poem 155

You stand proud, indeed

we plough the earth on deed

in turn she enshroud 

our community's with all we need 

As long we fracture not 

all life blooms entwined

life a shrine to hold all divine



So we all grow strong

under that radiant sun

While rain clouds bless us

for these see all as free

and give upon that deed 

enterprise is not greed

but infact life guaranteed 



the rich upon there hymns

sing rupture of straight lines

to divide all in mind

and so the land divides 

Now in bound we bleed

Just to feed wealths need 

here is, no end to greed


 

Now they privatised

all your hart and minds

with those insidious lines

To pollute all that shines

this dark, hides their crimes

for they broke the deed

that all life is enwinted

Poem 67

I saw your sun's face sink
to a pool of blood

I saw countless eyes
with no life upon them

I saw the soldier carry
one more bleeding lie

I saw a room of righteous
justify your doom

I saw paper covered wall
scream silver truth

I saw a nameless dead but
not one explanation

I saw the child's eyes
see their mother torn

I've seen this all happen before
as yet again the elite stand
untouched throughout it all



i wrote this poem after seeing the simple fantastic exhibition HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS by Marcelo Brodsky.
At the photographers gallery London

Poem 68

london who memorys barbed with your name
each as sharp and a touch just to bleed


looking up the sun blinds with an echo
of those who just simple want to know


and just to breath now declared  in secret
classed  a crime for you and me


as for home just made of tears each
one cast in crystal for permanent display


the poet speaks but his words are  foreign
thoe there  image shines a ring of perfect circle


but when did you ever not touch so deep
and each sealed with a smile upon paper bleached


and to the white night sky where  no trees lives
but below life breath invisible until the cold shows


and they dare to say this is no heaven for you and me
yes my guitar weeps from the painting now complete


but at the horizon my hart beats with the sea between
never to kiss or hold  the side of your cheek


yet in stone your name i wrote and of its love to me
as self titled elite cast are child to flames they need to feed


and when asked to explain they turn and say this is how heaven made
now deaf to screaming pitch thats made them so rich
