Invasion


Invasion is a dirty, vile and uncompromising word
used indiscriminately for what in effect is,

‘I want your goods no matter how,
so why complain and expect something in return?’

Nothing much matters for us here in the West
idly watching film and television screens
whether large or small, carried around, attached,
as if some form of viral call to alarm us
of what is to prevail,
when in fact no more than useless idle chat.

There are a few


There are a few out there who claim
to be Christian and care.
While others do care and not claim
religion as rightfully theirs.
While those who profess and confess none
appear to own their vile unrest
persecuting all the rest.

None but us in the West
have to answer to a higher form
known as conscience
which no longer, in our case is the norm.

While others terrorise us from inside
they are actually making a statement
about how you have, in their land
terrorised for years and years.

Bombing indiscriminately, caring little
but calling it all ‘Democracy’.

Black lives matter


Black lives matter
or white lives are irrelevant.
Without open debate
between difference,
a growth toward humanity
does not exist or can survive,
in a future of immense need,
to communicate and relate
to all peoples of different culture,
ideas, understanding and values
of worthwhile peaceful ideals.

Open your heart


Open your heart
to goodness.
Spare yourself from pain.

Open your heart
to favour a humanity
one so solidly falling into parts.

For in this present terrain
violence is a normality,
heart broken society
and man, as woman
have failed to identify
with what in essence is their play.

To afford a guiding influence
for the coming of their future
and that of any offspring
they may begin to relish
as a given, a gift to protect,
nurture and value,
to the end of their days.

Can I be of service


Can I be of service?
I don’t suppose I can.
You are off to the Never field
where loss of love and man
has been bought and sold
over and over again.

Lose your heart and mind to a madman.
Lost sight of your worth.
Lose the value of your birthright.

Love of life as sacred
has been washed by violent means
corruption and greed
dangerous breeding of ugliness
and loss to goodness, kindness, care
and peaceful creative ideas.
