I get to thinking about those in charge
The ones who avoid the situation gone too far
These that want the power but not the responsibility
The problem moves along the chain of command in ratlike agility
They sneer, they hiss they watch with beady eyes
And so turn a blind eye to all the cries
They only seek power to control and rule
In the hope of reaching new heights, they fool
These people get off on hurting others
Even if it were their sisters or brothers
They act in a bitter and twisted way
Like kids throwing a tantrum all day
The type that like nails down a chalkboard
They only bark and never talk
And probably were bullied themselves as kids
The lonely road they walk, telling fibs
People should fight back to the bullies punches
Stop them from stealing your kids lunches
They come in all shapes and forms
School, work or play, like a bad storm
Stand up to them and don’t be afraid
Only people they are who are fake
So show them you hold no fear
Tell them loud and shout it clear!

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
