Just updated her CV this past week
on two pages her life on paper does keep
She looks at what she’s done these past ten years
what a waste, brings her to tears
If only she had a time machine to go back
correct those mistakes, try a different tack
To make sure life is more of a success
then this struggle she could put to rest
Work is the curse of the drinking classes Wilde said
in which they’re all worked to death
Governments create this vicious circle we are in
and all we do is take it on the chin
Different generations have had their breaks
but money a difference does it make
Also a guiding hand to help us along
simply because some are lost, not that strong
Just two pages of A4 paper can make or break
honesty and integrity should it take
but harder and harder is it now
To break the cycle in this and any town
But changes can be made if you make the grade
so in this life you may not fade
Words on paper can be changed for it’s never too late
for her and others it can be great

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...''
