Freedom Fighter
Silently and peacefully he lies there in his bed
His god assuredly watches him
Or so his 'bible' said
Protects him in his sleeping hours
Guides him in his prayer
Tends him without prejudice
Man and gun, as one, lie there.

Homosexual woman
Homosexual woman
Never takes the train
Homosexual woman
I can’t get down her lane
Homosexual woman
You can toy with me for real
Homosexual woman
You should know just how I feel
Homosaxual woman
Since you’ve changed your tune
Homosexual woman
There’s a new rug in your room.

Arousal's dark rainbow
Arousal is red
Violence blue
I'll paint bright a picture
And frame it with you.
Arousal is red
Violence is blue
Tears surely follow

I want a girl
I want a girl
Wrapped deep from the cold
Snug warm in her wool hat and scarf
I want a girl
All round to be hold
Red tip on her nose makes me laugh
I want a girl
Who faces, no cares
The chill and the freeze with such class
I want a girl
Who smiles, no tears
When she slips and she falls on her arse
I want a girl
At the end of the day
To take home, unwrap and revive
I want a girl
Who’s happy this way
Content to just feel alive.

A girl sat on a beach
A girl sat on a beach
An empty beach in solitude
Hundreds flocked around her
Alone resting on one arm
Legs to her side
The sun so high
Her frame so small
She left no shadow
She churned sand with a small red plastic spade
Glazed grains sifted
Sieved by a warm gentle breeze
Her family black hair, dry in the heat
Wild in the wind and salt
Her skin ever darkening
Pale blue pants ever lightening
She churned
With the rhythm of a dream
Slow time
Her time
A time where no one could touch her

Pink Pink
pink pink
Confirmed that it was armed
pink pink
Was right to be alarmed
pink pink
Ensured that nought was harmed
pnk pink
Steady hand and mind
pink pink
Micro-chip designed
pink pink
The password was declined
pink pink
Another course to take
pink pink
Caution not to shake
pink pink
Captivity a mistake
pink pink
Beads upon the brow

Slightly educated
So, the World, you’ve made it,
arrived, you’re there at last;
well removed from all before,
oblivious to the past.
You’re smart, you’re cool, you’re learned;
perspectives overflow,
there’s little you can face right now
you feel that you don’t know.
Opinions on the issues,
the answers water-tight,
politics all sound and clear,
unequalled fresh insight.
Yes, you’re now a student, yes…
to ‘Unee’ you now pray,
pay homage to the lifestyle and
the rules you now obey.
Oh sure they’re rules, most definitely,
though you won’t see them so,
as you’ve become enveloped in
a long, familiar, show.
