"classed" poems
They said there was a drought water was short not enough for domestic use. At first declaring it was nobody's fault it had not rained for a long time! Committing an offence by using a hose pipe truthfully was a load of tripe. Water companies are making a financial killing everyone encouraged not to waste water. More fancy gadgets the public would be willing to buy water use multiplied. As the buzz was building more on any land telling us there was a demand! Thousands of houses built was there a big need statistics only the government held. Groups tried protesting for it not to proceed but fields were still built on. Heavy rains came with more depleted drainage so did the despair and rage. A state of increasing taxes with nothing to show more became classed as poor. Communication with voters becoming very slow the authorities had a strangle hold! As the ban on a non existent drought dragged on more doubters joined the throng! Was there a danger of a growing national threat from people against the elite. Basking in luxury as the masses increasing in debt the drought added more fuel. Restrictions taking away their dignity it turned sour there would be a defining hour. Or is this just a modern nightmare tale? The Foureyed Poet.

Drought!
The birthday song is not a song it's not even a small ditty As it is only four lines long it's really rather ****** There isn't a good chorus so isn't that a pity A catchy tune it has not got and the lyrics are not witty This song's lyrics are so short and there all the ****** same Apart from the 3rd line down when you substitute a name Okay you say "Dear" instead of "To", but its still a basic frame So this is not a song at all so why has it got the fame It's no wonder people alter the words with monkeys in the zoo And looking like these critters and smelling like them too Or changed to bread and butter in the gutter or squashed tomatoes and stew Because the song is so boring so what else can you do Who the hell wrote this song was it someone who's autistic Come on now lets be frank and a bit more realistic If I where to write this song producers would go ballistic I'd get thrown out of the biz and become a lost statistic Just because it's your birthday I'm not singing about happy People are compelled to sing when really its just ****** It's not the best song in the world I don't want to sound so snappy The birthday song is full of crap just like a soiled ***** It's like we are pre programmed even Marilyn Monroe To sing the ****** birthday song just for ****** show But honestly this song is crap and it can surely go And we can stop with the pretence and cease going with the flow When your birthday does arrive and your expecting a big day The time will come when you know your ears are going to pay Cos someone's bound to start it with or without your say Why does it have to be sung does it have to be this way Singing the birthday song should not be a life compulsion Don't succumb to the trend and quash your minds impulsion   Stamp down on the process and enforce a song expulsion Do away with this song and all of its revulsion The birthday song is not a song when it's sixteen words long Half of them are happy birthday that doesn't constitute a song The wording is so ****** thin as thin as a snapped thong And the musical arrangement isn't even strong People should not sing this song not even a small bit Why is it classed as a song we should stop singing it Most of the words are the same and there is a lack of wit So don't sing the birthday song cos it's not a song it's ****

The Birthday Song Is Not A Song

If i could, I would, Carefully take you apart, And put you back together, Piece, by fragile piece, And i would not cease, Until the job was done. Until the sun once again, shone from those lost, wondering eyes, Until the cries that had chained you down, Had been removed from the ground. And if i could, i would, Take my tools And attentively drill out Your insecurities, All those flaws, you believe to be Impurities And ***** in self acceptance so tight, So that never again at night, Would you be reluctant, to hold yourself, As you sparkle in the moonlight. And if i could, i would, Clamp together, Your hopes and dreams, Your self belief, And tie them together at the seams With double knots, So that you never forgot, how Capable you are. I'd take each glittering star, and plant them in the pupils of your eyes, So that each time you cry You'd be reminded of the beauty inside, Of you. And if i could, i would, Paint over your frame work, And tentatively cover up those scars, So you'd never again see the hurt, And never doubt Just how perfectly imperfect you are. And if i could, i would, Saw away your sorrows So when you thought of your tomorrows, You weren't filled with dread, You were filled with joy and hope And optimism instead, So that before you went to bed, You were not filled with self defeating thoughts, Ruminating inside, that pretty little head. And if i could, i would, Weld securely into place, A genuinely happy smile, Across your dainty face, And a hand in yours, So you'd never have to brace Anything alone. And if i could, i would, Disassemble your malfunctioning thought processes And rewire them back together again, With a spanner, in the manner, That meant you were not Classed as insane. I'd unfold and rearrange, The chemical imbalances Within your brain So that the years of disdain, And self blame, Where a thing of the past, I'd put you back together, In a way, that showed you, You were meant to last. And if i could, i would, Attach wings to your spine, So there'd never be a time, That you'd stumble and fall You'd stand tall, You'd rise above it all. And if i could, i would, Take the lonely shadows of your heart, Rip them apart And blaze them, In a light so bright It'd never die out, You would never again doubt All that you are, And all that you can be. And if i could, i would, I'd set you free.

