Let’s hunker around the t.v.
Grab a drink, maybe some beer or wine
Christmas equals everyone and me
Celebrating the season is divine…

Stage 4 ‘ready as we go’ (for the season) Day 20
Lie back look to the stars in hope
To the 3 kings we watch and wait
Gifts aplenty journey towards the gate ajar,
It’s the opportunity to open our hearts
The Bethlehem of now says ‘welcome’
Room is offered to everyone in need
At this Christmas time maybe no one will go without a feed…

Stage 3 ‘In Readiness’ (for the season) Day 14
Relax, exhale, breathe
Shiver, twitch, distract
Wait, work, reveal
Food, stomach, attract…

Marvel (ous) Universe Begins- Part 1
The Strength of the HULK
The speed of IRON MAN
To beat you to a pulp
Or crush you like a tin can
The God-like power of the THOR
The return of CAPTAIN AMERICA’s Steve
The action, never will it bore
Or make you want to get up and leave
The mind altering prowess of XAVIER
The cutting, sharpness of the WOLVERINE
Could Charles be mankind’s ultimate saviour?
A showstopper if put on our screens…
Would Jean Grey ‘lift’ our wilting mood
Could MAGNETO ‘attract’ our me(n)tal attention?
If they had children – what an awesome brood
The road to mutant revolution or cessation?
Eye wonder how CYCLOPS sees things?
The intelligent BEAST would confur maybe?
The future is here for super human beings
Shield’s response would be swift and scathing?
What does Fury know
You understand he could be mimicked by Raven
Her effervescent camouflage never shows
As she cleverly hides inside her own little haven
Sticking to our human nature we look to the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
Is he related to the mysterious BLACK WIDOW?
He lives in an apartment no bigger than a tin can
This Russian keeps secrets she wants no one else to know
Apparently an apocalyptic event is upon us
Will we be rescued and at what cost?
A few mum’s and Dad’s with some extra Vitamin B+?
I’m waiting to be saved by a certain Emma Frost….
The Journey (the 4th in the Tube Traveller Diaries)
Where I arrive and leave…
Where to start
maybe at the beginning
Train was late
Left my head spinning
worried about the underground
headache on the way
change of plans in effect
Taxi – is now the order of the day
missed the rocking and rolling
the warm stuffy atmosphere
missed the close proximity
of not being on board there
exit St. Pancras
waiting ages for mr. black cab
we debated the scrouge of Mr Uber
the conversation was anything but drab
heading for a Brunei owned park lane hotel
I only do upmarket you see
the doorman open my taxi door
there I was, out stepped, little old me
the deed was done
the return was now planned
Green Park Tube was calling me
for today however; the tube was banned
The name actually makes sense…parks are usually green…
maybe on another day
me and my TFL travellers will unite
enjoying the flexible JOURNEY
that operates any day and any night..
All together now?
Are we really?
Doesn’t seem like it any more
Words cannot express how;
To save your life you play dead on the floor
Are these events last week Paris
The tipping point in this thousand years war
The undercurrent simmering like a now erupting volcano
For which we’d better find an ice cold cure
Are we really all that different
Aren’t we blood, veins, muscle and sinew?
Do we vent like Andrew Neil
In an verbal attempt to not let this madness continue
Are we preventing rather than cure
Getting to the root, planting the right seeds
A careful, meticulous response is a possible thrust
In hopes of developing non-violent, religious agnostic deed
Are we the last generation to consume
