ioan pearce
emigrated age of five,
south african childhood,hard and rough,
father died, mam had enough.
came back here at age of twelve,
lots of memories, some i'd shelve.
joined the paras after school
violent times a fighting fool,
marriage, children, settled down,
wild with life, my thorny crown.
widower, but courting strong,
reflecting on what i've done wrong.
eventful life of happy, sadness,
mixed with self indulgent madness.
but now i live a different rule,
older, wiser, no ones fool,
life is good, sometimes cruel,
eventful life.....my writing tool.
we three kings are having a jar,
bearing gifts we stole from the spar,
money counting, profits mounting,...
selling em in the bar.
ooh, ooh, car of wonder,pile of shite,
pinched it from a building site,
we proceeded, they don't need it,
taxi's dear this time of night.
we three kings are shy of a goal,
work for a living is selling your soul,
we got money, think it's funny,
tuesday we sign on the dole.
hoodie laughs at working fools,
mocking men that play to rules,
we pay taxes, he relaxes,
he's the king, and we the mules.
befriended by the builders
a building site next door
they gave her little jobs to do
although she's only four
when friday came,they even gave
her wages for the week
foreman smiled at sophie's joy
and tweaked her rosie cheek
off she went, to spend her pay
there was no way of stopping
a working girl with hard earned cash
so mummy took her shopping
hello mr sweetshop man
i've got cash to spend
been grafting with my muckers
an real job,....not pretend
are you working monday?
he passed her pick and mix
aye! if those wankers from jewson
bring the fucking bricks
food of abundance
feeling redundance
riddled with frustrated rage
pretending to love me
wire above me
confined to a small metal cage
no longer sing
a song on a wing
natural envirioment gone
free as a bird
these words are absurd
in prison, and done nothing wrong
while trying to buy some durex
he trembled to his roots
this is just a sport shop sir
you'd better try at boots
half an hour later
fearing confrontation
i'd like to buy a rubber thing
with batteries and vibration
once more the lady scowled
while showing him the door
this is just a sport shop
and don't come back for more
i want some k.y. jelly
he whispered his demand
her patience now exhausted
manager came to hand
what's the problem sir?
you seem a little harassed
welsh rugby, shirt he mumbled
but i'm too embarrassed
loaded with her weekly shop
outside the doors at asda
horny milf that never let
opportunity go passed her
hello big boy
she stroked his cheek
my bags are heavy
knees are weak
i lift dumbells
night and day
giss ya shopping
lead the way
i've got an itchy pussy
and i've got the horn
do you want to see it?
you sexy hunk of brawn
you'll have to show me luv
it's hard for me to see
those bloody japanese cars
look all the same to me
to see alonely child
no mother to confide
a mother once so close
bonded side by side
till illness claimed
left children maimed
stunned in solitude
no calming song
a mammy gone
that fed you love and food
but mother proud
from watching cloud
will guide and shepherd you
with loving arms
and all her charms
from smiling skies of blue
sneaky stan, the builder man,
who laboured on the site
wheeled a barrow full of straw
for two weeks every night
foreman feared some pilfering
and searched it every day
he fumbled round, but always found
now't below the hay.
but sneaky stan, a gardening man,
unhappy with wage rates
had stolen fourteen wheel barrows
and sold em to his mates
cross-eyed puppy rottwieler
our bond of love is deep
because of his affliction
the breeder sold him cheap
visited the local vet
took the time and trouble
to make my doggy better
and stop him seeing double
i'll have to put him down at once
said dr fronconstevi
why? just because he's cross-eyed?
no,.... he's fucking heavy
lil jack horner, sat in the corner
nursing his aching back
stuck his fat thumb, right up his bum
and miss muffet gave him a wack
dopey del the dealer
dyslexsic dodgy bloke
got a can stuck up my nose
when i tried sniffing coke
offered me a bisco discuit
i think was ecstasy
said that i would dance all night
but he called it a d
snack, and spunk, d.m.a
maraganja, weed
pc plod approached the scene
and del was off at speed
i am the boss, and pay the cost
of your life every week
i'm upper class,so kiss my ass
twice daily on each cheek
you are my slave,until your grave
depend on me for pay
you must obey,all i say
eight hours every day
my status rules,you grateful fools
that grovel to my money
i demand, your grafting hands
feed me milk and honey
yeh, but......
