Been reading the news today, went pale
About a trial in Italy
Where after four years of gaol
Two tried for murder are set free
An Italian and an American girl
Were sent down for a girls death
Caught up in a media swirl
They will now smell money’s breath
While the family or poor Meredith
Will be shedding tears
For these two freed, a US gift
What will happen when the fallout clears?
One is still languishing in a hole
Sentenced for the crime, he rots alone
Who’s guilt weighs on their soul
Whilst two tried now go home
Justice, law and government pressure
It’s all politics and not about the victim
It shows us how as humans we measure
To low standards, the disease not the symptom

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...''
