Glad today’s over
A hard slog it was
Slaving away
For a tyrant of a boss
Slaving away
For a pittance
A minimum wage
Paid by villains
Dreading going back again
But needs must
In these hard times
Gotta earn a crust
Slaving away
For a pittance
A minimum wage
Paid by villains
Gonna get that shack
By those mountains
Close to the river
Saving those thousands
Slaving away
For a pittance
A minimum wage
Paid by villains
One day I’ll be free
One day
Keep the dream alive
It’s your life, but hey
Slaving away
For a pittance
A minimum wage
Paid by villains
Lost their way
Lost your way
Path obscured
Forever maybe…

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...''
