What could possibly be more stimulating Than watching your country disintegrating Wondering what course of action is best And whether the outcome be worth all this distress Friends fighting friends; backstabbing the new norm No-one accepting that they’d been misinformed And whilst people from all sides claim they have the answers Rather than fix […]
Poems
Someday
I sit atop a lonely mountain Watching others play Perhaps I’ll get to join them Someday… I’ll climb the trees Scrape my knees And if I feel brave Boldly march Into the dark Of some old spooky cave I’ll roam the hills Explore the wilds I will venture far and wide I won’t […]
I Am In Your Debt
I was but a boy when we met Broken Fractured Imprisoned in a life I never wanted Afraid of growing up And taking on the world Shying away from every challenge And then there was you Strong and determined You captured my heart Enraptured my soul And helped me in so many ways Gave […]

Appearances Are Deceptive
“You don’t seem depressed…” I still hear that From more than a few people I ask them “Why? Because you’ve never seen me cry? Because there’s no scars on my wrists? I’m not the way the movies depict? I don’t walk around with a doleful look, Like I’m permanently down on my luck?” And all […]
(mis)Guided By Faith
Sing your hymns Say your prayers Give thanks and praise To your God Ask for blessings Beg forgiveness For your sins Call for peace An end to hunger Pray for the homeless And the sick Ask your Lord To have mercy On our souls For that is what You think your faith’s about But […]
Camaraderie
Camaraderie Is not a commodity To be bought or sold Or taken for granted It isn’t something You just find on the street Traded with just anyone you meet It should never be demanded Nor always expected It must built over time Through shared experiences Requiring trust Mutual understanding and support And when found It […]
