The Scots are loyal to the crown
and the half crown, herein lieth,
their dilemma. For be it not, a choice
wherein the spoils of association,
outweigh that, which be a desire of
nationhood at the peril of isolation
as borne by their Celtic Kin across
the Irish sea, where no such thought
of referendum were given consideration,
then don no more the skirts of ridicule
and raze Balmoral to the ground.

There comes a time when we are
all confronted by something or other.

Many people choose their chalenges
imagine the hunger strikers.

What about people on death row
not knowing from one day to the next.

Our destinies are unavoidable, we
wake and begin our daily battles.

Darkness and sleep are an escape for
some, but nightmares exist for others.

Some have fragile minds sensitive perhaps
is a better definition, insomnia saves them.

Daymares are far less frightening than
their nocturnal counterparts.

Sleepwalkers high tail it after they ****
the bed during their amphibious dreams.

Only palindromes can go
the wrong way and get
away with it, rear running

have no sympathy, viewing
them as absolute utter idioms
that deserve to be marginalised

with hard backs after ignoring

There is a rainbow arc
rising and falling over
the skirting board.

The Milky Way can be
seen further up the wall,
a switch of Bakelite is Mars.

North facing in mildew
valley and no damp proof,
of course.

Double glazing adds to the
sporosity, it’s a hermetically
sealed fungal factory.

Mould as old as the hills of
blocked sunlight and wind that
shakes the barley never blows.

Nocturnal        Demons

Melatonin and Cortisol
are a pair of tom cats
  prowling in the dark
   alleys of our minds.

Occasionally they get
into a (fight) but not
until one takes (flight)
does the fracas cease.


Ps

I suffer from night fear
so I write from experience.
In my case, it is not terrors
whilst sleeping, this occurs
when I wake.
Robin Williams suffered from
it as do millions of people.
Research what Williams wrote
on his AA book, google it.
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.

Morphine for the masses
because I've been hurting
you with my conscience.

In the hall of mirrors one
can be distorted beyond
all personal recognition.

But better than that, in the
mind we can even make
ourselves disappear.

Cultivating amnesia is a

of evading mechanism.

One ostrich can do what
normally takes at least
three monkeys to achieve.

So go on, turn a blind eye

If one were to compare
England to France as in
Capitalism to Socialism,
permit me to analogise.

For this, I will use nature
as the yardstick, a squirrel
and a cuckoo.

Yes, the squirrel will amass
more nuts than it requires
for Winter, but one must
consider, durations differ!

The Cuckoo as you
can see is representing
La France and Socialism.

This bird has no ethics,
morals or qualms, about
ejecting fellow species
and squatting their nests.

Parasites of the lowest
common denominator.

Les Francaises in a nutshell!
The French are lazy,
forever complaining,
spilling milk and
surrendering.

You can never stop the wind

   that shakes the barley.


                  <>

If one looked horizontally at

a field of barley, it resembled

a standing army of the British

Empire, (metaphorically).


The invisible wind which had

the ability to taunt and tilt and

haunt, was in fact the I.R.A.


The analogy can be made of

the Israeli Defence Forces in

their effort to fight/find Hamas.


The aerial bombing of Gaza

was futile, because Hamas

are invisible just as the IRA.


Who would have thought

that a population similar to

Gaza collapsed and Empire.


Israel despite all their bombs

and planes and tanks and guns,

will be brought tio their knees.

At a dinner dance for dogs at
Derrybeg in County Donegal,
a sign at the door instructed
each and every species, to
undo their *** holes and hang
them in the cloakroom on
hooks provided.

This was of course, as a result
of the previous years mess on
the dance floor.

All the dogs respected the
request and everything was
going fine, without incident,
until a Dalmatian got into an
argument with a Dachshunde.

During the fracas, a kerosene
lamp was knocked to the floor,
before long, the hall was ablaze.

Smoke filled the corridors, panic
set in, barking howling is all one
could hear as all the dogs rushed
to the cloakroom picking up the
first ******* they could find.

That is why, to this day, in Ireland,
one can see canines in the parks
sniffing other dogs derrieres in
an effort to find their own.

.             Interpreting Perspectives


   “ The only path to peace is political "

If so, why is the only path to politics, war?

Here we are at the old wives tale junction!

       “ Two wrongs don’t make a right “

       Ok then, let us look at an analogy!

    Imagine there are two cigarette lighters,

     one has no gas and the other no flint.

      Time for some lateral thinking here.

    What if, one presses the BIC pedal of

the one with gas and flints with the other.

     Viola eureka, primitive man make fire.

       Without the IRA there would be no

               Good Friday Agreement.

     Without Hamas, there would be no

      recognition of a Palestinian state,

  the world would have remained silent.

And a bottle of Harp Lager

By the time he gets to my

No truer shpake ever shpoken.

Which is why there are no windows in Casino’s.
We do and did feel guilty for not participating
in life. But we never killed a shadow by turning
off the light or left a thirst unquenched by an
open fire and we sang when it was our turn and made
our road home by the longest way round talking
to every dog on the pavement and illuminating our
faces with Maguire and Patterson’s red heads.
But what is more important than all of that is we
are still here because the same now dangles on
the pendulums of eternal dreamers. Sure what

The Truth
About Lucey.


Look at that knife,
out on the street,

carnivore carcasse
dripping red meat.

Beside, a fair lady
she’s ever so neat,

Dressed for a ball
from top to her feet.

She’s Lucey and pretty
not there just to greet,

She’s a rustler at night
she does five every week.

On Saturday she sharpens
the knives by a creek,

On Sunday there’s mass
When after they're meek.

They talk of good Lucey
in a low kind of speak,

It is always their mystery
as to why she's so sleek.

Then home for the roast
the end of week treat,

But nobody knows from
who's lamb they eat!

There are no novels,
no fiction neither, but
actual, camouflaged.

Material for verse
comes not from the
ether, but a muse.

Therein she hides
masked by a suitor
lover to laureate.

Make believe being
fantasy of imagination
given reality in life.

Hiding her on a page
in a maze of words,
iambic pentametre.

She rhymes with his
reason, reads about her
secret self, unknowingly.

Sometimes in simile a
metaphor an anagram
or a figure of speech.

She is spoken of in
her own presence yet
invisible to the crowd.

A creative influence,
a stimulus a deliberate
consideration.

She is nocturnal, a
silent presence felt
in times of solitude.

She’s 'ånne enigma'
thinks she doesn’t
exist, insignificant.

Has he created an
illusion, a mirage, or
a romantic concoction.

He is an avid follower
but does not think he
he subsists for her ?
