Love and anger evoke in me
strength and hatred that you see
Makes me fight and carry on
even more when hope is gone

When I am cold and feeling done
love warms my body like the sun
helps me stand when I feel weak
fuels in me the strength I seek

Anger makes me forget the pain
keeps me walking through the rain
hate it now because I can see
What this world an life should be

Love and anger are my fuel
and yes together they do duel
one cant exist without the other
so stand with me fellow brother

Use your anger and your pain
help this world get back to sane
spread love and hate evenly
an make this life what it should be

I will not be seen by your eye
in deep grass and striped am I
hiding not but hidden still
until I know it's time to ****

Low to ground I hold my stance
hidden from your every glance
yet I know you know I'm near
as I can smell your building fear

I choose my timing to announce
now any second I can pounce
It's far too late to keep on walking
now that stripey death is stalking

Tell me now then Mr minister
why is politics all so sinister
In past controlled us all with fear
now they fear the truth is near

Divide and conquer is the goal
hate what they cannot control
Internet means communication
no longer divided globalisation

We are numbers this they know
struggling to keep us all below
on our shoulders they've stood
not helping others as they could

We all know about their crime
and now I think that it is time
for a simple an affective solution
has anyone heard of revolution?

I think it's time for a conversation
about human beings an our imagination
Great inventors like in past days are rare
and it seems that society just doesn't care

So just what happened to free innovation
it's now controlled like a railway station
Some great ideas aren't being inspected
well inventors of hoovers are getting respected

If they can't control it they make it stall
as mankind's inventions could free us all
Letting them do it will be all our regret
Man made are we and we shouldn't forget!

Judge a woman by her lovers
just another one after others
Wouldn't do that to a man
welcome to bed who he can  

Judge a woman by her clothes
her material and fabric throws
Criticised for what she wears
doesnt matter still gets stares

Judge a woman by her hair
try it different if she dare
It shows now, nerve reveals
surely you know how she feels

I Judge a woman by if she cares
deals with life and how she fares
In what she has a sense of pride
and the feelings she has inside

Judge a woman how dare you
exam her and what she do
It does more harm can't you see
to look at her so judgementally

A fellow poet sadly has just departed
a good man was so kindly hearted

a talented wordsmith and lyrical creator
John by name and indeed by nature
  
Family he was but also good friend
many a meal sat, time we'd spend

Didn't see you recently but hope you know
I hate the fact it's your time to go

and know when we gather as family
it won't feel right without you sat next to me

Poetry to me had become boring
pretentious writer craved adoring
"Likes for this one" it overtook
a simple love of a poetry book

Poems to me had lost there flair
no love up here or under there
with every single word I'd gloat
in the dribble that I wrote

Yet now a new style I've found
playfully written wrote for sound
Simple to read and flows to say
so fun to write with words I play

And helps keep the ego at bay
loss of identity some would say
but to not be "known" I feel I can
relate to all as just One man
