Why Fear
.
She is my voice
Hers are my tears
Crying in the wilderness
Silent in my fears
.
Afraid to open the gates
Lest I should drown
Showing my nakedness
My helplessness I own
.
I am not ashamed
To declare you my God
My maker my creator
So tell me why
Oh why do I hide
My feelings deep inside

Chaos Subdued
.
Our world is in chaos
Confusion reigns
Where there was order
All is in disarray
Like a rash of pustules
Erupts around a volcano
Small boils burst
Peace gives (s)way to turmoil
And God is lost
In the fear and horror
As man becomes a warrior
In the war against himself

Goodbye Mister Zee
.
The masses are restless
After a long sleep
They thought they could trust you
But instead what did you do
Fleeced them and kept them
In subservient positions
Untrained and earning a pittance
Conned them with meaningless words
Surrounded yourself with comrades
Afraid to speak the truth–
Even under oath
Fear is the currency of value
But at last the tide is turning
People’s hearts are burning
And Elvis has left the building

Insanity
.
Is insanity contagious
When behaviour is outrageous
Humanity has exited
And adrenalin is now
The drug of choice
Freely available
To all who are unable
To contain their hu- (a-)nger
Addicts all who need
Gratification in an instant
Satisfaction in the moment
Boasting bloodlust
Cruelty and destruction
Of animal existence
And when that is not sufficient
Turning on their own
Driven higher and higher
Until they im- or ex-plode
While dancing on the edge of death
.
Give me instead
The wild countryside
Sweet-smelling grasses
Unsullied waters
Peace and tranquillity
Kindness and harmony
The way to truly survive
This rat-race called life

I can’t remember your face,
Darkly as it always was,
Heavily clouded eyes
Looking ever inward,
Unseeingly – seemingly
Hovering on the edge of life.
Scant memories of love and laughter,
Only of misery and blame;
Looking through the album
Of remembrances,
You were the night to my day,
The dark to my light
Fading away…
You were the depth of my shame
Brought to mind again.

~~
When your gut is tight with fear
Remember to say a prayer
Because God is always near
And you can be sure that He will hear
~~
You are a magnet
Attracting the things you dread
Drawing them ever closer
Like a horseshoe enticing lead*
~~
God will protect us
He will never reject us
And the pathway to God is Love
We must clear the road for His light
Open our hearts to Him
Feel his love come pouring in
~~
* Lead is not affected by a magnet – poetic licence!

His fingers slipped in sweat
As he strived to contain the threat.
Drops ran down his brow
Restricting most of his view.
He paused to wipe his face
And, consciously braced,
Separated the wires,
Checking them with care,
Swallowing his fear.
Then, eyes shut tight
Closing out the light,
He used his knife
And sliced.

Merry go Round
The Merry go Round
Laughing children on the ride,
Shouting, waving, being merry;
Parents standing round outside,
Smiling, calling, cameras clicking.
Up and down went the horses,
Round and round went the ride,
Faster, faster, screamed the kiddies,
And a knob was pressed to oblige.
The cries of joy became cries of fear
As panic filled them all;
Parents, children and bystanders
Realised it was out of control.
I jerked awake from my sleep
Relieved it was only a scare,
But next morning I was told by my children
Their school was going to the fair.
