world is so mechanical
It is so scientific
It's getting to be so-so difficult
Everything works at a fingers touch
Everything is speeded up too much
Neon lights the night
Smog darkens the sunlight
Time is to the seconds
While details...

Pain and Somnambulism
Pain is a solitary shaft of sunlight
piercing the fathomless depths of a wishing well,
reflected off the tin-can shards in dark prismatic waters,
refracted spears of realisation and the blinding truth they tell.
Looking backwards with somnambulistic vision
I...

There came a smile after the initial frown

So to arrange for another vote they speeded
Folks down there...

Empty Nest
Time crawled silently on soft paws.
After years of anxious waiting,
Our little nest became alive,
With childish pranks and prattles
Two adorable boys ran round playfully,
Making our silent nest ring with noise.
Still remember those hectic days,
When my...

Madman Chronicles
Staggered by the virus burning through the city veins,
Stop motion, speeded up, the slam of distant trains,
Rattled through the concrete as forgotten people die,
Howling jets of power chords go crashing through the sky.
The cardboard jungle...

this very troubled old maid
so beaten down by life
wanted nothing so but not to fade
without being someone's wife

and when she needed bad some...

Ballad
Leaves
Whispers as the trees gently swayed,
Each leaf having their own story to tell,
Millions of voices quietly Jabbering,
Incomprehensible to human ears
They prattled to each other,
Sometimes as people walked by,
They would rustle their leaves,
As to draw attention,...

He sang seven songs of freedom
Whilst his cat danced a jig
And his monkey rode side saddle
On this pot bellied young pig
And the people of the village
All looked at him in awe
For none had ever seen

Children of the Electronic Age

Many parents will know exactly what I mean
Kids, a time without technology, haven’t seen

Fred Enrolls In Obamacare
Fred Enrolls in Obamacare

Fred liked what the president had to say
Enrolling in Obamacare should be okay
Because affordable insurance he needed,

The government site came up right away

Beyond All Logic and Reason

Standing behind it, is a legion
The mystery continuing to deepen
Beyond all logic and reason
Occurring every season
Shining like a beacon
In any region
Where the terrain may steepen
Or remain even
Making the best of having freedom
Even though they want...
