To Dream

As night draws on to early dawn

prostration comes within a yawn

Above the Moon lie starlight skies

You lie in bed and close your eyes

Still silence clears both mind and soul

With darkened view as black as coal

Consciousness slips, as dreams begin

To compose scenes from deep within

Images start to appear

At first in shroud then slowly clear

A message from subconscious mind

Lost thoughts and images combined

A wonderous gift to dream the night

Yet fade away as does starlight

Shattered Dreams

As night draws on to early dawn

Young foxes play upon the lawn

Silence clears the mind and soul

And darkness is as black as coal

Images start to appear

At first dim but slowly clear

Consciousness slips & dreaming starts

Then abruptly shattered by Molly’s farts

And this one’s extra smelly too

I’d better check for follow through

The Night Of The Grenfell Fire

The wind blew toward the West on the night of the Grenfell fire.

The cladding, not to protect but hide, was one cause of this funeral pyre.

As we awoke to the smell of the smoke, during that terrible night,

we switched on the news to see where it was and couldn’t believe the sight.

As the night drew on it was plain to see for many, there was no hope,

Hundreds died on that terrible night, as cut services struggled to cope.

We have to make sure and write into law so this never happens again.

Red tape was there for good reason yet crossed out by Cameron’s pen.

 

Class War

In Kensington Town Hall, the well to do

look down with contempt upon me & you

We’ll stand our ground & won’t let them win

to make sure this tragedy never happens again

they’ve shat upon us for 7 long years

derided, divided, excluded & jeered

austerity forced on those with the least

caused by rich who are still at the feast

jc may the force be with u
