| Today's the Day the Irish give voice Posted: 6/13/2008 10:19:34 AM | Today's the day the Irish give voice
Today is the day The votes are counted The Irish will have spoken The public will have accounted A Treaty or a Constitution A deception by the very few My fate is in your hands Tell the EU what to do A constitutional question Decided by a referendum Only one out of twenty seven I say No Surrendium Don't be coerced By your government machine The bureaucrats of Europe Have hands not so very clean Annual accounts unsigned Audits continually rejected Expense accounts manipulated MEP's corruption detected Transparency denied To the many by the few Deny Europe a greater say Over me and over you Your rights are enshrined By your own national constitution You don't need Brussels To give you devine absolution Democracy is dying The citizen is enraged Once again auld Ireland The world is your stage Stand up to the aggressor Take up the gauntlet Tell the unelected commissioners They can no longer flaunt it Democracy denied To the European public By their national governments Except in the Republic Two hundred million people Denied their democratic vote Go on you bold fenians One last final revolt | |

Two Poles dead Killed by fire What I heard Sounded so dire Handles on doors Not held firm Doors wouldn't open Survivors confirmed Ten mattresses dumped On bedroom floors None placed safely Behind obligatory fire doors Two young men Economic migrants Treated no better Than unwanted vagrants Maximise return Maximise rent Minimise commitment Smoke detectors spent No fire escapes No windows that would open These were words At the Inquest spoken The landlord stood up Spoke words untrue The Coroner was dismayed The relatives they knew Statutory failings Obligations not met As one widow sat in court And silently wept The Coroner was dismayed His hands were tied The landlord I knew That he had lied Solicitors sitting On a watching brief To maximise their profit To capitalise on grief One person not present He failed to arrive The Chief Executive The State had connived Asked to attend To assist the Court He stayed away An arrogant sort Planning misuse Central to the deaths Now only old photographs Are all that is left Resign you b*stard Leave your State job Truth and justice That day were robbed Who are you To be above the law Get back into your hole Go on, go back, crawl Your resignation demand Now sits on your desk Signed from myself Sealed with a kiss To busy to assist The Law of the Land My aren't those in power Awful mighty and grand | |

is he ranting or raving or venting or what if you were in his presence would his mouth ever shut topical and wiser and a great despiser of all that is wrong and he speaks from his gut
reading bird's words takes me to the wee hours I go for days without baths or showers sometimes they are gripping unless he's been tipping then he's more silly than Fawlty Towers | |

Stuff it up your holes You pompous smug asses The peat and bog farmers Fcuked up your compasses Suffer in silence You dictatorial leeches The public failed to listen To your disingenuous speeches Only the few Only the brave Said with one voice Ireland won't be enslaved Confidence gained Confidence accrued Let all European peoples Reclaim democracy anew Throw of the shackles Of our European lords Tell them what we think Of their political frauds To big To large To cumbersome To unweildy To bureaucratic So utterly greedy New voice found Leadership given Bottom up politic Perhaps now driven Take not now The public for granted Your fcukin constitution Was not what was wanted What now Should the Irish vote again To give you the right answer To your one true aim Will democracy be accepted For what now should be Have the people of Ireland Set the rest of Europe free Or shall they be chastised Shall they need to be re-educated Just like in Zambabwi By a leadership that is hated | |

| The Day After Posted: 6/14/2008 4:28:21 AM | The Day After
The mouth has bitten The hand from which it was feed But I fear A terrible price will have to be paid How dare some Paddies Living out in the sticks Act like some Presbyterian Fenians Blood stupid Micks How dare an island No matter how green Stand against the Federalists Preposterous, obsecene Go back Re-educate your illiterate proletariat Whilst we settle upon A second election date Policy has been decided We can't change our plans A President must be appointed Over twenty seven lands Jobs for the boys It's what we do best And a new foreign secretary Now go resit your test We want more powers We want more control Now you stupid fcukin Irish Just do as you are told So the scene is set For the humbling of Mr Cowan As he goes to Europe Head and cap bowing The election result Was all his fault He said he was responsible For bringing Europe to a halt What a fcukin insult What a disgrace How I would love To slap the fat feckers face You stupid cretin You arrogant baffoon Don't you realise Before too soon The public spoke They fully understood They don't need to be lecturered When you are in the mood Can you not accept The public's opinion Is that not part Of European dominion The rule of the Kaiser The rule of French aristocracy Peaks up it's head To subdue Irish democracy The larger states Subvert the weak Now finally listen To the voice of the meek We reject your attempts To subvert our nation For the European Union Is a flawed creation Gordon Brown Should today be so ashamed For he removed my voice He is to blame I was promised a say On this constitutional arrangement But New Labour realised The possible derailment So democracy in the UK Has been once again stiffled Give praise and thanks For the Republican rifles | |

