Why Democracy Failed

The reason democracy failed Was the wealth and position it gave And the people that those things attract: The already wealthy elite. As the labouring masses quailed In the face of a duty that grave The self-interested parties attacked And representation went into retreat. Now we have a political... Sign in to see full entry.

Tramp

As welcome as a magpie He lurched his way down barren streets His comfort in one dirty hand - A bottle from which he drank To ease the pain of another day. Too fragmented to cry, He spent his life in full retreat From trials that he couldn't stand And deliverers he wouldn't thank; He had taken the... Sign in to see full entry.

Grumpy

Calm as a tornado, As gentle as war, Cool as a volcano Giving what for To anybody in my path When I should have smiled instead; I woke with unintended wrath And leapt out of the wrong side of bed. Sign in to see full entry.

My Christmas Wish (Unfulfilled)

I wish I had a dinosaur With enormous teeth and claws That I could ride through the horde Of people that surround the shops. They'd panic when they heard it roar, And flee as it pointedly gnaws On police officers when it gets bored (I'd keep it on a diet of cops). I'd never have to fight my way...

Let It Be Me

If your body is a temple let me worship, If your body is a fairground let me ride, If your hug is a harbour I'll be your ship, If your body is the shore I'll be the tide. If your body is a river I'll be the bed, If your lips are a flower I'll be the bee If you are a needle I'll be the thread And if... Sign in to see full entry.

To Grow Up

Sometimes I am a child In an adult's form, I smile, gentle, mild And try to conform While inside I blaze with rage I cannot express. When I will grow into my age Is anybody's guess But until I do I will learn To somehow let my anger burn. Sign in to see full entry.

I Am

I am light. I am sorrow and fear, Laughter and hope; I am tenderness and joy. I am shade. I am dawn and night, Remote and near; An icy slope, I am target and decoy, Beloved and betrayed But above all: I am love. Sign in to see full entry.

Errant

Stutter stepped, he walked the halls Searching for something he had lost. Ignoring stumbles, trips and falls, Without concern for time or cost He continued with his silent quest Determined that he should expect To go into his final rest With principals and self respect Having done whatever his...

Untitled

Her body in the moonlight Was a temple of desire As he worshipped every swell And every curve, His silent prayer of delight Left a trail of sultry fire And laid its ecstatic spell On every nerve. His body in the deep shade Held the passion of the sea As she swam the sudden rip tides Of his heart;... Sign in to see full entry.

Better Words

I wish that I could think of better words, Brighter phrases, more clever rhymes Or something that will let me say More of what I truly feel. These efforts sometimes seem absurd: Dim shades of places, thoughts and times That have almost faded away And seem almost unreal; You cannot know what beats... Sign in to see full entry.
