We've got to talk about it

#179 A True Gentleman

He was a Gentleman to you

He wasn’t to me

You  saw the nice side

You don’t want to know what I have  seen

You got the dates and the flowers

I had to deal with his frustration

In the late hours

During the day he was very nice

During the night you would cross over

Without thinking twice

No one saw this side which was kept hidden

It was like a never ending dream

One day you will be forgiven

For all the things that I have seem

Facebook Friends

I was approached by someone wanting to have a relationship with me based on my facebook picture.  Well they didn't want a relationship they wanted to be my friend, if you get my meaning.  I stated my main reason for using fb was to post poems.  He told me about himself and his son , how sweet. Anyhow I didn't pursue it.

#178 Our Virtual Relationship

I put I was in a relationship

For all my fb friends to see

I thought you would always like me

I posted messages on your wall

You posted on mine

Then we tumbled out of love

We tweeted our last twitter

Even the return of BEBO

Means we can only hope

To blog Early

Blogged Often

Sadly Google did not foreseen this

Yahoo made a commotion

We still could not be

Could not retweet to how it all was

Now you have unfriend me

I guess you now unlike me

As we have ended our virtual existence

My Avatar says nothing

Of my sadness

Your Avatar hasn’t changed

Big Money to be made in Religion

#170 My Church Your Money
I am going to start my church
I will start it today
As I understand
Big bucks are made this way
It's not original I must confess
The poorer the congregation
The more they need to impress

Stand back watch the money flow
As these poor lambs come through the door
I am definitely going to give this a go
I only have to work one day a week
How difficult can this be ?

I don't have a building
No problem there
With enough collections
You can start anywhere
Doesn't matter what I say
There is nothing original
Whatever they hear
They will surely pay
That's the beauty of this business
It is just that way
How will I get about
A car or a plane
If I can convince them
I have been ordained
The world is my oyster
We'll that's what God would say!

Stopped by the Police

This one needs no explanation

#172 Stopped 
Just been stopped by the feds 
Said they wanted to have a look 
Needed to step out 
Turn off the engine 
Show them my book 
I stood by the side 
Wondering about my fate
How it all looked 
I waved frantically 
To a passing friend
I was glad to see him
I couldn't pretend
He got the code
Came over
Now I felt quite bold
He assessed the situation
They confirmed I would be alright
They were not going to kill me
Well not tonight
They said my papers weren't quite right
They allowed me to drive off
Lucky for me
I had stopped in a busy spot
I drove off nervously
Counting my luck
Realising it could all end differently
If I had said the wrong stuff
A thin line we walk
What determines our fate
Each day in my warrior heart
I remember I am a regal great

In Police Custody

I know this is a song title from the 70's I think it is Marvin Gaye.  I wrote this to remember those who sadly die in Police custody.  I've tried to reference the details of some of the cases I have heard of. Joy Gardener, Ricky Bishop, Roger Sylverster and I 've included the shooting that triggered the riots of 2011 also the Stockwell Shooting.  

Police custody, I believe the Police owe you a duty of care.  Once they have approached you and you are in their custody.  They are responsible for your well being.

#173 If They Come Tonight

If they come for me tonight

would I be ready?

Or would I struggle

Then they make it look like a fight

“They felt threatened”

And had to take my life

Would they bound me like a turkey

With miles of tape

My feet my arms my mouth

Said they didn’t want me to escape

Maybe it would be an assassination

A bullet through a window

Silent and swift

Difficult to prove

Gone so quick

Maybe they would send a swat team

Who would get it all wrong

Assassinate the wrong person

Say they panicked

Had to go, because he was waiting too long

Maybe they will sit on me

Restraining my legs

Five or six of them cutting of my blood supply

My heart would stop

The coroner would say a heart attack

You can’t argue with that

Maybe they would fill my mouth with crack

I will be forced to swallow

So that I could breath

Once in my system

There only one way to leave

They will raid my house

Plant some cash

Drugs money

With all the trappings it brings

I will be draped in gold

Everyone would believe everything

CS gas if I get too rowdy

This one they have to do when I am alone

Not used how it is intended

It ‘s meant to be used in a crowdy

Maybe they will chase me in a car

Then shoot me even though

I am unarmed

Once again claiming

They thought they were in harm

If they should come tonight

Maybe I should just play dead

Mess with their minds

They figure they were too late

Maybe they would take their lives instead

I Just Want To

posted fb 11/07/13

#160 I just want to

I just want to get on with it

Not have to think about what you think

I want to pick up a bottle

Sip some wine

Not viewed as if this was some kind of crime

I want to wear a dress

Having nowhere particular to go

I want to lay in bed

Way after daylight has shown

I want to talk loudly

Express myself proudly

Have long pointless conversations

With whomever I choose on the phone

I want to accept people on face value

Not  get involved in the hierarchy

And my position in this show

It is not a conspiracy , it is just very simply

I want to believe we are all trying

To just get on with our lives

The best way we can

Before we inevitably start dying

Technology has come a long way

#157 Hanging on the Line

Technology has moved on

At an alarming rate

Things we could only dream of

Are now available on a plate

With phones that predict what you are going to say

With apps you can monitor

When last you saw your friend

Is this the begin

Or is this the end

Of the simpler life

Do we all have to get on board

Or just be left behind

With a phone

With no minutes

Just hanging on the line
