They live under the flag
of Red, white and Blue
Like many others that
include me and you
This flag of union
spreads freedom and peace
But in reality
it’s all a lie, can you see?
Freedom of speech is what
we have so we’re told
As long as we don’t offend
Or be sued, left out in the cold
Businesses sold off left, right
and centre
The flag a false image that
looks good on paper
Free slaves we all seem
to be, you and me
Making money for future
rulers to be
Taxed to the hilt and
fighting for food
This the life we all
face, stuck with, not for us to choose
Under the great flag
of red, white and blue

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...''
