society is built upon –
oppression, discrimination and, ‘know your place’
one part of society wants equality and justice
and the other does not understand –
why it is wrong to don black face

Put My Hand Up – Written Friday 20th December 2019 (Aged 44)
ambition, would seem to be more understandable
than a, ‘i will give it a go’
i have believed in my talents
but your talents are only as good –
as the people who recognise them
in that respect, i am always halfway there
The Heady Heights of Isolation – Written Friday 20th December 2019 (Aged 44)
for the ‘patriots’
who wear the crown
we are now homeward bound
our cargo is safe
and nationality can wait
The Misuse of Power and Position – Written Wednesday 18th December 2019 (Aged 44)
i think –
people fall into bullying
without realising
perhaps –
that is the saddest of all
Unwanted Life Lessons – Written Wednesday 18th December 2019 (Aged 44)
my parents taught me (inadvertently)
how to manage people
with personality and mental health challenges
they never set out to
it was a by product
and a less with a syllabus
that required much application
Once In a Lifetime – Written Tuesday 17th December 2019 (Aged 44)
when the media
has no truth to tell
when it serves to serve itself
power seeks to confirm power
and ensure it is kept
He Smiles at Us – Written Monday 16th December 2019 (Aged 44)
his ‘war cry’
is not our command
compassion, empathy, kindness
that is our demand
but these privileged revolutionaires
will take us apart
Welcome To Your New Horizon – Written Monday 16th December 2019 (Aged 44)
powerful institutions only conserve power
and protect their class
they are abstract portrait painters
behind frosted glass
and you want this?
the green hills of england start to melt
the communities of commerce
have forcibly tightened our belts
Today Someone Picked Me Up -Written Thursday 12th December 2019 (Aged 44)
they looked at me
with doleful caring eyes
they made sure i could see straight
that my hope was intact
and that i was not worn out
Business Plan – Written Monday 9th December 2019 (Aged 44)
i should have been
a scaffolder
or someone who lays foundations
i should have been a architect
designing realistic foundations