A little birdy told me, hearts and souls are mouldy, Walk with me, talk with me on this journey of doubt, You'll question people and you'll question the drought, of honesty people lie about, because It's time to scout, For people of kindness on earth, From birth, I think I've been cursed It gets worse, as I rap this verse, I'm trying to explain how life can be complicated, Because we're all intoxicated, muffled in fumes of disease and fleas that cling onto your skin, Use the energy within, and repel them this is where your journey will begin, I've been searching for a moment or a pin, point in time, When these rhymes and lines will be classed as devine, as I perfect and refine, I'm just wondering how many times I can assign the same rhyme, so all sit back with a glass of wine, whilst I intertwine every line, lyrics so evil I'm committing a crime, maybe I'll get a statue, maybe a shrine, I need to switch it up so let's all decline, but you'll remember this verse as one of a kind. Whilst I'm standing still over this hill, I think of moments in life that gave me a thrill, But I remembered the pain and I remember the chill, Of the cold dampened hearts that never seemed to spill, Love or affection, like it's protection they need during the question, should I mention, you never gave me attention, Like the worlds in one convention and I'm stood outside looking in, I grin, whilst I use these forces buried within, to show people in verse what I mean, before the planet isn't green, before the seas collapse and wind is no longer a breeze, We freeze in an ice block, tick Tock, tick Tock we stopped the clock. But no body hears me so everyone listen up, Stop what you're doing and please raise a cup, For stopping global warming and extinction of animals, because we're all valuables on this tiny spec of galaxies, Yet governments plan strategies, to profit from the tragedies, they keep us all living in fantasies, but strike in catastrophes So let's help our families and all become one, before we've got none and everything we love and everything we feel is gone, Putting a bet on the apocalypse, odds are 10 to none, So hold hands with me now let's rejoice in song!

mental illness
How stand thee tall, judgemental,now? How dost thou choose thy bread? When all around thee, finger pointers, leer and shake their head. Have you found a sphere of comfort here, whilst perched upon thy throne? Has it ever really bothered you, that esconced, you're quite alone? You live with dire restrictions, imposed so harshly by the Court And as socially, classed an isolate, it affects you more than ought. Though recompensed so generously you feel the pressure bound Because each and every day your judgement rendered, must be sound. Each utterance decreed by you must hold good Law intoned Or the Brotherhood Knights Templar shall see you thoroughly dethroned. A Pillar of Society, though one who stands forlorn Is the Judge who'se daily client's words are negatively sworn. The Judge who waits expectantly for that ray of light to shine But is constantly bombarded by the tarnished shade of crime. The loneliness is tangible and corrosive wear extreme For the man who sits in judgement and who'se wisdom must be seen. Marshalg Pukehana 13 January 2014

More than a Millionaire
I think that we should analyse their tax affairs disturb and sift the little truth from all the lies and then we'll see just how they've cheated you and me. But would you bother? ask yourself, or leave the ledgers on the shelf to gather dust? Dodgy dealing? what they do is classed as stealing ripping off the system claiming while they're unemployed but they're working and that gets me annoyed. I pay my tax I pay my dues why think that I'll be quiet if they continue to abuse the welfare state? The outcome? Well we wait to see what's in the store of apathy.

