Educate yourself

Educate yourself in common sense and logic, and through logic there will be rationality, and through rationality there will be less fear, because you will understand all the choices laid before you, and the fear of the unknown will be less, and poor choices can be avoided, and because of this, you will be much […]

Edge of the pond

Here I sit at the edge of the pond, as the dragonflies, in their beautiful colours, they hover elegantly about, to the sound of bird song, and in the trees the birds they sing, and they pluck their feathers, and to their partners, they exchange the latest news, and warn of any harm, and of […]

Eddie

Eddie, he polished his boots, he put on his suit, he tied his tie. He took his gun, he took his gun and he prepared to die, and then he combed his hair and for a second, he closed his eyes, and then, he took a deep breath, and reopened them and headed out into […]

Echoes

Echoes and calls, echoes in the halls, echoes and calls, footsteps and banging on the walls, echoes and calls, no peace but a riot of sound disturbing all around, echoes and calls, bloodstained walls, bloodstained walls and dirt and a dirty shirt, shouting from the basement, pipes echoing with noise, the sound of water, the […]

Eating fruit in the sun

Eating fruit in the sun, sat upon a rock, waiting for an earthquake, waiting for a shock.

Easily

Easily slips the day away, easily slips the day away, and how rapidly the night, it wraps you up in its cloak, and how beautiful it is above your head, while you contemplate yourself, and your part in it, and what a place it is the birthplace of you, what a place it is and […]

Early signs

Early signs of the ignorant and the intolerant, a rock through a window, some graffiti upon the bus shelter, a disgruntled council worker, an alcoholic stumbling in the supermarket aisles, yes, early signs of the times, a new day dawning, a homeless person awaking in the doorway, a drug addict stealing someone's wallet, a man […]

Dying

Dying embers of the fire, tired eyes, tired mind, tired heart, sick of caring about myself, sick of trying, sick of the day that the sickness did start, sick of the light, wanting the eternal night sick of being sick, sick of cancer, sick of dying, dying embers of the fire, rising up, tired eyes, […]
