Money they say
Entices almost everyone
Especially those who believe
That unless they have it in plenty
...
The dizzying city lights
The speeding trains
The unending queues
Of people in a mighty hurry
...
He relied on his sense of touch
Without having to say much
Randy was a young blind child
Brought up almost in the wild
...
My little blue angel
He always watched over me
Right through my childhood
He kept me out of trouble
...
A near perfect face
Exuding a touch of grace
A Cleopatra-like long neck
Enhanced with delicate jewellery

To be related
To stay united in families
And for the families to live
...
Tears rolled in rivulets
Down his grubby little face
A punished school boy
Standing in disgrace

He sipped the elixir
With the same degree
Of guilt or satisfaction
That Adam had
...
The little boy’s eyes followed
The wine glass as its level dropped
He wondered what it tasted like
His Mother seemed to savour each sip
...
A gold wedding band
Flashes on her ring finger
Too late to back out
...