The accountant
The many city blocks once quiet and safe normally busy with the locals. Classed as a multi cultural communities no longer has the same feel.! Spontaneous trouble erupted on the streets organised with thousand of tweets. After dark the mayhem was orchestrated and expanding into a war zone. Police were unable to regain control as the gangs had a free hand! Businesses, homes were robbed and looted the air with smoke polluted. Gangs roaming in violent mischievous packs no fear of police respect was gone. A new era had dawned upon the English public unprecedented violation on the nation. Incredibly lost lives and injuries were not more as people's worlds lay on the floor. To long a delay in the politicians reaction why no action taken before? Before the young made a mockery of the law reinventing mob rule! Is it true our leaders are not really effected and are no longer respected? Without the confidence and trust of the public the simmering tension will rise! When the criminals and anarchist begin to win what hope for a once proud nation? With no strong government or trusted protection there could be complete disconnection! What will happen next and where? Be careful out there! As into the day the violence would not go away! Is the war really here? The Foureyed Poet.

The Simmering Tension
A milk and two sugars Coffee in a cup Add the water Inhale some steam A hit of caffeine To start the day It keeps me awake So I can play A cold frosty morning I require some warmth The kettle is boiling It's time for a cuppa Joes in demand He lives in a *** Classed as my best friend He's all that I've got

Not poetry, just reminiscing When I came out of the army in 1985 after serving for 24 years I settled in the county of Suffolk where my first wife came from Suffolk with old fashioned ideas and old fashioned views. In fact unless you had been resident for at least 20 years some of the villagers still classed you as an outsider. Anyway I decided to get an allotment (not sure what you call them in the U S) so that I could grow my own vegetables. Just across from me was the plot rented by Allen, 70 going on a hundred years old. I never did find out. Anyway it was early spring and I stood there scratching my head when Allen wandered over " What's up boy" he said I explained that I was new to the area and new to growing vegetables and wasn't to sure about when to start getting seed into the ground He looked at me with those timeless eyes and said "Sit bare arsed on the ground boy and if your **** still ain't cold after 10 minutes then that'll be the time to sow"

Old Country Boys
If i could, I would, Carefully take you apart, And put you back together, Piece, by fragile piece, And i would not cease, Until the job was done. Until the sun once again, shone from those lost, wondering eyes, Until the cries that had chained you down, Had been removed from the ground. And if i could, i would, Take my tools And attentively drill out Your insecurities, All those flaws, you believe to be Impurities And ***** in self acceptance so tight, So that never again at night, Would you be reluctant, to hold yourself, As you sparkle in the moonlight. And if i could, i would, Clamp together, Your hopes and dreams, Your self belief, And tie them together at the seams With double knots, So that you never forgot, how Capable you are. I'd take each glittering star, and plant them in the pupils of your eyes, So that each time you cry You'd be reminded of the beauty inside, Of you. And if i could, i would, Paint over your frame work, And tentatively cover up those scars, So you'd never again see the hurt, And never doubt Just how perfectly imperfect you are. And if i could, i would, Saw away your sorrows So when you thought of your tomorrows, You weren't filled with dread, You were filled with joy and hope And optimism instead, So that before you went to bed, You were not filled with self defeating thoughts, Ruminating inside, that pretty little head. And if i could, i would, Weld securely into place, A genuinely happy smile, Across your dainty face, And a hand in yours, So you'd never have to brace Anything alone. And if i could, i would, Disassemble your malfunctioning thought processes And rewire them back together again, With a spanner, in the manner, That meant you were not Classed as insane. I'd unfold and rearrange, The chemical imbalances Within your brain So that the years of disdain, And self blame, Where a thing of the past, I'd put you back together, In a way, that showed you, You were meant to last. And if i could, i would, Attach wings to your spine, So there'd never be a time, That you'd stumble and fall You'd stand tall, You'd rise above it all. And if i could, i would, Take the lonely shadows of your heart, Rip them apart And blaze them, In a light so bright It'd never die out, You would never again doubt All that you are, And all that you can be. And if i could, i would, I'd set you free.

