Working the grind everyday
All for a measly pittance pay
Paying the gas and the electric too
Just to stop those fingers blue
Money comes and money goes
Rarely seen, in the wind it blows
Invisible money never seen
Taken by legal thieves
You have to wonder at it all
Slaving away to others rules
Scraping by with scraps to eat
Struggling to make ends meet
Money comes and money goes
Rarely seen, in the wind it blows
Invisible money never seen
Taken by legal thieves
Last few coins to spare
In a pocket run threadbare
Work is slack, laying people off
May now lose a job
Money comes and money goes
Rarely seen, in the wind it blows
Invisible money never seen
Taken by legal thieves
You gotta hope, you gotta believe
But without money it’s hard to breathe
No escape from the constrains of life
Nowhere for you to run and hide
Money comes and money goes
Rarely seen, in the wind it blows
Invisible money never seen
Taken by legal thieves

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...''
