Black Eyed Susan

A poem from 2018

Split personality

Divide and conquer

Out of Africa comes a flawed goddess

Glowing and dying

Electric display

When winter comes she shrinks back

Fertile attraction

Sweet, golden nectar

Throw a blanket over the earth and dance

Sinkhole

A poem from 2018

Who would have thought it?

The ground swallowed us up

Sin by simple sin eroding the image in us

When marred beyond recognition, came judgement

Our world gave way without listening to the warning

We fell into darkness, made by our own hands

Yet still a hand reached down, offering salvation

Mirror image

Living in two worlds

Amazing soon to see

Flourishing real reality

Eric Arthur Blair

A poem from 2018

Nations rise and kingdoms fall

They fall upon the common man

The days are gone when kings led the troops into battle

One up, one down

A bleak existence

True poverty

Working every hour

Worship Mammon

Become poor

Defy Mammon

Court disaster

History fades

We forget

Past mistakes

Eradicated

All news is fake news

There is no independent source

All have a tale to tell

All have an angle to sell

Peace brings a rise in mental illness

No enemy to distract us

We turn inward

And devour our own entrails

Kingdoms rise and empires fall

They fall upon the common man

The days are come when kings throw us to the dogs

Thermostat Wars

A poem from 2018

“I’m really cold”

“I’m fairly hot”

...let battle commence!

Fish, Blood and Bone

A poem from 2018

A curve drawn on the ground

Friend or foe?

A friend will draw a matching curve

Upside down

Welcome, brother

Blood brothers

Not our blood

The blood of a Saviour

A fish who died

For our sakes

A fish, a lamb, a lion

Not a bone broken

Perfection

There He sits

Praying and waiting

And so we hope

And so we grow

And so we love

And so we live

And so we also wait and pray

Garlic

A poem from 2018

Purify my wicked blood

Be the healer of my flesh

Change my barely pumping heart

Lead me not in the path of evil

Grant me everlasting youth