Love Story This is a love story of a different sort, he was a ****** she was an escort. He had the night off and feeling lonely, eating his cheese, crackers and pepperoni. Called a girl he once knew, she is an escort, and making her debut. She was there in an hour, she was fat and he had no flour. She told him fifty bucks, and I'm all yours, she barely fit through any of his doors. He said, I never knew you were a ********** she said, I didn't come here for you to prosecute. No, no he said that's not it, I miss hanging out, I must admit. They talked all night, and she charged no money, life is strange and even sometimes funny. They both quit their illegal jobs, every night they would make love like Gods. After a week they got hitched, it was like together, they got stitched. She found a job at a bank, he started driving an oil tank. She exercised and lost some weight, he said, **** baby you look great. They lived a happy middle classed life, but very happy as husband and wife. They had a baby, then another, he was a good dad, and her a good mother. They were living happily ever after, till he died falling off a very high rafter. Turned their lives into shreds, no more stitches, broken was the threads. After a while they moved on, finally the numbness was all gone. She hooked up with a new man, kids chopped him up and stuck him in a can. They didn't want a new daddy, mommy got depressed and again became a fatty.

Love Story
I was never all there! I heard that so often. He isn't listening, I couldn't hear you with all the noise. I once heard a teacher describe me, He has an intermittent short circuit. Thirty years ago I was just classed as uninterested or lazy or simply thick! Sometimes it threw me back to reset. I was lost and confused, you hugged me I lashed out. I remember building a space station at School when others saw a freak. Sometimes I would just jump to a different program, you call it ADHD now. It was self defence. But sometimes on special days it threw me into the future. People spoke like I was in another time or another universe. But none of you could see them. I often asked them "Hello, who am I?" They just smiled. I don't know if I'm better or worse or understand more. I no longer ask.

Where?
I was sunshine At the top of mountains Out classed diamonds I was the stars in your night sky I was the only one in your eyes But I shot you down Killed you with my lies I was dressed as beauty Evil in disguise A clone of what you thought was perfect Every angle you thought you knew Now a stranger It was you and me, And eternity Now it's just you Without me Your stronger without me You can out do the sea Your like an unexplored galaxy Just remember the good times And dont forget me

Don't forget me
Like a discarded folly it stands abandoned a building for the people. Yet now it's been neglected by the council there in that prominent position. Time and weather has not been a friend as many wish for it's end! The council did not want the listed building letting it become a wreck. Repairing and upgrading others around urgent repairs had to be done. The owners who bought it for a pound just couldn't be found! Boarded up and classed as still unsafe even with a grade two listing. Yet it totters on the edge of its destruction oppressive when you stare. The building for years has not been used watching it being abused! Discarded this was the communities centre that should be preserved. Give that splendour back to this town's core a focal point create a roar! The Foureyed Poet.

Discarded
My own apathy terrifies me. How much do I care? Not enough. How much do I care? Not enough. How much do I care? Not enough. And the worst part is That measurement isn't borrowed It comes from my own jug but when I wasn't looking Someone poured out all the motivation and compassion. I had a dream my mother was dying I woke up with overflowing eyes Not because I was sad But because in the dream I didn't care and I knew I was supposed to. I broke my brother's arm by launching him into the air and Forgetting that he had only his own Fragile body to land on top of no that's a lie I didn't forget but I though he broke his neck And when the siren started blaring I knew that wasn't it and I didn't feel so sad anymore. Don't get the wrong idea I'm not a completely cold-hearted ***** This I know because I cry watching Anastasia Every ******* Time I donate to charity And don't let them give me the sticker to prove it I love small children and animals! That's a lie I've had to clean up ***** from both of those groups. And I've never made myself throw up but sometimes I forget to eat that's a lie I just can't be bothered Am I lethargic because that's typical of a teenager Or am I Only classed as typical teenager because I'm lethargic? I lie on my bed as still as a corpse And never once Think about death because Why does it matter? That's the only question He doesn't have an answer to Because I swear This boy is the second coming of Socrates He makes me think of Shakespeare And knowing i'm going to see him the next day is like waiting for Santa Claus. My own empathy terrifies me. How much do I care? Too much. How much do I care? Too much. How much do I care? Too much. And the worst part is The possibility That he might care about me too.