i work for you, and listen to
the bullshit and the crap
because i've got two kids to feed
along with mortgage trap
but you don't see, where i pee
when you demand a cuppa
laugh aloud, feeling proud
each time i eat my supper
you spit your shit, i laugh in fits
recall your furrowed frown
the night i painted your new car
and let the tyres down
shout your clout, boss me about
don't care how i'm feeling
but you don't see, where i pee
and everything i'm stealing
the working girl approached him
a busy cardiff pub
stockings and suspenders
gave his leg a rub
hundred quid, i'm yours tonight
whatever you desire
heart beat like a big bass drum
his calvin kliens on fire
could not believe his fortune
what a stroke of luck
so he made her paint his house
and clean his dirty truck
the thief entered the window
then filled his pants with poo
voice came from the darkness
" twinkles watching you"
panic in his viens
unsure what to do
yet again the warning words
" twinkle's watching you"
trembling hand that shone a torch
then sighed with much relief
the parrot in a corner said....
" hello, my name is kieth"
what silly bastard named you that?
the robber mocked the bird
kieth the talking parrot?
the daftest thing i've heard
"the same man with a rottwweiler"
"that bit off someones nose"
"he's very good at creeping"
" his name is twinkle toes"
literate legends of the past
wordsworth, tennyson, shakespeare, poe
philosophers preaching wisdom
whilst churning words of woe
if born a century onward
their genius contribution
would re-direct thought
and our retribution
clever wit, used correctly
relays a message indirectly
be loud in voice
be strong in deed
plants that blosom
have nurtured seeds
learned men, with miserly souls
different values, different goals
hypothetically speaking, if resurrected
could this system be corrected
past vision blurred, future masked
the valley victim duly asked...
what make thee of my vale?
once vibrant, now lies stale
thine vale like a garment, tightly twined
sceptical of progress, wallow in decline
thy forefathers fester in premature tombs
martyrs to masters, grafted in gloom
thy dwell on the dead, thou should view ahead
though mystery of history must ever be read
tread forth with vision, or stumble ye blind
don't dwell on the dead, or land once mined
i stand and stare, fridge is bare
no carpet on the floor
washing soaked, heating broke
bailiffs at the door
roof is leaking, house is creaking
single dad, sad moaner
middle aged, without a wage
christmas round the corner
but.....
a little boy in india
not eaten for a week
no shirt upon his back....
a grin upon his cheek
he's never tasted biscuits
crisps, or orange squash
always wears a smile
but never clothes to wash
unaware of fridges
heating run on gas
never seen a carpet
school room or a class
materialistic bollocks
food that goes to waste
life we take for granted
he will never taste
happy ever grateful
for simple things of need
never witness our shit
of gluttoness and greed
one day the giant teacher
walked pupils round the world
some small giant boys
some small giant girls
jimmy giant stick your hand
down through the cloudy mist
tell me our location ...
his methods had a twist
think we are in india
triumphant in his call
i can smell the curry
and feel the taj mahal
julie giant,tommy, joe
willy, stan, and sid
egypt was the answer
they touched the pyramid
china, shouted sally
i can feel the wall
chinese folk in paddy fields
i can touch em all
tiny taffy last in turn
came trailing from behind
dai stick your hand down through the sky
and see what you can find
BLAENAVON, shouted dai
while clutching at his crotch.
can you feel the big pit?
no,.... some twat stole my watch
wise old owl awoke one day
and studied human habits
blinkered, busy, bussling,
stressed out racing rabbits
ever chasing,always racing
never gaining, life of straining
predictable futures, and the source
who's the wiser? cart or horse?
he gazed at our system
thought whats the point....
of hussle and bussle
then rolled up a joint
rumour tumours
feed and flourish
mushrooms need
shit for nourish
purposeless people
with nothing to do
scorn the progressors
vision to view
optimist swims
jelly fish float
thro sea of life
live or gloat
i have a blow up sheepy doll
that sleeps with me at night
apart from where i fixed her
most of her is white
might be sad, some say mad
when sexlife is in limbo
love bite made her fart last night
she flew out through the window
i sense a bitter person
twisted by life's fate
rather call it passion
instead of woeful hate
life is like a soda bottle
shaken with compression
bathsheba has released some gas
thro poetical expression
moralistic fibres
unafraid to speak
troubled past endured
made her strong not weak
also sense connection
you, myself, and jack
we have found a way in life
to get shit off our back
might be totally wrong, but it's my impression. please let me know
