Precisely

 

Measure well your measurements

Crudely rough will not suffice

Or with size which truly matters

The metric portion is precise

Pounds and ounces feet and inches

Yards and miles though near or far

A muddled scheme of quantities

Whose goods of weight ‘Avoirdupois’

From a thousandth to the thousands

Is all one needs to understand

Liquids, volumes or the depth of mass

Incrementally they stand

Trust in Me

Promises are trending

More than words can say

Just in case we’re daft enough

And take in their overplay

For the betterment of everyone

They have solutions for the snags

Suddenly a blinding flash

A ‘Never-Never’ gobshite brags

Pleading perfect answers

That any fool can see

At a stroke that crafty bloke

Can tell a fable happily

Then later in the sorry aftermath

As the chaos fallout follows

The phantom presence disappears 

Leaving empty promise hollows

I’m In Charge

The time it took to get us here

In universal terms not long

Hardly any time at all

At lightning speed we grew headstrong

Intelligence our mighty force

Which we supressed in all but few

Keeping knowledge well contained

For pledged devotion ever true

Working hard to pay our leaders price

We build their castles give them gold

Supporting avaricious aims

To leave us bleeding deathly cold

Leaders strive to gain control

To be the top dog in the pound

Writing laws to justify their wars

Too many buried in the ground

Why do we fall for charlatans

Let dark horse dealers play our cash

As we the powerless succumb

To biased brokers smug and brash

Vote For Me I've Been There Bro!

I know I'm a sinner but make me a winner

Story Link

The politician that I am

You guys all know my scene

I’ve kept my stash of candy

Powder pearls, know what I mean?

I stank of dank inside my chamber

As  I bump my trusty blow

Rode the horse on dope of course

My garden weed in pots I grow

But I’m the dude in charge round here

The speed-up  leader of the law

Cos wot I do is not for you

You’ll go inside and that’s for sure

Contradiction

Opposites and counterparts

Nothing always as it is

Changing minds and other kinds

When amateurs take on the whizz

To live a lifetime climbing fences

Not knowing which side you are on

Converted by the argument

Which simply ask’s ‘what now has gone?’

Governed by the awful weather

That changed your view of how things are

Avoiding pleasantries on sunny days

When what you hoped for seems bizarre 

Everyone is taking angry sides

Contending who was right or wrong

Pointing fingers at the other side

There is no question they are wrong

Love At First Look

When first we gaze our image seen

Not quite knowing who we are

Yet most absorbing holds our eye

As we embrace Amour de soi

The who and what looks back at us

We are the very best we’ve got

Constantly we seek reminders

As we reflect that sideways shot

There is no looking forward

At that mirror from afar

Who allows us to love others

Though first we need Amour de soi

A Tune for June

Where fireballs are raining down

Beating rhythmic drums in time

Summers dance of flower petals

Flaming June is in her prime

Here the month of great outdoors

Drenched in warm beguiling smiles

Ocean roars cheer seagull soars

Circle twirling sunlight styles

Spending wistful tranquil evenings

Take in the easy evening air

Warm breezes bring the evening scent

Without a care you sit and stare
