we can't make it rhyme all the time (poetry).
The Beast, or how not to.
Wishing the fighting and starvation would cease
don't you know we're building the perfect beast
Hoping religion can stop the release
can't you see we're building the perfect beast
Perhaps technology would lubricate and grease
is no one aware of the perfect beast
Or even politics could help us to police...
its almost complete, we've built the perfect beast
We've constructed it carefully over a very long time
and so you see were all part of the crime
the beast has been made by our own fair hands
with numerous contributions from all of the lands
And now we can't stop it,its out of control
we can only walk on stage and play our roll
In the end we'll pay the ultimate price
the beast will consume its maker
it will eat the Christ
We could dismantle it if we saw it coming
but its approaching fast and running
it could still be stopped if we looked over our shoulder
Stopped it in its tracks before it gets any older.
Wake up!
this is no bad dream.

weaving through traffic,
like a bug through the bloodstream;
bright jacket, dark bike.
courage to tread
through that lichened, spindly wood.
open to finding
new link, though the footage uncertain;
to keep that balance
which is my soul.
shall take a brush, and with that soul
paint what i know
which a one-eyed camera can never show.
even a Taoist valley
flounders,
when a bully gains power.

Invisible?
Can't you see me?
have I not been seen?
I'm a humanbeing!
You come too close when your wing mirror
brushes my thigh
you cut me up for fun
you shout obcenities why?
in such a hurry
you make me worry
worry for my health
I'm no threat to you or am I?
are you not seeing a humanbeing?
making me jump out of my skin
I'm on the outside looking in...
another tin box zips by so close
i could cry
why do you come so close why?
theres lots of room for us all on here.

Ticking Grrr!
I can hear something catching
its funny 'cause everythings matching
but i can hear something ratcheting
and its winding me up!
Its been doing it for the last five miles
and nothing riles me more
than to hear something ticking
or something constantly clicking
like someone who keeps knocking at the door
I've tried tightening things and shaking
and now my hearts a breaking
'cause all i want is for it to be like it was before
When i get home I'll strip it
as it is I might just kick it
no I'll stop and count to ten
take deep breaths and think Zen...
This is getting out of all proportion
when i'm having these notions
but this thing's still clicking
or is it more a sort of ticking
and now theres a squeak joined in also!

A coming together(incident with a tractor)
i looked down to clear my nose
and to my dismay a tractor arose
I didn't have a chance the blow(not my nose)
was more than a glance
and i couldn't keep my balance
a thud a scrape and a bit of surgical tape
a twiddle with an allen key
and the bike and me
were doing it again
but not with much glee
feeling like a fool, not very cool
we carried on to lunch after the crunch
where we proceeded to munch
and talk intractably!
