...The Schoolroom is the world
With God's wisdom unfurled
But fools govern today
To the oppressed's dismay

...NUMBER ONE AT LAST

Crouched over a desk with knees tucked under
Echoes of that old schoolroom haunt me still
The teacher’s comments as loud as thunder

The True Story of a One-Eyed Kid

...A doctor saved his eye
then he took it away
by hiding it from the boy’s face.

His hands were puppy dog tails
wagging blindly.
He played a game of Scrabble
with a Brail alphabet
as his only g...

A Walk To St Mary's Church

...A restless night, another hum-drum day,
Resolve to take a pleasurable walk;
I make my way towards St Mary’s church.
Across the street, a sixteenth century home –
Maltravers Manor, testament to ti...

The Dust Devil

...Loneliness the circles
In which the daydream never ends
I wish you'd go away those times
So I could find you once again

Perhaps a hole-in -middle whirlpool
The nothing that ever stays
A fist ...

Kummerspeck: Lisandro's Song

...Kummerspeck
(Lisandro's Song)

Little Lisandro (he's white, don't get
offended)
sits at a desk in a schoolroom he'd rather not be in
forced by people he doesn't know
to do what he'd rather not...

Conundrum

...Another dead from injuries
In this latest mad attack.
Gun-downed by a supposed friend,
She had no time to fight back.
The fifteen year old gunman
Has died by his own hand.
Because of him, two o...

I Remember When
