We can wear what we wish

We can go where we chose

We can do what we want

We can prevent a conception

We can abort a foetus

We can dye our hair

We can lift our faces

We can change our gender

We can perform euthanasia

We can say what we think

We can not retract it.

We are constantly reminded

   about what and which it is

that are not permitted to erase

   wilfully from our memories.


   Repetition of the mantra’s

    But the victors compiled

     all of our history book’s

    and so it seems to many,

    that the losers were bad!

A Perfect Symbiosis

A Perfect Symbiosis


I remember as a wee lad

going out to the front gate

to fetch our delivered milk.


Bottles those days. Their tops

of gold tinfoil had protruding

Braille writing; the date perhaps.


‘Pasteurised’ was embellished

on the glass over Springmount

Dairies, a local bottling company.


It was pints back then and

under the lid for about two

Inches was a layer of the

richest, purest, Irish cream.


One needed to be up before

the hens or risk your bottles

being breached.


Crows beaks were of identical

length to the depth of the cream.


It surely was, a perfect symbiosis.

And olive oil on the soup

Stirred it and suddenly a

I’m an artist I exclaimed

To no-one there, but it

Meant I could stay poor

Wear cast offs from the

Charity shop keep on the

Dole, become unkempt,

Walk everywhere write

Poems that nobody not

Even myself understood,

Mix with the lower classes

Contrive eccentricity roll

My own but let no one see

me buying tickets for Lotto.

No, it is not like squeezing a lemon

And catching the pips before they

Slip into the glass of hot water and

Honey


Nor is it like pouring the *** of

Boiled water into a sieve to dry

Spaghetti which oddly enough

Looks like a brain


Filtering fear is a different process

Because the gauze though meant

To draw **** from the wound, it

Coagulates and obstructs


So, one has to make accommodations

For uncertainty when living outside

The security fences where most people

Are too frightened to venture or be strained.

The Uneven Match
Ryan O'Leary May 2022
The World Versus Russia
----------------------------------


At the Stadium of Ukraine,


Jens Stolenberg is referee.


The Reds won the toss and


Decided to play from north


To south in the first half.


Now they are playing east


West against a strong wind


From the NATO ****’s but


Despite some hard tackling


And a lot of early scores by


The opponents, The Reds


Have most possession.


Due to injuries, subs are


Being changed both sides.


If the game goes to a shoot


Out,  the Nato ****’s are


Most likely to take the first


Shot as happened in 1945


During the last world coup.

Based on greed, it epitomises

If this ambition was confined
to their own country, then fine,

let them have their cake and
eat it, but alas they want more.

More off other nations plates
but this will be their downfall,
