Tenth Commandment

Dow % shalt not covet
thy neighbours goods.

American greed brings
Uncle Sam to his knees,

& his untreated tumour,
Israel is gone malignant.

Youth in Asia calls are
heard chopstick symbols,

Debt to the US and *****
Tell Aviv on everyone’s lips.

No Title
There’s no title because
I don’t want to give the
name of the game away.

There are no goalposts
no yellow or red cards
and no substitutions.

There are no off side
rules but there are
spectators each end.

There are lines and it
is sometimes played
under elevated lights.

There is a half time &
there is also a referee,
but there is no ball?

I’m hoping to buy a house
that predates, herbicides,

It is even pre eco, ancient,
there is no television aerial,
nor, did it have a microwave.

It is not tied to a pole like
all the other houses, there
are no wires or a fancy wok.

Goldilocks never lived there,
but it did belong to the bears,

River Walk
Sandpipers puncturing the
alluvial silt, tethered boats
pivot in the reversing tide.

Gannets and geese give me
a gander from overdrawn
banks on the opposite side.

Wet cormorants wing span
in the turbine shared zodiac,
windsocking a weathervane.

Masts in reflection below the
murky water line occasionally
rippled by an inquisitive fish.

A buoy and a gull bob, otters
doing doughnuts around even
keels, heron treads cautiously.



This scene is from the old rail
line walkway Crosshaven Cork.

Sure aren’t I exactly what the

I can change points (of view)
on one track minds with lines
that would wake the sleepers
and I can derail thoughts and
for those who don’t give two
hoots I can express,  between
the junctions, my discontent
and take them into a siding
after being at the buffer bars.
Just give me a platform and
I will show them a ting or 2.

According to Wikipedia it
is an occurrence which is
not aided by human hand.

This means the Big Bang
Theory certainly qualifies.

But for those who dispute
it & insist that it was God
made the world, then they
must accept he’s responsible
for everything that happens
here, therefore he has to be
held accountable for The H.

He always hurts the ones he
loves, the ones he shouldn’t
hurt at all, even Palestinians.

Those who condemn
the latter have been
privileged to be part
of the excursion elite,
the rant* rant* people.

How many of you went
to countries that didn’t
speak your language or
where there was no job
or no accommodation.

How many of you left
without a change of
underwear toothbrush
and no place to return,
and no, no passport’s!

How many of you had to
stowaway hideaway just
to getaway from what
ancestors of some or even
all of us already experienced.

How many of you would
love to come back but it
it is not possible due to
(as you say) refugees and
displaced asylum seekers.

How many of you have
ever been homeless in
any country even your,
own, in a camper van at
74, I doubt if 1 answers.

How many of you applauds
your government & nation
for providing a secure home
for those who have never had
what you’re trying to deny them.
