Life of Conformity in a Free Society courtesy of neevintegralliving.com The man he gets up early
But no work has he
His frame a little bit burly
He likes a good feed
A woman across from him
Lives her life selflessly
She does good without sin
A good person she tries to be
But are struggling in
Their own way
A life journey they have been
Living day by day
The burly man his dreams
Long gone
He fought, gave up it seems
Took many paths wrong
Whilst the good girl has
Done the same
Fought all her life she had
No-one does she blame
He blames overs for his mistakes
For the paths he has taken
No dream home for him by the lakes
In conformity road he lives forsaken
But she still fights
For that break
Guided by her faiths light
This the path she did take
Why oh why oh why
Do they struggle so?
Why oh why oh why
Does one fight and one flow?
On conformity Road

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...''
