Death

Gone but not forgotten

How inadequate those words are.

THE BURNING ACHING LOSS

SO INHUMANELY UNFAIR

I WANT TO SCREAM IT OUT,

Until my throat disintegrates

And it shakes me completely apart!

 

Some Thing To Say

I'm just a whinny little bitch

And maybe I want to write something, which

Inspires people to look at life

but, I'm not sure that I often get that right

Poor Little Millennials

Millennials, it’s not their fault,

Their parents failed them, as they prepared to be adults.

They were told they are special, they believe they are special,

They were told that they could have anything they wanted in life,

Just because they want it, get the app, it will simply arrive.

Some of them got things because their parents complained,

And some of them got A’s because it was just easier that way.

Some of them got participation medals for coming in last…

And now they want to censor uni’s, because some of it is hard.

They want everyone to pay for them to get a house,

Their cars and their lives,

Because they want everything

And they want it all now.

Worker's Fight

In Europe

Employees are considered the company’s greatest asset

In Australia

Employees are considered the company’s greatest expense

Australian workers

Give their companies more unpaid hours

That any other workers in the world.

We’ve all been fooled.

Right Wing

What do conservatives believe?

Less govt help for the citizens

And nothing much else.

All for yourself.

The Mail Boy

He pulled his trolley through the door before me

Then he waved me passed with a, "There you go."

And a smile. Pity, I thought, as I strode passed,

I would have enjoyed to look at his arse.

Graduates

The young auditor worked hard all day, in his crisp white collar and tie with his spotless new degree

Checking the procedures, cross checking them with documentation, fifteen examples of each

Late in the afternoon, he leant against the filing cabinet exhausted with his shirt tail hanging out

I had to resist tucking it in for him and licking my hanky and wiping his face and saying, "Good boy."

Guys, What the Hell Are You Thinking?

The blokes are wearing blue suits and brown shoes

Like a fashion virus, in the style stakes we all lose

Some bright spark thought it was a good combo

Then like clueless Lemmings the rest, apparently, followed

Roll of the eyes

Guys?

When I start writing poems in my head 

I know it is time to get out of bed

Apartment life

Built around a shopping centre

All the culture you need

 

Medium density housing.

Fat developers belch wealth

As the people go insane

When I was conceived,

my father didn’t want me,

my mother told me,

but my father was dead,

by then. And I was a man,

so I didn’t know what to think.

Writing

Cliché on cliché

That is mine

Sometimes cleverly

Wrapped up with a rhyme

Sexism

Men who stand for women on public transport 

Are an indication of the sexist attitudes that persist

Sign of the Times

So many people

Talk about so many things they know nothing about

With authority

What I could have been?

Thinking that I could, would have

been the greatest gift.

Something about love

That's what I have to think of?

Nourishment for the soul.

Gentlemen are done

Like blacksmiths and the fairer sex

They no longer exist

Red wine in the day

The smooth passage of time

Human beings are nicer

12.032017

I'm really not sure what this is saying, in fact, I think it is saying the opposite to what the truth is...

A splif after lunch

the smooth passage of time

Human beings are nicer

Red wine in the day

I go face down in the afternoon

Human beings are lesser

Post expert opinion

stupid and smart equally revered

the human race devolves

My 25 story office

from the window looking down

feel the city's depth

All the girls like "Miss"

Years of Feminism ignored

Girls want to be pretty

Faggot

I see them running 

for the tram,

satin frills and sweet cologne.

Let the pretty boys on,

with a reverential gaze

and a twitch of their crotch lip.

Close the doors on the fat girls,

with a hiss, and a giggle

and a mean scoff.

Queen’s wave

to the ugly slags

they left off.

I can’t help but laugh at the freedom

with which they operate in the world

despite their cruelty and their flagrant bullying,

of which, they have, probably, always been victim.

But even in the depths of their beastliness

there is a humour that clears them of the worst,

even if that is just because I am on their team.

Even if the fat girl can’t see it, left on the footpath

as they wave good bye and blow her kisses,

with a squeal and a flourish, as if to rub it in.

Politician

Don’t do as I do

Do as I fucken say

We’ll all get on much better that way

The Sisterhood

Scratching at the glass ceiling

With bloodied fingers

Telling anti-men jokes,

While calling out sexism

Comparing whose breasts

Were the most expensive

21st Century Feminism

Feminism today

Girls telling us what they don’t like

Not what they can do

Age

The old man is in a hurry, said the young man

The old man looked around to see who was racing past

The old man couldn't see anybody else
