To my younger self
Take the time out to
Enjoy those precious
Times, people, places.
Make another memory.
You’ll thank yourself in the future.
Take the time out to
Heal those wounds.
Keep moving forwards
Physically and mentally.
You’ll thank yourself in the future.
Take the time out to
Create those stories;
Ones that your future
Generation will re-tell
You’ll be remembered in their future.

Estate of Mind
By Bob W Christian
Take a walk down a dark memory lane with me…
A nightmare experiment on social deprivation.
These ends have seen better days; boys from Eton messed up – ******* us over for a profit.
Calling us drunks, criminals, feckless idiots,
Looking down from your nonflammable towers.
We can’t ignore this horror story like you can.
Streets littered with ****** needles; hell-raising
Flames shooting from cars; replacing the broken lamps,
Lighting up the desperate estate of mind we call reality.
“Get a job, save up, better yourself, pull yourself out
Of austerity. Climb that property ladder”,
While living cheque-to-cheque. Can’t deposit on zero hours.
Withdrawing food from banks; it’s no way to live.
We really are in this together, fighting to survive.
