vote muppet Picture credit unknown So here we go again
Another election, a
cross to bare
These Muppets with their lies
Who are they kidding with
their crocodile cries
It’s us who are always
left last
The ones who scrimp
and save
Only for it to go
from one hand to another
They never listen
Only when it’s too late
Always blaming the other
Who left open the gates?
They never listen
They never learn
A past riot
Soaring bills
Angry mobs
We’ve had our fill
It’s them who build bridges
only for them to burn
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...''

It is so true. I suppose though there is also the argument that “we” could always stand for election ourselves … do we get what we deserve (because of our apathy)?
I don’t think we get much of a choice really as I noticed earlier when voting and who we have to vote for. It’s them or not much else unless we form new parties but then it’s a never-ending cycle of the same thing day in and out, each blaming the other for the troubles when all are responsible. It’s frustrating and I think it’s time for a new type of government for this way here in what we have in the UK has not done much in progression in its 800 years to better things that much really.
