Port Talbot

Port Talbot

The city of steel,
Is the place where I belong,
Under its industrial cloak and working class reel,
Where talent is abundant and steelworkers are made from steel.
The city of steel,
The place where chimneys stack high out of reach,
And golden sand river from its arms,
Where identity and pride manufacture industrial charm,
The city of steel,
With its industrial predominate core nestled by the shore,
A heart pumping its flow with pride and identity,
And natures blanket covering close guarding hills smug with beauty,
The city of steel,
It's tomorrow shackled with greed and jealousy,
Tricked by fools promise sheltering black rats,
And caught by deadly bloodhounds hunting in packs,
The city of steel,
Whose children are forged not born,
Who will never repudiate but battle what you stand,
Until the safe return of their great land.
This is my city of steel,
Our city of steel.

Save the World

Have we lost control
All hell follow through
Taking it to the edge
Slaves to ride

Can't do much more
Crying for the world
War and terror
Freedom risked on wager

Weary and tired
Lonely and bruised
Not yet defeated
But are we determined

Join together
Swallow your pride
Make the right choices
Things can last longer

The world, bitter and twisted
Speeding to an end
Try to hold on mother
But it's all slipping away

Your hearts are empty
Mine is full
Too many guns
Feeling exposed

See what's happening
No good news
It's all black
Open your eyes

What about it 
We need it 
United together
Come join and save the world

One Night Stand

One Night Stand

My head shout it out,
My eyes clouded out,
My thoughts moved to treason,

My hands did not freeze,
I was brought to my knees,
My voice did not follow reason,

I stuck around,
Sitting on a flound,
Before I carried it out,

Parting my soul,
Fulfilling the whole,
Time I'd better get out,

For Your Love

Tomorrows sunshine a fingertip away;
A tentative soul willing to play;
A soul laid bare, fully exposed;
Formerly withdrawn, but now unclothed;
Through night to dawn;
Through black to white;
Through pain to pleasure; 
Through death to life;
Merged and committed;
For your love.

Sorrow

When my heart is hurting me,
With the hit of reality,
All my feelings contractually,
Take me to eventuality

No Love Just Whiskey

Bottle of whiskey all alone,
Full to the brim reaching out,
When is someone going to take me?
Feed me?
The thirst calls,
Waiting, wanting, teasing,
Aborting all rational,
One last sip,
One last taste,
Feeding passion,
Releasing doubt into the night,
Old friends play,
Confidence progresses at time passes,

Am I thinking straight?
Everything seems clear now,
My mind at rest,
I am the best,
Take me to the land of dreams,
Take me to the place whereby control is compromised,
Freedom!
Sure,
Strong,
Complete.

Freedom

Doff these shackles,
No longer I wish to tread the path of my forefathers,
Never again shall I sweat and toil,
And bruise and weep and bleed for greeds fulfilment.  
Neither do I wish to grind this chore,
Or hammer thy pick against the rugged face,
Or wheel black gold for others glory.
Instead, I will live in colour,
To enjoy every minute until my breath fades cold,
Each passing moment in this mad place indulged on my own terms,
Without tariff and without exception,
Without question and without remark,
Respect me for who I am,
Understand me for who I wish to be,
Then will I have true freedom and be at peace.

Bi Polar

When I loose control, 
All hell is inside,
Taken to the edge, 
A slave taken to ride,
Brewed to let go, 
Explode into play,
Bursting rainbow of colour,
Sensitivity breeds decay.

Keep the euphoria,
Under lock and key,
Bottle it up,
A stored fantasy,
Too little or too much
Scared of running wild,
Gentle human being, 
Needy attention seeking child.

How, I Never Said

I told you I love you, but never how much,
I said sorry, but never how deep,
And also thank you, but perhaps not how sincere.

You knew you were thought of, but not how often,
You knew you were needed, but not how you were wanted.
Always funny, but never told how much,

Of course, I never told you how much I loved being your son,
I told you to fight but not how dearly I wished you to stay,
Nor how comforting it would be to hug you again.

All of these words are reservedly for you,
Fragments of my heart, Fy nghalon wedi torri,
Never have any words been more true
How is from me with wholehearted love to you.

God bless you Mam

Religion

Venom prayers cause deadly stares,
Majestic temples but nobody cares,
Preaching martyrs on past glories,
Brainwashed children from embellished stories,
