freedom to be ill


China lacking freedom
builds hospitals at will
locking down all movement
and treat every one that's ill

America the land of the free
greed and money they applaud
have sick with out medical care
for which they can afford

so sick people roam the streets
mingling with the crowd
expressing the worth of freedom
but there's no freedom in a shroud

grave stone



Looking at the grave stone
the inscriptions intrigue me
thirty years between him and her
in misery or free?


Did they disturb the bones?
or place them side by side
was there a loving embrace
that in life was denied


did the spirits whisper
why did you wait so long
did you suffer greatly
to get where you belong

the carving of the headstone
so intricate and neat
of those forgotten corpses
that lay beneath my feet

guardians of the mind

You should be more grateful
to those guardians maligned
that hide all those memories
to protect your mind

the sexual exploitation
violence you can't recall
abuse done by institutions
like Stowlangtoft hall

they hide away the memories
and protect them like a bank
in the recesses of the mind
your synapses draw a blank

a curse on all hypnotists
and talking therapy
that can not cure the pain
but let your demons free

with their interfering
trying to make it right
you relive the terrors
with flash backs in the night

more vivid than dreaming
the memories you recall
you get the taste the smell and fear
you relive it all

so treat them to opioids
if you think you must
don't try to get around them
they're hiding your disgust

wetting the bed

Suffer little children
have mercy on them all
chanted the nuns in sacred prayer
of Srtowlangtoft hall

for the damage boys and orphans
on Saturday will get a treat
the nuns will get their bacon
and boys will get other meat

the game is called hide and seek
for Hershy bars and gum
the airmen call them special
and treat them like they're scum

they touch the thighs and stroke the hair
and slap them if you cried
they take their hand to the trouser bulge
and told to feel inside

they hold the face in two strong hands
and thumbs open up the jaw
because they are a special one
so often said before

the mouth used so rough and cruel
more satisfaction sought
removal of the shorts and pants
for all the gifts they bought

because they are a special one
his pleasure they have found
they never screamed or called for help
they never made a sound

if they screamed or or tried to fight
more punishment they would endure
a blind eye given is by the nuns
so the soul remains clean and pure

the pillows are wet from small boy tears
when they lay their head
they'll be punishment in the morning
because they wet their bed

pray for good weather

in the southern bible belt
the congregation kneel to pray
that God would sent some decent weather
on their special day

for they have had tornado's
strong winds and hurricane
they had to deal with the floods
caused by all the rain

now the land is parched
it being the longest drought
so they think it's about time
God sorted the weather out

Gods messenger heard their prayers
and to this day he doesn't know why
to these fecking eejits
he gave a swift reply

God has given you a brain
and language that you can tell
tools for you to drill and dig
to get water from a well

you have solar panels
for when the weather is fine
and when the wind begins to blow
you have a wind turbine

for all the rain that you have
you have a water wheel
you could have boundless energy
so why do you pray and kneel

if you have too much water
you could move it with a pump
there are many at hand solution
but you pray and vote for Trump
