And You…
Veracity Truth it is an elusive thingDangerous for someAs Julian Assange was pilloried for telling itBut when maskedIt shapes the destiny of roguesAre you listening?You hypocrites who make a livingOr gain power from falsehoodsThe reality of your scheming is more and more evidentTo an ever increasing number of thinking observersSo take care when you goContinue reading “And You…”
For You Too
So You’ve Lost So you’ve lostYouWith your political inanityAfter years of your inhumanityWhen you blossomed on a tree of deceptionNow you’re an item in a trash canA piece of life lying in a gutter of forgetfulnessYour voice is drownedBy a gathering wind of irrelevanceTo be overcome at lastBy prayers of reasonWhat you did is theContinue reading “For You Too”
Hey There…
Endings Well here we are at lastSomewhereWorn out with lifeCast aside by chief executivesAs a penalty for ageingAdrift, but buoyed up by memoriesOf times that were differentOnce walking freely with no stickLeaping up stairs several at a timeHitting a boundary on that green swardTeaching as my other gameAlways employed when youngerIn classes that never endShoppingContinue reading “Hey There…”

And More New Poems
Integrity Is that image really you?YouWho have considerable influence on the lives of othersIncluding meIt’s amazing how many places you visitIn a single dayEven more amazingIs the presence of cameras there to film youAre you really a convivial, caring, wise paragon of goodwill?Or are you nothingBut an icon with manufactured identity?I hear what you sayResponsesContinue reading “And More New Poems”
