from county lines to the corridors of power

a smile can beguile
soft spoken words enchant

charlatans know this
deploying them often

screaming and shouting
when thwarted

a childish reaction
too ingrained to change.

Union

to be relevant on a staged world
your voice is your own

-influenced of course
by what is in your mind-

a world of Sister and Brother?
of Union?

Bluster and Bragging Billionaire

'The meek shall inherit the Earth'
Now who said that?

playing the part of a saviour

when mere mortals are held up to fawn over
- as if they have the answer to all your problems
which seems to be true in the very act of worship
but of course the reality will soon hit home.

around

ships without rudders
keep on going around
and around, around...

religious creatures

everyone believes in something
and when folk stop believing in God
they do not believe in nothing
no, they believe in anything.

actors acting

to engage is to live
to live is to play your part
and no-one can take it from you.
