Right now, my view of the world seems to be from the point of view of me wearing my ‘scepticals’. 90%+ of all the music I’m hearing is either so cliché it hurts, or so experimental and unpalatable I want to scream. The only thing to do is to revisit the 60s and become more obscure with the ba...

The lyrics for my 'Cry Wolf' song were taken from this poem I had written called  "Optimisn't "

Banality of thought,
Clichés all around,
I’ve read it before,
Ideas used to the ground…

I could follow it through,
You could shout at me more,
I could make it all up,

He’s a Card

Sometimes it just feels like,
I'm right, and the rest are left.
How can I please these jokers?
Soulless, left needing; bereft.

How can I leave these jokers?
Homeless, left seething; a mess.

The feeling of knowing that - the feeling I’m seeing.

You’re right it is selfish; That, I don’t think I query,

They say you should write about what you know... but If Socrates followed such advice, he would have written nothing. I never claim to be literate, or well read, of course like the masses i can fake some things, I know what quality is, and sometimes how to get it. I don't read many poems, but I do wr...

For, is it the shots in the dark?

Or the walks in the park,

Or the biting remark,

That we’re living this lark?

 

Those feelings you feel,

When “nothing is real”,

When “Hey Jude” doesn’t heal,

St Pepper , but no meal.

 

For, is it the shots in the dark?

Or the walk...
