On Spirit, Mammon & Humanity
We’ve turned our backs on Spirit, now we face the void alone. We’ve turned her Garden into dollars like dogs gnawing a bone. Humanity goes by the by when there’s Mammon to be made and any who don’t ‘toe the … Continue reading

On War
Still we fight like cats and dogs till ‘victory’ we secure before walking over corpses all sanctimonious and pure. Hold out a hand in friendship and that they’ll quickly spurn but give an excuse for war and it’s “burn baby … Continue reading

I sit beside the seaside, I watch the waves roll in, I think I’ll write a poem, but where will I begin? I guess that that’s the first part of everything we do, whether it ‘s a shopping list or … Continue reading

I see a world of wonder corrupted by us folk; I see what we’ve created and wish it was a joke. But deep inside I see some sinister intent; a world somehow determined to go against what’s meant. I think … Continue reading

Oh Dear, That’s a Shame!
I sit, at times and wonder, just what this is all about; with all the ‘wisdom’ in the world we forget what it’s about. We whine about destruction and do more every day. We say we want a world at … Continue reading
