Asterix next to the clauseGet out that makes it possible to pauseWrithing free of the words deliveredJust another time you slitheredHiding amongst the thinned crowdAlways claiming how you’re proudProfess a line just to hear the cheersNo one willing to call you one of the peersWarped along the common faultHoping something will ease the haltWhile claimingContinue reading “Caveat”

Barrow
Stand upon my final placeEncroaching upon what is my spaceNot like I can say a thingThose days are so far goneAnd I know you don’t give a damnIf you did you wouldn’t be smiling Pour out another cupEvery compliment ends in butNot a shred of decencyLife filled with heresyWith no wish to repent a momentWordsContinue reading “Barrow”
Right Before Your Eyes
Public service announcementVotes will have to go through a recountIt seems some ballots were forgeryWhat a surprise to absolutely nobodyTo make matters worse new rules now applyNo more man hours will be devoted to trySo please be aware that the term is amendedMeaning the present servers period is extended Dissolution of democracyRise of autocracyCan youContinue reading “Right Before Your Eyes”
Rise
Rise at the dawn of a new dayDon’t listen to a word they sayStand tall and don’t back downThis is the time where you wear the crownNo jester, fool, servant or maidenYou control your own dominionSo shape your life as you chooseYou’ve got nothing to loseCause staying static is giving inThat isn’t the point ofContinue reading “Rise”
Recurring
Creeping down the corridorWill you hear the creek and roar?Nervous as a deer in lightThe darkness might give you frightJust before you turn the bendOnly to do it all againEach step breeds more fearThe pit is growing deeper hereThen a sound does ring trueThat’s when you stop and stewFeel the silence deafeningMaking you want toContinue reading “Recurring”
Blind With Sight
Two eyes can’t see a thingIt’s like no light is getting inSo break the stitches and actually lookIf you don’t then the world will be shookDo you really want that to your name?With it comes every ounce of blameWhat a burden to carry through timeBeing blamed for the most avoidable crime Two eyes that stillContinue reading “Blind With Sight”
Missing
Years gone by and still I don’t knowDid you walk or were you forced to?Empty home with no note to declareIt seems like so many got over despairSimply returned to the ways of oldNot quite sure when everyone turned so cold Yet, I still wonder what went downI’d have been blind not to see yourContinue reading “Missing”
Red Moss
Red mossIt spreads like wild fireThankfully it’ll never reach higher Red mossIt consumes all it canNever will it stop its pursuit of more land Red mossResilient as they comeNo other weed has been as cursed by anyone Red mossChoking all it does surroundNever will beauty win against its ruby shroud Red mossTaking all the lifeWhatContinue reading “Red Moss”
Dumped
Weave the wire right to the bonePush it deep but I won’t moanParalysed by the words you sayHere lies the grave of everybodyPushed back until they can’t speakWhat a fixture to take this weekWas I supposed to drop to my knees?Well I’m not being a part of this disease Pollinating what isn’t worth timeRight beforeContinue reading “Dumped”
Falter, Fall, Stall
Played the big man and talked the talkAll that was left was to walkBut courage was gone as was the wishFelt headless and on a dish Served up to the forever kingsThe ones to which it meant nothingSo now sit amongst the trashCounting all the absent cash Symphonies still plague the mindCutting right through theContinue reading “Falter, Fall, Stall”
