We are all the same
Human nature stays forever
Greed, pity, jealousy

What brings a man to **** another man
When is it that enough is enough

Have We yet changed
From the dukes and kings of yore

What is enough for one man
What will be enough for one man
What ever was enough for one man

Times have yet changed
From the time of thinkers
And the times of sticks and stones
We can put a man on the moon quite easily
But its human nature to fall

What makes We different from Them
From the animals around
Because We build machines
Because We destroy the world
and one another.
Seriously **** life.

when I tell my mom I feel sick
the first thing she does
is kiss my forehead to see if I have a fever
and
I just feel like
there's a metaphor there somewhere

Cured salmon glistening
between thick seeded slices.
Three plump tomatoes.
Like castle guards.

I watch in awe:
my toes poke through
knitted holes in the
blanket, fleshy moles.

Nan pushes in The
Thornbirds VHS and
she rambles about
the birds going west.

She says: ‘I’m glad
I can stay here and
not fly anywhere.’
cosy and safe.

Nan places another fleece
blanket on me. We drink
dark hot cocoa and
watch birds from the sofa

In the views of hindsight
Suffering extends
Should have just let it go
The victim within

Love and wonder
Beyond hope
You gave your all
It’s how we cope

They wither on
And leave you
The ones that once
Held you tight
You are but
The black sheep
In a hierarchical
Flight!
Traveler Tim

It’s all good
Shake it off
