(Sad)

Forty years gone,
Memories still strong.
...

Fingers and thumbs,
Through the photo albums.
Recalling the moments,
And the past events.
...

Well I could not help myself and had to quip,
“Fantastic stuff, get the flags out quick.”
News stated, “We're out of the double dip recession, ”
Is it just the 'money men' playing the game of illusion?
...

Yes, those record shops, at times hours spent,
Or popped in, check the ‘charts’ for a moment.
For the latest group or artist,
Looking down the top twenty to hundred list.
...

Last Right.

Union’s last right,
The right to strike.
...

Express what you feel,
Just keep it real.
Personal experiences are easier,
Observations may require structure.
...

We think we have it bad,
However, not like him and the four years he has had.
His life was shattered and turned around.
We moan and twist at the slightest sight and sound.
...

Death of the Tape.

Holding them close to my chest,
I know it is for the best.
...

Haven’t visited the food bank yet,
However, against the future, would not bet.
Wouldn’t rule out the ‘soup’ kitchen either,
Come close recently to a dire future.
...

One way street, cars either side,
Half way along, almost through,
His access route was denied.
A simple action he asked the man to do.
