No To Peace
Ryan O'Leary Mar 1
Mr Trump you have only
been President a month
and already you’re in the
process of stopping two
wars, how dare you ruin
the status quo can’t you
see nobody wants peace.
War means refugees and
mass migration which in
the absence of slavery is
our only alternative for a
cheap sustainable supply
of labour but those dumb
so called patriots who are
pulling down Palestinian
flag’s know nothing about
how economies flourish.
Dear Mr Trump and Putin
can you pull back from all
negotiations & resume war.

Freedom Fries?

Life is a series of choices
varied as palates with an
array of diverse cuisine's.

Native Americans were
christened by an optical
influence e.g Sitting Bull.

I met an Irishman In London
an Under-Pinner like myself,
his name was 2 Pork Chops.

Mario’s wife in Fulham Bdwy
was the best cook known but
Paddy always ate the same.

I got to thinking that he may
have been illiterate or was it
all he ever tasted back home.

Even today, there are those
who eat at McDonalds, I’ve
never darkened their doors.

I’m more alfresco (a la cart)

Ryan O'Leary Feb 28
When I was a wee lad
not old enough to ask
and too young to know

something always had
me thinking, it was no
doubt mind’s etymology

one rarely see’s it now
that which I’ll be telling
if you give me a second

why were houses tied to
crow wire perches which
connected to bare stumps

I couldn’t understood either
why these trees had never
grown branches or leaves

some were like a bicycle
axle, with spokes going
off out in every direction

if I knew then what I now
know and put my ear to the
poles I could hear crosstalk

The neurologist spelt it out

He likened my cognitive

The gap is too wide and the
spark is not getting across.

           Prognosis

There is no feeler gauge for
minds, so it’s the dunces hat.

Expulsion, rejection, addiction,
depression, expatriation, isolation.

Autistic, dyslexic, eccentric,
idiosyncratic, erratic, poetic!

To Those Who Hate Them

When the water evaporates
When the candles go out
There will be salt
There will be grease
Faith can never be filtered
Or the Angelus echo silenced
The Lord is ever present his
Love cannot be extinguished
We are all blessed even those
Who are casting cold eyes
On those of differing colour
Or creeds of distaste and distain
Let us share the planet and its pain
The warmth of its sun and Irish rain.

                    <>

The Irish are showing their true
colours, it is disgusting what’s
happening to homeless refugees.
They are being beaten on the
streets and passers by look on
with glee. I’m appalled ashamed
at the racism the hate it’s shocking.

(‘< Free Speech
Ryan O'Leary Feb 25
AA states that “there are no
rules or fees for membership”
but then they say who you see
here what you hear here when
you leave here let it stay here.
There is no such thing as free
speech, the world is a library in
Wimbledon, “ Quiet Please “

Silence is golden, confessional
boxes are not telephone kiosks,
speak easy, loose lips sink ships,
talk to the trees but never to the
grapevine, bite your lip tongue in
cheek, even the grass whispers.
Tantalus was punished by the gods
for uttering family secrets and Echo,
she only got to repeat the last word.

We cannot must not should not and
will not be ever allowed to air thought,
Cogito Ergo Sum is surely sufficient
unless you want to be a malicious idle
social media gossiper spreading hate.
Albert Camus said that there can be
no creativity without secrecy. In other
words empty vessels make most sound.

Swallow your words and take heed of
Omar Khayyham said in the Rubyiatt.
The moving finger writes and having
writ, moves on. Nor all your piety not
wit can lure it back to cancel half a line
nor all your tears wash out a word of it.

  A shut mouth catches no flies <‘)






All immigrants are welcome
In my Ireland & God bless
America for taking a million
Of us in 1847 lest we forget.

Penny Lane
Ryan O'Leary Feb 24
In the UK it was a
penny for the guy
which was the cost
of an Irish whistle.

But were told that
It’d be far better to
give it to the black
babies than blowing
into one of dim tings.

There was 12 in a bob
or shilling a hen and a
HARP for the Africans
is what the priest said.

We were confused but
never asked and always
thought ‘twas Guinness
that darkened their skin
and the Dublin brewery
said it was good for dim,
so every spare one we
got we gave to Fr. Flynn.

He used to say, if you
haven’t got a penny a
hapeknee will do and
if you haven’t got the
hapeknee then V U 2.

For Francis

As head of the church
I always equated yours
to an egg because the
scull cap reminded me
of a well removed shell
carefully put back just
to keep the yoke warm
until lord of the manor
was ready for his petit
Dejeuner chaque matin.

Long ago at the bumpers
not dodge ems bachelors
in from the country used
lose glasses, false teeth
caps and crown toppers
at the local Irish carnivals.

I have often wondered if
you wore dentures and to
be sure you got the ears of
a Paddy, like Colm Meaney
did you know him, he is the
Irish Gerard Depardieu, see
he has  got Dieu in his name.

That auld ring you used to
wear on your right hand, twas
like one of the wans gypsies
wore at the horse Fair down
at Cahiramee in Buttevant Co
Cork where Napoleon bought
Marengo from a Kerry tinker.

You used to crack me up with
the ******* it always gave
us the idea you were ordering
a couple of pints in a noisy bar.

Towards the end you changed
your glasses, not the Guinness
ones, but lunettes, they looked
great on you, tinted they were I
never thought the shafts were
long enough.Them fcukin ears.

Ambition

That’s was what I supposedly
had none of, a ne’er do well
but it’s not entirely true, since
my teens there was something
I wanted to do, but I never did
muster up enough courage to
attempt it. Given the situation
of fight or flight my adrenaline
gland always supplied me with
enough cortisol for the latter.
I was a failure at school never
passed a single exam not even
the driving test in later life after
five attempts may I add. Jobs
I had scores of and names I had
many too. I never produced a
child, the earth shows up those
of value and those who are good
fir nothing, I’m a **** in that case.
The only thing I excelled at in life
was drinking, I became a black
belt equivalent even got a special
medal from Alcoholics Anonymous
to prove I was a successful toper.
But whats been my ambition you
may be asking! Suicide, believe it
or not, but as in everything else, I
have failed, because I’m a quitter.