Your integrity of words stand TALL in this chic's world I boldly confess: Birds the best!!!

| To Hammy Posted: 6/14/2008 11:45:43 AM | My words stand tall Cause my member is small And From the day of my birth I was given only one ball So no option have I But to speak words of truth So everything you now hear Is honest, forsooth One ball gives a man Determination I wonder if also It gives him constipation So a 50% man With a very little tool Has to speak words of wisdom For his lack of crown jewels
Speaking of Crown Jewels, It's Good Queen Beth's birthday and she forgot me again!!!!

The Honour's List was published My name was omitted Someone I think Is being dimwitted I'm felt sure Her Majesty Would knight me with her sword Because of my charitable words I would get an award No OBE was granted to me Not even an offer of an MBE No Order of the Bath No knighthood of distinction Will I die a mere pleb With my pending extinction Do my words not shine Bring pleasure to the Palace Is it my double edged sword Or my poisoned chalice What's wrong with me Does my face not fit Yes! I'm getting agitated You devious wee shit* I know the honours Are vetted by you That you are a civil servant And you know I hate you You dish out the honours To the same old clique Old has beens from the threatre You make me sick Old decrepid figures Who suck up to Ministers Who purchase their knighthoods By deals that are sinister Do my words of wisdom My refreshing honest style Not allow you to consider me For a stately old pile No MBE No OBE No KCB No CBE!!!!! No plebs to wait And call me Sir No fingers pointing Or eyes that stare Go on you old fruit On this Queen's anniversary I earned all my letters The hard way at university
Oh fcuk don't start me on the university honours system!!! | |

Equity and friendship Together as one Equals and opposites Having some fun Friends, lovers, partners All together Minds a meeting In all sorts of weather No time for abuse No time for inequality That's not really part Of bonhomie and jovality All men equal Sitting at the pub table No difference recognised Between Cain and Able Treat me as your equal Get treated with respect Don't ever talk down to me Don't show contempt or neglect Friends and companions Some made for life Ups and downs Tribulations and strife Unlike other worlds And parallel lives Where power is not sated And people contrive The world of business The art of politic Where friendship is only A short term fix Where friendship is based On political necessity A short term romance Based on duplicity Where like attracts like Like flies around shit* Politicians and friendship The two don't fit | |

| Seventy Five pounds Posted: 6/14/2008 3:41:53 PM | Seventy Five pounds
Seventy five pounds Seventy five pounds For one child Buried between rubble mounds Is that your final insult To add to the injury When officials of the state Are guilty of perjury Diluted cement With so little strength Reinforcing bars Insufficient diameter and length So many children Found in school rubble No officials yet Facing judicial trouble Only one child Only one child That's all I was allowed Now just a name in a file To old now To again conceive Now this seventy five pounds I can't believe Compensation for my loss! My family demise No more my child Will see China's blue skies Taken not by God But by man's innate greed Who now, who now Will be my seed Tremors a new After quakes persist Take your compensation It will not be missed Bring me instead Those who abused their position Who tampered and reduced The concrete composition Bring me their heads On a silver plate Reclaim their wealth Carve up their estate Place in position New guiding foundations To prevent further more Earthquake devestations Build our new schools Using appropriate specifications To reduce similar tragedies To the Chinese nation | |

| Death Posted: 6/15/2008 12:51:41 PM | Death
The child is born With the sole purpose to die So many years in between We ask ourselves why A beginning and an ending Some time in between What is this all about Life I mean Born to die Our only certain conclusion No mincing of words No obfusion Death sits Waits patiently Time is on his side He will come and take you On your final ride No escape is possible No place to hide No matter your age He seeks his bride The old are his favourites Those still born He cares not for those Left behind to mourn For he will come to collect them Perhaps maybe next week Try as you will To play hide and seek The strong, the mighty The physically fit All one size Into the coffin fit All living things To death will come Someday he will reclaim The moon and the sun Accept the inevitable Loss of father and mother Then death comes to take Your sister and brother He may spare you For a few more years Whilst he collects others Sheading no tears From the dawn of man He now has quite a collection I think he has for us A deadly attraction Death holds no fears For one such as me I have a secret Death won't scare me I'm afraid of living I'm afraid of growing old I fear ineptitude Doing what I am told I fear being a burden On family and friends So when death comes to collect me I'll welcome a dear old friend

