The world in which we live in is a horrible mess
Our governments don’t give a damn, couldn’t care less
By 2100 we quadruple in growth
A lack of water as well as food and jobs so low
Eighteen million to seventy-five people shall be
In this small island we call a country
The strain on us all will be intolerable
But in truth we’re all disposable
People disillusioned with their lives
No future for them, nothing for to strive
Dreams are shattered through control of a nation
Like lambs to the slaughter, for them no elation
A time will come when people say enough
To those who rule over all of us
Recently this has been touched upon
In scary proportions, it won’t be long
So much hate and so much bitterness
Too many people are at a loss
Heads bowed in supplicant fear and obedience
These poor sad people have lost all resilience
What price our children’s future now
What future for all of us in villages and towns
Cities sprawl in fear and so shake
Spirits are lost, by our leaders they break

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...''
