He closed his eyes on his weekly stroll, And pondered on what it would be; if he'd known, That it'd be a golden paved death - he'd lay with his dole. Would all the trench boys still ****** to dug out holes? Many bitter nights with malice to his brain, Thought lasting the hardship would be the 'all okay'. The flag would save him; The flag would eradicate the pain, But the flag hollowed him out and the trench boys all the same. What must we do in such a caviler present age? Sign petitions in false hope of changing the unchanged? The ol' trench boys still rot in sheltered accommodation. Gave their live; their youth; their back and front tooth, For their isolated treasured nation.

Ol' Trench Boys
Transient summers, Forbidden Bluebell fields, Tough times symbolise the pouring of ales. Manicured lawns, Cider drinking Saturdays, Routine discussions about the sun and rain. Hijinx down the watering hole, The great unwashed congregating on Market Day, Smog penetrating the lungs, Forlorn eyes, social decay. Leaders of austerity, Riddled with oppressive policies, The tedious endurement of the morning commute. Sirens cut across Westminster, A quintessential rave anthem, Boxing Day sales, Sheer pandemonium. Revelling in satire, And curtain twitching, Reading racists newspapers, Disenfranchised youth. Icky dance floors with raging hormones, Breath heavy with hops and acrid tobacco. **** drops and winding waists, Ladies bathroom, evil eyes exchanged. Sundays spent hanging, And Mondays depressed, Holy communions, Cladded in your best dress. Suppressed thoughts, And baited breath An Albion filled with oppression and dread.

You only live so I keep my life? why do you speak so much of giving your life in exchange for mine? As fires blaze in the sanctity of our room cards lay out in a gamble I cannot allow you To suffer again To be toyed with or worse Ripped and burned The both of us We'll be filled with love When the executioner comes To collect us

This is our gamble these cards on the table neither of us will be a sacrifice your life for mine what kind of twisted fate lays waste to an innocent being who was trapped in a mechanical hell As gunfire and bonfires chaos explodes take my hand and in our execution let's both go to Elysium.

She talks and asks why I cannot speak She drags me everywhere and has a grand time while I am forced to live in a mechanical body she crafted to me Radio waves are my only means and one sentence repeats in my limited vocal ability I pray for Elysium and the soft grace and rest still she drags me I'm nothing but a doll spirits take me from this prison why must I be forced to live a life already full

Steam,vapour,power,life opens up a mechanical eye springing to life curious scared maniacal laughter thinking they have over come life and death their creation huddled in a corner terrified of what there fate will be Hiding with the one he longs to be with knowing she is engaged to another songs his only way to communicate though she is flesh and he a beast disfigured and hideous still she loves arms grasp peeling off outer layers fall like a sheet behind it lies a soul who's finally free

What I have is a pitch angled at nothing and I envy the limber crowd of bees, and I envy the spider’s easy meal. The low hum of a wash cycle competes with, then dislodges my dirge, gradually builds a golden, natural looking wan expression. Diffident? Go out and meander content to accept the indifference of meaning. This walk is not a protest. This work was only ever play. Suitable for all skin types our explanations can’t help themselves, run like British accents on trade and explain away any need for help. Non-streaking conceits you know best how much you are worth.

The spirit of Jacksonia lies in the tides. But sometimes we never see what the moon hides. The spirit of Albion lies everywhere at all times.
