I wonder why


Many times I wonder why life, all lives
are not treated equally
as one united force on earth
to breathe air
that is our lung and heart energy.

Why there is so much disparity?
Why men and women divorce
out of that passionate love?
Why children hate and not love?

Why difference in colour and country
defines our importance?
And why no-one considers peace and love
preferring hate and hurt and wars and such?

Madness coming in


Centre on me not
for I am cold
the weather
tremendously rugged
and no place I feel safe,
or so now I am told.

Who has the answer
for where I am to be
during this turbulence
twenty-first century?

Madness coming in
and flooding the possibility
of what in essence
is the divine creativity
and human compassion
for everything
God did invest in me?

Some have said that God is not real
and if so quite distinctly mad
making man a treacherous being;
for in this world God created
nothing of that richness
and magical happenings
is further to be seen.

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’.

Who are you


Say thanks
for what you own
and have purchased
within a safe zone.

Think,
that is not
what most other people,
refugees to name a few
are able to do.

They are on the run
from once safe homes.
Thanks not to you
war mongering, criminal few.

Who are you too …?
The people greedily feeding
at the corporation’s lot trough?

Who am I amidst this shame?


Who am I amidst this shameful deed
of killing and maiming
with utter belligerence and speed?

Who am I that shifts this blameful
shameful disgusting deceitful deed?
Who acts on my behalf politically
and shamefully agrees
it is another not them
that causes harm to those without?

Who is it that sits and shouts,
cries out?
Not those with a voice of care
about the violence done everywhere,
but political expedients
to gain what?
Surely not to line those corporate crooks?

Life goes on and we prefer to deny.
Why I ask myself? Why?
Is there some form in the West –
a type of belligerence
that prefers to deny
as a way to arrest – all that shameful mess
carrying on around the globe?
Denying what in everyone’s mind
is a Westernised drone mentality.
A type of deceitful game play.

I know I have my fair share of guilt,
shameful acts, deceit at best.
But who am I
pretending in the end
when my conscience comes in
and reminds me of that past awfulness?

I have to admit and own my deeds.
Try and correct my behaviour
for the future to succeed.
But who am I
when I fail to comply?
No more than a drone subjected
and allowing others to infiltrate,
excuse and deny.
