The Day
You said you hated me,
that wasn’t new-
that I was the stupidest person
you’ve ever met,
that has been said before too-
but in a whole new level of lividity
you said-
I wish you would die-
too shocked to reply
I left,
something finally said in my head-
no more,
no
more

We could turn this round
do our bit
to make things better
No need to fill up your petrol car
or poison the air
All our children shouldn't have to suffer
So many faults in the pursuit of wealth
second chances taste like cinnamon

The Sage
Oh all this learning!
now I’m learned
and there is no more to know!
I can just preach,
screech
the learning I’ve learned
to everyone I know!
That’s the best part,
to show constantly
I’m the best learner
of those who have learned
before!
that’s the point!
sharing is erring

I was livid with my dog
not happy at all
He'd destroyed
my 200,000 word
manuscript
the sole copy and all
It was chewed and mauled
and torn into to shreds
My chance of the
Nobel Prize in Literature
was now totally dead
