We are King Herod And you are infant Jesus We are flying our flags And you will bow
Your inexpressible joy
Will become inexpressible
Your life will become so intolerable
You will gladly flee to Egypt
Good riddance to you
We don’t want your sort round here!
Oh dear
My brain slowed down to zero
Can’t concentrate
Turned to mush
Just sit and stare for a bit
It will come to me
A middle aged moment
The words stuck somewhere
Between mind and mouth
Eyes roll
Bring my medicine
It’s all good
Which Way to go?
The one who isn't a dead end
Which Truth to follow?
The one who sets you free
Which Life to lead?
The one who sees it all
Those with conscious biases
Lobotomise the masses
Check your thinking
Bash bash bash
Tinkle tinkle tinkle
My musical taste evolution
She lived a fake life
She lived to tell the tale
She lived a double agent
She almost killed her man
She wanted so much to be real
She wanted so much to love
She wanted so much to believe
It was almost a perfect plan
These words are life and death
These words are Spirit and Truth
These words might get you killed
These words might set the world on fire
She turned her life upside right
She turned her life onto the best path
She turned 180 degrees
She lives for a better plan
But he’s kinder than you’ll ever be
He has a sweet spirit
He’s nice
He goes out of his way to help people
Shame on you
Shame on you
What goes around, comes around
Again and again and again
Like a clicking clock
Like a ticking bomb
Celebrate while you can
Again and again and again
Like a slowing clock
Like the LED flashing numbers of a bomb
A year passes by
Again and again and again
Like a stopped clock
Your heartbeat counted down to zero
It is always the time for revolution
It is always the time for self-righteousness
It is always the time for hypocrisy
Topple the statues, but leaves the idols in your heart untouched
Scream at sinners, but claim that you are good
Smash the state, but bite the hand that feeds you
If not now, when will you humble yourself?
Be the change you want to see
If this is the future you want, be very afraid
Keep me safe
Hide me away
It’s in your best interests
Shelter me from the storms
Protect me from the wicked
We’ll love you for it
Rejoice over me
Sing aloud, beat that drum
We give you thanks
Check me over
See if I’m defective
Keep me in your loving arms
A 2020 poem
I am sad
Mourning for a lost world
It is finished
I am sad
Not for myself
I’m flying out of here on a cloud
I am sad
How much longer
Humanity never changes
And yet
The actions of a minority
Destroy the bigger picture
A 2020 poem
Having eyes
He sees nothing
Having ears
He hears nothing
Having a heart
You get where this is going…
Nobody admits they were wrong
Nobody admits they are proud
Nobody against nobody
Nobody backs down
No shame
No guilt
No fear
No sense of self awareness
Words do nothing
You see this all the time…
Dog against dog
Dog eats dog
Dog chases its own tail
Dog eats itself
A 2020 poem
Wearing a smile
And yet a bag of bones
Putrefying, stinking mass
Bubbling, boiling
Troubling, toiling
Wearing a scowl
Choice morsel of anger
Arrogant, fetid mass
Self, righteous
Self righteous
WYSIWYG
Or maybe not
Is it in the eyes
Or in the soul
A whole hole
Inside, be clean
Outside, be bright
In God’s image
Shining, light
Shining light
A 2020 poem
A 2020 poem
Holding on
With a vice-like grip
To every last shred of human dignity
As it departs
Piece by piece
The forgetfulness
The vomit she sits in
The yellow stain of wet appearing
Ringing the bell
Falls asleep
