No. 66 :The Solemn Air of Remembrance , 2014

'There will gather  amidst   the solemn air of remembrance ,
Aristocrats and triple - one party state leaders too,
With feathers on their heads , and  galaxies of medals
And swords: their sacred symbolism of wrath .
And board room guerrillas in tweed suits ,front line
They will make emotionally manipulative speeches
To honour the  fallen and the veteran survivors
But don't be fooled by their psychopathic platitudes
For today they are already sending the next lot to kill
Or be killed in places they shouldn't meddle
Some will die and some will return mutilated.
And then what ?.....
There will gather amidst the solemn air of remembrance ...

No. 68; Summer Assault , 2014

Summer's night , all windows wide
2000 cc's approach , churning decibels
Of  belligerent  chants and war drums
Indiscriminately  bombarding men,
Women and children with insults to music
And as  this entity moves on and his
Private tin can of 2 by 3 square metres.
Diminishes from my home .....
Silence! with awe  again reveals herself
And liberates  my eternal connection
To deepest ocean and distant stars...
