I am the clumsiest person I know. If there was an Olympic Event in Clumsy I'd be Gold Medalist ?

Lost Advice


The dead might tell us many things
But living ears hear nought
Save that which may bear fruit
Or some spiteful tittle tattle
But true life learned wisdom
Cannot be passed by lifeless lips
Save those scant pearls left in print
And stored upon dust filled shelves
Untouched and buckled
And more's the pity for it
The living must tread with care
During these treacherous times
While the wisdom of those passed
Festers into maybes and might nots
That truth stands we somehow choose
Blind eyes turned away in fearful bliss
In hope that some other ears might heed
To save us as we bow before our media gods
While the pleas of a dying planet
Fall as tears upon a parched ground
Our gods now shun their barren altars
As those that passed scream in urgent chorus
To waken us from our pantomime

... before it is too late

    7 in 10



    it’s the loneliest existence
    on the path of least resistance
    they’re all saying ‘i hate you’
    not enough to just berate you
    strength lays behind a screen
    yellows like to stay unseen
    venom curdling and cloying
    in the life that they’re destroying

    everybody’s got a choice
    and everyone should have a voice
    let’s hope they’re feeling proud
    when theirs get too fucking loud
    there are places in this world
    for all flags to be unfurled
    while theirs flutter in their breeze
    someone’s dying by degrees

    we all like to look our best
    so some dare the socials’ test
    it’s a fickle forums’ stage
    digitalis poisons page
    heaven sent? or just hell bent?
    with just a click, their comment’s spent
    then, depending on the feeling
    some are rocking; most are reeling

    there are kinder ways to die
    far finer ways to say goodbye
    but that’s not easy to ignore
    when wanker wolves are at the door
    it isn’t sociable at all
    to plot an innocents’ downfall
    they’ve only just begun to live
    yet, to you; it’s life they give

    luckily, my old thick skin
    doesn’t let the bastards in
    but i know a vicious tongue
    can be a yardstick for the young
    hate is always going to be
    a part of our society
    unnecessary vitriol
    will surely sink a sapling soul

    what on earth is there to do?
    with our ‘smart’ phones stuck like glue
    you’re all better than the sum
    of the targets you’ve become
    trust someone; find strength to talk
    leave them no weakness to stalk
    they’ve bugger all on which to boast
    and it’s themselves they hate the most...







    Having watched the documentary by Jesy Nelson, the title here refers to the repulsive statistic that 7 in 10 teenagers have experienced some form of cyber bullying.
    Not that she’ll read it, but that’s ok; this is for her, and for anyone that does read it that is experiencing, or has experienced, such life sucking hatred.
    Just know that some of us are listening.

      Time Your time is the cruelest master of all, Right up to your teens you're just having a ball, Your #life is a glib fest of good times and strops, With no sense of Jack Shit your teens are just tops, Bang into your twenty's and thirty's you're good, The man of the house and the whole neighbourhood, You know what it is hot and you don't give a fuck, Those dice love you baby they're bringing you luck, But Old Father Time has a trick up his sleeve, You don't know it yet but you better believe, That you'll soon be sliding right out of the game, That face in the mirror just won't be the same, At forty and fifty you're King Of The Hill, As strong as an oxen you never sit still, You still like to party but just on your own, And once in a while you let out a soft groan, At Sixty folk laugh as your trousers don't fit, As you blush and pretend that you don't give a shit, At Seventy vulnerability looms, You sit with the old folk in Caring Home Rooms, And should you hit Eighty time laughs in your face, As you stagger and stumble all over the place, You try to stay close to that lavatory door, Along with the others who's bowels are poor, And Old Father Time has a trick up his sleeve, You don't know it yet but you better believe, That you'll soon be sliding right out of the game, That face in the mirror just puts you to shame.  #poem #aging #time

        Kingsmen

        We never had a future, but our shit was sometimes good,
        We were the hardest bad boys in your local neighbourhood,
        But we were all on your side wearing berets of the flag,
        And when that shit began to fly you bet we didn’t lag,
        We were the Kingsmen, 8th Of Foot and mind those P’s and Q’s,
        The Sergeant’s Mess was never built for Corporals to use,
        We’ll thank you kindly watch and shoot and always on the fly,
        Those buggers never seen us Tommies coming by and by,
        It’s Yes Sir No Sir, three bags full and keep that dressing tight,
        We always took our dressings from me best mate on the right,
        And if there weren’t no wars to fight we’d spit and polish boots,
        And never put your faith for sure in terrified recruits,
        We marched as one and met our Queen and we was surely proud,
        The Freedom Of The City March did always draw a crowd,
        There’s not a man among us shirked his duty when it called,
        And those that fell are gloried in our Colours one and all,
        So cheers my lads and fuck ‘em all they just can’t take us out,
        We are the 8th Of Foot and Kingsmen, come and join the rout.

          Mother Winter

          Mother Winter creeps,
          The chill of her breath all about,
          Gather your winter fuel,
          And keep your ears to the ground,
          Go, prepare as best you can,

          For many a fool,
          Has fallen foul of her tricks,
          Paying scant respect,
          Relying on luck perchance,
          And so paid the price.
