Dragged Through The Streets – Written Sunday 16th July 2023 (Aged 48)

Dragged Through The Streets

it feels like there is no compromise
and it has to be said,
i saw compromise –
dragged through the streets
it was kicking and screaming
pulled by its feet
modern life feels like,
i must be right
and you must obey
it’s not do as i do,
but do as i say
that is our so called new age way
but that is our dreams die
and that’s what makes despair lay
so, what do you think –
about all these dazzling trends?
when i was young –
i drunk up the feelings of friends
and i did what i could –
to unpack my hopes and dreams
and then,
i found myself in this day and age
caught up in narcissistic screams
it feels like there is no compromise
i think they’ve sold us a ten ton weight
and it was full of lies
this is our new age way
hate must continue to hate
and everyone wants to have their say




James Garratt – July 2023
