Within Four WallsWithin four walls I felt restraint / That pushed my minds own metaphor / And as my lips began to dry

DisillusionedA restless mind keeps dreams at bay / Now copper taints my golden ones / In spiders webs are gathered thoughts

The Wall of GloryThe poison that works within my soul / Chastises the angel that lives in my mind / Ahead is a battle, a fight I must win

HMS Leigh - A Pier UntouchedIf only for peace his swan song sighed / Amidst the gallant yet frightened few / With weary bones a heavy heart

Its Only A Game!!As boys we dreamed and hoped to be / We watched the game and chose our team / Match day comes and passions rise

A Love That's LostA petal falls so silently / To land and rot amongst the weeds / A roses head tilts & sighs

Cars (How the Financial Hardships of Unemployment affects You)Sunk in my armchairI stare from the gloomThe never-ending soundOf cars that drift onWith minds on the roadAnd eyes straight aheadCash register for mileageChing ching in their head-If stripped of the clothingAre we all just the sameWe want to be themTo be part of this gameAnd the cars that drift onWith their badges of wealthThese tokens of greatnessMuch better than mine-Once I was partOf this greed that we wantBut now I am nothingSomeone that just hopesMy boys birthdays comingHow much would it costTo bring smiles to his faceWithout knowing the lossYet who will sufferAs my daughter is nextAnd kids have no boundariesWhen friends have the best-And people with moneyNow scorn on my lifeTo some I’m a scroungerWhilst dodging tax with their perksThose LLP peopleWho employ mystery wivesAnd lie on their tax billsTo hoard cash for their lives-A tenner for cleaningAn old boys flatBuys cake for my kidsAs a one off treatYet who is more guiltyOf conning the stateAs I sit in my armchairAnd cars drive on past
