Today, I loathe you. Today, I leave you, the sum total of all I won’t hang on to. Not an inch I sway, not a word I say.
Strong. I stand. I am. You are not.
Today,...

As hope and humility conquers all
Pride goes before a fall
So pick up your booth straps, tighten your belt
For this world will experience something that it has never felt

The Earth will rumble and shake

P OVER-PRICED IN CHRISTMAS

To hell with Hallmark and their bourgeois cards of greeting
Sent to wives from guilty husbands who are always cheating

Black crow surveys
Two sparrows chat;
Food for thought

Air-con leaking
Messy affair;
Slippery pathway

Telephone call
Old friend chuckles;
Brief encounter

And stood sucking her thumb
While her dog, Butch, got...

Handy Man

I am some handy man
I say to myself
So I grab the sander
From off of the shelf
I grab the sandpaper
I tighten the belt
When they see what I’ve done
Their hearts will just melt
I’ll sand those floors
Till...

I’m not a mad man
I’m not a mad man 
I do the cheapest deal I can
But of appreciable quality though
Coz I gotta save that dough

I am rolling out my plan
And the only thing you’ll...

Leaving Never Return
Leaving never return

I roll up my sleeve
Tighten the belt
Then inject the drug and leave

Some drugs take you by the lead
Heroin is a book to learn how to read
To meet yourself in a dream and not...
