I awake to a sad world
fast losing hope
Jobs going everywhere
as people struggle to cope
Food prices soar
out-pricing those on the breadline
As they eat scraps
and the rich eat very fine
Wars increase all over
and the far right rise once again
As politicians turn their backs
in the shadows they do blend
Madmen in America
shoot the innocent with fish eyes
As a president says words
of anger, hopefully not lies
Sadness everywhere you look
and many losing faith
In our governments and religion
it’s us they always betray
It can only go one way
and I hope it doesn’t in my lifetime
For a world war could be coming
humanities worst crime
Pray that someone does right
and this doesn’t come to pass
Or we’re all doomed
just look at the echoes of the past

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...''
