  • Voyage

    From my Mother’s country. On a footloose voyage. Not many of these about. I would have offered my services but they were not recruiting.

  • Waiting to Cross the road


    From the Madhatters days With S Mc Hillbilly


    Stand tip toe on the side-walk yo, Brothers motherfuckers on the Business go 

    sweet profuse and cosmetic roll, yippee do and bless my soul 

      

    Waiting to cross the road 

      

    I know I have been there before but there is plenty more reason to go there one more 

    Collision with moving vehicles can take their toll, A few more split seconds I must afford 

    Now I go across thought I was OK but release I am not, Stop pause wrapped in thought, backed across that road lays a liquor shop 

      

    Waiting to cross the road 

      

    Now I enter the store and say how it is going 

    Radicules are doing good, but signs of weakness are showing 

    If things improve there is no way of knowing, well I got to be going 

    I have some speed to be blowing 

      

    Waiting to cross the road 

      

    With a bottle of Port for Load, like that video came the toad 

    Cars going by my oh my,  slow speed because there is cops inside 

    look to the left look to the right, Almost idiot enough to make one stupidfy 

      

    Waiting to cross the road 

      

    Now it does pay to be to hasty or to bold 

    Better to be careful as Mama told 

      

    Waiting to cross the road 

  • Get up, get on up, get up

    The words to a song .

    Get up, get on up, get up
    Get up, get on up, get up
    Take it out take it back 

    Modern politics is such a bore
    Give me some who says what they feel

    World economics that disinpowers me
     A government that is 500 miles from me

    Get up, get on up, get up
    Get up, get on up, get up
    I am so dazed and confused
    The rain falls mainly on the plain

    Social democracy want it contracted, I want to wake up and feel my rights
    Not too complicated to understand, show me where my taxes go

    We can work for indifference, Protection from whom
    Something worth protecting, Rise up and fight

    Get up, get on up, get up
    Get up, get on up, get up
    Heading to the light
    The rain falls on every one

    Listen to a version of it on Listen to it on Soundcloud amongst other places

  • Where do They go, The Ones that are Not Represented

    The lyrics to the Song, the age-old problem, are available on all good music sites.


    Where do they go, the ones that lost
    the ones, that are not represented
    the ones that are lost
    who tried for something better
    but did not get it
     
    Democracy divides by the choices you make
    putting one side against the other, with a loser  guaranteed
     
    It is not freedom
    Even though there is a choice
    a choice that was not defined
    by you and I
    but by halls of power
    by the people who should know better
     
    How can it be when all people
    Can breathe so easily, yet can not live by one another
    that one can be so afraid and close the door on one  another
     
    Democracy divides by the choice
    put one side against the crack
    with  a loser guaranteed
     
    There has got to be another way
    there has got to be another way
    there has got to be another way

  • Bollocks, not the Bull sort

    This is going to be interesting – (subscribe)

    So, we have reached a point along this journey. My brain seems to have clicked and decided to make some changes.

    I think Twitter’s not for me. Maybe it’s just what it’s become. It doesn’t seem to engage me in the way I need to be engaged, and there’s probably a lot of suffering somewhere on that platform. Of course, it is not the only platform.

    Of course, the challenge is to organize one’s thoughts into something meaningful. Once you find an audience, however, that doesn’t seem to be happening on X.

    So, I took the plunge and opened up a Nostra account and started an email subscription account. I like the way it’s made Nostr. It makes you think. My decision isn’t so much about the freedom to write what you will, although that could be important. It is more to organise and focus my thoughts and ultimately what I do.

    So yeah, if something doesn’t work, you must stop, change it, and do something else. That must be an important life lesson. As they say, the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
