For a Patch of Earth


For a patch of earth.

Our compassioned dirth,
will spill innocent blood.

Brand ill lands,
with crimson floods.

Whilst a child’s laugh is killed,
for evil’s mirth.

All for a patch of earth.

Poisoned woven threads,
will purge this quilt of man.

Until the cloven seabeds,
swallow the guilts of man.

And, as the frost binds,
to eternal night,
sewn are our rimed
stars in place.

Iced berth, under which,
we will be made to lie,
freezed, at the seam, splits
our tawdry face.

All for a patch of earth.

Our human nation divided
by it’s stringly purse.

Fabricated to betide our
conquered curse.

All for a patch of earth.

A sinking feeling


The ever swelling sea

Is a discomfort blanket sloshing

Whispers woe by telling me,

“Innocent bodies will need washing.”


The rain clouds dark and dusky

Frown upon each town and city

With a thunderous tone so husky

Pitter patter has turned to pity.


Breaking banks without a penny

Snaking slalom; this rising river

Floods the hearts and souls of many

Destructive venom is delivered.


Questions for those with plenty…

Your thirst is quenched –

What remains?

A glass half full?

Or just empty?

As loss asphyxiates the gains.
