My Regards to Missus Smithson

I don’t blame them for what they do

Parading around like clowns in dower gowns

Thrusting their dissatisfaction into the faces of others

It is not the quietest of methods they’ve adapted to

I’ll grant you that

But it’s out of pure desperation – of that I am sure

For I know Missus Smithson from a time further before

She was widowed.

Her and her husband, God bless his soul, were a fine pair around town

Always dancing in the streets, sharing their wealth with the crowds

They were. Her husband brought a lot of wealth to a lot of people

Oh how she cracked when he was found

Still clutching a barrel. Lifelessly laid on the tides breeding ground.

She was soon penniless, had to find a smaller pitch of land

His burial saw the last of their wealth go

Her tears have flowed ever since that day - now seven years ago

She lost her placement, found out who were and who her friends weren’t

I never thought she would sell herself like that

It’s a dire means to an end.

But in all honesty I salute her

For I know how painful loss can be

So come here Missus Smithson - I’ve got a crown or two for thee.

M e t a l l y D e r a n g e d


I was at High school

Waiting for Electronics to begin

Talking with a few mates

One of them had recorded a tape for me

Megadeth one one side

Metallica on the other

My avenue into heavy metal begins

Listening to their high speed guitars

And bumpy, thumpy drums

With vocals highlighting subjects

Normally unassociated with Pop

Telling truer stories

Of this world and what it has got

Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield

With associates put music together in a way

That I had never heard

I was instantly addicted

To this hyper-speed, metallic dirge

Like a drug - I craved more and more

The faster the better - the deeper the roar

Over the years this music has given

Both pleasure and pain

Traits associated with living

That most like to brush under the carpet

After 18 years of listening to this row

I've turned into a metally deranged freak

After almost 2 decades

The metal raging beast in my mind still never sleeps

Taking me to a point, then beyond

Into a hellish domain of being

Where humans are purged like blood from cattle

Stuck firm in dark and pessimistic prattle

With bare truth served as the dish of the day

In torturous fields - on the other side of enjoyment……..

…Namely (and unluckily for us all) decay… !

But what is the attraction

What makes me feel as if I have to be here

It is because I know what it is to be unhappy and deranged

Myself - speaking retrospectively

Before I had discovered my mind's own inner wealth

So now when I revisit that unholy yet sacred realm

I emit the light that I know shines from me

Into the chaos and uncertainty

With a flashing spiral from my mind

I fraternise and play with the dark Gods of yesteryears

In mental processes enhanced by grunted vocals

Trying to make sense of the twisted, hyper speed muddle

Escaping from the normal confides of everyday social activity

To remove the cloaking surrounding the essence of being

Like a lightening rod with my hair stood on end

I add to the dark unknown powers that embellish this planet

Like the oceans

I am a metally deranged person

There is no doubt about that

And in all honesty because without banging and clashing

This wouldn't be this and that wouldn't be that

I’m truly MeTaLLy DeRanGed

…..and …….I'm very f*&^ing proud of the fact

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The mushroom land

Crafted by an infants hand

Slowly the roof is constructed

The ingenuity & concentration

Of Man’s next generation

From a young mind’s invention

On a knee height log

His kingdom expands

Walls made of nails

Hammered with delicate precision

What shall we create for our world next?

Their minds express their minds indecision

A piece of wood

Triangular in shape

Into their developing dimension

More things take shape

Branches for the trees

Acorn cups of mushroom land

Attentions are diverted elsewhere

The whole building process stops

A tealight placed in amongst the

Rectangle building.

Darkness falls, the glimmering,

Flamescent glow. Glows.

For the rest of the evening

Madness is a weak mans form of anger

Insanity is not being able to admit one own prayer

Badness is ever burdening – rarely letting go

They seed visual pollutants – mind rejects the show

Fingers click, brain foresees conflict

Dignity salutes independence

Lowliness seeks independence

Irrationality – the unlearned person’s tool

Like the man in the Beetles song – a hill bound fool

Life is too short to argue and rabbit

The days not long enough for a game of scrabble

Noon doesn’t last. It never does.

Unable to see through walls that don’t exist.

Anxiety breaches the freedom we ourselves contain.

MASKED LUNATIC

+++++++++++++++++++++

Filth and decay

False prophecies pray

Leaving thr past

In festering disarray

Prominent features

Meet unqualified teachers

Wanna be preachers

Council fund leachers

Town hall mannicured

Town wall ridiculed

Promises sketched on paper

Local population fooled

Waste laid to rest

Down back alley ways

Out of sight of cash laden tourists

On off beaten tracks depravity crumbles

Away like the history of the town

Getting me and all concerned down

MASKED LUNATIC

Remember me?