| One person's opinion Posted: 6/15/2008 1:15:43 PM | One Person's Opinion
He speaks with such authority The knowledgable man Impressing those who listened I was becoming quite a fan Words rolled easily From his tongue all agreed He's an academic man He impresses even me He voiced his concerns He put forward his views His arguments are persuasive Agreement will ensue Then he presented his opinions Appearing as hard facts I had to be weary Now I could not relax He starts sounding omnipotent He has found his audience receptive As his talk moves ahead He knows they are captive He oversteps the mark His confidence has grown Full of his own self importance He starts plagerising his song Several times I felt Fact and opinion were confused Such was his personality The two became fused I knew I was listening To a political man He twisted and warped The way a politician can Facts became distorted Opinions came to the fore Never once was he cautious Always so self assured The talk became a speech The speech became a lecture Then all of a sudden The audience began to hector He started to appear nervous Even flustered and confused He didn't like it at all When his arguments were abused His facts where challenged By one particular minion Who rightly stated out loud His facts were Only one person's opinion | |

Sneaky men In uniforms wearing Hiding behind walls Unfeeling, uncaring Well positioned To spring their trap Guns pointing We take the wrap No character, no shame Just revenue collectors Three penalty points With their speed detectors Go on smirk With your colleagues goad Another hard working man fined Travelling on the road The playground bully Has found his vocation He's now a police officer Out to save our nation He risks his life Combating serious crime And just for fun He hands out speeding fines It's the law he says I'm just doing my duty As the Inland Revenue Collect's the booty He positions himself On roads that are fast Then he jumps out from behind a wall At the very last Then the whipper snapper Dares to lecture you Yes Mr Office I promise to be good Hard working men Trying to earn and honest days pay Then the tax collector Takes it all away It's health and safety It's all to stop deaths But I'm not having a drink And my brakes are the best No matter Don't argue The big brother state is always right You are to be criminalised If you put up a fight What manner of a man Hides behind a wall Like the school ground sneak Waiting for your downfall This collector of taxes This lacky of the State Oh Mr Police Officer I think you are great A patsy of the State A snake in the grass Demonise the motorist You uniformed ass Gone is my respect For the strong arm of the law As you collect another fine Not seeing your own flaw No public duty Are you doing today Health and safety was not improved As you hid in your lay The car thief, drunk, joy rider They get off with impunity As they drive dangerously With total immunity Routine traps Sprung on the unsuspected Honest citizens criminalised That's only to be expected The State gets wealthy As the poor become poorer You assist in this equation You uniformed whore The criminals have fun Whilst they knife, steal and rape Mr Policeman hides behind walls Isn't it just fvcking great Go on you bastrads remove my licence Remove my job But not my silence Make my family impoverished Cause I can't ply my trade Yes I blame you officer For this tirade A revenue collector That's all you have become You fatherless son With your lazer gun Do I not pay enough My monthly contributions to the state Such is your greed Your hunger won't abate More money, more money The state needs more money So they introduce fines The police laugh cause it's funny Your Inspector is too dim To see the consequences As middle age men And left defenceless No more has the police Got the support of the common man You lackies of oppression You're just the Governement's tax man | |

Careful what you wish for For your dreams may come true One day it happened to me It could happen also to you Prayers said over repeatidly Then perhaps one time heard Your wish at last comes ture Life really seems so absurd How can something so wonderful Happen to me I am so undeserving Why did you answer my plea You give thanks and praise But the thanks may be premature For your ills may just be starting Your wish may ironically be no cure God they say Works in his mysterious ways And the piper plays For the one who readily pays Prayers once answered May change your life course Bring also they may A certain unforseen discourse Who can see the benefits Of things which men desire The consequence of envy May sometimes be so very dire It may well be That prayers that go unheeded Are deliberately so For things not really needed Unanswered prayers May be by deliberation To make us think To encourage hestitation Be careful what you wish for Be careful being in a rush For that thing you most desire Maybe the thing that you will crush Examinations not passed Wealth not received Partners not materialising No response to our selfish need Not prayers unanswered Not us being devinely ignored Simply redirections From a very dangerous alure Careful what you wish for For your dreams may one day come true What looked initially so appealing May be harmful if given to you Wishes that may be granted Can into nightmares turn Then no more will you ever wish No more will you ever yearn | |

