Poems

I want to write a new poem

I'm needing to discover one

Yet, where on Earth to look?

Anyplace you want my son!

Another addict on the run

Sadly chemically addicted

Fey highs and lows and on it goes

Dirty heart and mind conflicted

One more inner voice on the outs

Cruelly biologically lame

Punk gene pools caught in the crossfire

Rocky roads rife with blame and shame

Another addict bites the dust

Madly chronically dependent

Sick souls hooked on self-absorption

Bumpy birds made less resplendent

If its beer forgets it, I don't want to come!

My wise understanding now having fun

Eat and drink wine, I pass on the grapes,

last time I partook I couldn't see straight

Aperitif or cigarette, whiskies on the go?

Oh, I'm so glad I'm gonna miss the show

The years have flown

And we have grown into old men 

Time did not wait

But at least fate gave us a pen

Life has been good

As well it should for all kind twins

No more regrets

But taking bets on final spins

Last moves now done

And we had fun along the way

No going back

But what we lack is not today

Alrighty re-righty I love what you've done

I believe here and now editing can be fun!

We longed to fuck her,

but we could've loved!

We said 'tis all a game

karma fits like a glove!

Let this be my Manifesto!

Here now-n-nothin more

Christianity problematic!

you're going out the door

Christianity 'tis the enemy,

no one devil's mean streak

this 2000-year-old science,

condemn that Jesus freak!

I screwed a lot of pooches

And dropped too many balls

I fumbled and I stumbled

Missing all the wake up calls

I got high on lead balloons

And badly crashed and burned

At length I came to nothing

Flouting lessons never learned

I routinely missed the mark

And fell flatly on my face

I blundered and I floundered

Fluffing off each self-disgrace

I executed poorly

And rolled way too many dice

By and large I came to know

Only love's what cuts the ice

Beyond the white capped sea

that sparkles in the golden light

Beyond the setting sun

that welcomes every starry night

Beyond the winks of time

that vanish in the flashing green

Remain the memories

that linger like a silent scream

Oh, show me the ugliness of power wielded wickedly,

I'll witness the brutal man's tyrannically violent eyes

A poem of redemption,

proof it's never too late

to Bob Marley our arse,

in positive accentuate!
