What do I write my love?
To thee
Hath I been caught perchance
For
Thy golden fool

How dost thou stir?
For a man in such difference

I am what real men do

Should we not go in concert?
Celebrate
Our chance to dream my child

Alas no better love
Doth afflict me than you

Give me my crown
Tis’ tedious war
Love looks not what it is

In method hath reason for thoust
And cupid will come

My sweetness

Sounds inside my mind
Do me no good
Taking me back to that dark place
A child fears
In
A government place

Black kids white kids remarkably
One colour
Government wards of the state
All of us
United in hatred for our loss of family

Sounds inside my mind
Again and again
And I am years behind my siblings
Suffering the abuse at adult hands
In
A government place

Sad as we are we battle on
We forgive with reluctance
We make neither waves nor friends
As families come back to us
United by guilt with the gain of a lost child

Sounds inside my mind
Echoing the dread
And the fear of an aging man
For innocent young children today
In
A government place

Separated from family

Happiness no longer shares my heart
Nerines death has taken that part
Others strive but fall short too often

Sunshine comes only from those I have loved
Not those I have tried to love
Overbearing demands to be perfect suit me not

I fall so short in this new world
A need to be perfect in speech and behaviour
This woman fails to see I am a flawed man

My heart breaks for my Nerine
She was my heart and sole
And our love was solid as in an unforgiving world

When Nerine comes back you will find me
Happy again

I doubt anyone can wait that long
For a flawed man

Almost wasted
For the best part
In
A broken family
Boy’s home and fear
Last hope
A life of my own

Reaching out so often
And losing
Wives gone
An alcoholic romp perhaps
Better
A life of my own

With respect I gave in
Seeking something
Anything
My Dad perhaps
Again
A life of my own

No Mother
No Father
No siblings for years
My own children
Still aloof
A life of my own

My own blood suffers
Because I am hard
Unreliable
Now I live
A life of my own deservedly

To save them all

You are nothing
When you are dead

There is no god to go to
No heaven
You are always dead

No hell
That’s with you now on earth
Hell is life as you make it
And if you think there is a heaven
It’s a fear of dying that’s all

You’re dead
Gone
Dirt and waste
Sad as it is
You will end up as bones or ash

Bloody dreamers all of you
Give it up
Do something now whilst you live
For death is a long time

Fame is now
In death you missed it

You only have this one chance
And
It’s the chance of a lifetime
Not
Your dead time

Government and politicians
The ridiculous spin
Taxes
And salesmen who call me from India

Insurance companies who won’t pay on technicalities
The car part that wasn’t really in need of replacement
And
The diet that never worked

People telling me John Lennon is dead
And Elvis walks my supermarket

That shit happens when it cannot
And
Santa Claus is real
The Easter Bunny delivers chocolate
On the day Jesus was crucified

And
Today’s kids all empowered to show no respect
Schools that fail to discipline
And Judges who cannot deliver appropriate sentencing

Police not allowed to police
The loss of a beautiful wife

And
Wars

Just
Some of the pains I can do without

In a sad world

She confides in me
With reluctance
And
Tears fill her plate
A deluge from years of absolute hurt

A sad mealtime
A bad memory
Of a bad father

Haunting her
A ruined meal sits

Harsh words from a damaged heart
The years of abuse
And
A scary thought he will out live her

She confides in me
With reluctance yet again
Worrying about her mother
Too fearful to speak out

Thank god

A loving sister supports her story
And I am stunned
At the evidence the anecdotal portrayals
Of
A bad man without a heart

Without a thought
Of the damage he has done

Enough is enough

The dogs are barking

In a dangerous world

We are beholden to
Terrorists
Asylum seekers
Do gooders
Rampant teenagers
And
Minorities

Gutless government rules us

The dogs are barking big time

In the streets
In our homes
In the Police force
In the ordinary man
In Australia
In the world

Someone needs to lead us
Back to old fashion values

Time is running out
Dreamers
The dogs are barking loud
Decency and respect must again prevail

In a sick sick world

A God and a Church
Are you sure dream believers
A Billion Dollar Corporation
Fear mongerers about Hell and Purgatory
All based on a fucking book
An Old Testament
Where is the proof
Where the hell is Jesus?
The Catholics continue
To prostitute this world
Whilst priests rape children
And Jesus still hides
Real estate owners richer than fort Knox
Supposedly to help the poor and down trodden
The special angels
The saints
And
Those who live their life well
A passage to heaven
All to save the world and the good people
Good on you God
You missed my wife
You are a fraud along with your church
Lies more lies
There are no bloody signs in my life
A God will ever bring my angel back
She died
A tragic loss to my world
A huge loss in her world
Where is he now
Where was he when my angel was in trouble?
Has he brought your loved ones back to you?
If there is a God he took my angel
He took a person of quality
And value to all others
He took a friend
Worst of all he gave nothing
In return
Catholic frauds
He took my angel he promised everything
In my young life I believed
His disciples conned me but now I am free at last
I am a Non-believer

She is the backbone
When ours is failing
She comes from left field in such difficult times

With solutions

And

When she sheds a tear
It’s for others and family

Her needs move back

For
She is woman

She is the peacemaker
When families fall apart

She comes from left field in difficult times
With unrequited love

She is woman
She is smart

So underrated

She comes from left field

Yet again and again
And again

With little acknowledgement
