The deserted disheartened

The unwanted unwashed

In alleyways they sleep

Their future all quashed

 

 

June 26, 2012

 

 

The escape, the adventure, the

‘getting away with it’, the crack,

the banter, the raves,

the freedom, the hell, the

release, the pulse, the energy

The price!

The impetuousness of youth.

The sharpness of the mind.

If only they could bottle it,

a million dollar business they would find.

Climb to dizzy heights

Soar in the great unknown

Keeping one foot firmly on the ground

In case your cover is blown

 

 

 

 

 

The ‘more than mi job’s worth’s’

The men to get past

Can be bought for a tenner

If it’s slipped to them fast

 

 

 

 

Outsourced responsibility

Sub-let commitment

Second hand forgiveness

Mere peripheral gestures

All fragrance-free emotions

and a cop out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A fantasy climax is

no just reward for

a phantom pregnancy

with no umbilical cord

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bleeding heart of a nation

The lifeless rotting dead

Thousands of prayers never answered

for survivors, still  living in dread

Life’s journey is easy

until you hit the hairpin bend.

 

 

 

 

When the clouds fall to the sea,

and we no longer cease to be

And the mountains turn to sand,

as we destroy this precious land

All too late, with sorrow felt,

we’ll know we blew, the hand God dealt.
