Love

Para i)

Love

Free of overbearing lust.

Reading writing giving.

Making it a must. 

        To justify that charity

         By DNA or Deity

         Born to all humanity

To nurture well while you are living.

The Raft

Each of us using allotted space

90 cms square

Privacy being extra rare

We jump off the raft: take our turn:

That the rest  will space earn

Yet others will the pedals turn

Providing power to protect the swimmers there

With sonar for the sharks to scare

no land or rescue: no form of respite can-we earn.

Such is our plight

Yet more swimmers in our sight!!!

What to do with them is the problem

What can “US” do now?

Both question and solution.

One For The Team





  • Smith recent is strolling along with grandson on his shoulder It is a home match and he is an avid West Ham supporter hoping that the lad he is carrying will follow in his footsteps. As they approach the road a West Ham supporter throws the half empty can at the Tottenham team coach “Its people like that who make us ashamed of ourselves” he remarks.
  • Now moving somewhat forward to the away game a similar situation developes . Once again the home side supporter baptises the away team’s coach,
  • But who is riding on the shoulder as a grandfather inflicts yet anther pearl of wisdom, “Its people like that who make US ashamed of ourselves” he remarks.
  • Optimistic, tortoise like, “the grandson of the original carried” is the answer favoured by Smith..

THE BATTLE DRAWN

(US the tribe of us just not a nation)

Now the problem of the war

For US to make solution

And gain Just retribution

With so many gone before?

With Right, Logistics, Resolve ever equal

Strategy would seem best helpful

But an Enemy?

Far from useful !
