End Of Evil
Ryan O'Leary Jun 2024
One of these mornings
There will be a news
Flash ‘’An Earthquake
In Hell-Aviv, Satan is
Dead’’ that’s when God
Will officially announce

Rock Bottom
Ryan O'Leary Jun 2024
My first ever job when I
Left school was grave-
Digging, it was evident
Back then (not to me)
That I had hallmarks and
Potential of a ne’er do well.

New graves are a *******.

My first was in ****** stoney
Ground in a place called
Bweeng. Pick and shovel,
Turn the sod, save the topsoil.

Down past the clay and into
The shingle, all the time
Drinking large bottles of
Guinness, the ones with the
Broad shoulders which will
Assist with the mundane,

En route to the Rock Bottom,
Which, for some, is 6ft under!

Ryan O'Leary Jun 2024
Without the C it could
Bring thunder and sure
If it is one of those lead
Laden cumulus stratus
Smoke stained cotton
Wool numbers, then it
Will be a symbiotic duet
Of strobe lightning with
The rolling of drums in
Sequential arrangements
And that will be followed
By an Irish downpour of
Biblical proportions which
Could last for 40 daynights.

Mon Dieu
Ryan O'Leary Jun 2024
It is all God’s fault,
giving Satan a pied

But even worse than
that is his blessing
of the United Snakes.

Many were banished
by St Patrick, the most
evil being genocide Joe.

Stop The Double U’s

To those who have been
spinning the yarns
To those who have been
rotating the roster
To those who have been
twisting their stories
To those who have been
Twirling their fingers
To those who have been
rolling the carpets
To those who have been
wheeling and dealing
To those who have been
turning the other cheek
It is time to pull on the
rein and Stop The World.

What does the Wolf

I write in red on the

White Kites Fall
Ryan O'Leary Jun 2024
Winds think they have
Won when yachts lower
Their sails or when socks
Sag or when weather vanes
Stand still or when eagles
Land or when clouds pause
Or when the barley stops
Shaking or when it’s deemed
unnecessary to wet ones finger
Or when white kites fall.

But embers require no fanning
For smoke to signal the rising
Of a seriously wounded Phoenix!

In minds of a Jew,
the hollow cost of

History has given
you a bad name,
now we know why.

Just as ink is the
DNA of a pen, dry
nibs have stories too.

Blood of Gaza may
evaporate in sun, but

fermented another vat

I'm A Refusée

Despite being here
as a ward of state,
protected by the
constitution, you
have become judge
and jury deciding
to get rid of me,
without hearing my
pleas or argument.

Too many people,
you say, Ireland is
full, I’m not wanted,
nor, needed here.
I am superfluous.

“Go back to where
you came from, you
are only interested
in the generosity of
our states allowances”

Returning is not an
option, but I can see
how the country has
changed and that the
Cead Mile Failte is no
longer applicable for
those of us who arrive
naked and unexpected.

I’m here because of a
circumstance that was
totally out of my control.

I was not the one who
forgot to take the pill or
refuse to wear a ******.

I spent my teens avoiding

I spent my early manhood
in dark smokey pubs
I spent all of my money
acquiring substance addictions
I spent much of my time in a
state of permanent loneliness
I spent months and months
in psychiatric hospitals
I spent times among you hiding
my depths of depression
I spend many of my waking hours
contemplating how to suicide.

Should I mention Virginia Woolf's
