Land of the ‘free' he was born unintentionally,
Away from his native home, returning at the age of three.
Back to a place uncompromising and tough,
...
'I intend to run for parliament,
And represent you in government.
Want to be your M.P,
Vote me in, trust me!
...
Born into tradition,
generation gone by.
Mind of condition,
about to defy.
...
A damn disgrace, an outrage,
In this modern day and age.
Food banks, and charities,
Soup kitchens and volunteers.
...
Carnage of war,
Wounded, What's it all for.?
Question the insanity,
got to break free.
...
Each one of us is searching for an end, well before its'due to arrive.
Each trying to contend, in life we strive.
Searching for an answer, a meaning, consciously or dreaming.
As to what and why we are in the universe?
...
Soul destroyed, pride almost gone.
Unemployed, for eternally long.
Time caught up with skills of old,
Mind and body, not enough against the modern world.
...
Germany, stationed there were two regiments,
Welsh boys with 'fun'-taking comments.
The "Black Mafia" did n't take too kindly to that,
Some thing they would have to do, matter of fact!
...
On the TV, the medium for their charity,
Not a hair out of place, smug face.
Through them they say 'God loves beams, ' follow him to fulfill our dreams.
The lord loves us all, let's us prepare for the final call.
...
Born of noble ancestry,
forgotten hero of history.
Lands and estate,
Greatness would await.
...
Growing up into the'deep south'way,
Black and White, no grey.! !
‘Know your place'every day,
No change, things just stay.!
...
Harrowing situation,
Cut to the bone with his affliction.
Invisible disease eating away,
His function and mind in decay.
...
Transported to the camp of death,
Minutes from her last breath.
She was told to get undressed,
A familiar face spoke to her, he confessed.
...
The humble sarnie,
Is an absolute delight to me?
Two slices of bread,
About to be lead..
...
Hurt and pain don’t describe,
What is felt inside.
When grief touches, numbness rebounds,
No words needed, the eyes speak the sounds.
...
The year ‘38 radio show,
But most didn't know.
Not real, just a production,
What a reaction!
...
Finally gone, laid to rest,
Forget the gossip, the hounding press.
Not the best some would suggest,
Just an alcoholic, they would protest.
...
Conversation breaks down,
So begins the ‘silent sound’.
The quietness only broken,
By sharp words spoken.
...
The year was AD nine,
An unknown yet a defining time.
Germania, now modern Germany,
Site of utter catastrophe?
...
Sleek and iconic.
Marvel of design, superb.
Curves of magic,
Many a true word.
...

Land of the ‘free' he was born unintentionally,
Away from his native home, returning at the age of three.
Back to a place uncompromising and tough,
Growing into a leader, in a twilight zone.
Thoughts of what would happen if no one behind?
For survival, others and luck were not enough,
When totally on own.
Will victory be signed?
Enrolling in an ancient art to better his way on the street,
Brushing with the law, they were dangerous days.
At times, his face is the only one his teacher would meet!
Totally in to all it's ways.
Frustration to get away,
To contemplate training and self scorn.
Floating in a boat, he lay,
Anger punched the water, which he sailed upon.
‘Water', the essence of what should be,
Realisation starts to dawn.
Absorb and penetrate, it's the reality,
Suddenly a bird flies by and casts its shadow, another meaning is born.
The mind has to be the reflection, moving but still,
‘Detached' from the disturbance.
From the physical skill,
To create harmony and balance.
Sent away for his own good,
By concerned parents.
To make a life if he could,
To his birth land, hope he represents.
Five years practice behind,
New land, new knowledge to find…..
You hit the nail on the head every time.
