English philosopher John Stuart Mill
His social and political theories are practiced still.
Utilitarianism thinking today -
Is it always the most moral way?...

Caffeine

Soothe my nerves
Soothe my soul
Like a cup of gold

Black as an ace
Bitter as aloe

Increase the adrenaline
Up the heart rate
Low blood pressure treats

Decaff is a joke
Ill-conceived beverage
Makes me want to choke

A true missionary,
Working among lepers,
Cared for poor, a visionary,
Burnt alive with his two sons by a mob,
Locked in his own jeep, fire fetters,
Imagine how scary,
Killed for loving others.

97 years a life of entertaining
Blessed by family and friends
A memory you have become
97 years for a new song to sing
An angel you will become
No more pain No more sorrow
Tears all but dried away
For you are a truly free soul
Now love will carry us through
A guardian from above you shall be remembered as
We love you uncle Stuart............

Christopher Black: with his big back-pack.
Liam Short; ironically he was.
Aiden Craven: his names almost matched
Simon Pal - and he was a pal!
Stuart Grove; didn't know him much
Matthew Huss; he sat on the opposite side to us
Adam Ponder, who used to wonder,
Terry King, the class-clown
Eddy Wilkinson, the deputy clown 
Should all be friends for life......

Just a  Haiku’s

You made me dumb drunk
I gave a  for your mind
It was just a 

Dim of mind you are
Thinking that a  is love
It was just a 

Paper bag o'er head
Is how I wished you to be
It was just a 

When I did  you
It was her face I did see
It was just a 

Regret meeting you
Nearly lost the one I want
You were just a

When I'm falling you always catch me,
When I cry you wipe away my tears.
When I feel trapped you set me free,
When I'm with you I have no fears.

We  started as friends joking about love,
Talking about fantasies we though would never be true.
Back then I was blind and falling from above,
But now my eyes are open and all I see is you.

I love you, Angel. I'm yours forever...

Fire and Ice

Ice Queen formulated veneer
Beneath a fire that all revere
Cold of heart, your reflection
Beneath a well of reflection
Grave, stark, frozen emotion
Beneath a volcano near explosion
Words, hard, cruel and cold
Beneath warm words unfold
Expression unmoving showed
Beneath compassion controlled
Fire and Ice become steam
Part of the universal stream

Kester

On an October morn
You were born
A bundle of love
Heaven sent from above
Through the years you grew
An Angel, who knew
You have beauty and charm
No one will you harm
Kind and gentle as a lam
The fairest in the land
Priceless is your truth
Honesty, sincerity your proof
You gifted me with more
Than I could ever hope for
A daughter wonderful and true
Brings me joy in every hue

A Time to Heal

The time has come to move on in life
Leaving behind the tears and strife
The time has come to start to feel
And let all the old wounds heal
Put away those fears and lonesome thoughts
Or your life will come to nought
Learn all over again to sing in your heart
So everything will become bright
Learn to laugh and cry with no bitterness
And you’ll be sure to find happiness
The time has gone for pain so real
The time has come to heal.

Surrender

Surrender to all am and all I’m not
All the memories and those I forgot
Surrender to where I am and the void
Places of beauty and the cruelly despoiled
Surrender to the pace of time and infinity
Moments of peace and those of morbidity
Surrender the mind and the heart
Love, laughter and the mindless blart
Surrender the soul and corrupt flesh
Angel and demon together meshed
Surrender the awareness and the ego
Dreams and chains, we let go