| The fall of the EU Posted: 6/17/2008 10:59:00 AM | The fall of the EU
Hypocrites and charlatans From the European Union Have supped the gravy train Should not have my communion Fraud and scandal From our European MPs Reading the papers That's all I see One pays his own company Four Hundred Thousand Pounds Then has to resign Cause the anomaly was found I must be transparent No conflict of interest must have I Then why can't the same rules Apply to them tell me why Chichester pockets Some four hundred grand For representing you and I For representing this land Another called Dover Pays his daughter and wife And I pay increased taxation For the rest of my life Of all the institutions The European Union is the most corrupt Pigs to the trough See the MEPs sup Their audits are a joke Failed year upon year As our MEPs Drink fine wines and not beer Transparency is for us Never for them Secrecy is their code Never to be condemned Reports are kept secret Under a vow of silence They claim to be democratic We are far too compliant Why does the public Tolerate this undemocratic institution Sign no more I beg thee European Constitutions The centre is removed To far from the circumference The public are lethargic Show too much indifference The democratic deficit Has been exposed As the Irish have shown Opposition now grows So Rome fell As did the British Empire So to will European Union Shortly expire When the individual He finally starts to wake up He will see very clearly He is governed by the corrupt The individual Must be empowered No more, no more This is our hour Throw of the shackles Of the bureaucratic machine No more super organisations That reign supreme Finally reclaim power From the Super States Who screw the individual And who the public all hate | |

| Little Things Posted: 6/17/2008 3:01:22 PM | Little Things
I never paid attention Then I was accused Now looking back remembering I feel confused It's the little things I still remember best After all these years Memories surprise and impress So many small things All combine One gells into another Then they all entwine The way she walked Not quite a run Determined to get away From whence she came from A walk, a gait I have not again seen Not the walk Of a catwalk queen The look on her face The smile on her lips Nails bitten deep Into her finger tips Bargain hunting The way she swore The tears she cried And so much more So many small things I can still remember Her fondness for the sun Her dislike of December Her body grew numb In the winter winds So many idiosyncracies So many little whims So many insignificant Little details Why can I still remember The times she was frail Her hunger Her laughter Her anquish Her sorrow The fact she could not Imagine a tomorrow Other images of others Have departed my head Other memories or others Are now long dead Yet the trivia The minutia Every little detail If I open my mind I see them all They all combine They grow They integrate They form a unified whole Each image forms a line And the story is retold So these little things I try to put out of my mind It's called self protection Never meaning to be unkind | |

| No Names Posted: 6/18/2008 1:15:52 AM | No Names
I never knew her name We simply played a game Identities never disclosed As we positioned as we posed Perhaps for only a day, never a year Coming together parting would be no fear No names required between us two Different directions we would pursue Anonymity refreshing no names known No tears either when the bird had flown The mystery, the intrigue all to enjoy Between unknown girl and anonymous boy Much discussed a lot in common Names and addresses always a famine Was she Samantha, Sally or Sue Did it matter to her, to me, to you Names and identities why required To much information to kill the desire Names whisphered in bed before dawn When one was asleep no need to mourn No packages, no phone calls no letters addressed Anonymity and absurdity things I love best | |

| Street Fighting Man Posted: 6/18/2008 10:54:17 AM | Street Fighting Man
Street Fighting Man Odds stacked high Not allowed to question Or to ask why Must know his place Must know his station He has a place A designation Times have moved on The population exploded The rights of the individual By necessity eroded Don't be to concerned The State is all caring Let the state take control It's not being over bearing It's just that there are too many Of the little street people Many who are indifferent Many who are unable The Rights of Man The thoughts of Paine Are no longer valid In this bureaucratic reign Don't fight the odds Give into the system Don't make a fuss Cause no one will listen Just do as you are told Make life easy for yourself Don't argue with the State It's bad for your health Go watch some Big Brother Watch daytime TV See the distractions The State's provided for thee The State is munificent All caring all around Don't make the State angry You'll get pound into the ground Individuality has now gone Protest is at an end The individual has been defeated He and the State are good friends Then every now And every again Comes along a dissident voice Who they call insane The Street Fighting Man Cares not for their titles Or their excuses centred Around economic cycles Sometimes single individuals Can hold back the might of the State So the Street Fighting Man Is the one bureaucracy hates | |

