A daydreamer or ADD sufferer

Tune out switch off 

Disassociate cough

wheeze

Run off pace never be free

only in daydreams

only in dreams 

only in nightmares 

and screams

Empathy searching for threats

which threaten you

answer in delusions cruel 

criticise your attention span

you’re thick often man!

you don’t understand the problem

but any happiness we’ve robbed you of

every piece of joy

ever since you were a little boy

your mum was stressed

screaming unavailable with hardly any hugs to bless

your Dad a big brother lost

the price of care and all it cost

Never mind you carry on but the exits 

Been hexed 

you reach out but you’re vexed

No one can love you 

it burns through your life 

like a candle slowly waxing burning away

into the terrible unconscious unconfident ways

which have haunted you 

anxiety insanity no one cares they are fighting their own battles with despair.

Deceiver

Trust my truth

don’t mind the proof

it’s gaping hole

it’s lost soul

Feel my game

the blame game 

immigrants are there to blame 

says the same man who owns millions

and has aspirations to own billions 

A politician 

a political movement 

lacks improvement 

just another bowel moment 

just another noun

sounding out to name his enemy

stinging like a sea anemone 

giving you an awful rash

and taking votes for cash

Sponsored by 

and lobbied by

big corporations and business 

another rich mess

from Cambridge 

Oxford and Eton

as disabled people are a beaten into mess

filled corner 

and human beings are trafficked and told they have no right to stay even though they were born here

but haven’t got the paperwork 

another office clerk

More bureaucracy

more lies

media moguls 

facebook spies 

the tears of crocodile 

who hunts and preys

on the working class and their delusions 

and takes advantage of their confusion.

Welfare cuts

A poverty trap 

now a map

for the after life 

If there is even one

work work work

in this god forsaken land

until you drop down dead

Because the retirement age has gone up

drink from a cup of black coffee 

If you can afford it

cut back your life 

until you’re a skeleton on the doll

lose your independence until your just a ghost of a soul

Go to the dentist get fleeced 

be told to live within your means 

and be told your disabled and unclean

til all of humanity are hard and mean

and there’s no kindness in this world 

in any boy or girl

we live in a vicious Victorianesque country 

where productivity and making more billions and billionaires is the only reason for living

and poverty is unforgiving 

As we eat the scraps and take the meds 

of a capitalist world view

that doesn’t care about anything but making more profit.

In the beginning there was Mind

In the beginning 

There’s was mind

then there were thoughts

written in time

We were twin flames 

I was your first word 

you are my soul 

I come from you

as we all do 

Soul spirit and happenings

became time

you Alice Sophia holiest of spirits

are my reason and rhyme

thoughts and souls entwined 

We are one torn in two

I love you more than you think I do

I want to take you home

where we can roam free

But the fire waits for you and me

One last test to be free…

Facing Mortality

Facing Mortality 

Facing dreary days 

Death is a book read

the ending said outloud

I might have 20 good years left

schizophrenics die sooner than Neurotypicals

I believe our consciousness lives on

after this skin fails

A skeleton flails in the dark gasping for air in its lungs

while its soul breaks free

of the old carcass or chrysalis 

in a way I have been searching for a exit

no need to hex it

let’s go 

this life a daydreaming visage 

a stage we barge through

Without any dialogue 

only what we choose

My circumstances bruise

what can life do but promise a lot

then end 

I love you all message click send 

Maslow’s pyramid

Ensnared enslaved 

by not having our needs met.

A modern day trap, a net

Their self efficacy built upon the billions 

who will never have their needs addressed 

just giving them their trauma and stress

No room for karma 

just workers enslaved by big pharma

and tech 

living on the streets or renting 

Never venting 

never getting to the top

just growing rich peoples crops 

the pyramid weighs us down 

the weight of a rich persons crown

who’s only thoughts get activated and actualised 

while bullying billions of lives.

we cannot reach the top

too many distractions and traps

Life is unfair it has no map.

Maslow’s pyramid or is it a mountain to climb

life is unfair this poem shows the reason and rhyme.

The Throwaway poet

A Throwaway poet

With throwaway poems 

trying to sow seeds of change

to rearrange 

Your thoughts and life

My rhymes are tight

but like paper I recycle ideas 

put them in new ways 

to pave the roads to futures unseen

where we can dream

I am a poet put my poetry in the bin 

read once but change within

come back and memorise my verse.

I am the vessel for my pen

even when

you can’t see me I am philosophising

comprising 

of revolutionary action

but maybe I am too much of a distraction 

to make you do any action

or you are too distracted 

with your contract

your job

To bother with Dan

I am just a man

who thinks he can write poetry 

so throw my digital poems in your recycling bin

and letter the paper burn

or compost

I am you and all you have lost

I am the pages 

the war you wage

from this desperate stage

In this level of the game

you can throw me away but you will know my name.

Darkness turning into light

Darkness turning into light

my fright turning into fight

all sadness I restrained

turned into love

my eyes focused on her

my picture on the wall

a flower opening her petals like wings 

begins to make me sing 

I know my true foes are triumph and disaster 

both are foolish things to master

I am time 

the fading 

into blades of grass

then emerging into the everlasting 

I am cast into the fiery furnaces of hell

tempered by water the river banks swell 

the steel of sword that comes out my mouth

Will protect the people I love

but sometimes will fly away like doves

and the bullets fired 

Will miss

and we will kiss them away

with words that heal

and reveal

hidden truths

like super sleuths

and detectives

that are respected.
