Month: April 1988
Crucifix – 11th April 1988
Crux of complexity
Influx of society
Crannies or crooks
No violence – just looks
Crucifixation in terms
Contradiction soon learns
Religion has no ethics
Just in need of a new fix
Ivan The Terrible – 10th April 1988
A man born of concentration
Is now a victim of your extermination
Atrocities of ages past
You can have your revenge at last
Find a scapegoat, say ‘he’s the one’
Your court of law can’t be wrong
The trial seemed fair to you
And to a hundred thousand other Jews
Now you can exercise your right
To exterminate another life
David’s Tale – 9th April 1988
Sad but true is David’s tale
The winds did change when he set sail
See him now his face is pale
Watch the conqueror start to fail
Through seventy days of pain and toil
Never in sight of a comfortable soil
The seas they did begin to boil
The monsters came to claim their spoil
So here ends David’s song
To which no epitaph can belong
Mothballs – 8th April 1988
Six million moths jumping round the room
Gotta get rid of them and pretty soon
Shout in desperation and mother calls
“Here, why don’t you try these mothballs?”
Mice and Elephants – 7th April 1988
Sorry if I trod on your toes
Whatever you say sometimes goes
Compatible? More like comparable
To mice and elephants
Sorry if I broke your nose
We may be just ebbs and flows
I should’ve guessed, I suppose
Alone – 5th April 1988
Something strange, not quite at home
But not out there and not on the phone
The sound of something quiet, like seeds being sown
The surreal serenity of being on your own
No loneliness can compare to being alone
Four Letter Word – 4th April 1988
Down on your luck
Trying to make a buck
The dirt just turns to muck
So you walked in front of a truck
Shit….
Runt – 2nd April 1988
You were the runt of the litter
And that made you feel bitter
You hit your mum to upset her
And that made you feel better
