![]() A fever burnsA Poem by Mark Heathcote![]() A fever burns like a jetlag, hell And it happens every day, Try just to pay your way… Feed and dress your family, It isn’t easy these days. Nor was it easy in your parent’s days. So when your anger burns" Because you want to rise-up and live Remember how too your elders suffered… At the hands of a so called, brother. Oh, freedom… Is only a memory of your head in a basket? Oh, freedom… Is a hypocrite asking for your votes? Making women out of blokes Ooh a fever burns like a jetlag, hell And it happens every day, Try just to pay your way… God was a bartering fool Who thought he could trust Man with an unforgiving soul And still find his way home. But it isn’t easy these days. Just trying to be nice Being a good neighbour Because it isn’t easy these days To feed or dress your family Nor was it easy in your parent’s days. So when your anger burns" Because you want to rise-up and live Remember how too your elders suffered… At the hands of a so called, brother. Oh, freedom… Is only a memory of your head in a basket? Oh, freedom… Is a hypocrite asking for your votes? Making women out of blokes Ooh a fever burns like a jetlag, hell. © 2013 Mark Heathcote |

My muse almost demands it of me. So you may find quite a few being poured out from time to time. I all so write man.. more..Writing