Thought not

Well, I remember you

I'm gonna cook your bollocks like dumplings

I'm gonna boil up your guts like stew

I'll choke on your gristle

I'll writhe on your fat

I'll spew you back up into nettles and thorns

You piss exuberating twat

I

Can remember you laughing

Laughing

At me expense

After another night of alcoholic abuse

You'll awaken in burning recompense

The grease in your hair catches promptly

Disfiguring the already grotesque

Motor bikes explode

Rivalry between gang goes into overload

Size of the outlanding group starts to corrode

Burning bodies splat under lorries travelling the road

So that's one all now

I've evened the score

Leaving you to perish

In a burnt skin of leathery gore

The masked lunatic - has laid many to rest

The masked lunatic - eradicates the pest

The masked lunatic - removes what we detest

The masked lunatic - presents an unwinnable test

The masked lunatic - hunts those who pray

The masked lunatic - moves at night and sleeps by day

The masked lunatic - will never stop until the guilty have paid

The masked lunatic - gives you your final grade

MEMORIES HOLD US BACK

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When faces were younger

With eyes less old

When the world was an exciting, unexplored playground

When your body worked optimally and you didn’t feel the cold

Back when garden walls were taller than you

Back when the rest of the world’s inhabitants looked like giants

Back when slides, swings and climbing frames never grew tiresome

Memories hold us back – as thoughts of pleasure evolve into pain

Memories hold us back – as we want the things we knew and loved back again

Memories hold us back – it’s fact.

Possessions that we look at – but never use

They link us to the past, a deep strength in our mind casts

Holding us back, putting us back, shifting us around at will

Nelson’s column is seen from Bollard Quay along Southtown Road

I’m transported back to when I was sixteen and in First Love

The fifteen years previously seem to have not existed

I didn’t look that different back then

I was a trillion seconds away from any of my hairs turning grey

I probably had to shave once a week back then

...And here I stay mentally, as all associated aspects propogate my mind...

Without any due attention I continue along the Malted Way

Memories hold us back – there’s no disputing that

With them we feel the strongest power that we have

MEMORIES OF FAITH

+++++++++++++++++++

The world is always spinning

So they say

The seasons differ

But in essence remain the same

Flies, butterflies & sun beetles pass

Are they working or playing?

I get my ears up close to them

But no matter how hard I try

I cannot hear what they are saying

Looking up

Then out to sea

Different emotions roll over me

I feel a part of this world and

At one with myself

The clay on which I sit

Millennia old

Its outer layer warm and crumbly

Its inner furnaceable and cold

My mind rolls like the waves near by

Along the coastal shores

Where I reside

Until darkness falls

ENDLESS ROTATIONS

IRRELEVANT QUESTIONS

THE WORLD SPINS AWAY WITH THE YARN OF TIME

SPLINTERING PAINLESSLY

BLACK HOLE, SPIRALLING REALITY, ROLLING AWAY

METEORS SPLASHING INTO THE PACIFIC

NO WHERE SPECIFIC

FLASH FLOODS, HIGH TIDES, MILE HIGH WAVES

THE AMOUNT OF LAND UNDERWATER – HORRIFIC

THROUGH THE SEASONS, BEYOND THE FOUR WE KNOW

IN CONCLUDED THEORETICAL DATAISMS OUR KNOWING GROWS

BUT WHAT USE IS PREDICTION?

ONLY MAKING US AWARE OF MASS HUMAN CRUCIFICTION

THEN WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES –

IF THE VOICE WITH THE POWER HAS MADE THE RIGHT DECISION

INFINITE ORBITS – RETREADING

MILE UPON MILE OF CARPETED CORRIDOR TREADING

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS – EXPRESSING – HOW MUCH THEY’RE DREADING

OUR UNIVERSE AS WE KNOW – TOO COMPLEX TO OUR MINDS FOR RETHREADING

UNDRAINABLE, UNOBTAINABLE, BUT JUST MAYBE ~ TRAINABLE

WHO KNOWS WHAT POWERS WE’LL ATTRIBUTE, FUTURE TENSE

OF A TENSE FUTURE

BEHOLD OUR PRESENT, OUR PRESENCE

OUR PERSECUTIONER OR OUR RECOMPENSE?
