Rundown Area taken by the author Darren Greenidge Car alarms go off
once again
Along with shops
every day
As below kids
scream and shout
and drugs waft up
from below
Trouble brews
all the time
But little is
sadly done
As society
crumbles all around
Falling like
the Berlin Wall
A new block
rundown fast
By many who
care little
Waifs and strays
layabouts
Some looking
for escape
Little Iraq
it’s been called
And so it
will remain
Whilst others
try to break free
From the battleground
and prison keep
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...''
