What do you do? Not your job, not your title, Not the daily grind But what do you do When you see the sunrise Do you stop and marvel At such beauty What do you do When you see someone hurting Do you stop and ask If you can ease their pain Do you taste…
Great websites
Recently I wrote about some Youtube channels I find to be excellent, and today I thought I’d talk about some website that are worth a look at. As usual, my tastes vary widely, so I hope there will be something for everyone. http://www.openculture.com/ I’ve been a fan of this website for many years. It covers…
Annihilation of a human being
This is how you do it Step by step, dismantling of a life Marginalisation first Age, disability, race Deny employment While pretending it’s nothing personal Remove services Because who can afford to subsidise the useless Repossess homes, transport And sneer at the human rubbish on the street A job well done
Review “Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline
I believe this is the kind of novel they call ‘young adult’. I am not a young adult, but I enjoyed it a lot, possibly because I am in the other category that might enjoy this – someone who was a teenager in the eighties. The story is this – in a run down future,…
Future
Walking into the fog It’s a real pea souper Can’t see a foot in front of my face Glimpses of possibilities Murky and unclear Can’t see the ground on which I’m walking Might fall off a cliff any moment Feeling my way like one blind Living presently Now is all that matters Leave the future…

Great Youtube channels
I thought I’d talk about some Youtube channels I think are rather good. In keeping with my site’s theme, they’re a bit of a mixed bunch, so I hope readers find something of interest in the following. I've added links to the channels and an example of each. They’re not listed in any order of…
Intention and perception
I intended good You saw evil You intended humour I saw hurt I chatter when I’m nervous You call me aggressive I’m hurt by your actions Only joking, you said Where do I stand Up is down and black is white We speak a different language You and I I am tired of…
Review “Breakfast of Champions” by Kurt Vonnegut
“Breakfast of Champions” is overt metafiction and satire, and it may be one of the weirdest examples of Vonnegut’s work. Loosely, the story is about a writer who has been published a lot but who is not well known, and a man who is mentally ill but no one has noticed. They meet, and this…
