Jamaican Bride
White whiter still
The smile so clear
I remember it and
Will do so forever
As you drifted through
The garden into view
By your side your father
Smiles mingled and spread
They crossed before you
Reaching our friends
Then bouncing back to you
We waited
I nervous but so so happy
The wind whipped up the garden
Into a frenzied dance
We watched your beauty walk in
A frozen moment
Our friends looked
Ady shuffled by Nic’s side
Helen and Roop’s beamed
Kim filmed as Debbie shot
And your mum shone
By my side
Then the preacher opened his good book
We came together
As the blue rushed up the beach
Each wave scrambling up
The bleached white sand
Jostling the sea horses and star fish
For the best view
And Jesus went to Galilee
And we swore
And became one
And your deep beauty
Eclipsed all this
Out did the falling sun
Your eyes a deeper blue
Than the ocean looking on
You dazzled the tropical flowers
That watched from their stand in the garden
And you smiled
And we all laughed
And your mum shone
And we where Married

The Sun
The Sun
And when the white coat nods
That all is done
The very place that life begun
Then flickers turn to rising mist
And light is dimmed to never burn here again
All around the darkness does embrace
When solemn grey
Becomes the mask of stolen smile
And where the candle passed around its warmth
Now cool and still abound
A slight noise
A breath to help you burn
Now silent but for
A teardrop to the ground
You burned more brightly than the sun
And now our darkest days begun
And when we woke
From what we thought a dream
The hammer clattered
On the steel of truth
That you had left
Never for us to speak again
But then the curtains are turned back
And the spring sunshine pours in through
And you our son and you shine free
Fanned by the winds
Of all eternity
And when the white coat nods
That all is done
The very place that life begun
Then flickers turn to rising mist
And light is dimmed to never burn here again
All around the darkness does embrace
When solemn grey
Becomes the mask of stolen smile
And where the candle passed around its warmth
Now cool and still abound
A slight noise
A breath to help you burn
Now silent but for
A teardrop to the ground
You burned more brightly than the sun
And now our darkest days begun
And when we woke
From what we thought a dream
The hammer clattered
On the steel of truth
That you had left
Never for us to speak again
But then the curtains are turned back
And the spring sunshine pours in through
And you our son and you shine free
Fanned by the winds
Of all eternity
I Paid The Ferryman
Poetry 2004
Grey might
Strange but spring arrives regardless
Of how we treat it through the years
Totally oblivious the crocus
To the poor old humans plight
The sun warmed neck of a snowdrop
Would bow down beneath the sun
Even if we were not here to witness
It being done
The gulls don’t care, because they are unaware
Of the grey might sailing underneath
And its destiny like its ancestry
On a futile trip to sea
His fellow gulls
With there mocking screams
Or mimics of the loved ones tears
As they glide through
black, out and on
Through Pompeys tired eyes

Emerald world
Emerald world
When efforts turn away
From toils that always fail
Turning labour to the plough
Instead of wasted stride
No mans eyes shall see again
Your hate filled or forgiving stare
No rage flared nostrils through the flames
And evil withers in its pain
When the good reap all rewards
And flowers wrap the blades of swords
And falling rain turns steel to dust
That blows out on the summer’s breath
When youth tires of ancestral past
Turns instead to hold the hands of foes
And share the warmth of his caress
As peace grows wild from friendships sowed
A carpet creeps across the line
That once barbed wire would divide
And emerald fields walk out of sight
On every hill in all mans eyes
The summer rain feeds the growth
And fertile soil holds fast
And all that witness understand
Life and love grow hand in hand
In time the planets fresh cut wounds
Are healed by summer time
And the only race is all mankind
With sunshine on their mind
When efforts turn away
From toils that always fail
Turning labour to the plough
Instead of wasted stride
No mans eyes shall see again
Your hate filled or forgiving stare
No rage flared nostrils through the flames
And evil withers in its pain
When the good reap all rewards
And flowers wrap the blades of swords
And falling rain turns steel to dust
That blows out on the summer’s breath
When youth tires of ancestral past
Turns instead to hold the hands of foes
And share the warmth of his caress
As peace grows wild from friendships sowed
A carpet creeps across the line
That once barbed wire would divide

And all that witness understand
Life and love grow hand in hand
In time the planets fresh cut wounds
Are healed by summer time
And the only race is all mankind

The Occupy Movement
can a none violent protest group remove the rich from power
Occupy has gone about their business without violence so they have been rewarded with police brutality and forced removal
we are the masses we can now communicate better using social media
68 million people in the UK and 600 politicians
we are lied to once they get into power
if we don't vote they get in because their supporters have no competition
if we do vote we vote for a party we do not wish to elect
a simple way forward is for independent socialists to stand along with any other independent candidates a deposit of £500 is put down and the support of unions in this could allow us to field hundreds of independent candidates
this group then gets a free mail slot for the whole of the constituency
we can then put pressure on the media for coverage of the candidates and tweet their support online
we need backers and volunteers to stand
and take back this party system for the real democracy of the real people of this nation and all nations
politicians working online for the people workers and poor without the influence of backers or business FREE DEMOCRACY FOR OUR TIMES
WE NEED THE UNIONS AND SUPPORTERS ON BOARD FOR A REVOLUTION AGAINST THE PARTIES

Capitalism the corpse replaced by the workers republic
we are in the end days for capitalism a system of boom and bust cycles that destroys the lives of the poor.
The workers are slaves and they are used to produce income for the rich capitalist slave masters
Humanity under the Occupy Movement now begin the great struggle to eradicate the cancerous bile of the capitalist
Banks are bleeding to death the euro is debt
and we the workers are breaking free
we now need to start with the requirements for the best way for humanity to live in freedom
1 we want peace but must bare arms to protect our system as the Paris Commune failed to do
2 we must enable the workers to benefit from their production
3 the socialist intelligentsia must not be allowed to take over from the workers
4 politicians will be independent and political parties will be smashed
5 peace will be our number one objective
6 the Internet will be our tool for the people to talk with the managers there will not be and hierarchy we will all be involved a cooperative
7 we will have zero unemployment all will have work
8 we will collect each ten years the peoples requirements for them and their families
9 education and health care will be free
fuel will be state owned
water and transport state owned
10 the managers will be replaced if this is the wish of the people at any stage of their employment following an e vote
we want ideas from the nations and world great thinkers
for the way to build a nation led by the workers for the workers
please put your ideas down it is our nation

we need to get the brakes on
we need to grow our food at home
farmers with small holdings should plough using the horse no more diesel price hikes tractor parts etc the cost would be lower and free manure
we need to use sailing ships to move goods overseas with the free wind power backed by motor they would save billions
we need to harness the power of the rivers and seas for our energy while designing homes that use less
we need to live off the land and socialise with our neighbours start enjoying their company and stop the competition
across the world we should introduce a 4 day week creating jobs for some and time for others
families should be encourage to live near each other and the state care system would be redundant
we need more nights Sat by log fires under the stars enjoying the company of others
