I heard their words; the Bushman’s a art. Those ballad’s come straight from the heart. They tell of trial and tribulation; the deeds that made this, our great Nation. This is our history, more true than most; of the glory … Continue reading

Puppetry
Who is the puppeteer who pulls the strings; who is the master makes us do these things? Who tells us that that path is our way then pulls us back if we go astray? What is the reason for walking … Continue reading

The road to Hell
There’s a path I’ve heard that runs through Hell; some come out crippled, others well. Along this long meandering way there are signs that we can play. But as folk wander down this trail the beauty that it has does … Continue reading

Spelling
I once knew a man who could spell, and he could do it very well. He’d spell words that were quite long; he knew where each letter did belong. It’s most obvious that he was old ‘cos he spelled word … Continue reading

This World
The suffering that is this world makes futures plain to see; a world where we can be anything, as long as it’s not “free”. A world designed to crush us beneath this constant weight of fear and pain and punishment … Continue reading

The Gumboots of Godliness
I walked upon the water but my socks got very wet so I guess if that’s enlightenment, I haven’t got there yet. Maybe I just need gumboots to keep the damp at bay; maybe it’s just the gumboots that are … Continue reading

Walk on the Wild Side
When worlds crumble upon my heart it’s then I need a fresher start. Get away; mind free from fear; see the world a lot more clear. A simple walk upon the wild side can oft reveal what pain does hide. … Continue reading

My inclination
It matters not what others think or to what depths they choose to sink. What matters is the things I know; those things that let my juices flow. Creativity, the constant fire; the beauty of its cleansing pyre. Creativity, once … Continue reading

My advertisement for camp beds (or Arm a geddon tired)

Slavery
In a world that’s made for freedom it’s slavery we see as we battle with consumption – the scourge of you and me. It’s a consumerist society with its pretty bars of gold; A monkey trap for all of us … Continue reading