| Lost Love Posted: 6/18/2008 1:34:28 PM | Lost Love
I never lost love It was simply misplaced I looked long and hard But never saw a trace Looked here and there Searched my very soul Looking for love Was like searching for gold No nuggets found Searched in many mines Love lay well hidden No where could I find One caret, two Never much more Sometimes just fools gold Nothing at the central core Looked in the wrong places Mined in the wrong streams Carried away I was With foolish childish dreams Love was not lost It was always there to see Needed simply to look At life realistically Needed to look beyond All that shined and gleamed Needed to remember Life was not as it always seems Needed to remember All that glitters Is not gold And not to listen To all the stories I was told To excavate Deep inside my mind There I would discover The key to love I would find I never lost love It never lost me I just needed to Let my mind run free | |

| Addicted Posted: 6/19/2008 1:25:03 PM | Addicted
New found freedom From the internet screen No more obsessions Once again clean Cravings now gone Withdrawal complete With the internet as my habit I could not compete I heard her call When she was switched off Like the Sirens of old She would then laugh Having drawn me near Suckered me in Too much time on the internet Was a heinous sin Time frittered away Surfing the net Companions and loved ones I did soon forget Now sanity Has been restored My vice has been broken I read books and learn Of things unspoken Living life again Away from the world wide web So many different things Has my mind now fed The new spring growth The migrated birds have returned The feel of the breeze As the computer I have spurned Refreshing experiences Missed for all to long Trying to discover Where I belong Slavery ended The prison sentence complete By the flick of a switch And movement of my feet No more numerous hours No more wasted time Stuck inside the house On the computer on-line
well - weened off slowly! | |

| Walking Woman Posted: 6/21/2008 2:17:55 PM | Walking Woman
With military precision Arms flailing She marches on Arms nearly impailing The force of her arms Flying through the air Onward, forward Never a care With grim determination She moves from A to B Onward in a hurry For all to see Sometimes I see her Out with a friend Both moving frantically I can't comprehend Can they talk and breath At the same time As the arms and legs Move in rhyme Stride upon stride Foot chasing foot Going nowhere inparticular In her bright yellow suit Not running, nor jogging But power walking tonight This lady in her haste Is a frightening sight Arms swinging At 180 degress Then at 90 degree angles Goes her fragile knees Walking so fast But really going nowhere Don't impead her Please don't dare Steely determination Etched on her face As headphones Tightly on ears placed Eye of the Tight Or the 1812 Into her mind The sounds delve Onward, forward Faster, heart pounding The lady power walker Is something astounding | |

Wearing the shamrock Wearing the green Jolly smiling leprechauns Nowhere to be seen No more blarney No more good luck The EU is warning Your decision process sucks Merkel, Berlusconi And Sarkozy to name just a few Want now to tell the Irish Just what to do Behind the pious platitudes Behind the phoney diplomacy The Irish will have to answer To new President Sarkozy No more the Brits Your Imperial masters Now you can blame Europe For forthcoming economic disasters Democratic decisions in theory Are absolutely fine Except if to the Europeans Your decisions are unkiind So theory and practice Have had a divorce So it seems After political discourse The outcome of Lisbon The outcome of Ireland's election Is that you must review and change What is now an irksome distraction You have been misinformed You have been somewhat muddled You were not thinking straight You decision seems befuddled Now you have had your vote Go back and vote once again Listen to us carefully We want no further distain Merkel, Berlusconi And Sarkozy all say Go back review and change Do it our way The fishermen must catch Only that which is allowed You can farm hill sheep But you can't farm many cows Brussels dictates European intervention It needs more powers Hence the New Treaty invention If you can't vote correctly You will simply be by-passed You stupid fcuking Irish Whose voters are an ass So Ireland's democratic Popular wish Is not best served As a cold European dish Cowan goes humbly Cap in his hand Explains his mistakes To Sarkozy's golden tan Instead of saying feck away of Back to your palaces and chateaus Leave Ireland to the Irish Or I'll give you a bloody nose Wars of independence Fought and now lost New colonial masters Now are the Irishman's boss Just like Gordon Borwn A birthright will be sold The Irish and the British Will do as they are told Independence is not valued We can't cope all on our own We must all pay hummage To the European throne Ireland's voice will be ignored It's people subjected To ridicule and laughter As it's decision is rejected It's politicians will sell The Irish birthright To the bureaucrats of Brussels Without much of a fight There is only one way To vote from now on We all must harmonise in unison With the European song Liberty removed The vote made worthless To avoid the French And German curses The old Imperial Europe Is now being reinstated The days of the Prussians And Napoleon once hated If we don't do as we are told Perhaps they will invade Autocrats and bureaucrats Must democracy enslave | |
