Be it Darius, Xerxes or Genghis,
Selim, Saddam or Sauron,
the West loves a Bogeyman
Blood-thirsty
Red-coated
Dumb animals
On horseback
Sunset swamped
By fragmenting rainclouds,
distant seagull lament
local School Fete
employs karaoke
Many songs die
Omnipresent Pollen
Ruins
a beautiful day
Sunday afternoon Spent
Re-pointing adequate brickwork
Birds laugh
Summer at last
even the Flowers
look Too Hot
First trophy
since Special One;
Not easily bought after all
Late May evening
Enya garnished
with Birdsong
A ramshackle monastery
Amplifies the Frequency of Peace
A glittering church
Amplifies the Discord of Avarice
Words and Numbers
Model Reality
Imperfectly
A curious Fix
that Breaks Perception
and Destroys Lives
Ignorance & Hatred
Far More Diverting
than truth & understanding
Beliefs frozen into Dogma
Principles eroded by Practicalities
Left & Right Crack on
Casual Acquaintances
abruptly Frosty:
Guilt & Awareness assumed
Unsuitable Shoes
Blamed
for his Son's Successful Save
Peaceful Sunshine
Undisturbed by
a distant helicopter
Sweltering Heat
Exasperated
by a Buzzing Bluebottle
Lost in Thought
Words forgotten
Nuances sought
Truculent Trucker, trucking truncated, intractable Truck;
Tractor attracted, traction exacted, extraction enacted
- dyslexical muck!
The compassion-free Child
Of compassion-free Parents
In a compassion-free Society
Requires a Label
A bend like any other
to Show Off to his lover
Frozen face upon her head
tarmac glistens Red
Open, admitting more Light
Closed, admitting no Error
Butterflies fight Reason
As the Market turns against him
Again
Lighter Evenings
Sprout parentless children
Alcohol and hormones collide
March 2009
Push came to Shove
and Villa fell over
the long winter
magnifies the Beauty
of a Vibrant Daffodil
Empty Promise
of saved seconds
Accepted in Exchange
for Decades
SS guard shoots the Jewish child
Israeli soldier shoots the Arab child
Brothers led by the same daemon
Tabloid Media
farming the weeds
of the Uncultivated mind
from a Mass of Mindlessmess
to a Reflection of Perfection
Shades of Grey Matter
Progress is Men Fighting
over a ball
instead of land
Saved by the People,
The Bank of Ozymandius
refuses to save
their High Street
Ronaldo dives again
and checks the Big Screen
for Appropriate Attention
Speed Limits
are for Other People
with more sense
Say Hello! to the veneerial disease
of Celebrity Culture
Say Goodbye to Integrity
Cheating Footballers
Berate the ref
for not telling Truth from Fiction
Monday Morning Rain
against my window,
Time to Get Up
..in a minute
Welcome Winter Sunshine
Softens the gaudy card
Into a True Valentine
