You bring the light that saves

You bring the light that saves 

You are the brave

the one who stands true

the spark in me and you

you are the soul

the one who loves through and throughout 

no doubt 

The one who believes 

breathe the light

don’t give up your fight

this is your right

born without a sign

divine 

I was your first word 

I will fly to you like a bird

goddess of love

My friend from above

Cannot keep looking for love with mirrors and mirror people 

I looked to my parents to show me love 

and god above

but I remember so little of my traumatic past 

cast into the fires of hell

where I can’t tell 

heaven from hades 

light from shade 

a knife a blade from a blade of grass

I look to be fore filled 

which of our wills

is greater

I am no hater of humanity

we are all mirrors 

of what we’ve been shown

but I won’t end up cold and alone

by choice 

I will find my inner voice 

my inner sense 

of love 

because I am stronger than relying on friends 

and family to tell me who I am

I don’t need my reflection to know I am real

I clench at this life with zeal

and eyes of steely determination.

Unseen

I live in the sadness and the madness of being unseen

I dream

of beauty

having a beautiful woman’s smile in my eyes 

starry skies 

Holding her hand

but this life happens in the meantime

Unplanned 

I am unseen invisible 

divisible miserable behind four walls 

a boy born with a huge soul 

now small

My confidence and ego a full ballon 

then shrinking like a soggy deflated one

like lungs I breathe in life

and exhale sadness 

madness is all I have but aren’t we all the same?

invisible and visceral ethereal like ghosts 

people pleasing and wheezing just to be heard…

Capitalism will eat us all

First it came in the name of being free
and having dignity
no more slavery
Then it gave us recession
We turned on ourselves
Austerity’s court was in session
boom and bust
lusting after other peoples wealth
Tax havens for the rich governed by stealth
then came war epidemics and famine
we turned on ourselves
shops shelves bare
we only care
about our own
immigrants were the first to be enslaved or deported
then the disabled who couldn’t work
were eaten up but the system
Under the guise of fairness,Eugenics
and pandemics
then the working class were enslaved again
under the pen
and keyboards of corporations
The middle class became the working class again
While billionaires became trillionaires
Meanwhile planet earth festered and burned
and the rich found that you can’t eat digital currency and cash
as we dreamt of a bubble that burst like a infected gash.
Love was always the answer
hatred is a cancer
I wonder when we realise the path we are on
was the wrong one
