Leaving behind...A Poem by PaulineLeaving behind the ‘future fakers’ Preaching political religions to birch-white faces clouded eyes I walk Away from hustle and bustle To the freedom of the hills Away from the realm of the disillusioned I walk Draining the ignorance that this cracked world has steeped me in Away from the black suited foxes That slowly eat our brains with a smile On their over indulged faces I walk Away from constant demands (Arguing the toss is not allowed) My mind full to the brim with Channel boaters one too many Cell block H and back-stabbers Winos whining Light fingered bozoes Trigger fingered gang bangers Overcrowding is rife Prisons are being emptied Soon to fill up again with rioters Fuel gone over the top No heat for Pensioners Skint is the new word on the block I walk The brain forcing loaded dirty deeds Through its already overloaded colander I walk wondering Will my toes start leaking garbage © 2024 Pauline |
