If you're on your way
to dad's villa in Barbados Mallorca or the Maldives
If you've got your bags packed
ready for that gap year travelling to broaden your minds
If you've got the acceptance mail
and its Oxford or Cambridge in September awaiting
If you've got the straight As
and dad's promised Mercedes and City Finance beckons
If Charlotte India or Lucinda
have promised a summer of fun
in Granny's beaucoup hide-away in France Spain or Penzance
If Harrods and Asprey have delivered
all the fineries and tons of invites to Summer ***** are in hands
But oh how we know
these can never be you your lives or your world
for if it is
It will never
It simply will not be in your minds
much less your radiant positive enriching orbits
to have the time
much less the inclinations not to mention the wherewithal
to spend your time
sitting dearily composing dirge fantasies
festering toxicity from ****** polluted anodyned minds
thinking you're getting at someone
who's done nothing to you
In charmless madness all you can do
is squim in your angsts luxuriate in hate envy and jealousy
and fixate  maddeningly on those
whose lives are beyond your grubby miserable reaches
For you know painfully your inadequacies
and how you are without merits
Its really as simple as that
so you might as well continue to do as expected
Hate on, Shout, sprout bile, project, poison and write
whatever whenever however
We know you all too well......

I was given love
when it was crafted by the Master crafts-maker
pure, sublime, exquisite, demure, enchanting and priceless
a jewel of the Nile that made Faberge and Asprey  weep in homage
Now, love is made in China
mass produced in sweatshops with cheap labour
tin and lead, gilded gold-plated disposable imitations
gaudy show-pieces, chintzy and pretentious of poor quality
So these fine days
every Tom, ****, Harriet and Jane
say they all own one, a love of their own
its special and priceless, and so easy to purchase
and the great beauty about it all is that its easily replaceable
I was given love
when it was crafted by the Master crafts-maker
It isn't Western made or made in China from artificial goods
by machines or robots, no living beings was harmed in the process
I am because I have always lived with the Real Deal
