Songs of the city
2015
Where are you Martin?
Its best when the love
Is shared and hate is
Silenced.
When a few speak kindly
Amongst the noise of
Negative rhetoric.
Billions of years
working and all
man wants to do
Social media tirades,
Smart phone fascists,
All fighting fire with fire,
Everyone of them vowing
Smite for smite.
Surely a potential
ticking Time bomb.
Two sides so opposed,
one and the other sure
they are right.
It’s their 120 characters of
Fame. Relentless cries from the
Desperate.
Heavy handed put
downs From the
powerful,
Strengthening their platform,
It is mass reality TV.
Everything unfolding live,
Shock and awe style,
Mixed with shout outs and
Back slaps.
Where paedophiles
are Praised,
Domestic abusers are over Due their glory.
Let all be forgiven.
