Some Days

Some days,

it just feels like I am all the way along the road, 

and when I look forward there isn't so much further to go, 

and when I look back it seems such a long way that I have come, 

but it has all gone, and so much of it doesn't even exist anymore 

and it only took such a very short time to get here.

 

Life

Ephemeral,

my fingertips slip from yours.

Alone in the end.

Ultimate irony,

racists have the blackest hearts.

The blind cannot see.

I Can Only Assume Tearing Other People Down Makes Them Feel Better About Their Lives

Racists wearing their badge of

ignorance with pride, you can almost see

the stupidity in their eyes, when they repeat

the clichés passed down from one generation

to the next, like they actually mean something,

I can only guess, making them feel superior,

for the only moment in their lives that they do.

Spider

There’s a spider who lives in my toilet,

behind the toilet brush in the corner,

far enough away from the handle

for me not to grab him. I look at him

when I have a pee. He looks at me

from his web up the side of the door frame.

We live in peace together, he’s got his

life, I’ve got mine. He’s lovely, shiny brown,

I’d miss him if he was not around.

I Don’t Understand Conservatives

Left wing

Angel wing

Right wing

Chicken wing

This wing

My wing

That wing

Ring a ding

Let’s all sing

Clap your symbols

Ching Ching

Kumbaya, la la,

As the right wing

Tears itself apart

Over the latest thing

‘cause we can’t have that

As it’s a sin,

If we change things

Where do we begin.

It is too dangerous

A thing,

A slippery slope

Down which we’ll all could slip

Zing.
