Welsh You're probably looking for another Iwan Pitts, it's a very common name. / / I am a writer and a poet. I'm also a bar-tender, podcaster, film-maker, Welsh-speaker, photographer, blogger, Twitterer, humourist, presenter and musician. / / 100% of my money is currently made from serving customers various beverages, but most of my time is spent doing other, more interesting things.
Our carpenter wakes, looks through window, Sees the morning star, eats breakfast cereal. The exploited saint, stands on a table; "Drink me up" says he so commercial. You can take Him out of his heavenly domain, But you can't take the heaven out of Him. You can burn His body but His spirit remains. Desecrate handsomeness, needle pierces skin. Lay it down, sugared up, milk and honey, Eternity is a long time to get bored. Heaven is cloudy, but Hell is sunny, Empty gate, nobody died, impatient ****** Our Heavenly Lady smiles, nobody looks down, To the clean floor, Mother lays weeping. Another stoner put in his cave casts a frown, Messiah arises, but the world stays sleeping.

Messiah Arises
Lights, warm glow. Sun, burns hole in the floor. Only temporary, a moment and the hole moves on. Now it's on the wall. Inquisitive eyes, on divine face talking to me, "Why are you staring at my shadow?"

Cysgod
Death scroll on the stone brick wall; "Died in battle, year eighteen oh six". 'On first name terms with a cannonball'. The mind said lies the eyes played tricks. Must be the tiredness. Where am I? Lady Luck is a bad dealer. Counting sheep. Can't shuffle and I keep rolling snake eyes In this cruel game. I need some sleep. Time for your close up, get on stage, Curtains up, intermission, curtain call. Turning mustard yellow with old age, The rules were written on the death scroll. Script me a play with no direction at all. Sinning sleep, work is a virtue we all hate. 'On first name terms with a cannonball'. Kiss for a cross, Lady Luck named Fate.

Lady Insomnia
Famous Leatherstocking was a mighty hunter, Like a male Artemis; Freischutz without bullets. He did slay many a fiend for Minerva; Slicing their gullets, before burying the hatchets. He whistled as he skinned the prey he killed, And wisdom hung about him like thick mist; He told stories and glorified all the blood spilt, But never did he mention the few he missed. There will always be ones like Leatherstocking, Those who **** for sport, who like to brag. When there's no prey left and nothing's shocking, He might hunt down the children who've been bad. Or that's what they'll say to keep us in line, For we are the children Minerva left behind.

Minerva
Drawn and marked out in sand The tide will wash it away. Kneeling and then groove by hand; The wave clean slated our names. Wear a heart upon your sleeve Not a ******** in your chest. Hoping that you'll never leave, Take my hands, my head; infest. My body has absorbed all hate, And converted into passionate rage. The system annoys and frustrates, Pushing me to rebel, and create. I love so much and want peace, But am losing faith in the cross; I don't want to be cross, madness cease. Belief all gone, but not All lost.

Red Tide
A crown of thorns on my head. I'm laughing soon, I never asked for anything except "Why?" An answer. "Why?" "Why have you forsaken me?" Sadistic isn't it? I never mention sacrilige, And I never talk about blasphemy. I haven't read the Bible. Who wrote that? God didn't have a pen, Yet He designed us. I shudder. Nailed to wood. RIP. The alcoholic flowers drink my water. Hallelujah! Wear my pain around your neck. **** your fellow man, Because he must die like I did, For his crazy beliefs.

He who died
Poppy fields grow seeds make ***** ****** and morphine dreams and the leaves can cure leprosy and answer all your needs. Poppy leaves boiled taste like spinach, and could be used in a fragrant dish, fit for a king. They made their graves and layed in them too, in the poppy fields. They didn't cook. They didn't shoot up. They didn't have leprosy. They just died amongst the flowers and bullets and shrapnel and smoke. They were sent to die. They were our kings.

It's all done with smoke and mirrors. Look you can see the trap door! This isn't magic, It's all a trick. She's not really dead. Wow! Big explosions, flashy lights! It looks real, and really cool! This isn't magic, It's all a trick. She's still not moving.

Smoke and Mirrors
It's all going strange, or so I think; 'For whom the bells toll,' ringing all week. The truth is told, witches do not sink, Burnt at the stake, for the lies you speak. Presecuted; superstitous men, Accuse and choose; God fearing, they **** Eradicate if you don't fit in; Wipe out those with the strongest free will. Witch hunts aren't exclusive to the past, Each day we read about people burnt; In the tabloids, reputations last; They are not killed, but families are hurt. Witches; daughters of humility, Not called a witch but 'celebrity'.

Witch Hunt
Old Harry talks too much, Devoted to onomatopoeic sounds. He listens as consonants Emanate from his mouth. The gentleman, patriarchal In his way, deprived, solitary; Talking to the hypothetical Companions in his psyche. Old Harry gets no reply, Devoid of company is the liar. They used to sing years ago, The devil's only friend is fire.
