Wit
Where were you when I was arrested at a public toilet for drinking
of a flask of brandy- the man beside me was a police officer out
to catch people like me who needed a drink to survive the tedium of
living in a provincial town in the middle of a landscape of cows
Where were you during the court case when the judge said I was
a disgrace, a plague on the backside of humanity, drinking in public
It is a serious crime, the buffoon thundered, throwing the gavel at me
It hit a guard in the head, who was knocked out
Where were you when I had to run the gauntlet of jeering reporters
and people pointed me out in the street, and a hush when
I entered a café, and the waitress refused to serve me coffee
You went on holiday in Spain, drinking red wine.
Life leads me in mourning on an anniversary day,
Among a bleak backdrop of ice and emptiness,
Pure indifference in my troubled heart,
I am sent from death in a new adventure.
Sent to separation in a small vessel
Through a stream of blood, numbed by cold,
I step into the new world in a stained robe
Carrying an old sin that others have committed.
An anonymous player on an imperfect stage,
With a disheveled appearance, a beret on my head,
I am thrust from death into stylish diapers,
Among void beings, I feel out of place.
I am the outcast of death in a frosty exile,
On a deserted island with a hint of infinity,
Beside humanity, an ocean of nothing,
A provincial in death, a nobody in life.
As I stand alone held in place
I am embraced
He's beside me
deep inside me
provident and prevention provincial
essence inside me
open mind my eye... We are One
So profoundly beautiful and intimate expression of spiritual connection, These words expect evoke a sense of surrender trust and unity with a higher power. Our Father as I stand alone held in place suggesting a sense of stillness and stability even in isolation. I am the equation as a declaration I am embraced implies the deep sense of being surrounded and supported. By an unseen presents my God the realization that He's beside me deep inside me. Highlights the intimate and interesting nature of our connection. Provident and prevention probable since inside of me suggests the sense of guidance protection and wisdom. That realizes resides...We our one

This beautifully designed
Spring, star-studded night.
Alive within these brave souls
Of courage, truly, a breathless,
Singular, moving delight!
I am not here to be an advocate
Only for me, a most piteous plea!
Yelping, as a child,pay attention to me.
But to also support oppressed
others, so far across the sea!
Kiiled with bloody, enthusiastic,
Antediluvian treachery!
Provincial~ oh, this I am not!
May freedom be, bravely begot.
Internationally, born thoughts,
Keep my soul high in flight aloft!
My soul tonight with immense
celebration, in ecstasy, caught!

Everything stinks, nothing smells, as smell is the province of the nose and stink the invader of such provincial boundaries.
A NOTE FROM MALCOLM
My advice is free, and time’s not billable
Try speaking French and I will soon know
Don’t claim a local or a provincial accent
It really does not sound as if heaven-sent
Nor a comment heard such as il fait beau
As the accent is always on the last syllable
As a teacher, these things do really matter
One must develop that Gallic look as well
Sometimes that simple shrug just says it all
From Southern Pyrenees up North to Gaul
Whether from Paris or le Midi, one can tell
In some regions, the vowels do sound fatter
So, let us practice the deep grunting sounds
And don’t forget all those hand gestures too
But accents can apply to letters when written
Cedillas, acute or grave never seen in Britain
Where just the plain and simple words will do
Whilst pretty perfume accents do the rounds
War weary wayward wanderer walking westerly
Sadly slowly striding shadowy suburban streets
Barely behaving bravely but blindly bound
Coldly click-clacking cumbersome calloused cleats
Tormented tattered tired thus temper tampered
Following faltering footsteps from frigid feet
Deeply determined denying darkened deadly deeds
Recalls rankled ridiculous rituals readily repeat
Loosely lackadaisically lumbering like lost lamb
Ghastly giant gradually greets grieving ghost
Posturing politely promising placid provincial palace
Hell's haven happily hinders Heaven's host
Rabbits go dancing in soft moonlit meadows;
Field mice, less boldly just waltz in the shadows.
Moles and shrews surface, but can’t see a thing;
Young thrushes and sparrows take flight on their wings.
Fawns go cavorting in wide open spaces.
Turtles shed shells and run naked in races.
Owls so enthralled that they don’t give a hoot:
Provincial living’s exceedingly cute.
Crocus choirs raise color-filled hallelujahs;
Queen bee lays eggs because that’s what she does.
Pansies and bloodroot are no longer dormant;
Solomon’s wardrobe ne’er held such a garment.
Young kits leave tree nests and begin exploring.
Cross Old Man Winter is finally snoring.
Temperate days have moods on the upswing;
Nighttime’s for frolicking when Mother sings.

An Old Warrior
This old man, sward in hand, takes a stand
against the Provincial, the Municipal man.
The power hungry, with all the appropriate tools,
who treats us, his constituents, his voters as fools.
Our voices are stilled, silenced by political oratory
as they convince us of the sincerity of their story.
They operate, under the radar, with impunity
whether they are innocent or they be guilty.
This old man, sward in hand, takes a stand
against the Provincial, the Municipal man.
I think that I have reached the end of my rope
as I battle with the powers that be, without hope.
Three years, ten years without satisfaction,
not the courtesy of a response, nor reaction.
Ignore, and eventually I will simply go away.
This is the game they both choose to play.
The powers that be will always get their way.
For us old warriors, not much left, but to pray

EASTER-
No little grandchildren, no grown sons or daughters, no family or friends.
We are in provincial lock down, thanks to Covid !
So this is the first Easter I have no excuse to "not have time" to put my
"Higher Power" first.
Covid, you think you really got us! Guess what you eveil thing?
You have just made it so that many of us, in particular me, seek my God.
Boy are you in for it!
I ask for forgiveness, for the safety of my family and friends, and for the strength to beat this Covid. I thank my Higher Power for keeping me safe during this stressful time.
Just as Jesus was risen from the cave so will he bring us out of this Covid.
Happy Easter, May your Higher Power be with you.
May you be able to see that the bunny left goodies for your little ones.
South China Tigers are, critically endangered
and are considered to be, “functionally extinct
They have not been seen, for some 25 years
only seen in zoos, with all those human steers
Their home is in forests, of south east China
and they live close to, human provincial territory
and there has been, an uplifted ban from China
for use of Tiger parts, for the human factory
Their natural habitat, is highly fragmented
and not large enough, to sustain their population
as it is humans, who have completely managed
to destroy their home, with human deforestation
China has 6,500 Tigers, in Tiger farms
for the now, legal trade of Tiger parts
and there are only 3,900, left in the wild
and those in zoos, are just made mild