Such vociferous, rabid disdain and utter hate
The mind boggles at the inhumanity displayed
There’s nothing we want to eat now that’s on our plate
Are we going to find answers in; bombs; bullets; diplomacy?
Whatever shape or form they might be
Look to the US, UK, China, Russia, France, the UN etal
The eyes of the world have been opened for all to see
Are we to view the horizon with genuine hope
A conglomeration of the best minds, tactics and strategy
Getting to very heart of a fiercely religious, dedicated group
A solution lies in educating the youngest of babies
So are we really all together?
This HAS to be resolved in the time to come
Every facet of human existence must be exhausted
We all deserve to walk freely and not have to run
Are we there yet?
There is much strength and endurance in a feather
A whisper in the right ear can be heard across the globe
It’s message rings out loud ‘We are ALL together’
Global State of Play
THERE ARE MANY KEYS TO OUR WORLD
BUT SOME DOORS SHOULD REMAIN CLOSED
NOWADAYS THEY BEGIN TO UNFURL
WITH MANY OF US LEFT COMATOSED
BY A WAR THAT HAS BEGUN
NOT AMONGST COUNTRIES AGAINST EACH OTHER
IN A BLAZE LIKE THE RISING OF A NEW SUN
WE’RE IN A WHOLE LOT OF BOTHER
NOT BY PLANES FLYING OVERHEAD
NOT BY MISSILES FALLING FROM THE SKY
BUT BY THE NEIGHBOUR WE THOUGHT WAS DEAD
BY THE NEIGHBOUR WHO ‘WOULDN’T HURT A FLY’
‘BE ON THE WATCH’ THE BIBLE TELLS US
WE DON’T KNOW THE HOUR OR THE DAY
IN THESE COMMENTS WE HAVE TO PLACE TRUST
THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT IS ALREADY IN DECAY
ANARCHY MIGHT BE A STRONG WORD
BUT HOW FAR WILL SOME PEOPLE GO
MANKIND’S RECORD IS LOUD AND MUST BE HEARD
AN EXAMPLE OF THIS MADNESS, THEY HAVE ALREADY SHOWN
SOME SAY RELIGION IS ONE OF THOSE ‘KEYS’
CAUSE OR CURE? THE DECISON UP TO YOU
WE SHOULD ALL BE ON OUR KNEES
PRAYING FOR AN ANSWER, FOR SOMETHING NEW
PEACE AND THE DOVE, ARE IN THE DISTANCE
A FAINT, ALMOST NEVER ENDING DREAM
WE MUST, WE HAVE TO BE PERSISTENT
FOR OUR VERY LIFE ON EARTH, IS WHAT I MEAN
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST NO LONGER APPLIES
THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THIS KIND OF WAR
MILLIONS INDISCRIMINATELY SUFFER, MANY MORE WILL DIE
NOT EVEN THE SKIES CAN SAVE US, EVEN IF WE SOAR
IS RELIGION AND OUR GOD TO BE OUR SAVIOUR, OUR SHIELD
YOUR FAITH IS YOURS TO DECIDE
BUT WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR ALL OF US TO YIELD
LET’S HOPE THERE IS A PLACE TO HIDE
CAN THIS BE STOPPED, WILL THERE BE AN END?
WE CAN’T DIFFUSE AN ALREADY EXPLODED BOMB…
WE MUST NEVER ACQUIESCE, HOWEVER, NEVER BEND
LIVE OUT OUR LIVES WITH APLOMB
MANKIND HAS SUFFERED AND SURVIVED
THROUGHOUT THOUSANDS OF YEARS
AN ANSWER IS A TRAIN WAITING TO ARRIVE
AT THE STATION THAT KNOWS NO FEAR
THAT TRAIN IS FULL OF HUMAN BEINGS
YES, GOD-FEARING, LOVING PEOPLE
LIVING LIKE WE SHOULD – LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING
OUR CHILDREN NOT HAVING TO WALK THROUGH TREACLE
SIDESTEPPING, POISONS, GASES AND EXPLOSIONS
BECOMING OVERLY CONSCIOUS OF A RACE OR PERSONS
THAT IN ITSELF IS A TERRIFYING NOTION
THAT THEY ARE LEFT TO CAST ASPERSIONS
HUMAN NATURE CAN KICK IN
SOME SAY WE’RE FIGHTING A NEVER ENDING WAR
PATIENCE CAN BE WORN VERY THIN
AS THEY LIVE – YET ATTACK THE DEMOCRATIC CORE
A DOUBLE STANDARD, LIKE AN AGENT IN THE WW1 OR TWO
SLEEPING WITH IT’S ENEMY WITH A SMILE
THIS HAS TO BE HANDLED LIKE A COO
TO GET THEM AFAR, RUNNING A MILE..
HOPE AND TRUST IN FRIENDS, FAMILY OR YOUR FAITH
YOU HOLD IT TIGHT, LIKE A MOTHER DOES A BABY GIRL
MAKING YOU FEEL COMFORTED, SOUND AND SAFE
AS YOU CONTINUE THE DAILY FIGHT, IN THE ‘WAR OF OUR WORLD’…
