It fades

The red, yellow

Flickers blue,

The beat is

Slow and weak,

I'd gladly

Stoke the fires

Of hell

If you would

Only

Speak.

Bubbleland by The Green Flare

I'm happier not knowing thanks,

I'd rather just envision.

I'll just sit here, in Bubbleland,

Not watch the television.

Too much know is not so good.

With twisted facts, half understood.

And orange people with bright teeth,

Shout out the latest corporate beef.

Expecting us to feel the grief,

While never looking underneath.

I, upon the other hand,

Am happier in Bubbleland.

I get the picture, all is shit,

That would seem the sum of it.

They hate them and they hate those.

Another Tyrant to depose?

While we, the peaceful are asleep,

Satellites in space go bleep.

Sending news on down our way.

Tomorrow is another day!

But I've banned the clock to make a stand.

We won't get up, in Bubbleland.

The Shadow Weaver

I think this is great.

A rare moment of boredom

Full of emptiness

Blue and dull.

Can't even be bored

Enough to care.


I'm hiding,

Looking for a

Me

That's somewhere.

Anywhere.


Whatever.

Don't think

Don't think,
You're not qualified.

What's to be gained,
From such effort?

After all, there's only you,
Standing between the facts.

Mirror Mirror by Spike Milligan

One of my all time favourites, I think the writing of Spike Milligan is very special. His War (and Peace) memoirs, were the first books that made my cry with laughter. I was about 14 at the time. The joy is, that there are always gems to discover, or re-discover.

I found this one today. Simply brilliant.

Mirror Mirror

A young spring-tender girl
Combed her joyous hair
'You are very ugly' said the mirror.
But,
On her lips hung
A smile of dove-secret loveliness,
For only that morning had not
The blind boy said,
'You are beautiful'?
